Eyjafjallajökull, Eyjafjallajökull, Eyjafjallajökull

Well looks like the DAA got the announcement out before we did at the
Test Bunker. Yes indeed, it's with great disappointment tonight to
inform you that due to Eyjafjallajökull excitement , Sandwell District
won't be able to make it to Dublin tonight. But it's not like us to
let something as small as a volcano to stop us from throwing a party.
Tonight we got an all Irish line up that hotter than a number 2 (and
17) in Skógar local Indian.

Basement
Sunil Sharpe (Mantrap, All-City)
Fran Hartnett (Mantrap)
Jay Galligan (Test)

Stage
Dark Room notes

In our eyes, for all local night it doesn't get much better than that.

See you later... bring a towel

Sandwell District

Yo Yo,

Saturday April 17th sees one of the world's greatest techno labels grace our humble soiree.

That's right, Sandwell District take over Test and the tag team of Regis and Function armed with laptops, Fx Processors, Roland SH 101 and a TR 909 it's going to be dark techno all night long (Plagiarism! - House music ed).

With roots in the crazy and very hazy days of 90s techno, the pedigree of Regis and Function is unquestionable: Regis's work on Downwards was central to the development of the Birmingham sound, while Function's bleepy adventures for Synewave still resonate.

Working together with Silent Sevant, Female and CH Signal Laboratories for the mysterious Sandwell label, this dynamic duo's music has proved unstoppable (Find your own metaphors! - Batman editor).

Merging Millsian panel-beating with resonating Sleeparchive/Sahko-alike subsonics and Downwards' chain mail metallic percussions to create a familiar yet fresh-sounding sound and stride the techno world like a Colossus (stop paraphrasing! - Shakespeare editor)

Responsible for a wider return to deeply underground sounds, these elusive Sandwell players are hotter than a Hardwax hand-stamped record (Leading statement - Berlin editor).

Support on the night comes from Test's very own strong-jaw, Jay "I'll see you in the Berghain" Galligan.



Miss this at your peril...

17/4/10 Sandwell District aka Regis & Function live @ TEST

It's with our deep regret to inform you all that Robert Hood will not be performing at Test in the Twisted Pepper tonight. Due to "maintenance" issues with Delta airlines Robert Hood was unable to make his scheduled flight to Dublin. We are already rescheduling a date for his return in the not so distant future.

But where one Delta let's us down, another Delta is here to back us up. Delta Funktionen will perform a live set for us and for the headline slot we will see him transform into his Phantom Regiment guise to tear the basement down. Expect tough dark techno. Starting the night and building the transformation between the two, will be Test ressie Dan Mc Elligott.

Tickets for the original date remain valid for the rescheduled date in October.

For Customers unable to attend the rescheduled date, refunds are available.

Customers who purchased their tickets from the Bodytonic website, refunds can be obtained by email request: darren@bodytonicmusic.com

For customers who purchased their tickets via Ticketmaster, please contact Ticketmaster to obtain a refund.

Set times:
Phantom Regiment 2- close
Dan McEligott 1 - 2
Delta Funktionen 12 - 1
Dan McElligott 11 -12

20/02/10 DJ Funk, Convextion & Mick Chillage

Yo yo,

February sees two of America's most distinctive electronic artistes hopping across the pond to appear at Test.

Representing Chicago's south-side, the one and only ghetto fabulous DJ Funk pops his Test cherry. Rumours of Funk's demise have been greatly exaggerated and the funk-master is itching to give it up the Brenda Twitter to all the girls (and deviant boys) in the club. With an expletive-laden catalogue that runs deeper than a KFC family bucket for labels like Dance Mania, Pro-Jex Cosmic and erm Funk, Chuck Chambers is gonna get freaky with feminist anthems like 'Work that Big Booty', 'Get it from the Back', 'Pump It' and 'Bitches'.

In the basement, Convextion aka enigmatic Texan producer Gerald Hanson flies the confederate flag. We were happier than an oil baron on holiday in Iraq when Gerald made his Irish debut at Test last year, and we're honoured that he's back to perform his magical, mysterious deep techno releases on Down Low and his frontier-conquering electro, which he puts out as (Wyatt) Erp.

Also featuring in this whopper super duper yanky doodle sandwich, we have the fine icicle sounds of Irelands very own eskimo, Mick Chillage. Mick has been producing music since late 1996. His productions cover a variety of genres, techno,house,electro, IDM, ambient, dub, minimal etc, sometimes fusing all these styles in to one track. His focus is mainly on atmosphere melody & emotion & prefers to create all this from scratch rather than sampling someone else's work.
