MethLab Manchester - 31st May 2013 - Hosted by Sindrome

It's been 6 months since the last MethLab event in the UK and what a belter it was to!  The Neverlution Sound System really set the benchmark with that one.  You can see some video footage where they video mapped loads of MethLab visuals over the rig itself.  It was a sight to behold.  Check out the video here...

So, with the benchmark well and truly set, it's time to take MethLab up to the North of England, where our good friends Sindrome will be hosting another night of audio carnage in good ole Manchester. This time the event will be powered by the mighty Neuron Pro Soundsystem, so you can expect a seriously crystal clear sound with all the weight you'd ever need.

The line up, as you've come to expect from us by now, is set to cover all angles, by artists that are at the top of their game.
Ad Noiseam's new boy wonder, Gore Tech, and his Peace Off stablemate, Monster X, will be delivering the frentic breakcore we all know and love.
Sindrome hosts Xellmode & Sixlines will be showcasing an all new live techno set, plus a splattering of bass driven noise from Drilly Wonka.
The Sect need little introduction to all you DnB heads out there.  It will be hard and techy DnB that we at MethLab just adore.
Undead Roniin (aka The Teknoist & Scheme Boy) are planning another genre bending, decks vs ableton smasher.  This summer marks ten years since these two started working together and makes this event a special anniversary for them both.
Last, but certainly not least, we have our latest signing heading up the bill.  The one and only DJ Producer of Deathchant and Rebel Scum fame.  The DJ Producer has been synonymous with hardcore techno the world over for the past 20 years.  A true creator you could say.  Well for this night we have given him free reign to play what the hell he wants and we're sure he's keen to exploit that.

All in all, another MethLab line up to make you shit your pants.  See ya down the front punx!

The new CORE of MethLab

At MethLab, we've always had our toes dipped in to the worldwide Core arena as much as we have with cutting edge techy DnB and dub fused electronica. We've wanted to keep the roster as diverse as possible, whilst at the same time representing artists that could quite happily sit alongside each other at any rave in the world. We know the most discerning of you like variety as long as the quality is maintained. Well, quality is not something our roster lacks. All our artists are at the top of their game in their respective fields and our latest signings are certainly no exception.

Please welcome to the stage, The DJ Producer and Deathmachine!

Luke McMillan aka The DJ Producer

If you've been anywhere near the dirty end of techno in the past 20 years, you may know the name.
If you've been anywhere near a UK or European festival in the last 10 years, its more than likely you know the name.
But, if you've had any dealing with the underground hardcore techno scene since its conception, then you DEFINITELY know the name!

Luke has been in the game long enough and strong enough to have played pretty much EVERY relevant underground organisation there is to play for. Over 20 years in over 20 countries. Damn straight. But Luke's motivation is beyond purely clocking miles, or scratching notches on bedposts.
His passion for music stems way, way back, and his hunt for the elusive and exclusive cuts made him what he is, couple this with a devastating mixing technique that rivals most computers and his over keen spidey sense to adapt to the dance floors demands and you have one of the most enthralling jocks ever to emerge from the UK's murky underground depths........The music may be filthy, but Luke understands its every nuance intimately, and his performances demonstrate this....control freakery within chaos, and no sync buttonin sight :)

Stef Eyre aka Deathmachine

Stef has been actively involved in the underground Hardcore scene since 1998 and has now played at nearly every major Hardcore Techno event in the country.  He started dabbling in production around 2000 and released his first track on Corrupt records in 2001. The next few years were spent developing and experimenting but soon more tracks followed including notable releases on the iconic Rebelscum and Deathchant labels.  Soon, a connection was made with The DJ Producer who supported Deathmachine's sound greatly, and eventually they worked together on various releases which included the very successful track "Pixelshifter" on Rebelscum.

Always active in the studio, his focus is on creating powerful genre-pushing (but still of course danceable) music that engages the listener on a number of levels. At this time (start of 2013) there are forthcoming releases on Rebelscum (2 collaborations with The DJ Producer), Nekrolog1k Recordings, Future Sickness and more yet to be announced.

Deathmachine is currently working on his first solo album which will represent every dimension of Hardcore Techno that he knows and loves. His background in underground Hardcore along with his new work in the direction of Crossbreed and D'n'B results in great diversity both in the studio and in the clubs.
