On Friday May 12th, Moody take over the cult London venue that is House of Vans with a vital and varied line-up of stars from across the house spectrum including Farley Jackmaster Funk and Soundstream.

The venue is a fascinating underground space on many different levels, with brick lined walls and corridors all beautifully lit and leading to some unique party spaces. Currently undergoing a big renovation and open early May, it is raw and atmospheric and will be decked out specially for this party with palm trees and projections for an extra sensory experience.

Musically many bases are covered, with Chicago house legend and star vocalist Farley Jackmaster Funk is the main headliner. He will be joined by the cult Soundstream, whose rough and authentic MPC made house and disco is filled with heartwarming vibes and sensual grooves on his own self titled label. As well as that, Tenderlonius’s London based 22a Orchestra will also be on hand to offer some serious playing chops and contemporary jazz vibes, broken beats and space age sounds. The always on point Moody Collective will play across both rooms to round off a fine line-up.

This is all available to you, for free, with pairs of tickets available here

Robert Hood announces Paradygm Shift album on Dekmantel https://datatransmission.co/news/robert-hood-announces-paradygm-shift-album-dekmantel/ Mon, 03 Apr 2017 08:24:51 +0000 https://datatransmission.co/?p=35295 Drops on May 22 on Dekmantel Records.

The post Robert Hood announces Paradygm Shift album on Dekmantel appeared first on Data Transmission.

]]>

One of the most prominent and outstanding techno craftsmen of our generation returns to his roots with Paradygm Shift; the first Robert Hood album to be released since 2012 on Dekmantel Records. The LP serves as a milestone for the Dutch imprint as it marks their 50th release and drops on May 22.

Paradygm Shift is the return to the distinguished style that defined Hood’s music in the early 90s, and is the culmination of a three EP series. It is the older and more mature brother to his classic Minimal Nation, highlighting his more evolved, technical craftsmanship.

Since DJing for the Dekmantel crew in 2010, Hood has been a regular fixture ever since. His new record is the perfect marriage, cementing the Detroit-Dutch relationship further. Overall, Paradym Shift is an album of delicately orchestrated techno that is quintessentially minimal in focus, and grandiose in sound, juxtaposed with electronic funk, wrapped up in blisteringly urgent, and honest, pulsating techno.

Track list
A1. Robert Hood – Preface
A2. Robert Hood – Idea
A3. Robert Hood – I Am
B1. Robert Hood – Solid Thought
B2. Robert Hood – Nephesh
C1. Robert Hood – Pneuma
C2. Robert Hood – Pattern 8
D1. Robert Hood – Thought Process
D2. Robert Hood – Lockers (Extended)
