Return to Mono with Surgeon & Slam
After the epic Slam Tent at the 20th anniversary of T In The Park, Slam return to their Glasgow basement for their next installment of Return To Mono. Stuart and Orde welcome one of the pioneers of UK Techno, Surgeon.
Birmingham techno artist Anthony Child has rapidly built a solid and, to a certain extent, innovative catalog of minimal dancefloor techno since his Surgeon releases began appearing in 1991. Compared favorably with Detroit original Jeff Mills from his earliest Downwards singles on forward, Child’s tracks have been a mainstay in the popular Motor City DJ’s sets. Although Surgeon releases have worked an increasing affectation for acid and trance, an economy of sound and basic hardness combine his and Mills’ sound.
More recent additions to his repertoire include releases on his Counterbalance imprint as well as collaborations with Regis as British Murder Boys, resulting in tracks which take a tone far darker, denser, and more industrial than those from his Tresor years.
Catching an artist like Surgeon in our underground environment will undoubtedly be a night to remember.
