On the brink of Utopia we stand our ground, electronic militia of the urban ghetto. Unified through frequency we blow towards to the digital future without compromise as the battle for supremacy rages above. Penetrate the underground resistance. Program the Art Of Dance. Perfect the play and push the envelopeâ€¦ welcome to Metropolis. Temperature outside is 25 degrees Celsius. Wind velocity is clocked at 60 miles per hour. Morph the metaphor and melt the mainframe. Metropolis metaphysical. Move from yesterday to tomorrow to today... fuck the system and Blow Your Own Way.

ARTIST
For so many, the term â€œtechnoâ€ signifies all that is harsh, abrasive, and noisy in dance music. But there are those like Detroit 2nd Wave pioneer Kenny Larkin for whom that reductive definition will not do. His first new offering in 6 years, entitled â€œThe Narcissistâ€, constantly reminds the listener that melody and rhythm are not mutually exclusive categories. That their intersection is the space where the imagination truly takes hold. The uncompromising modernity he injects into this body of work, thrusts him into an indefinable genre of electronic music. With countless major releases on Plus 8, Warp, R&S, Peacefrog and his own label Art Of Dance, those who know Larkin's style know he is a man who sets no definable limits in his music. Terms like techno soul, funky, jazzy, ambient, come to mind, but still does little justice in describing what this album accomplishes. Without slipping into the self-absorbed excesses characterizing so much electronic music today, Larkin emphasizes what many electronic artists' never dreamt of making. That is great music. After touring extensively; DJing and playing live across the world from Tokyo to the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, to the biggest Festivals in Europe in front of 25,000 fans... Soma Corp presents Kenny Larkin in an exclusive Melbourne performance at the rockinest events space in town. Welcome to the future of electronic music.

PRODUCTION
After Kevin Saunderson at Hi Fi Bar, a new benchmark has been set for quality sound, production and professionalism. Soma Corp teams up with Next Wave Audio once again to ensure the return of the acclaimed Nexo Soundsystem. Hailing from France, Nexo is regarded as being at the forefront in loudspeaker design and prides itself on quality regardless the situation. Having toured the world over to more recently being the brand specified for the Main Stadium of the 2004 Athens Olympics, rest assured that the sound clarity and volume of this system will satisfy the most discerning of listeners. With a large DVD projector screen, wall projections, disco lights, full bar facilities and an outdoor garden rooftop with an array of ferns and brand new comfy bean bags, this is the perfect way to kick-start the summer season!

I am incredibly excited about this event.

Kenny Larkin was extraordinary that night he played with Kevin Saunderson at the Chevron for the Ultd. Party.

The support is perfect.

Apologies to those who have visited the web site to enter the competition (as advertised on promo material). This site update has not been completed and unfortunately was beyond our control. We now have 5 copies of Kenny Larkin's new album 'The Narcissist' to give away on the night! Prizes will be given at random to full priced ticket owners as they enter so best of luck!

Damn pumped for this....
