With four events under its belt, Closer has proved itself to be the techno party London has been crying out for using warehouse spaces and guests like Luke Slater, James Ruskin, Kevin Saunderson, Rolando, Ben Sims, Colin Dale, Mark Williams and Fabrice Lig alongside resident Steve Strawberry and many young London techno DJs coming up from the underground. Closer is designed to do exactly what it says on the tin. It’s about techno in its purest, rawest sense – unrestricted, unrestrained – delivered by its finest practitioners up close and personal. Techno in its many shapes and guises has become the leading international language of the dancefloor from beach festivals in Brazil to the underground sound of Europe’s coolest clubs. The scene’s leading DJs are in such demand on the global circuit that we barely get to see them here in the UK and that’s usually confined to the bigger clubs and festivals. All well and good, of course, but there’s nothing quite like dancing to techno when the lights are low, the atmosphere is intense and you can see the whites of the DJs’ eyes! Out of this desire for a different kind of party Closer was born and it has proved a triumph. With just about every man and his dog claiming to play techno these days, the case for Closer has never been stronger and only the world’s very best DJs are invited to play – the true keepers of the techno flame. Quite simply, original techno music. Saturday, August 16th will see Closer step out of the warehouses and into a dedicated club space as we return to Hidden in Vauxhall, the scene of an earlier party where council refused a license for a warehouse party and a new location had to be found at the last minute. Kevin Saunderson was in the house that night and tore the place apart, so you can expect more of the same with DJ 3000 and James Ruskin at the controls. The intimate main room at Hidden worked a treat and this time around additional Opus sound will be brought in especially on the night to enhance the experience further. Closer will also be operating continental opening hours starting at midnight and running through till 8am to suit the late night culture that has become such a feature of London’s club scene. DJ 3000 and James Ruskin will be joined by Chris Finke and Steve Strawberry playing back-to-back while London techno party Hello Techno My Old Friend complete the line-up in the main room. Over in the bar area, meanwhile, there’ll be an alternative soundtrack of house, breaks and electro proved by Amplitude (Little Jo, Forecast & Jones, On A Break and Randy Quan) and HowCleanIsYourHouse (Tom Keys, Dave Doughty, Frenchie and Richard Belsom.) DJ 3000: Born and raised in the Detroit but of Albanian descent, Franki Juncaj – the man they called DJ 3000 – is one of the most respected figures on the techno scene. He cut his teeth with Underground Resistance before becoming a prolific producer on labels like Motech Records and Submerge Recordings. Now based in The Netherlands, he’ll be making a rare UK appearance at Closer. James Ruskin: a stalwart of the UK scene and one of techno’s finest ambassadors, James Ruskin has been making music since 1997. As well as releases on his own Blueprint and Coda imprints, he is an integral part of the Tresor organisation, both as a producer and as a DJ. The label will be releasing his fourth artist album, ‘The Dash’, at the end of 2007 and he has already played at the club in Berlin since it reopened. It’s great to have him back as his closing set at Closer NYE was the stuff of legends. Chris Finke: another respected name from the UK scene, Chris Finke was also involved in the Split parties with Ben Sims and has played all over the world as well as producing for labels like Flux Recordings and Split Music. Steve Strawberry: coming up from the London underground and the man behind the excellent Tilted Disco, Steve Strawberry is a man you’ll be hearing a lot more of over the coming months with his incendiary turntable skills. He’s also the Closer resident and took Glastonbury by storm with his new project multimedia project, ‘The House’. There will also be additional visuals on the night while Hidden also includes an excellent sheltered outdoor smoking area. What’s more, limited early bird tickets are available at only £8 + b/f and look out for some exclusive free downloads too. Closer is the techno party of choice for London’s faithful has been crying out for – unrestricted, unrestrained and like no other. This is your chance to get Closer with DJ 3000 and James Ruskin – accept no substitute, this is for one night only. Next stop, Friday, November 21st when something very special is being planned.

So Party Proactive…..? After the simply awesome 4th Birthdayshow at the SeOne the question on everyone’s lips is... What’s next here at the Party Proactive HQ!? As the weeks have passed us by we have had more and more emails and calls asking us when we are going to finally announce the next Party Proactive event. That time is drawing ever closer...

We are currently in talks with a selection of very surprising locations and once we have crossed all the T’s and dotted all the i’s we will reveal the destination for the next chapter in our wonderful adventure! It maybe soon or it maybe a bit of a wait but it could certainly be a winter wonderland in the most magical of places and who knows it might even take place on a frosty day… So, the moral of this story is the best comes to those who wait!

[c] Closer – techno as it was meant to be heard... @ A Secret Warehouse Location, E1 Central London Friday 11th April // 2200 - 0530 Rolando a.k.a. The Aztec Mystic (Underground Resistance /DETROIT) Fabrice Lig (F-Communications / BELGIUM) Steve Strawberry (Closer / Tilted Disco) Paula Coughlan (Tilted Disco) MiMo & R U Dirty? DJs: Filth & Splendour, Williams & Dubois, Ms. Mortimer, Chris Jones, Plastic Disco Location to be revealed shortly before event Early bird tickets £9 + b/f on sale now / standard tickets £12 + b/f Ticketweb: 08700 600 100 / http://www.ticketweb.co.uk Clubtickets: 0870 246 1840 / http://www.clubtickets.com ViewTickets: http://www.viewtickets.co.uk After giving the gritty warehouse venue Halo a more than fitting set off at its sold-out New Year’s Eve event, Closer returns for its first party of 2008. Bringing London the classic, traditional sound of techno music that it is all too often lacking, the first year of Closer parties saw the likes of Kevin Saunderson, Luke Slater, James Ruskin, Colin Dale and Carl Cox’s right-hand-man Jon Rundell tear it up in some of London’s finest underground spaces – firmly planting it on the map of the capital’s electronic music scene. Our headliner for this 2008 debut is one of the most prolific and acclaimed members of the legendary Underground Resistance organisation – a body founded in the early ‘90s by Jeff Mills and “Mad” Mike Banks that combined a world-beating record label and production team with political and social activism aims. Rolando (also known as The Aztec Mystic and a founding, now ex-member of Los Hermanos) first came to the attention of the dance music community in 1999, when he released his stunning, classic anthem ‘Jaguar’ – an inspired, soulful, melodic piece of techno music that’s still being played and remixed by all and sundry in 2008. The sublime track was ripped off note-for-note by Sony BMG, and although he received no compensation for their ruthless plagiarism, the exposure helped to catapult Rolando to worldwide fame. As a DJ he is highly skilled and accomplished – combining the rhythms of his Latin-American musical upbringing and of Detroit techno with the grooves of house music, all brought to life by his quick, tight mixing style. This appearance at Closer is one of only a handful of his confirmed DJ gigs worldwide over the next few months – and is guaranteed to be both an education and dancefloor riot. Belgian talent Fabrice Lig is considered by his peers and techno fans around the globe as a world class producer. He is well known for his particularly funky use of Roland’s SH101 analog synth, and for his particularly emotional and personal melodies and harmonies which have seen him release tracks of scene-leading labels like KMS, F-Communications, 7th City Records and Playhouse Records. His considerable talents have seen him play at some of the world’s most prestigious clubs and festivals – from Fabric in London to Sonar in Barcelona, to Sub Club in Glasgow, to The Montreux Jazz Festival, to The Fuse-In Festival in Detroit (where his set was voted as the best of the entire festival). He has worked with legends of electronic music like Laurent Garnier and Jean Michel Jarre, and is a prestigious addition to the line-up. Joining these two international guests will be our acclaimed resident Steve Strawberry, and his fellow Tilted Disco tunesmith Paul Coughlan, with more than ample support from MiMo & R U Dirty?’s formidable teams of resident DJs. Expect to here the full spectrum of techno music and tougher, underground house over the course of the night and across the 2 rooms. http://www.myspace.com/partycloser Paul Jack 07814 179946 / paul@proactive-records.co.uk *Web links* DJ Rolando - http://www.myspace.com/crossroads1 Fabrice Lig - http://www.fabricelig.com Steve Strawberry - http://www.myspace.com/stevestrawberry [/c]

CALL TICKETWEB: 08700600100 https://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb...mp;event=252072 PAYING GUEST LIST BRAINLESS66@HOTMAIL.COM INTERVIEW WITH PSY TRANCE HEADLINER - DALI! For DALI, the top female psy trance act in the World, you might be surprised to hear her ideal lineup would include Linkin Park, Sinead O’Connor, Tory Amos and Massive Attack. But when you hear her LIVE performances, as you will at Party Proactive’s fourth birthday, it becomes abundantly clear what she stands for musically – powerful, melodic and emotive tracks woven together by her own ranging vocals. >From her first forays into DJing in 2001, Dali’s original Psytrance productions and soul lifting performances have lead to her headlining festivals across the globe from Japan, Mexico, Brazil, the UK and her native Israel. Introduced to Eyal Yankovich, owner of the massive HOMmega Productions, when she was 26, and taken on as the only female on its all male rosta, Dali’s first album, Hectic, blew away preconceived Psytrance perceptions with its tough guitar riffs and solid rolling bass lines. http://www.dontstayin.com/uk/london/seone/...08/article-7530
