- Three fun-filled years have flown by since we started out with a small RAG charity fundraiser party in the basement of Wire. A lot has happened in that time and Flux has grown and developed to be something more than we had ever anticipated. On February 19th we will revert back to some one-room simplicity, celebrating our 3rd Birthday in the intimate confines of the legendary Mint Club. Joining us will be German powerhouse Prosumer, alongside one of the upcoming stars of the past year, Adesse Versions. Support will come from our Flux faithful - Aartekt and Archie. Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/575535969200345/ Artists / The man they call Prosumer is besotted with music. Since Achim Brandenburg heartily grabbed the microphone under this moniker in 2005 for Frankfurt’s then undisputed Label, Playhouse, he showed that lasciviousness, a fever for Chicago’s Jack flavour and consciousness of tradition aren’t necessarily bound to a time and a place. Vision, passion and knowledge make Prosumer a guardian of house music history and one of the formative artists, influential DJs and important producers of our time. Deriving his name from Alvin Toffler’s techno sci-fi-bible The Third Wave (producing and consuming at the same time), Prosumer lives up to his name. With more than a decade of Hard-Wax-Record-Store enculturation on the clock (first in Saarbrucken, then Berlin), he spent countless nights in clubs, days looking for music and years refining his art and becoming in line with the “big three”. This is not a reference to Detroit’s car companies, but the city’s musical heritage that – together with the Big Apple and the Windy city – laid the foundation for techno and house builds with the Big Apple and the Windy City. Prosumer oscillates between these poles. That holds true for his productions, which are affected by references and historical vertexes, but never feel to be out of time or place. An album with Murat Tepeli and collaborations with Tama Sumo expand his discography for labels like the aforementioned Playhouse, Running Back or Swayzak’s 240 Volts. On the other hand – and that might be far more important – this is exemplary for his DJ work since the mid-nineties. Prosumer connects the tracks and songs of this music’s golden age with the worthwhile pieces and developments of today. Accordingly to that special feeling which is so hard to couch, he gets engaged in it from tip to toe – and so does his audience. Proved by his mission as one of the residents in Berlin’s influential club institution, on his official mix CD for that place that describes his spectrum of sound perfectly and by this certain magic that travels with and in him everywhere. The idea behind Adesse Versions is to reconstruct old records. To flip the genres, play with their context. As Theo Parrish said 'Love of the music should be the driving force…With that love, sampling can become a tribute; An expansion on ideas long forgotten'. Although currently an anonymous project, rumours have begun to circulate about the true identity of Adesse, amid speculation a pretty experienced and reputable producer is behind the impressive music. In any case, 2013 was a phenomenal year for Adesse Versions, with Baayi on Prime Numbers and Pressured on MakeLoveInPublicSpaces attracting particular plaudits for their deft production skills and emotional resonance. We look forward to welcoming the enigmatic producer for his Leeds debut. Get in touch / [email protected]
