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.

16/01/10 Claro Intellect & Andy Stott @ TEST
After years of pissing in the wind, while working, like , very hard we have finally found ourselves moving the club night to a Saturday night in the Twisted pepper to take the place of the recently defunct Electric Shock. Its a huge pair of boots to fill but we have been working on a killer line up!
2010 and beyond!
Our first night shall be on the 16th Jan and we shall be showcasing the Manchester record label Modern Love.
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k295/filthypitcher/test_Jan_Modern-love.jpg
A new year brings changes to Test as it moves to the Twisted Pepper basement on Saturday nights.
We mark the first month of the new decade with a showcase from Manchester's mighty Modern Love label.
Representing the UK's most respected techno stamp are dub techno producer Claro Intelecto aka Mark Stewart. With a number of albums to his credit, as well as the defining 'Warehouse Sessions' series, Stewart recently branched out into deep house with the release of 'Chadderton'.
The label's other main act, Andy Stott, is also performing. Still only in his 20s, Stott has produced a body of work that belies his youth. Be it grungy acid classics like 'Demon in the Attic', the lurching dubstep of 'Night Jewel' or the sensuous house that intermittently featured on his debut album, the common feature in all of Stott's productions - and his incendiary live shows - are his heavy basslines and resonating beats.
Support comes from Test's Richard Brophy, who'll be spinning everything from rare UB40 remixes to Mike Dehnert releases.
Venue:The Twisted pepper
Admission €10/€8 presales tickets
Doors: 2300
Upcoming Test events:
Feb 20th
DJ Funk (Dance Mania - Chicago)
Convextion aka ERP (Downlow - Dallas)

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:
