** Unfortunately, due to visa issues Shlømo can no longer make it. Newa and NDRX step up, playing a rare b2b in his place.

France’s I Hate Models has become one of the marquee names pushing an industrial flavored neo-rave sound. His music moves with cathartic abandon, jettisoning genre constrictions for pure emotional impact. On his own Disco Inferno label, IHM has carved out a niche of pure artistic integrity, bringing a much-needed freshness to techno. Bassiani residents Newa and NDRX are some of Europe’s most notable talents. Newa’s music boils and undulates with a threatening spaciousness. Her productions for such essential labels as Semantica and Ben Klock’s own Klockworks highlight a subtle and controlled touch. NDRX’s darkly-grooving techno brings a twitchy paranoia and an unmistakable urgency to the fore, while his pacing makes his booking an unmissable event. NY’s KYRUH has made quick work of New York, establishing herself as one of the city’s standouts over the last year-and-change. Her sets are thrilling adrenaline rushes, pushing tempos and sound systems alike. Yet she shows a remarkable discipline as well, maintaining total control of the energy at all times.
