Stroboscopic Artefacts ‘Sword’ Album Launch
November 12, 2011 Corsica Studios, London+ buy ticketsThough the cold, steely sound of his music might call to mind cities like Sheffield or Berlin, Xhin hails from the balmy island country of Singapore. At home, he’s a rare outpost of purist techno, but his records and live sets have struck a chord across Europe and even North America, earning him gigs from Berghain in Berlin to The End Up in San Francisco. Since 2009 he’s been a cornerstone of Stroboscopic Artefacts, the Berlin-based label run by DJ and producer Lucy. For a more in-depth look at Xhin, peruse our Breaking Through feature on him from last year.
Sword will be Xhin’s third full-length, following his 2004 self-released debut and 2008′s Greyscale, released on Meerestief Records. A launch party will take place the day after it’s released at Corsica Studios in London, with Xhin playing alongside Lucy, Pfirter and Inigo Kennedy. Visuals on the night will be provided by Oblivious Artefacts, the label’s in-house design team.
Room 2 at Corsica will see a very exciting addition to the party, Fachwerk Records! Fachwerk consistently deals in heavy techno sounds that are doused in dub and finished with an analogue authenticity which set them apart from the crowd. One of the most prominent Berlin labels of recent times, it’s run by the triumvirate of DJing and production talent that is Dehnert, Roman Lindau and Sascha Rydell. After Dehnert’s amazing performance for us at EarToGround earlier in the year we just had to get label pals Sascha and Roman to come and play this time.
Its the first time you’ll find Stroboscopic and Fachwerk under the same roof. Brought together by EarToGround.
The killer Funktion One across both rooms is in for a serious workout!

►MARCO DEL HORNO- From his early beginnings on the UK garage scene 10 years ago to his current status as ‘Bullet Train’ label boss, producer, Rinse.FM presenter, Ministry resident and co-director of the Go Management agency – at 26, Marco Del Horno is a man who’s going places. With the release of this, his debut mix compilation Bullet Train Volume One, it’s time for the wider world to find out exactly what he’s all about.
Take 1 part garage, 1 part house and 1 part dubstep and the result is Marco Del Horno.►STATIX Introducing Statix. Radio plays from the likes of Caspa, Rusko and Crissy Criss followed a “mini-mix” request on the infamous Mary anne Hobbs Radio 1 show. the spotlight was significantly placed upon “Mind over Matter” which even featured on Mary anne Hobbs’ US Tour blog beside the lies of Chase n Status, Joker and Plastician. “Mind over Matter” was then chosen to be released on “Screwloose Records” where it would join highly desired up and coming releases from the likes of KOAN SOUND and ASA. Look out for the anthem that is “Anymore”, co-produced with EDDIE K, seeing a release on H.E.N.C.H. this month!
►RACK N RUIN- One of the most exciting producers working in the London bass scene…”
This young London producer has already harnessed the support of BBC’s Annie Mac, Nick Grimshaw, Kissy Sell-Out, Toddla T, Dj Zinc, Fake Blood, Shy FX, Jack Beats, Boy 8-Bit, and many more with his latest releases.
Known for carving his way neatly through haunting electro-organs and dramatic synth-stabs, his production seems to demand ‘hands in the air’ moments at every turn, while his genre-crossing DJ sets call for all out dance floor warfare.
► PUNX SOUNDCHECK- The partnership of John Taylor and Arif Salih brings together their ever eveolving fusion of dubstep, electro and fidget.

►NMM- NEUROTIC MASS MOVEMENT- Emotional and intuitive approach to creativity, singer Yin Neurotic
iconoclastic live performances and David Neurotic uncompromising musicianship underpins and cajoles the NMM sound. Asked recently in an interview what his guitar influences were he said“ there are many influences,but TristanTzara, Le Tonneau de la Haine and Scooby Doo, spring to mind”. London based the records and live performances document the intensity of their passion for life. Their shows are relentless spectacles which captivates and leaves you wanting more. Their first EP will be released March 2012 and we can’t wait!► T.W.I.N.S.- Hugo Santa Cruz and The Volts took their previous dizygotic musical endeavours to create the monozygotic T.W.I.N.S with the agenda of not letting the summer fall. Formed two months ago they have played clothes shops and alien autopsies under the influences of Major Lazer, Talking Heads and Azealia Banks. Expect drums, a lot of them.”
