majesticnl Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Thursday APRIL 21st we will be...In Your System!withSpeedy J LIVE! Rotterdam, HollandCollabs, Mute, Plus 8 Recordswww.speedyj.com www.mute.comRotterdam's Speedy J has had a production career with more twists andturns than an electric eel. From providing the beats and scratches fora local hip hop outfit in the late '80s (where the name 'Speedy J'stuck) to becoming a member of techno's hierarchy through gilt-edgeddancefloor releases on Richie Hawtin's and John Acquaviva's Plus 8 andWarp to ripping the rule book to pieces via his jigsaw sound puzzles onNovamute and subsequently returning to the floor once more for 2002's'Loudboxer' opus and current 'Collabs' (2004) 12" co-productions, hehas steadfastly furrowed his own path of sonic exploration. Currently,Mr. J returned to the more club-friendly rhythmic patterns of technoproducing work that could more comfortably sit within a DJ set (well,as comfortable as a blistering Speedy J techno track can be!) From hissuperlative remix work to his current 'Collabs' series of dancefloor EPco-productions with the likes of Adam Beyer, Literon (Gert-Jan Bijl)and Chris Liebing, Speedy J refuses to stay still. With a long historyof live performance through his days playing the Megadog tours,European festivals and the international club circuit it is somewhatironic that for a man who gained his name for his lightening prowessbehind the decks, as a techno artist Speedy J only plays live. But whata live set. Blistering towers of industrial noise, alien frequenciesstrafing the airwaves and a twisted funk all of its own. Little wonderhe's Rotterdam's most requested sound export.Also playingTony Rohr - Live - NYCSide Four, Hidden Agenda, Bluelinewww.bluebookings.comGabriel PalomoZuvuya Recordings, 773 Tekno, Blueline www.zuvuyarecordings.comFrankie Vega Blueline, Hot Jams Chicagowww.bluelinetechno.comAvex Axiom Majestic Nightlife, Zuvuya Recordings, Chicagowww.majesticnightlife.comSteve ChristianMajestic Nightlife, Chicagowww.majesticnightlife.comSMART BAR 3730 N Clark StreetSpecial Re enforced Function One sound system...
