11/12/09 Mike Dehnert (Fachwerk- Berlin)

Hi,

After a great performance from US housemeister Levon Vincent, Test welcomes another new school talent, with German techno producer Mike
Dehnert making his Irish debut on Friday, December 11th at the Mezz @Twisted Pepper.

While Mike has been making music since 2000, it's only in the past two years that his releases have won him international acclaim.

Dehnert's own Fachwerk label is the main outlet for his chord-heavy, moody take on dance floor house and techno, but he also released two killer EPs on Clone's new Bassment sublabel this year.

Mike is one of the most in demand new acts in European electronic music, so we're delighted he's performing for Test.

Get down early to check the man with the big techno sound blow the intimate room apart!

Support comes from Kerry's own bad ass, Paudi Ahern and Dublin straight lacer Jay Galligan.

Here is a recent live set from Mr Dehnert to stimulate you aurally:

27th November: Levon Vincent @ The Mezz

Hi all,

Test returns to the Mezz this month with the Irish debut of the irrepressible Levon Vincent.

Although he started releasing music back in 2002, it's only in the past year that this veteran of NY clubs has wooed the house and techno worlds with releases on Novel Sound, Deconstruct, Underground Quality and Ostgut.

Mixing classic US house textures with the tough metallic rhythms of European techno, Levon's work has been championed by the Hardwax store and the Berghain coterie of DJs, including Klock, Galligan, sorry, I meant Dettmann, Steffi and Faki.

Although still based in the States, Levon is a regular visitor to Europe and can regularly be heard rocking clubs like Tape, Berghain and Robert Johnson.

We're delighted that he's playing for Test - get down early on the 27th November to the Mezz in the Twisted Pepper to check this new underground hero out.

Resident Advisor 'big up' the gig here:

Hi all,

Test starts its new residency at the Mezz in Twisted Pepper on Friday,

residents, the guys who play warm up at each gig.

Expect to hear Dan McElligott, Paudi Ahern, Oisin Murphy and Richard
Brophy play everything from deep Detroit electro through slamming,
wonky techno and jacking Chicago trax.

Get down to our new home to hear Test's residents shine in the spotlight!

Its FREE IN if you mail back to us for guestlist or just mention you are going to Test at the door.

Also performing on the same night, !Kaboogie have solid UK dub producer Scan One to make his debut Irish appearance in the basement.

Moving on...

So you can probably guess by the headline that there are some changes in the air - and you're right. Friday September 25th marked the last night for Test at the Underground. The club has hosted some amazing artists at the venue over the past 18 months
(Redshape, Sleeparchive, The Advent, DMX Krew, Dopplereffekt, Decal, Substance, Dan Bell, Regis, Function, Deetron, Convextion, Robert Hood, James Ruskin, Shawn Rudiman, Donato Dozzy, Lerosa),
but it was just not working out at the Underground. The staff were all great to work with, as were all the guests who came from near and far.

Later this month - Friday October 30th, to be precise - Test starts up at its new home in the mezz section of the Twisted Pepper, with a residents' line up. The space is a good bit smaller than the Underground, but has all the right requirements - a small blacked out room with a great sound system and a DJ booth right at eye level - to suit Test's purposes.

Anyway, thanks again to all the staff, guests and, most importantly, punters who came down to the club - hopefully see you at the new home.

25/9/09 Donnacha Costello DJ set (Minimise) & Richard Brophy (Test)

Hi all,

Donnacha Costello makes his long-overdue debut at Test at the Undeground, Dublin, this Friday, September 25th.

With releases on D1, Mille Plateaux and his own Minimise and Look Long imprints, Donnacha is one of Europe''s most acclaimed techno producers.

Responsible for works as diverse as the isolationist ambience of the 'Together is the new Alone' album and the sublime techno that typified his Colorseries records on Minimise, as well as his new, mellower Look Long imprint, Costello brings a fresh and distinctive approach to each release.

Donnacha has a touring schedule that makes Aerosmith look like wusses, so we're honoured to have him playing for us at Test - expect him to perform old, new and unreleased material.

Support comes from Test resident Richard Brophy, who'll be spinning spaced out house and techno with a few cheeky nods to Chicago jack trax. Check out his blog, testindustries.com or cyphermusic.blogspot.com for his mixes and musings.

18/09/09 Shawn Rudiman Live [Matrix, 7th City], Americhord Live [D1], Oisin Murphy [Test]

Hi,

This month we welcome US techno producer Shawn Rudiman to Test.

Rudiman’s entrance to electronic music started at the end of the 80s through his involvement in the ebm/industrial act THD (Total Harmonic Distortion).

By the mid-90s however he was tired of body music and began making techno. Since then, he has released a series of stripped back, club-friendly interpretations of Detroit techno on Dan Bell’s 7th City as well as Dust Science, Matrix and his own Technoir Audio label.

A regular visitor to Ireland over the years, we’re looking forward to him rocking the Underground with one of his 100% live shows.

Support comes from Dublin producer Americhord aka Maura O’Boyle. With releases on D1 and Diaspora, we’re looking forward to hearing Maura’s distinctive take on electro and techno at Test for the first time.

24/7/09 Conan O Donnell, Michael Gaffney & Dan Mc Elligott

Test welcomes back an old friend/guest this Friday , Conan O Donnell. Conan was one of the first people to grace the 1's unt 2's back in the day with his high flying quick chopping and cutting techno sets. After making his debut at Test he went onto many great things supporting the likes of Deetron, Si Begg and Distance. Expect to here a nonchalant style of mixing featuring the best of dub step wobble with lashings of electro and techno.

Support comes straight outta da Braytrix, in the form of Michael Gaffney. For years and years there have been fabled stories of this man and his amazing record collection and skills to match. In a true drexciyan style, Michael sets are as rare as a sighting of Kaiser Söze at the Bray Aquarium. Michael will be spinning out some killer robot electro from the 313 and beyond.

10/7/09 O/V/R aka Regis & James Ruskin live (Tresor/Blueprint)

Hi all,

Test welcomes O/V/R, techno's latest super group, to the Underground this month for their debut Irish gig.

Consisting of Blueprint boss James Ruskin and Regis aka Karl O'Connor of Downwards/Sandwell District fame, the collaboration follows the dissolution of the Regis & Surgeon partnership last year.

To date, O/V/R have only put out one single, the dense, panning 'Interior' on Blueprint as well as a remix of Ruskin's 'Lahaine'.

However, given that they've both been making cutting edge techno for the past 15 years and the praise their two decks and two laptop shows have already received, expect to hear hard, minimalist music of the highest quality.

Support comes from EC's Giles Armstrong, armed with the best deep and dubby techno that the blogs, sorry, Beatport have to offer.

3/7/09 DELSIN 2.0 TOUR: Redshape live & Vince Watson

Hi all,

Test packs an overnight bag on the 3 July and hogs the cheap seats for a short journey to the Button Factory, where we’re hosting a one-off bash at in association with Nightflight..

Flying in for the show and making his third appearance for Test is mysterious German producer Redshape.

With his debut album due this year and two excellent new singles out on Present and Delsin - this show is part of Delsin’s European tour - the redshaped one’s live set will focus on killer deep Detroit techno and full blooded Chicago jack.

He’s joined by Scottish techno DJ/producer Vince Watson on warm up duties.

Watson, who also features on Delsin’s new compilation, has put out deep techno classics like ‘Mystical Rhythm’, ‘Moments in Time’ and ‘Aurelon’ on labels like Alola, Ibadan, Bio, Rotation and Planet E.

Make sure to make an early reservation for this journey to techno’s outer limits.

Test: we have lift off!

DMX Krew live (Breakin london), Defekt (Monotone) & Skkatter (Dr. Pongs)

Hi all,

Test body pops its way into June with a long-awaited re-appearance from DMX Krew.

The alias for UK DJ/producer Ed Upton, DMX Krew has been responsible for a wide range of electronic music since the mid 90s.

From the synth pop leanings of releases on Gigolos and White Leather, the booty-oriented MPC Trax records and the Drexciyan ‘Collapse of the Wave Function’ series on Rephlex, Ed’s productions never fail to impress and entertain.

Bringing all these elements together for his club shows, Ed’s mic antics complete the unique DMX Krew live experience.

When DMX Krew played at Test last year the club was rammed from early on, so get down early to avoid disappointment.

http://www.dmxkrew.com/

Support comes from DeFekt and Skkatter.

The Wicklow raised Defekt has been a man/robot about electro town for some time. Soon to have a release on the the Larry Mc Cormicks Miami based Monotone label, this Irish prodecer is certainly one to be watched. Check out the tunes here:

24/4/09 ROBERT HOOD (M-Plant - USA), 'Deep Concentration' Irish tour - Dublin

Hi all,

Test returns in April with a highly-anticipated appearance from the godlike Rob Hood.

Since the early 90s, the Detroit native has been pushing the boundaries of dance floor techno.

The architect of minimalism, Hood's 90s releases like 'Minimal Nation', 'Internal Empire' and 'Nighttime World' are classic works,joining the dots between searing, visceral rhythms, hypnotic repetition and jazz-infused musicality.

Fast forward 15 years and Hood's impact on electronic music is as strong as ever.

Having inspired a new generation of mnml music makers (haircut optional), the Hoodmusic series as well as the dizzying ferocity of his Fabric mix keep the former UR operative at the forefront of cutting edge techno.

We're honoured that he has agreed to play Test - expect Hood to tear the club a new exit hole.

Support comes from the razor sharp detroit techno sounds of Oisin Murphy and Jay Galligan.

There shall be 100 signed copies of a limited rare mix cd constructed by the master builder himself, Robert Hood, at Test. The CD's are €11 and presale orders will be taken, just email Testpromotion@gmail.com with the subject line, 'HOOD CD' and your details.

27/3/09 CONVEXTION live (Downlow, Frustrated Funk - USA), Barry Donovan (Lunar Disco), Louis Skully

Hi everyone,

We welcome a very special guest to Test on Friday, March 27th as
revered US producer Convextion makes his Irish debut.

Convextion, real name Gerard Hanson, hails from Dallas, Texas, but his
intricately woven electro and techno sounds like it came from Detroit
than the good ole southern state, with some Basic Channel/Chain
Reaction influences thrown in for good measure.

Working as Convextion or ERP, Hanson has been releasing music since
1995, but has put out a small but inspired body of work for Matrix,
Down Low, AW and Frustrated Funk.

The enigmatic producer's back catalogue includes his 2006 debut album,
'Convextion', a benchmark techno release - and his recent ERP remixes
of Hardfloor even lent the German acid nutters a sense of gravitas.

An infrequent visitor to Europe, this booking has been a long time
coming and has involved more detailed negotiations than the pension
levy talks, but we're excited and delighted to be host Convextion's
first live show in Ireland. We hope you enjoy the show as much as we
will.

Support comes from the interstellar robot forces of Lunar disko's Barry Donovan and Dublin bus disko's Louis Scully.

27/2/09 The Advent live (Drumcode-Portugal), Rory St. John (Man Trap) & Dan Mc Elligott (Test)

Hi everyone,

Friday February 23rd sees the highly-anticipated return of The Advent
aka Cisco Ferreira to Test.

One of electronic music's most inspired producers and nicest geezers,
Cisco has been around since techno's zero hour.

He worked with CJ Bolland on the Belgian producer's 'The 4th Sign'
and, together with former partner Colin McBean released 'Elements of
Life', a surefire classic that still sound fresh 15 years later.

Now based in Portugal, Cisco has continued to fly the flag for killer
electro and hard-edged techno with releases on Tresor, Drumcode and
his own Kombination Research label.

The last time he played for us, at our old haunt, The Cavern, his
bodypopping, jack-tracking live set reduced the capacity crowd to a
sweaty mush.

Don't miss this chance to catch a true techno player in action.

Support comes from Rory St. John and Dan Mc Elligott.

Rory is no stranger to the Dublin techno scene, appearing on many techno line up going back as far as the 'Switch' days. Since he turned his attentions away from DJing and more towards producing electronic music, Rory has gone from strength to strength. His first release on Irish based Mantrap records has received kudos from across Europe and has been featured in many of Dave Clarkes sets. Expect some hard looping techno complimented with some deeper and funky sounds.

Dan Mc Elligott will be starting off the night with blend of uber choons.

Test sets vol 2 : Dan McElligott - Black Box Testing

Back in 2005, when Test was a very small club based in the small bunker like bar of Viva on South William street, a young chap who goes by the name of Dan Mc Elligott horsed a CD in my face and ordered me to listen to it. As it would turn out this mix CD lead to him playing at his first gig at Test and from there he has never looked back. Over the years he has earned a lengthy residency with the premium techno club in Dublin such as Electric city and Test. Dan is no stranger to bringing the buzz to the floor and has meandered his way through various high powered support slots, supporting the likes of Tractile, Marc Houle, Magda, Sleeparchive, Redshape, Efdemin, Phonic, Cassy, Paco Osuna & Donnacha Costello.
Dan will be whackin out the tunes at Test in Febuary playing supporting to the Advent.

DEETRON (Music man), PAUDI AHERN (Test) & RICHARD BROPHY (Test)

Hi everyone,

Test makes its first appearance in 2009 with a highly anticipated gig
from Swiss DJ Deetron on Friday January 23rd at the Underground,
Dublin.

Known to his nearest and dearest as Sami Geiser, this Alpine techno
rocket has been throwing his weight and considerable talent behind the
decks since the mid 90s and is one of Europe's most talented DJs.

While he moved many mountains with his fresh take on loopy/tribal
techno at the start of this decade - check 'Alien Entertainment',
'Vertigo' and 'Muchachos Ritmicos' - for labels like Music Man, SLS,
Hardgroove and Rotation, it's behind the decks that Deetron really
impresses.

His 2002 'In The Mix' selection for Music Man united European and US
techno and house new and old in a uniquely frenetic style, bearing
more 18-carat treasures than a Zurich bank vault, while his latest mix
for Fuse provides an equally compelling house/techno tracklisting and
three-deck mixing that's smoother than virgin snow.

Sami has diversified in recent years, releasing an artist album,
'Twisted', for Music Man and even working with vocalists on tracks
like 'Let's Get Over It', but we're looking forward to him rocking
down the house in his inimitable way.

Test's own Deetron lookalike Richard Brophy and Paudi Ahern start the
Swiss roll with some Chicago, Dutch and Detroit sounds early on.
