Cornucopia promises to be a warm and joyfully colourful club night with a mix of live performances aimed both at the serious listener and the dance floor. Expect a splendid abundance of sounds and brilliant musical ideas that combine shrewd jazz inspired percussion, heavy bass and loaded drums, wonky instrumental hiphop, dense textures and multi-layered sampling, abstract beats, psyched-out disco, funked IDM and a heavy touch of cosmic krautrock – seamlessly melded together in a mesmerizing process of alchemical refinement. A sonic adventure playground for grown-ups that brings together some of the most engaging live performers to pioneer a visionary of out-of-the-regular dance music that defies genre boundaries.

Four Tet (UK)
Four Tet is the stage name of Kieran Hebden, electronic music producer and member of the post-rock band Fridge. In early 1997 Hebden started a solo project with the aim of experimenting with 'DJ-Shadow style sample-scapes’, which became the foundation of his acclaimed Four Tet project. Having created some essential pieces of British electronica in the early 2000s, Hebden kept evolving his sound and musicality. Since releasing his last album Everything Ecstatic in 2005 he has played live improvised shows and recorded four albums with legendary jazz drummer Steve Reid, released the four-song EP Ringer (Domino, 2008), a homage to Detroit techno, and in 2009, Hebden worked on a collaboration with Burial. Under his own name, Hebden makes DJ-ing forays into dance music and club culture. The new Four Tet album There is Love in You is due out in end of January 2010.

Dan Deacon (US)
Baltimore electronic experimentalist Dan Deacon’s breakthrough 2007 full-length, Spiderman of the Rings, and the 2009 follow up, Bromst, were both featured in Pitchfork’s ‘Best New Music’. Active solo since 2003, Deacon’s musical career dates back to the mid-90s when he fronted the Long Island ska band Channel 59. Born in New York State, he moved to Baltimore’s Copycat Building in 2004 to start the arts and music collective, Wham City. He has built a reputation as brilliant live performer with his table full of gadgets planted right in the middle of the dancefloor, engaging his audiences with frenetic dancing and dadaist theatrics.

Funckarma (NL)
Funckarama’s restless momentum is underpinned by reliably jagged beats and dense basswork. The brothers, Don Funcken and Roel Funcken, are from Den Haag, and debuted with Part 1 on Rotterdam’s Djak-Up-Bitch in 1999. Funckarama is just one of dozens of projects the Funkens are involved with – with Shadow Huntaz, they produce experimental hiphop (Skam); Cane is an acid-electro incarnation (Warp Records). Recent years have seen dubstep explorations on Highpoint Lowlife, and the pair has drawn on drum&bass, ambient, hiphop, and dub for their latest full-length Vell Vagranz (n5MD), their first since Bion Glent (2006 Sublight).

Transforma (DE)
The Berlin video group Transforma was founded in 2001. Since then they've been exploring interferences between music and image and are working in the context of VJ-ing, music videos and live cinema. Their visual language combines early cinema approaches with current computer based filmmaking techniques, to create fragmented visions and micro stories, which invite the viewer into a world with its own internal logic. They frequently collaborate with Apparat and his Shitkatapult label.

The dubstep aesthetic has seeped into larger contexts, and with it, a new sensibility has taken hold, one that liquifies time signatures like acid, corroding genres and mutating rhythms into surreal, hypercoloured dance structures. The agents of this sensibility come from not only the fringes of dubstep, but techno, electronica and the murky, dark, nameless areas in between. CTM is proud to team-up with Hotflush, one of the premier mutational beats imprints, for a fascinatingly mellifluous night.

Mount Kimbie (UK)
London based Dominic Maker and Kai Campos, from the fringes of dubstep, wonky and hiphop, are at the centre of raptures from the wider electronic music community. Mount Kimbie EP’s Maybes and Sketched On Glass, both released on Scuba’s Hotflush in 2009, made big waves, with support coming from DJs including Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob Booth, Ramadanman and Alex Incyde. Maker and Kampos are joined by James Blake for live performances.

Joker (UK)
Joker (Liam Mclean) surfaced in 2008 after cutting his teeth on Bristol’s pirate radio stations and dubstep nights, the break coming when Tectonic boss Pinch released ‘Kapsize’ (Earwax, 2007) on vinyl. Joker is associated with the wonky sound and dubbed one of the ‘purple trinity’ along with Gemmy and Guido for his soulful take on grime. He’s since seen releases on Hyperdub and Tectonic, and he founded his own label, Kapsize, in 2008.

Scuba (UK)
Scuba (Paul Rose) is head of Hotflush Recordings, one of London’s most respected dubstep labels. Rose has been active as a DJ and producer since the start of the 00s, releasing a string of seminal EPs that cemented his reputation early. He relocated to Berlin shortly before the release of his well-received debut, A Mutual Antipathy (2008, Hotflush). Paul Rose is, with Paul Fowler, behind the Sub:stance night at Berlin’s Berghain.

As A Made up Sound, Huismans puts out techno with recent releases on Shed’s Subsolo label and he has also operated under the (now retired) alias Dogdaze producing dubby, broken-beat (Flying High).
