SLOT

Abo Abo, Custom CSS, Moodus, Service Manual aka No Service (live)

We will host our first event at beloved SLOT focusing on hypnotic and minimalistic soundscapes and tribal teknoid basslines.

For our first edition we invite ABO ABO from Florence, an expert on mesmerizing tribal sound and father of Sinestesie and De Rio Records. He will be playing a live set and we‘re looking forward to hosting his first time in Hamburg.

SERVICE MANUAL will open the night with a mystic one of a kind live set of their own and we‘re already eager to hear what kind of spells they will cast on us.

Following we will get to hear CUSTOM CSS a Hamburg weirdness-aficionado who will deliver finest tekno and experimental sounds with excellent taste and precision, she always has a surprise up her sleeve.

Closing the night will be MOODUS the hypno tek queen of Hello Darkness Events. She never fails to excite dancers and listeners and has a wide variety from reduced psychedelic to breaky sounds and will take us to trance-like states of mind through sound.

UNDERGROUND ASSISTANCE spans the full spectrum of bass-driven club culture. uk garage, jungle, breakbeat, dubstep, grime, footwork and experimental sounds come together over deep bass, driving rhythms and a strong soundsystem focus. the nights are about energy, precision and pushing the music forward.

the series provides space for independent and emerging artists, connecting local crews with international talent. it acts as a platform for community, shared experience and self-organised culture.

the dancefloor is open and respectful, while the music remains bold and uncompromising.

UNDERGROUND ASSISTANCE treats club culture as a collective practice – a place for musical exploration, social connection and self-made counterculture.

LOW END ACTIVIST

with an omnivorous approach to every fibre of soundsystem culture, low end activist revels in the alchemy of sample manipulation and bass pressure across the hardcore continuum. from the earliest mutations of breakbeat and jungle to the sleek bump of garage via dubstep’s half-time meditations onto grime’s volatile riddims, this is a project steeped in reverence for the formidable force inherent in uk dance music culture. first surfacing with a certifiable ukg party-starter ‘park end’ featuring trim, they delivered their first full-length sermon in tribute to the dub soundsystem legacy of the blackbird leys estate in oxford with the low end activism ep on sneaker social club. the game theory double pack on seagrave brought roll deep legend flowdan into the fold for a searing collaboration framed by the kind of paranoid future-shock sonic matter that has upheld the allure of bassweight music since the dub days of scratch and tubby in 1970s jamaica. a series of 12”s on a self-steered label has brought more visceral vocal talent into the mix, including vybz kartel and duppy gun-affiliated dancehall mc sikka rymes and uk upstart razor alongside remixes from outwardly experimental artists such as loraine james, john t. gast and low jack. all these connections and pursuits point to the restless inspiration driving low end activist – a culmination of decades spent soaking in the bassbins and still pinging off the alien signals being transmitted in the present day.

NASSSTYA

with a strong passion and love for sub driven music and heavy basslines, she’s become a steady part of the northern bass front. her musical aspiration is to break with the stale construct of subgenre boundries by celebrating a multifarious bass music culture, making more room for a diverse, safe & inclusive space - not only behind the decks, but also over the speakers and on the dancefloors. especially her uptempo selections are fueled by various styles and influences, always blending in some footwork, halftime & ravy jungle treats.

NONAPS

non-adaptive pleasure seeking - most pleasurable activities, such as eating and sex, have clear links to survival. such activities ultimately stimulate brain mechanisms that are specifically evolved to reward and encourage adaptive behaviors. note that once brain mechanisms are in place that permit the experience of pleasure, it may be possible to stimulate those mechanisms in ways that do not confer a survival advantage. this behavior is called non-adaptive pleasure seeking. if we think of music as a drug, then it is a temptation even more difficult to avoid than a chemical drug. but now we have developed a partial resistance to this effect that music has on us. for whatever reason, the resistance is not total, and music continues to have emotional and pleasurable effects on us, but, these effects are but residual shadows of what music used to be. nonaps has arrived to fight our brains tendency of adaption to music by flooding it with the wildest musical super cheesecake ever heard.



N:IN

n:in has always been attracted to dystopian sounds and unusual rhythms. sometimes more on the soft side, sometimes completely distorted, she likes to explore different genres and connect them through sounddesign or harsh contrasts. maily inspired by modern, dupstep influenced club-, deconstructed and experimental approaches.
