Event information

/// With the original Eclectric having split last year into Eclectricity at the Cellar (playing electro/fidget house/bassline/party bangers) and Eclectric at Love Bar (a dark, pulsating mess of techno, minimal, tech-house and sparse dubstep), it only made sense to use this as an excuse to celebrate our third birthday not once, but TWICE. Keep your eyes peeled for Part II in early May - an absurdly exciting booking heading up the Eclectricity side of things - but for now, read on for what the first installment of techno, minimal and deep bass has in store. ///


+++++ CLARO INTELECTO (LIVE) [Modern Love]
- http://www.claro-intelecto.com

Mark Stewart first made an appearance under his Claro Intelecto pseudonym in early 2003 - his remarkable “Peace of Mind” 12” fast becoming the most discussed dancefloor debut for years and enjoying re-presses now heading for double figures. In 2005 he became a well-respected member of the Modern Love label family. His productions are club-honed, taking in influences from Warehouse classics that accompanied him in Manchester's internationally revered clubs like the Hacienda, Home and Paradise Factory. His "Warehouse Sessions" series has gained him the much coveted No.1 spot in Berlin's Groove Magazine for the third volume in the series. His last album "Metanarrative" was released in October 2007 and garnered high praise from critics such as Resident Advisor:

"Pounding, floor-friendly and sharply produced, Intelecto's Warehouse Sessions delved into the darker sides of techno and electro, but Metanarrative is something different again. Where Sessions was functional, Metanarrative is emotional, although, in typical Intelecto style, distilled from an extensive array of influences—electro, IDM, Detroit techno, dub techno."
— Janet Leyton-Grant (residentadvisor.net)

Claro Intelecto will be performing a LIVE SET, in a rare treat of live, intricate, deep electronica in Oxford. Fans of the more intelligent side of techno, minimal, tech-house and IDM are urged not to miss this.


+++++ ROB HALL [Gescom/Skam/Autechre tour DJ]
