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.

HYDRAULIX IS BACK FOR ANOTHER BIRTHDAY MARATHON EVENT AT FOLD
For anyone who has been to a Hydraulix event you wil know that we consistently try to push the boundaries of our beloved underground techno scene
Our mission is to combine our style with the club scene and create line ups that are different and inspiring, to try to bring different sides of the techno spectrum together.
Hydraulix has been running since 2010. Always in October to celebrate another year in techno for label boss D.A.V.E. The Drummer and Hydraulix records.
Our goal has always remained the same, good music, good vibes, underground line ups featuring artists from the label with some great special guests
To push the sound as far as we can.
This time we think we really excelled ourselves with a stellar line up of some of todays hottest talent combined with some outright legends of the scene.
Join us for a 2 room 12 hour party at London’s best small venue Fold.

Huge welcome to our special guests:

SLAM
(6 decks B2B)
(Soma)
The legendary SLAM from Glasgow pretty much kick started the UK techno scene with their classic “Positive Education” on their own SOMA imprint. Slam were also responsible for releasing the first Daft Punk 12” to an unsuspecting world. Thomas Bangalter slept on their sofa in the early days, it doesn’t get much more legendary than that.
We are absolutely over the moon that we managed to convince them to come and play for us. SLAM have had a steady stream of top notch releases on Soma, with support from DJs from all genres and age groups from their own dark dystopian techno to deeper more hypnotic tech, Slam bring their unique techno style to Hydraulix and to Fold for the first time.
We’ve been huge fans of Slam since their beginning and it’s an honour to have the boys from Glasgow play a 2 hour set for us.
//////////
ANNÉ
(Hardgroove/Symbolism , Soma)
Anné is making some incredible techno records at the moment. Killing dance floors with a super technical 4 deck DJ set. With releases on Ben Sims’ Hardgroove imprint as well as Slam’s Soma label.
Her tough tribal sound has been a permanent fixture in our DJ sets we can’t wait for her to unleash her 4 deck skills on the infamous Fold sound system.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
D.A.V.E. THE DRUMMER vs CHRIS LIBERATOR
( 3 hours 4 decks )
Finishing what we started for the Cluster 100 party, we thought it was about time we revamped our 4 deck set for a special Hydraulix style 4 decks back to back.
Expect 3 hours of rumbling techno and driving acid on both vinyl and digital some old some new the plus odd classic.
////////////////////////////
RACHEL RACKITT
Rachel needs no introduction, head honcho of Loud By Design Booking agency and singlehandedly dealing with booking many of Londons top acid techno DJs all over the world, Rachel has been a leading light on the scene for many years, now living in Portugal she’s be bringing her acidic old school flavoured vinyl DJ set to Fold for the first time.
////////////////
ACERBIC ( Exclusive! )
Otherwise known as Chicagoloop. Anthony Wilson has wound the clock back a bit and developed a new sound with a new name, the style is fast and ravey, with some old school flavours and top notch production as we have always come to expect from his previous incarnations. This is his first DJ set under his new guise. We already have a few tracks scheduled for release on Hydraulix so this is a perfect opportunity to bring Ant over and get him on the decks for a premier of this new style.
/////////////
BALROG
Owner of Khazad records, Rogue Puppet events and producer of many banging percussive techno tunes. With huge releases under his belt on Hydraulix, Soma and many more Balrog will be with us for a special set of hard fast heavy loop driven techno.
///////////////////
CINQUEDEA
Deborah Grattan aka Cinquedea has been busy recently, remixes and tracks are beginning to flow from her studio in Dublin Ireland and now she’s kicking off a DJ career that is surely going to end in global success.
We are very excited to have her here to play her hard techno/industrial sound for us.
//////////////////
LAU.TASTIC
Spanish DJ and producer Lau.tastic has a sound that is dominated by hard kicks and industrial hardcore techno vibes. She’s been playing for some of London’s top underground nights and after watching her play a few months back we had to invite her to Hydraulix.

A firm favourite with Hydraulix records, Mike Molokhia AKA Skirra has produced somme of the labels best selling tracks and played for us several times, rocking out the lift area at the last Hydraulix all nighter and playing with us on the Scrapyard stage at Boomtown last year. Skirra’s sound is uncompromising. Dark heavy beats laden with industrial soundscapes and heavy kicks, we are so glad to have him back on the decks for us once again!!

Michaela runs Birminghams premier underground techno event “Collide” and we have worked together several times in the past.
Michaela’s sets are pretty legendary, she is always great on the decks playing hard techno in a dee vein with great choices of tracks and slick mixing skills. Michaela is an absolute must for any self respecting underground techno event.

JAY TOMMY
Back for more wonderful vibrations, the young lad from the north Jay Tommy has played for us twice and every time he has been incredible. he runs his own imprint Tommy Trax and has recently had a storming release on Hydraulix.

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.
