PLASTIK presents Christian Vance LIVE - Sugar Feb 18th

The 3rd installment of Plastik brings you a special night at Sugar with the appearance of Christian Vance for the first time in Adelaide playing live.

For years Christian has manifested the ethos of Detroit techno in Melbourne which has led him to become a cornerstone in the Melbourne electronic scene. His layered, emotional and instantly recognisable sounds have lead to his praise in both the Australian and global electronic community.

From humble beginnings, he has furthered his career and worked with some of the biggest names worldwide including Joris Voorn, Kenny Larkin, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Jeff Mills, and live artists such as Aril Brikha, Alex Smoke, Vince Watson and Fabrice Lig.

August last year saw him perform live around Europe including the famous Tresor club (Berlin), and more recently in Melbourne with Carl Craig. Christian’s music has brought him much success since 2008 with releases on hAUL music, Ripperton's label Perspectiv, and Versatile records.

Christian’s music is identified by deep chord sequences and synced-up jazz beats over a constant synthetic pulse. His live show’s consist of seamless slippages from soundtrack-like atmosphere to Deep House, Detroit Techno, and Minimal-esque rhythms, offering his audience a point of departure.

A show that is not to be missed!

Also on the night Pete Finger will be celebrating the launch of his first official 2 track release “The Singularity” on his label Night Time Drama. Plus support from Electronic Soul DJ's Trav Bell and Trebek...


Doors open at 9pm

Looking forward to the next one!

yeah pete was the standout set for me. brought it home in style!

i had a great night, loved christian's live set, albeit totally software based (had it in my head there'd be some proper hardware business, not sure why!). spent the entire time dancing

i thought the crowd was pretty odd. was my first time to sugar and the vast majority of people seemed to not be paying any attention at all to the amazing music.

loved the dj after christian too, he played some awesome stuff!

i must also say the bouncer on the door was probably the best bouncer i've ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

was also fantastic to walk about 50m home after the night and then accidentally passed-out on the couch...

great work plastik and very much looking forward to the next one!!

Argh, missed this one - should have been paying attention to the forums :/... this is the first I've been on since I came back from overseas.

Looking forwards to the next one... in April? Actually, is there anything sooner than the Flux launch?

Sugar has a bad reputation for this, Claude Von Stroke has put it down as one of his worst gigs ever...

when did he play there?

actually sugar has a pretty good reputation for its open minded crowd. most internationals love playing there and always come back.

yep, Sugar is getting a very good rap from all visiting DJ's/Producers....I thought the Claude Von Stroke farce was when he played at the Electric Light Hotel

Nope, it was Sugar... maybe 2005? I was one of the few there. Has he even ever played at Electric Light??? (he played at Electric Circus once tho)

The article is floating around on ITM.

I'd hardly say it has a bad rap because of that tho, it was just one weird booking that wasn't promoted well, hence people not there to see him.

I thought the Claude Von Stroke farce was when he played at the Electric Light Hotel

There was a big farce with Meat Katie at Electric Light (where he ranted online about it)

What's this Meat Katie farce I keep hearing about? I reckon I was overseas when it happened so I must've missed it.

Well I'll be thats a clusterf*ck. Isn't the guy that was managing ELH back then still heavily involved in lots of Fringe/Pubs etc.?


I remember the Future where Diggers played early arvo ELH being offered Digweed for just a couple of grand to play afterwards, they turned it down (would've been the same guys in charge).

Yeah its a guy called Ross. Runs the Fringe venue Arcade Lane and the Ed Castle

Yeah I know the guy, used to spend a lot of time around that place, half of my friends seemed to work there too.

I actually have a sneaking suspicion one of my best mates was the bar manager that night too.

As much shit as that pub gets I had a ball playing there every Friday till it shutdown last year, since Nick & Marcus took over I never once got told what to play.

Even if I was banging out techno to a shitfaced pubcrawl they let me go (altho eventually the mountain of requests would make me stop)

Anyways, I'm taking this thread way off topic.

That dudes reply, is epic... I especially like the part where he said I'm not trying to shoot you down here, but I fucking know. Brilliant :rainman:

Arcade lane is a pretty cool venue actually. Nice atmosphere and good sound. Alleys make for nice acoustics! Be good to see a proper house/techno party there!

I remember our Atomitek show in arcade lane in 2010.. was an epic space to play in!!
