Closer is a new event 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… and the setting? We’re talking a warehouse space somewhere in Shoreditch, Funktion 1 sound and one hell of a party from midnight to morning.

 

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 in one room where the lights are low, the atmosphere is intense and you can see the whites of the DJs’ eyes!

 

Closer aims to bring back that special vibe. The inaugural session and first in a series of very special parties takes place on Friday, April 20th with Luke Slater at the helm. A perfect choice he is too and as well as being one of the true geniuses of the techno scene, the chances to hear him play in London are few and far between. Joining him will be a cast of London’s finest including Colin Dale, Jon Rundell and Steve Strawberry:-

 

Luke Slater: musical and technological innovator, and man of many guises – Planetary Assault Systems, Clementine, Morganistic and the 7th Plain to name a few. Both as a DJ and a producer, Luke Slater has always been at the forefront of redefining the techno blueprint winning support from across the electronic music spectrum. Recent projects have included a ‘Fabric’ mix CD and the ‘Head Converter” EP, the Mote-Evolver independent online music distribution portal and a live DJ set on the Second Life internet-based virtual world. Combine that with a packed DJ and production schedule, and you have a true maverick with 15 years of dancefloor vision behind him.

 

Colin Dale: London legend and one of the most respected names around, Colin Dale has always stood by his musical guns. From his beginnings as a resident at the Knowledge night with Colin Faver through to his pioneering Kiss FM radio show and inspirational compilations like ‘Abstract Funk Theory’ and Abstrakt Dance label, this is a man who has techno running through his veins infused with his own special blend of machine funk.

 

Jon Rundell: label manager of Carl Cox’s Intec Records imprint and something of a wizard behind the decks, 2007 looks like being the year when Jon Rundell really comes into his own. Currently on tour with Carl Cox in Australia, his recent ‘Dirty Disco’ EP has proved he’s more than cut his teeth as a producer too.

 

Steve Strawberry: coming up from the London underground and the man behind the excellent Tilted Disco parties, Steve Strawberry is a man you’ll be hearing a lot more over the coming months because of his incendiary turntable skills. Steve and Colin Dale will be playing back-to-back tonight and you can expect all kind of action as they throw three decks and an 808 drum machine into the mix. These guys have been working together in the studio too so expect to hear a few exclusive new tracks tonight.

 

Closer is keen to support new talent also and getting the party started right will be Matt Panik playing back-to-back with Stakker and Dimitry playing back-to-back with Mutant from the Tuned and Injury Time crews respectively.

 

The line-up is not the only the thing that’s out of the ordinary about Closer – the location is pretty damn special too. Expect one arch of music in a warehouse location somewhere in Shoreditch, award winning Funktion 1 sound with extra Funktion 1 bass bins, and the same production standards to be found at parties like ISSST and SLAANG (all three are Politburo events.) The location will be revealed online at www.myspace.com/politburoevents seven days before the event.

 

Closer is the techno party the London faithful has been crying out for – unrestricted, unrestrained and like no other. This is your chance to get Closer with Luke Slater – accept no substitute, this is for one night only.

It’s getting Closer…

 

With just over a week to go until the launch of Closer, the excitement is building across London. Friday, April 20th is the date in question and the capital has seen nothing quite like Closer in a long while – techno in its purest, rawest sense delivered by its finest practitioners up close and personal – so there’s little wonder the buzz is getting pretty intense around town.

 

The exact location will be revealed seven days before the night online at www.myspace.com/politburoevents and other key websites but, suffice to say, it’s a warehouse space somewhere in the heart of Shoreditch. The venue has already gained a well deserved reputation as one of the hottest underground locations around with Mulletover, ISSST, SLAANG and Vitalik – some of the coolest parties around, in fact – holding successful events there. Now it’s the turn of Closer who’ll be presenting the first in a series of occasional parties there.

 

What’s more and in keeping with the Closer concept, we’ll be stripping the venue right back to one arch to create a unique and intimate atmosphere in which to hear some of the finest techno DJs around. Throw award winning Funktion One sound with extra Funktion One bass bins into the equation and the stage is properly set for a truly special party from midnight to morning.

 

Headlining the inaugural Closer will be Luke Slater and this will be a very rare opportunity to hear this musical and technological innovator, and man of many guises outside of the major clubs and festival circuit. We’re expecting something very special from a man with 15 years of dancefloor vision behind him. Joining Luke will be London legend Colin Dale, Jon Rundell from Intec Records, Steve Strawberry, the man behind the excellent Tilted Disco parties and young guns from the Tuned and Injury Time crews respectively.

 

Closer is the techno party the London faithful has been crying out for – unrestricted, unrestrained and like no other. This is your chance to get Closer with Luke Slater – accept no substitute, this is for one night only.
