    Dear friends,

    we are really glad to announce, that despite the recent events around WMF’s closing last week, our party will take place on the 26th of March. And we got even better news for you! We extended the line-up, so that you can expect even more bass from the grand seignior of post-rave Cylob and Berlin’s own high-priest of bass Ziggy! We moved the event to the „Goldener Saal“ (inside Tacheles) and thanks to the help of BlackBoxMusic we will have a pretty sweet PA to stimulate your ears. Expect a night full of braindance, squarestep, ghettodub and jungletech!
    Now it’s your turn: Show up and dance! We are looking forward to it.

    Cheers,
    Bass Contortion & The Centrifuge

    -INFO-

    We are proud to present you the first german show of Wisp, Aphex Twin’s favourite artist and Rephlex Records new poster child! His profile exploded last year after his two highly-anticipated albums Rephlex Records emerged, revealing new electro/techno influences to his sound that is tweaked to move feet, tickle minds and break hearts on the dancefloor. Come and see what the fuss is about!
    Making music since 1993, most of Cylob’s records can be called timeless masterpieces. He released on legendary labels, collaborated with legendary artists and he is, without hesitation, a legend himself. Expect nothing less from his sets.
    With them on stage will be Hecq, Berlin’s bass boy-wonder. His musical oeuvre makes him one of Germany’s leading electronic artists, with albums discovering the fields of post-rave electronica to contemporary classical music. His upcoming EP on Ad Noiseam will set new standards in what we know today as Dubstep.

    Furthermore the united force of the Contortion and The Centrifuge crew will entertain you throughout the night, too. Puzzle is our man from Sweden, bringing psychedelic hip-hop glitch-beats to the masses, Ziggy is as jiggy as usual and will contort your synapses with his bass extravaganza, Jade Monkey will show you that dubstep is an anagram for „freak-out“ and Missaw will bring the funk in bottles and pour in everyone who is ready to boogie down.

    The Centrifuge returns to London after a half-year hiatus from club nights, in which time they have taken their quirky brand of challenging yet accessible live electronic music to the global stage. Having upped sticks and moved HQ to Berlin at the start of 2010, the good word has been spreading far and wide. Now they are back in their old stomping ground with nothing less than a stellar lineup to celebrate the climax and finale of WISP’s first European Tour of the new decade.

    And what a decade it is shaping up to be for WISP! Hailing from Niagra Falls in the USA, his profile exploded last year after his first two highly-anticipated albums for Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label emerged, revealing new electro/techno influences to his sound that is tweaked to move feet, tickle minds and break hearts on the dancefloor. 2009 also saw 2 huge UK shows with Aphex Twin and a North American tour with Venetian Snares, both of which are amongst his biggest fans. Come and see what the fuss is about!

    As if that wasn’t enough, we have another FOUR (count ’em!) live acts in support of Wisp. RIVAL CONSOLES makes the first appearance of many under The Centrifuge’s banner, bringing his ultra-catchy synth lines and funked-up drum machine workouts. A true star in the making. MRS JYNX touches down from Manchester with her timeless take on pastoral electronica, retro-electro melody wizard OXYNUCID is exlusively road testing this summer’s festival live set and ROTODRONE plays his first-ever live show, previewing his amazing new album forthcoming on The Centrifuge. missaw provides DJ support for the main attractions.

    In Room 2, the ever-excellent electronic music blog null+void present a lineup bridging the gap between electro, acid, dubstep and drum’n’bass with Militant Science head honcho PAUL BLACKFORD and SCRASE performing live alongside hardware fiend TUDOR ACID and DJs Ursa and Kiersty.

    Room 3 is hosted by Neon Skullz & Pollinate Records…Bad bwoy tribalmashupbashment. Japanese dubtronic genius duo DOKKEBI Q lay down a tasty headline show just before their debut album is released! THIS ROOM IS: global ghetto beats slashed, smashed and slammed against fuck off ragga-tronics and blistering bassline bubblers!

    See you down the front!

    The Centrifuge Radio Show TONIGHT 10pm GMT with exclusive mix from EOD.

    Tune in at www.Brap.FM for two hours of cutting edge electronix hosted by DJ Ursa with a real treat in store – a special guest mix from Norweigan acid prodigy EOD.

    A talent very much in the ascendancy, EOD has recently had tracks out on Kvist Records and the consistently excellent 030303 label. He might not be a household name yet, but a certain VERY FAMOUS acid musician (can you guess who?) has been dropping EOD tracks in his DJ sets all the way through 2009. Big things to come from this one…DO NOT MISS THIS!
