TECHPHONICS: Derrick May & Ben Klock: Friday 26 April

Cool interview with Detroit’s Derrick May!

"Wherever the music comes from ... if there's no focus behind it then it's just noise. And I know for a fact that this is true. I've been in this business for too long to not know what the f*ck I'm talking about. (...) If there's no Qi, you ain't got sh*t!" — DERRICK MAY"

Berlin's Ben Klock is coming to Adelaide for the first time. Resident at world famous club Berghain, Ben is known for his pure techno sounds and amazing journey sets. Check the video. Get to know!


Mixmag chats to Ben Klock:

Massively pumped for Ben Klock over here in Melbourne... I gotta work the day after though which worries me with the minimum 4 hour set... seems like Adelaide gets a better deal.

^^ Is Ben doing 4 hours there? That sounds like a great party with Eats Everything playing too!

hey Matt just wondering if Derrick will play for his normal 3 hours it went so quick at EC last time? was hoping for a repeat of the last show
same SOUND quality - same crowd - fuck that was a great night.

^ Last time Derrick ended up playing for 3 and a half hours!

Final set times are still TBC but will have Derrick for minimum 2.5 hours, Ben Klock for minimum 2 hours.

Internationals starting at 11pm so everyone advised to get in early!

We have the gurus from Novatech sorting the sound so should be sounding spot on

Hi all, I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who came along on Friday night & supported the TechPhonics event with Derrick May & Ben Klock.

This was a bit different to my normal shows with two big internationals and a new venue for me. I sure had a great time, and hope you all did too! Thanks in particular to Nik-C and PhilDdrumz who both helped out with a bunch of things.

The Fowlers venue worked well and I have to give a big thank you shout to Leko & Novatech Creative Event Technology for bringing in the sound & lighting – the room looked and sounded great. I think if your room isn’t sounding good then you’re not trying hard enough! (and should give Novatech a call)!

Derrick loves Adelaide and really enjoyed himself, and Ben loved it too for his first time here. They both played awesome sets in their respective styles! I’ll be uploading all the pics from the night to my TechPhonics page in the next day or so, so check in and have a look, and stay tuned for announcements for more TechPhonics parties in the future!

In the meantime you can catch the TechPhonics sound online every Tuesday night 6-8pm with my show on SoundPond.net.

Thanks again! Xx

All the photos from Friday night are up on our TechPhonics facebook page: check them out!
