This August we’re back at one of our favourite dance-floors in the world: Berlin’s OHM. The 250 cap spot adjacent to Tresor is a haven for cutting edge music, and we’ve put together a lineup of vanguard defining acts befitting of such a space.
For the best part of a decade now, Marco Shuttle has been one of the leading names of the hypnotic Italian techno sound. His breakthrough hit was 2011s "The Vox Attitude", a creeping broken-beat number that subtly subverted Ecstasy Passion & Pain's "Touch & Go." His records are dark and abstract, with a cinematic quality that betrays his background in visual arts and fashion. He'll be closing out our OHM party with a DJ set, the perfect way to bring a night of cutting edge sounds to an end.
Tokyo based artist Renick Bell is one of the leading names in the global Algorave movement. Algorave artists harness algorithms to make live and improvised electronic music. They often sit behind a laptop while their keystrokes are broadcast onto screens or walls around them, laying bare the mechanics behind the music. Renick Bell native Texan is the creator of Conductive, one of the key live coding platforms. He twists code into thrilling and abstract club tracks, all live and completely improvised.
Tash LC is one of London's fastest rising young DJs, and one that fully embraces the range of everything the city has to offer. She holds residencies on BBC 1 Xtra and Worldwide FM, playing everything from afro-jazz to gqom, kuduro and other global club sounds. She's just launched her new label, Club Yeke, born from the night of the same name, with the grime tinged Blunt Blades from South Africa's Jumping Back Slash. We couldn't ask for a better person to bring a taste of diasporic club sounds to OHMs rave dungeon.
Resom is a political activist, gender equality campaigner, ://about blank resident and killer DJ. A Berlin mainstay, she's also a resident at storied Welsh festival Freerotation. Taking on so many roles on so many dance floors, she's earned a reputation as one of the most adaptable selectors working today. Its this adaptability, coupled with an uncanny ability to read the room, that makes her the perfect DJ to tie together the disparate threads of our next OHM party.
