DetailsA Guy Called Gerald (Live in Session) With The Jungle Drummer, Colin Dale, Normski, Will B... On Saturday 2nd May, The Sub Rooms welcomes legendary UK electronic music producer A Guy Called Gerald, for a powerful LIVE show hosted by Normski, alongside special guests including The Jungle Drummer and vocalists David Simpson and Yeukai Makoni, with DJ sets from Colin Dale and Will B. A Guy Called Gerald operates in a state of permanent evolution. While the history books rightfully cite him as a primary architect of the UK’s electronic DNA - the man behind the Hacienda-defining “Voodoo Ray” and a founding member of 808 State - Gerald has never been one for the retrospective circuit. He’s a musician who treats the studio as a laboratory and the stage as a testing ground for his ongoing experiments in ‘black secret technology’, collaborating with David Bowie, Cabaret Voltaire, Black Uhuru, Finley Quaye, Lamb, Tricky and The Stone Roses. From the proto-jungle blueprints of albums such as “28 Gun Bad Boy” and “Black Secret Technology” to his later explorations in modular synthesis and avant-garde jazz fusion, Gerald’s career is a masterclass in staying ahead of the curve. The night will be hosted by Normski, a leading authority on urban and contemporary culture, who has had a prolific career in the field of music, television, photography, fashion and journalism. His new book, ‘The Man with the Golden Shutter’, features iconic photographs of Public Enemy, N.W.A., Cypress Hill, De La Soul, Goldie, Ice-T, Run DMC, and Wu-Tang Clan. Colin Dale is a foundational DJ in UK dance music history. In 1985 he co-founded the mighty KISS FM in its pirate radio days. He then went on to launch his Abstrakt Dance radio show which was hugely influential, inviting (often for their first UK appearances) artists including the Underground Resistance crew, Stacey Pullen, Laurent Garnier, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Craig, Derrick May, Richie Hawtin, Aphex Twin, Dave Angel, Carl Cox and many more. Abstrakt Dance was first broadcast in 1993 and both Colin and the show became crucial in techno circles worldwide. He continues to DJ and broadcast regularly, staying true to form over four decades, consistently representing the core elements of experimental dance music evolution. The Jungle Drummer is a force of nature on the club and festival circuit all over the world, with released works on Metalheadz, live performances and DJ shows encompassing a variety of styles and genres. He’s performed with London Elektricity and was an integral part of this groundbreaking show. He has also played with Rodney P and Killa-Kela, breakbeat pioneers Coldcut, Radiohead, NIgel Godrich, Raw Hill Cru, DJ Fresh, Shy FX, A Guy Called Gerald and Faith SFX. Will B is a London based DJ/Producer and owner of Super Culture Music. He’s been circulating the realms of underground club culture for decades, delivering a kaleidoscope of sounds to the floor, from deep underground house to techno-soul, disco, funk and everything in between. He is the originator of influential London club nights Secretsundaze & Need2Know as well as cult label Latenite Productions. He is also the co-founder of the infamous HeadsNFreaks parties. Recent productions appeared on Strictly Jaz Unit (Chicago) |

DetailsA Guy Called Gerald & Archie Venue Klymax Discotheque Lineup A Guy Called Gerald An iconic name in dance music, A Guy Called Gerald stands out for consistent innovation, excellence and refusal to compromise. A key player in kickstarting the UK’s acid house movement – notably with his ’88 classic ‘Voodoo Ray’ and 'Pacific State' (as a founding member of 808 State) – he went on to lay down the blueprint for jungle and drum n bass. Eleven albums and 30 years of independence later, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic dance music touring worldwide bringing his "true school" flavour to a world he sees as overloaded with pop. With decades under his belt, AGCG continues to be in demand at clubs worldwide using a vast patchwork of past, present and future experimentation effortlessly between acid house through abstract tech breaks into dreamscapes of futuristic oscillations. At Glastonbury Festival he was invited to perform on Funktion One’s Ambisonic Experimental system – a six-stack, full-sphere surround sound technique. In 2020 he continues to celebrate 30+ years performing Live in Session at world class festivals such as Vivid – Live at the Sydney Opera House and in small intimate, underground clubs and spaces - always True School. -- Archie Archie’s life-long musical journey has been a head-first dive into a deep pool of kaleidoscopic sounds – and that’s a journey he takes his listeners on, too. Since his early musical introduction via the punk and experimental scenes, Archie has been warmly embracing any and all musical forms that he can find a way to fit into his ever-expanding mental library. A key player among numerous revered musical projects, including the SCRUBS! collective in his hometown of Jakarta, and the Bali-based experimental trio Fraktal, Archie is a force for broadening sonic horizons. |

Details[dweller] The Nile: A Guy Called Gerald + Nkisi / CARISTA + Spurge / Shawn Dub Venue public records Lineup Dweller Electronics, as a festival, occurs annually in the last week of February as a culmination event with respect to Black History Month. This Friday and Saturday, they take over all three rooms of 233 with a formidable lineup spanning genres. A name synonymous with the invention of acid house, jungle, drum ‘n’ bass, and British electronic music as it is today, A Guy Called Gerald’s track record spans over 20 years of releases and collaborations, including projects with Frankie Knuckles, Goldie, Herbie Hancock, David Bowie, Tricky, Roman Fluegel, and The Orb. Now, with live sets regularly flowing anywhere from two to 14 hours, he maintains his top-lauded reputation with effortless cool. Born in the Congo, Melika Ngombe Kolongo began using the moniker Nkisi after moving to London in 2012. Her intense, powerful club tracks are equally influenced by African polyrhythms as they are hardcore techno, where gabber kicks and metallic percussions lie relentlessly experimental. In The Atrium, two artists living on opposite continents but whose labels showcase the weirder sides of electronic music. CARISTA [United Identities] imbues jacking house and techno with electro, hyperpop, hard-hitting percussion, and rave-jazz flourishes. Spurge runs Eto Ano. His musical knowledge is bolstered by a decade in the New York nightlife community, where a chameleonic approach to dance has seen him jump from dancehall to techno to rock and anywhere beyond. Human Head honcho and PR resident Shawn Dub takes a seat UPSTAIRS, where the dynamism is just as far-reaching. - Public Records aims to provide a safer space.
