SAT. 28th MAY SECRET PARTY: MOODYMANN + JOY ORBISON + PHOTOMACHINE




BLACK ATLANTIC present a show veiled in more secrecy than a London shoot for the Dark Knight Rises. All we can confirm from their Facebook is that it's somewhere 'east.'

Advance tickets can be grabbed for a tenner from here.

Here's press for a stellar line up that includes:

MOODYMANN



"Arguably one of the most important figures within the Detroit techno scene is cult producer / performer Moodymann aka Kenny Dixon Jnr. Drawing heavily on jazz, soul, disco and funk, his unique form of house music recycles the sounds of the ‘black atlantic’ for a new generation. He is one of the four members of the Three Chairs (along with Rick Wilhite, Theo Parrish and Marcellus Pittman), helped DJ Stingray bring his debut Urban Tribe long player to fruition and has delivered epic remixes for both Innerzone Orchestra and vocalist Norma Jean Bell.

A reclusive figure during daylight hours, KDJ comes into his own at night and is well known for his charismatic performances - from his one off live shows to his infamous DJ sets. He is an outspoken supporter of the vinyl movement and his own releases are often hard to find gems themselves, with limited runs of his work on both his KDJ and Mahogani Music imprints, as well as the likes of Carl Craig’s Planet E."

JOY ORBISON


"Meanwhile, Doldrums boss Joy Orbison continues to push things forward, as his sound moves from 2-step to deep house, developing more of an affinity with the sounds coming from Detroit, Chicago, New York and Berlin, than the UK. His limited release schedule and London club appearances have only intensified the demand for the young producer, with talk of another twelve via his own label in the next few months, as well as recent work for Scuba’s Hotflush Recordings and, if the rumours are true, Loefah’s Swamp 81."

and PHOTOMACHINE


"PhOtOmachine, a faceless Brixton resident who puts square pegs in round holes. Embracing the rawness of Techno with the distinctive bounce of UK club music. Never one to be restrained by drum pattern or tempo, since his debut release Technicolour, PhOtOmachine has been building a reputation as a DJ and producer for the serious music lover and he's whipped up this mix exclusively for Black Atlantic ahead of the show"
