Capacity 600 - Jerome Sydenham

  • After a huge year in 2013 were we saw the return of so many techno heavy weights such as Speedy j, Dave Clarke etc we have opted for something a little special for our return after the summer break with Jerome Sydenham - [Ibadan / Planet E / Apotek]. Nigerian-born Jerome Sydenham has been involved with music in one form or another since the mid-'80s. He found his feet in the industry after moving to New York City, holding down a residency at an up-market celebrity hang-out called Nell's. After a stint doing A&R at Atlantic Records—a long-held ambition of his at the time—he grew disillusioned with major label culture and left to set-up his own imprint, Ibadan. 17 years and well over 100 releases later, it's safe to say he made the right move. Some of the city's best house artists—Kerri Chandler, Dennis Ferrer, Joe Claussell—became regulars in the Ibadan discography, while Sydenham's own prodigious work-rate, not to mention hits like "Sandcastles" and "Timbuktu" ensured his own place in the hall of fame for NYC house. The more recent chapter of the Sydenham story could be titled "techno." After relocating to Berlin around 2007, Sydenham found himself increasingly drawn to the sound, formalizing his fascination with transmissions for labels like CLR and Drumcode, and collaborating with Function of Sandwell District, the list goes on and on. Howler has been chosen specially for this event so we can incorporate full day party vibe in the beer garden (complete with sprinkler system!) then onto a concert style techno showcase with their monster P.A. in the acoustically treated Bandroom. We'll have a special food menu for the day and a spirit list on the bar that would make Winston Churchill cry. With a train close by, minutes from Sydney Road and with a 100 car spaces to park, the decision was easy. Art and Design by http://studio-io.com/ Sponsored by http://www.aiaiai.com.au/
