Insect like Cristian Vogel, one of the heavyweights of the UK Bleep and Bass dance scene is visiting New Zealand, Australia and Japan February '98... We're flying Cristian Vogel through NZ and Australia, Then he's off to Japan for more gigs and some recording (he's producing a virtual band... with it's members connected across the net). The Wellington gig will be a bit of an epic... in a sense, a hybrid between sweaty clubland and one of the larger warehouse styles... The music will be spread across 3 rooms, one with the new traditionalism of Cristians techno, the live works of LRS and Polarity, and the best of the upcoming tech djs in welly... upstairs will be a cross section of welly's future steppers (including a live set by 50Hz), While the very refined Matterhorn will be providing shooters and a bit of a beautific chill space... In Auckland, LRS and Agent99 are making their way up to support Cristian alongside locals Mechanism, Clone and Matrix at an environmentally enhanced Herzog...SciFi house comes to Auckland... Over an extended three hour set Cristian Vogel will pull you through his blender of wild vinyl cuts and mix desk slices... A perfect combination of fun and intensity... a madcap whirlwind of booming bouncing sonics and exhilarating looped rhythms... The Visit will be the biggest headrush you ever experience! Forget you preconceptions of what you think techno is... The Visit will take your definition of dance music and turn it on it's head! 25 Year old Cristian Vogel has prolific releases on Tresor Records of Germany (One of the definitive sources on the global techno scene) via his label Mosquito, under the No Future banner. Vogel was rated by Tresor as one of the top 6 djs internationally. No Future also houses the innovative, uncompromising and irrepressible talents of techno explorers Neil Landstrumm, Si Begg and Tobias Schmidt to name a few. The Gathering The dust has settled in Cannan Downs as the New Year and another Gathering passes... this one was wild - around eight thousand queued up Takaka hill for two days in scorching sun surrounded by six pounding sound systems... The Gathering brought together the cream on NZ talent in one place, for a very slickly organised event... Check out The Gathering website. I'm sure they'll have full info up there soon... Shouts out to Murray, Jose, Grant, Tim, Hamish the universal engineer, Janos, Ali, Penny, Tool Girl, Matt, Richie and the rest of the team for the best of times. A thought 1998 is the year it all goes mainstream. We are not in the position of having to push it uphill any more. The major labels, media, boy racers with in car PAs playing Aqua and great unwashed jumping on dance and claiming it as their own is doing that for us. Maybe it's time to just sit on the side of the hill for a while and enjoy the really good stuff while at the top they bicker about who's turn it is on the decks. The site will be updated less (around every two weeks), but when it is, it will be worth reading. Our main focus now is New Zealand producers and the few events that are truely worth attending. This is not an elitist stance, just that things are at the point where some filtering is required, although we'll include updates from people who Submit them (which is why the Crystal Method is in there!). If you want full information on what's on, check out Lava... they have it all (Hey, I'm not dissing Lava, they rock). On the upside, '97 saw a handful of good New Zealand releases... We'll be covering them here as we can, and making them available to Order. The latest addition to our catalog is Alloys by Christchurch trance/junglist Freq.
