(EVENT) DETROIT TECHNO, DEEP HOUSE: Anthony “Shake” Shakir Live in Sydney
Tickets $20+BF: http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?287280
Detroit producer Anthony “Shake” Shakir is one of the more under recognized, underappreciated names in American techno. A bedroom producer since 1981, Shake had an important role in helping shape the early Motor City sound associated with artists such as Juan Atkins/Model 500 and Derrick May. He worked with May and Carl Craig as a producer, writer, or engineer on several early tracks on Metroplex, and worked in management and A&R for the label (as well, he’s often joked, as being the janitor) during its formative years. His first solo material appeared on Virgin’s seminal Techno Sound of Detroit compilation, under the name Sequence 10. Known as something of a techno purist, Shake has distanced himself from the European scene many of his colleagues have turned to for support (this accounts somewhat for his continuing obscurity), and his music is stylistically closer to second wave artists such as Mike Banks and Claude Young – hard, stripped-down tracks which owe equally to techno, electro, hip-hop, and funk.
Shake’s visibility and reputation have risen in more recent years as a result of his Frictional and Puzzlebox labels, the latter of which he formed in 1996 with fellow Detroit electro/techno producer Keith Tucker (formerly of Aux 88). Releasing a series of records both solo and in combination (usually under the name Da Sampla), Shake and Tucker’s Puzzlebox has, along with Underground Resistance and Guidance, become one of the more coveted sources of straight-up, no-bones Detroit techno.
Thanks to Rush Hour Records – the “Shake” has had a new lease on life and with the amazing compliation – “Frictionalism” earlier in 2010, this sky rocketed Shakir back into the scene.
This is Anthony first time in Australia and we are very excited to be able to show case his talents. Anthony amazing production plus his amazing energy and DJ skills behind the decks will make this a very special night.
Along side Anthony we have Joe Stanley and Daniel Lupica.

It is time to not only celebrate the safe return of all our fine troops but also to raise our glasses in honour of one of our militia’s top commanders. On this night we would like to help commemorate yet another year on this fine wonderful planet for none other than Lieutenant Fernandes.
To help celebrate, our new allies, the ZULU WARRIORS have been asked to perform a unique and empowering number of their warrior chant dance numbers live in the flesh with nothing else to derive the sounds but their hand made drums and their voices to energetically get us all up on our feet wailing the night away!
WE ASSURE YOU… these warriors will set your feet on fire!
And to help us maintain the velocity of our feet on the night, our Reception Marshals have asked Lieutenant Dave Fernandes himself as well as Lieutenant Dean Dixon to take to manning the wheels of our tanks, to spin the dials of our operating systems and to pull the triggers of our anti-aircraft guns to help us light up the night in fine fashion and with an artistry of noises to have each and every single one of you beating your chests, pounding those terrifying thoughts of battle out, and reaching for that starry night sky!

Joey Beltram (Wiki)
Joey Beltram (born November 6, 1971 in Queens, New York City, United States) is an American DJ and record producer, best-known for the pioneering recordings “Energy Flash” and “Mentasm”.
Mentasm, co-produced with Mundo Muzique, became iconic within rave culture, as it was the track that gave birth to the “mentasm riff” (also known as the “Hoover sound“): a churning, dirgelike synth pattern that wormed into techno’s communal genome and has since been mutated and reused in literally thousands of records.[citation needed] Beltram and the “mentasm riff” are strongly associated with drum and bass, the Belgian techno scene, and the R&S record label, as well as hardcore/hard house in their various permutations since 1994.[citation needed] Beltram was referenced as a pioneer in the late 1990s house music scene by Daft Punk, in their song “Teachers” off their 1997 debut album, Homework and author, Simon Reynolds, credited Beltram with having “revolutionized techno twice before the age of 21,[1]” when describing both “Energy Flash” and “Mentasm” in his book Generation Ecstasy.
Throughout the years, Beltram has continually toured at major festivals around the globe.[2] He has also continued releasing techno, with his 1993 and 1994 tracks “Aonox” on Visible and “the Beltram re-releases” on Trax, the “Caliber” EP on Warp, and his 1995 LP Places and 1996 single, “Ball Park” on Tresor counting among his work in the 1990s. He was also invited to release another album, Close Grind, on Daniel Miller’s Novamute imprint under the JB³ alias.[3]
In 1999, he launched his own label STX[4] with Arena, while he continued to release under Code 6 and JB³, as well as headlining events such as Awakenings, Coachella, Nature One, Mayday and Dance Valley. Returning to Tresor in 2004, he released the album Rising Sun. And he has kept up a busy release schedule ever since, with tracks on Womb, Harthouse, Drumcode, MB Electroniks, and Bush. Perhaps his best-selling single of recent times is his remix of Oliver Huntemann’s “Shanghai Spinner,” which hit the Beatport Top 10 in 2009.[5] It was also included in Simian Mobile Disco‘s Essential Mix at the beginning of 2010.[6]
