The inimitable DJ Harvey returns to Knockdown Center for another headlining set. Few artists harness the libidinous, liberatory spirit of disco quite like Harvey does. He brings the swagger of a rock star and the skill of a veteran to the booth. Do not miss this one.
Pan-Pot returns to Knockdown Center in what has become an annual tradition. The German unit stands as one of the most popular and definitive acts in the modern techno landscape. With over two decades of activity under their belt, the duo has proven themselves to be truly timeless; they’re ever-evolving while never losing sight of the elegant, assured chemistry that makes them stand out.
Pan-Pot turned heads right from the start. Tracks like “Charly” and “Popy & Caste” went all-in on a harder, darker strain of minimal techno, building whole worlds around ultra-crisp sonics and supple, undeniable grooves. This tense, alluring quality has remained a constant throughout their career as Pan-Pot have pushed the grandeur and scale to new heights. Last year saw the release of “Forte,” a full length that charts a course through soaring, even cinematic techno. Knockdown Center is proud to welcome them back for the third year in a row.
The most anticipated event in Grenada is heading to NYC. So get your flag, your jab, and look out for Labor Day Saturday!
