Acid / Techno DJ / Producer Focus: D.A.V.E. The Drummer

If you are into the harder end of Techno Music, you may have already come across one of D.A.V.E. The Drummer’s records.
Hailing from the London illegal warehouse party scene that exploded in the 90’s, DJ & producer D.A.V.E. The Drummer started the techno label Hydraulix as an output for his own production ideas. The label intended to bridge the gap between the Acid Techno of his previous productions and a darker form of techno that D.A.V.E. was experimenting with in the studio.
Hydraulix made some big waves in the Hard Techno scene throughout the 2000’s and is still going strong with many of the new releases hitting the top spots in the Beatport Hard Techno Charts.
Tracks from Hydraulix have found their way into the playlists of some of the worlds top DJs as well as keeping a huge following of underground Techno DJs across the globe.
D.A.V.E’s recent music reflects a shift toward a darker stripped back techno sound and the label is still at the forefront of the techno scene winning respect from many DJs and taking on board fresh young artists as well as releasing tracks by seasoned Hydraulix regulars.
Still a hard working DJ and Producer, D.A.V.E. The Drummer is responsible for remixes and productions for many great techno labels including Stay Up Forever, Cluster Smitten, Routemaster, Pounding Grooves, Fine Audio, Eukatech, Noom, Reklusive, Naked Lunch, Phobiq, Elektrax, Resiliant, Refined Format, Techburst and of course Hydraulix, Apex Recordings and Mutate To Survive.

Most of the DJs are residents either of the label or of the old parties and everyone has gone forward to do amazing work within the techno scene since the last time we were together under the Hydraulix Parties banner.
Chicago Loop has been burning a trail of amazing remixes and original tracks across some of techno leading underground labels such as Phobiq, Respect & Funk n Deep.
Marcello Perri has been living in Columbia and banging out track and remixes for labels such as Hydraulix, Ushuaia & Naked Lunch. We are very happy to have him with us for this party before he flies home after his summer London break.
Jethro AKA Thermobee is the voice of the airwaves with his long running monthly radio show “Live From Hackney” on techno FM, which also sees the rest of our DJ line up often pitching in as resident DJs.
D.A.V.E. of course has been busying himself with the label and this party plus relaunching his old labels, Apex and Mutate To Survive while making his own brand of heavy techno in the studio
Last but by no means least the man of the match Phutek has come down to join us bringing with him all manner of new tracks and white hot bootlegs. If you don’t know him already Phutek is an incredible producer with some huge tracks on many top labels including Intec and his own Layer 909 imprint. As part of Carl Cox’s inner circle he has already started to rise through the ranks with some incredible remixes of timeless tracks that have been pushed by the big man himself to huge audiences word wide. It is only a matter of time until Phutek blows up.
So there it is, a lovely intimate venue, 5 top techno DJs, some great beer, alll your mates and lot’s of good good vibrations altogether to join I the celebration of music and life.
Join us on Sept 28th
