Electric Deluxe Presents… Jeff Mills, Echologist, Sandwell District, Speedy J
Friday 4-2-2011

Birthdays. You need to celebrate them in style. That’s why Jeff Mills who will drop by on the 10th anniversary of Electric Deluxe Presents in the Amsterdam Melkweg. The rest of the line up is equally promising. What to think of Sandwell District, Echologist and regular host Speedy J?

“You can make sure we will give Mills a warm welcome”, DJ and Electric Deluxe-host Speedy J confirms. The Dutchman is very pleased with the inclusion of the Detroit pioneer of techno, who announced to shake the Melkweg foundations with a dark futuristic techno set. Together with Carl Craig, Jeff Mills is one of the few producers from the Motorcity who never ceased renewing himself. Last spring he released the worlds first hybrid CD, playable in both a CD-player and on a turntable. But Mills is best known for his energetic DJ-sets. By many Mills is seen as one of the best Techno DJ’s in the world.

Sandwell District is another name which should be written in capitals when talking techno. The groundbreaking singles on their Berlin based label consistently found their way into DJ cases of countless international DJs. Besides that, Regis and Function (the men behind Sandwell District) always make an impression behind their mixing desks. During EDP#10 the duo will play a hybrid set of relentless techno.

Brendon Moeller was born in South Africa but live in New York nowadays. He uses various monickers, Echologist being one of the more interesting. Expect techno soaked in dub, a bit along the lines of Rhythm & Sound, Pole and Deepspace presents Echochord. Bottomless basslines, perpetual echoes, and a kick drum that will punch you in the stomach when you least expect it. “We will do a jam session in De Melkweg”, Speedy J reveals. “This winter I will release a single by Brendon on my label Electric Deluxe. There is a lot of common ground between our recent records.”

The line up is completed by Joey Daniel from Rotterdam and the Amsterdam-based underground DJ Jeff Rushin. The latter is affiliated with the On & On parties in the Amsterdam docklands. Daniel has been a steady and reliable force since the early days of Electric Deluxe Presents. A DJ who understands perfectly how to warm up a crowd for a great party.
