Beyond cheap tricks and fancy concepts TECHRIVE is a straightforward platform for an unspoilt techno expression.
Keeping a distance from the trendy club culture where dancefloor has long lost it's purpose TECHRIVE is powered by a simple intention of putting the music and the dance back on the forefront.
TECHRIVE aims to provide an environment where techno artists can directly connect to the audience while performing in an integral fashion free from the predefined expectations they are invariably facing in an average nightclub.
TECHRIVE testing grounds will be the legendary Islington Metal Works (otherwise known as Slimelight and Electrowerkz) which is an atmospheric warehouse space just behind the Angel tube station.

MAKATON
[Rodz-Konez / Token / RSB / House Of God]
Birmingham born Makaton has greatly contributed to the city's reputation of the industrial techno stronghold. Starting with 1999 Makaton's own label Rodz-Konez has been serving as the sole outlet for his one-of-the-kind sound apart from a couple of recent releases put out by Token and RSB. Although Makaton's music can generally be described as dark and industrial there's a lot of variety and progression to be heard throughout his releases as it's all about pushing foward for the man. Having no interest in DJing Makaton is known for his expressive live sets with a heavy peak hour dancefloor appeal.

VOIDLOSS
[Singularity Recordings / DirtyBass Records / DirtyBass Grooves]
Voidloss is a London based producer with experience in various scenes spanning well over a decade. Starting out in industrial bands he eventually moved on to become involved with a free party soundsystem as part of the infamous United Systems movement finally settling into production and mastering as well as running the labels Singularity Recordings (together with Villain), DirtyBass Records and DirtyBass Grooves.
While the Dirty Bass moniker reached massive acclaim by many internationally successful releases and playing out bass heavy techno and dubstep, Voidloss is the darker side to the artist infusing cinematic musicality with an unbridled approach to the strangely compelling occult arena.
Combining endless pallette of sounds and scapes into emotionally charged techno imagery Voidloss live PA is an explorative and ritualistic journey for the mind as well as the feet.

CASUAL VIOLENCE
[Aftertaste Recordings / Detatched / Biomechanics]
Manchester's native Casual Violence is steadily gaining a reputation for deep, pensive and emotionally dark techno music. Never 100% aimed at the dancefloor but rather focused on subtle and gradual build-up of energy and atmospheres – Casual Violence's productions and live sets require a degree of time and thought from the listener.
Using turntables for over 15 years his mixing is tight and solid and while track selection is generally more dancefloor-friendly than his live sets it still stays much on the deeper side of electronic music.
Casual Violence has been releasing thru Dutch imprints Arms and Aftertaste Recordings, Slovenian Biomechanics as well as UK’s Detatched and Singularity Recordings. With more releases in the pipeline he has also recently remixed Inigo Kennedy’s China Rising for Rodz-Konez.

SYSTEMIC
[Duality / Labrynth / Jactation Records / Detatched]
Systemic's first experiences of electronic music were provided by the legendary Orbit club in Morley where he would religiously spend every possible weekend absorbing the frequencies of the world's finest techno and electro artists inspiring him to master the art of DJing. He soon started to receive his first bookings going on to win a DJ competition that secured sets at events around the country. Having already studied music from a young age Systemic proceeded with obtaining a degree in Music Technology & Audio Systems.
With both being regulars at the Eastern Bloc Records shop in Manchester Systemic's music found its way to Martin Wareham resulting in a series of successful EPs on Jactation Records during 2006-2008. Gradually Systemic started to release on various other labels including the Portuguese imprint Labrynth run by Michaelangelo with his tracks being remixed by the likes of Phase, Paul Mac, Paul Damage and Sir Real. Finally 2009 marks the establishment of Duality - a platform for Systemic's own output alongside talented and cutting edge artists from around the world.
