Turnmills goes Techno on Saturday 7th February 2004 with the launch of Split – one of our most exciting nights yet. Split is the partnership between Retro_Vert and Flux, and having showcased their own parties in London for a while, they’re now taking the night to the next level with this exclusive new Turnmills residency.
The legendary Derrick May will play his first solo London gig in 18 months to launch this very special event. Together with contemporaries like Juan Atkins, Carl Craig and Jeff Mills, May galvanized a worldwide generation of minds that listened and learned the secret of Techno. His Transmat label has just signed a deal to host the DEMF (Detroit Electronic Music Festival) for the next 5 years and he joins hosts Chris Finke (Flux) and Ben Sims (Retro_Vert). Ben Sims is a veteran DJ and producer who runs 3 labels including Theory and Ingoma. He’s one of the most popular international DJs on the scene and co-promotes Split with Flux Records’ label co-owner Chris Finke. Chris, like Ben, DJs all over the world and is the new resident at the world famous Atomic Jam in Birmingham. Both DJs have recently been showcased on BBC Radio 1.
Surgeon (at the moment preparing new 'British Murder Boys' and 'Surgeon" material) and Oliver Ho (Live) complete the main room billing having rocked many a Split event in recent times, whilst the backroom welcomes top headliners Chicken Lips and A Guy Called Gerald alongside Split residents Mark Broom, Paul Mac, Aidy West and Tony Anderson.
The Split parties also boast a tight VJ lineup on rotation, with headliner residents such as Exceeda, Usagi (Organix), D-Fuse, SanFrandisco, Kameiflage (Dubstrakt), Marija, Ryu, and new comer Circuit_c, giving the parties a true audiovisual vibe. In addition to live projections and slides created by Samuel, Exceeda's “4x4” film screening night will host the cinema room and will provide seated entertainment of this year's best [4x4] short films, animations, music videos and experimental pieces.
This is the most exciting thing to happen to UK techno in a long time and Turnmills will be giving the night our full backing. The aim is simple… to attract new people to the scene and to move the scene away from the "moody train-spotter" image. Expect Techno, House, acid house and electro featuring some the world’s biggest DJs and the UK’s freshest spinners throughout 2004 at this brand new Saturday night event.
