Ready to conquer the world – Placed firmly at the epicenter of Bristol’s currently buoyant house music scene, Shanti Celeste (real name Shanti Maass) has proven herself as a multi-talented DJ, producer, and label head over the course of the past 12 months. The Chilean-born artist has gradually become of the UK’s finest purveyors of swung and funky electronic music – a natural connoisseur of all things house, disco, techno, and electro.

Shanti Celeste will open the PLUS Floor, followed by Luke Hess this Saturday at CRUISE, 11/11/17.

 

Born in 1980 in Metro Detroit and subject to the city’s mid-90’s warehouse parties, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement. His background in mathematics and engineering has given him a scientific approach to the dance-floor, using frequencies, tones, and soundscapes to transform surroundings and mood. Luke Hess will play with Shanti Celeste on the PLUS Floor at this saturdays CRUISE, 11/11/17.

 

In techno circles, Cassegrain shouldn’t need too much of an introduction. With a label résumé that includes, among others, Prologue, Infrastructure New York, Killekill, and Ostgut Ton — as well as highly regarded performances at Berghain, Village Underground, and Output — they’ve more than stamped their name on the scene. Alex Tsiridis and Hüseyin Evirgen — the two artists behind Cassegrain — formed the project after a chance meeting at the Redbull Music Academy in Barcelona. In the years following, they collaborated remotely via email, sending stems back and forth before making a move to Berlin where they currently share a studio. Back in May 2016, the duo folded a former secret alias and launched it as a label under the same name, Arcing Seas. The first release was ARCS-01, an intense and varied three-tracker of warped beauty. A second release will be out in a few months, followed by a third shortly after—a testament to the duo’s relentless work ethic. Although Tsiridis and Evirgen obviously have an affinity for collaboration—the pair also work alongside Tin Man, a relationship that has delivered a handful of EPs and standout live shows—they are also now stepping out as solo artists. Evirgren’s first record as Magna Pia was released via Counterchange at the beginning of September, and in a couple of weeks, Tsiridis will release as Rhyw on Rotterdam’s Tar Hallow. (by Luke Cheadle, XLR8R)

Berlin based trio ItaloJohnson like to keep themselves to themselves. Despite this, the raw analogue music they have released on their own eponymous label has won them many fans in recent times. And it’s easy to see why, because it bulges with charm be it a loopy techno banger, bouncy house cut or something more cerebral, exclusively released on vinyl 12” and 10”s. As DJ’s their ears are as well attuned as they are in the booths of the most respected clubs in the world, where the three of them excel at lacing together pumping, dancefloor wrecking DJ sets over extended periods of time that lean on the best that house and techno has to offer. This friday, 10/11/17, they will play together with Julietta & Zenker Brothers at Blitz!

DJ Stingray has been a strong presence in the world of techno for over twenty years. Growing up in Detroit, this school friend and DJ partner of Kenny Dixon Jr. realised his Urban Tribe project in 1991 with the now classic ‘Covert Action’, a track released on Retroactive’s seminal ‘Equinox’ compilation, a milestone in the city’s rich technosoul history. A couple of years later London’s Mo’Wax label released his debut album ‘The Collapse Of Modern Culture’, which featured collaborations with friends and peers such as Anthony ‘Shake’ Shakir, Moodymann and Carl Craig. We can’t wait to see DJ Stingray behind BLITZ’ decks on 04/11/17 with La Staab & Freddy K!

Friday, we’re in love! See you on the dancefloor with FJAAK, Jenus & nd_baumecker friday, 03/11/17.

For over 20 years now, brothers Ali and Basti Schwarz have been moving the masses with their delightfully clever take on dance music – both from the DJ booth and from behind the mixing board. Two decades later, the brothers, known as Tiefschwarz, show absolutely zero signs of slowing, with their future-forward electronic music remaining as influential as ever. Tiefschwarz will take over the PLUS Floor at Blitz Music Club this saturday, 04/11/17!

The Berlin-based trio of hardware heads have been constantly making a name for themselves over the last half a decade. Having grown up together in Spandau on the outskirts of Berlin, Felix Wagner, Aaron Röbig and Kevin Kozicki began quite early to create all different kinds of music before ending up taking on the city’s heritage – techno – to make it their own. Despite their young age FJAAK have played over 200 live shows, spreading their elaborate analogue sound all around the globe. From Los Angeles to Beijing, from SXSW back to Berghain, FJAAK were there to deliver what has become their trademark: raw, naturally crafted techno! We are more than happy to start into November with FJAAK, nd_Baumecker and Jenus this Friday, 03/11/17.

Recently, Richie Hawtin, the pioneer of 90’s techno, announced an intimate club tour through Germany. He stops in Dresden, Rostock, Leipzig, Cologne, Erfurt and at Blitz Music Club in Munich on 24/11/17.

Richie Hawtin is a genuine original. His critical acclaim spans the creative realm of the fine art community to the technological vanguard. Meanwhile, as a performing artist, he is constantly pushing conceptual frontiers, moving things forward, welcoming as many as he can to ideas and experiences that would have seemed pure science fiction when he began his career.

A strictly limited amount of presale tickets for this special night we are really looking forward to is available now! The ticket link can be found in “program” on our website.

The vinyl of Blitz Resident Dario Zenkers first solo 12″ in 2 years is out now on Ilian Tape!
