Made Event presents Italian techno stalwart MARCO CAROLA with MARTIN BUTTRICH (live) at intimate dance music boîte Cielo on Friday, October 19th, 2007.

With a vast array of production credits and a whole host of labels under his belt (Design, 1000, Zenit, Question, Do.Mi.No), Marco Carola has emerged in the last decade to be one of Italy’s most influential exports of techno and electronic music. As a DJ, he says “I think my style’s always been changing. I started with house music, I went tribal techno, and now I can say I play more minimal techno. I can say that I’ve never really been going through trends. From my background, from house to techno, I would call it a new house or a new techno, this is what I call it right now. It’s been a little difficult in the last 2 years to let people know I’m not playing that hard. But the old crowd seems to accept the new sound – when I’m sampling minimal, it doesn’t mean I’m sampling boring minimal; I always keep my funky side.” Carola released his debut mix compilation last year on Fabric’s venerated club series, Fabric 31, truly cementing his global DJ standing. Now with his new label Do.Mi.No, with 12 releases planned in the series, Carola is unleashing his more minimal side of music.

Martin Buttrich has been involved in such a large number of productions since his early days in Hanover circa 1995. Since then he has collaborated with many artists, most famously with Timo Maas and Loco Dice, as well as delivering high end Italo House for labels such as AM:PM, Twisted and Defected as Sounds of Life with Andy Bolleshon. Buttrich was so prolific in fact, he started a trend of delivering a record in one alias and remixing it himself under another. Now with his own productions storming on Steve Bug's highly prized imprint, Pokerflat, Four:Twenty Recordings and on the absolutely legendary and truly old school label Planet E run by Paperclip People wizard Carl Craig, Buttrich is poised to embrace his own underground notoriety.

In July 2007, Martin Buttrich and Dice founded the Düsseldorf-based label Desolat. Both Dice and Buttrich had a long-standing artistic career in music before they decided to take a challenge and create a platform to release music they like independently and quickly. The first release on Desolat comes from Dubfire (aka Ali Shirazinia) – one half of the electronic music duo Deep Dish. The legend says that Dubfire created RibCage after he heard one Loco Dice DJ set at DC 10 in Ibiza.
