Dekmantel at Open Ground

Friday, October 11th Start: 11pm @dkmntl at Open Ground Annex: Vlada Konduku Freifeld: Dekmantel Soundsystem Call Super Josey Rebelle Despite the lack of biographical intel, @playvlada_ name is just about everywhere. Also touching on the realms of electro, IDM, and subtle techno, Vlada’s mixes explore the deepest corners of her extensive collection. Structured around long, thoughtful blends, she allows time for each track to be savoured. Spearheading a percussive yet atmospheric sound, @konduku minimalist approach to hi-energy dance music has reached a singular space. Varying between half-time steppers, futuristic house music and lucid techno experiments, Konduku has assembled a raft of forward thinking club records. Taking in UK bass culture to his sound, turn-of-the-century tech house and mid-2000s Italian techno, it’s an obsession for drums - and a wider scope for what falls between - that gives Konduku a rare, outsider’s edge. Dekmantel Soundsystem is firmly established as a benchmark of high quality musical enjoyment in more ways than one. Dekmantel Soundsystem, which sees @ceetee3000 dig deep into his record collection and play mesmeric dj-sets that are fully of seductive surprises and groovy gems, offers a tasteful and 360 degree take on electronic music. As a celebrated DJ and producer, but also as a painter and writer, they’re a chameleonic creator who glides through disciplines and genres without batting an eye. Whereas @call_super Dekmantel sets have proven their unique knack for wonderfully weird dance music, productions like their recent ‚Eulo Cramps‘ album move away from the dance floor into acoustic sound design, meditative improv and free jazz. Few DJs are as respected among DJs as Josey Rebelle. Based in London, where she was raised in a Caribbean culture of dancers, DJs and sound system operators, Josey was introduced to the decks at an early age and taught to mix by her brother on his house, techno and jungle collection. Josey Rebelle is known for her flawless mixing skills and the ability to traverse genres with a fearless and authentic energy that always evokes the spirit of her home city. #soundsystem #unity #dekmantel
