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.

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:

Berlin man about town Skkatter whom we’ve coaxed from an underground bunker near Berghain’s back entrance to provide warm up duties.

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.
