The Likes OF You / SURGEON / ROBER DIETZ / 22 October

Post by phonetics »

Image

As temperatures warm and the rain begins to subside, we are opening the summer early with a show that only dreams are made of. With over 10 years in the making, The Likes of You are proud to present the return of techno’s precision master, Surgeon. And for the first time to hit our shores, Cadenza’s German contingent, Robert Dietz will deliver a show like no other.

SURGEON [Counter Balance, Fabric, Warp, Tresor, UK]

Surgeon is wi...thout doubt one of the biggest names in international techno. In the 10 years since his last visit to Australia Surgeon has not only cemented his place as one of global techno’s elite but has also developed as one of the true innovators of electronic dance music. With a spectacular catalogue of releases, remixes and collaborations, Surgeon has consistently reinvented and redefined the terrain of techno music, perhaps best articulated in his recent DJ mix for the FABRIC series in stores now.

Global opinion has it that to witness a Surgeon’s live performance is a must for any dance music enthusiast. It is an extremely rare opportunity to get it in our own city. Don’t miss this.

Surgeon is a true artist at heart with an echoing passion for the collective culture of techno music. Nowadays, electronic artists tend to retreat into a stylistic corner but not Surgeon, he dares to draw the bigger picture. After releasing outstanding productions on such renowned labels as Tresor, Counterbalance and Warp Records, Surgeon has established a significant presence as a DJ, writer and producer. Yet, its not easy to categorize Surgeon because hes a unique and special artist who sets out to not only achieve greatness, but does so in the humblest fashion.

ROBERT DIETZ [Cadenza. Cecile, GER]

Robert Dietz cut his clubbing teeth on the Frankfurt scene dominated by the likes of Sven Vath, Dorian Paic, Ricardo Villalobos and Luciano, but the flourishing artist leaps all musical boundaries. His only guiding principle can be summed up in words of Chuck Roberts: House is a feeling!

Beatportal hailed Dietz as one of 2009’s Artists To Watch saying he: came out of nowhere to land on some of the scene’s hottest labels. Though it is true that Dietz has made a major impression on A-list imprints including Cadenza, Cecille, Running Back and Deep Vibes the fact is Robert has been honing his musical prowess for years, ever since he was a teenager dividing his time between Frankfurt’s skate parks and the equally frenetic dancefloors of clubs like Robert Johnson and Monza. His early attraction to hip hop culture transformed into a passion for house music and it wasn’t long before Dietz was experimenting with a borrowed Roland 303, was well as devoting his time to mastering a pair of Technics 1210s.

This grounding in the basic tools of classic house forms the basis for Robert’s hypnotic, sexy, nuanced take on electronic music. He always took the ethos of minimal with a grain of salt, preferring to have richness and emotional texture in his tunes rather than simply follow a trend. It is this mindset, coupled with his superb sense of what it takes to make a club explode, that provides the impetus for Dietz’s productions – and his packed DJ schedule.

Indeed. Though I shouldn't begrudge the children their fun just because I'm a grumpy old man.

Enjoy peoples.
