CO-OP & FUNKTION-ONE PRESENT MOTORCITYSOUL (COCOON/GERMANY) & THE REVENGE (JISCO/UK) FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN SYDNEY ON SATURDAY 23RD MAY - SUPPORTED BY RESIDENT ADVISOR
FIRST RELEASE TICKETS SOLD OUT - SECOND RELEASE ON SALE NOW FROM RESIDENTADVISOR.NET
Sydney collective CO-OP, a fresh (questionable), forward-thinking (a one week maximum) and friendly (unconfirmed) exponent of deep dance deviance, are soon to stumble onto the scene and create a very public one of their own with a party bringing two highly acclaimed international guest artists together in the city for one night only (or maybe two, depending on how long they can drag the afters on for). Matthias Vogt, founder of German kings of electronic House Motorcitysoul, and Graeme Clark, AKA the mastermind behind the UK’s re-edit and future Disco royalty The Revenge, will be gracing the DJ booths (note plural) of a Sydney basement venue for the inaugural CO-OP shakedown armed, no doubt, with good haircuts and great music (both equally important, lets be honest). Oh, and they'll be playing two sets each on the night to showcase the different flavours of their sound - one more trademark in the main room and one more 'eclectric' in the back room. Both on systems provided with love by revered audiophiles Funktion-One. Vive la difference...
MOTORCITYSOUL (COCOON/GERMANY)
Matthias Vogt started his Motorcitysoul project back in 2003 and has released quality deep House records over the past few years under this alias in partnership with Christian ‘C-Rock’ Rindermann. Original productions have found homes on some of the world’s best electronic labels including Freerange, Simple and Stir 15, with latest album ‘Technique’ released on Will Saul’s imprint in 2008. On the remix front, heavyweights Phonique, Dirt Crew and Black Science Orchestra, to mention a few, have all been blessed with the Motorcitysoul touch. A truly talented musician as well as DJ and producer, Vogt is acclaimed internationally for his Jazz outings and is behind the revered re:jazz! album series. Matthias has played all over the world but is best known behind the decks for the residency Motorcitysoul hold at Sven Vath’s legendary Cocoon club in Frankfurt.
THE REVENGE (JISCO/UK)
Graeme Clark has been producing and playing music for over 15 years and is currently creating a stir under his latest moniker The Revenge. He co-runs the label Five20East, which provides a home for his original tracks as The Revenge, and also releases DJ-only edits for L.E.S.S. Productions. Many of the cream of the international DJ community are fans of The Revenge’s seamless blend of deep Disco and pitched-down House, including Todd Terje, Tim Sweeney, The Unabombers and Radio Slave. Clark’s engineering experience is also in demand, with forthcoming work including projects for Mark E and Jisco, and he produces under a number of collaborative aliases including OOFT! and 6th Borough Project. In 2009 The Revenge will boast releases on Graeme’s new vinyl only label Instruments of Rapture and Five20East, Jimpster’s new imprint and Raoul Galloway from Faith’s label, plus remix work for Phonica among others.
CO-OP represents the meeting of several not altogether proficient minds who have decided, in their sometimes questionable but generally well informed wisdom, that what Sydney really needs right now is a good old-fashioned, rough around the edges party, where that music stuff and everything that makes and breaks it is really important and everything else is, well, not. The purveyors of other not-too-shit nights A Disco Stole My Baby and Better Days have become cosy (maybe even getting to second base, but that’s just a scurrilous rumour) and intend to program, produce, promote and pimp, some pretty ridiculous (as in good) house party style events in someone else’s manor. The fundamentals are simple – outstanding and exclusive DJ talent playing outstanding and exclusive music on a fuck-off sound-system in a suitably dark and dancer-friendly venue. Oh, and they won’t be stealing your wallet in a corner either (metaphorically speaking). They’re not planning on starting an empire, but know there are others that worship at the alter of deep Disco and even deeper House who would prefer something laced with a little more love than your typical nightclub experience. Basically, they’re helping each other to help you, so you’re either with them or without them�
