Gary Beck - Soma/M_NUS/Edit-Select

Support in the main room from Residents Jamie Kidd and Bruno FK

After having Perc rip Compakt apart in May, we now bring glasgow born Gary Beck into town for some tech shenannigans. Gary falls in line with our policy of bringing fresh and exciting names in the world of techno to Edinburgh.

Gary has been producing his own enticing class of electronic music since early 2002. With a god-like tech set-up utilizing a number of keyboards, drum machines, hardware synths and software programs, Gary’s first release ‘Stick to the Reggae’ was quickly signed up by Philadelphia Dub House label ‘Worship Recordings’, home to artists such as Hakan Lidbo, Pete Moss and Hipp-E.

Since then Gary has refined his sound further and gone on to record for Djinxx’s Mezzotinto, London’s Fine Art Recordings, Percy X’s Edit-Select and Perc Trax amongst others. His tracks have received worldwide praise from the biggest names in house and techno, from Richie Hawtin and James Holden to Laurent Garnier, Sven Vath, and Yousef. His DJ and live sets are a breed apart, fusing bass driven techno with quirky, experimental house to rapturous effect.


With further remixes, DJ dates and releases on the horizon for labels such as M_nus, Somabeta and Edit-Select, 2009 is set to be a huge year for Gary. Aside from his recordings under his own moniker Gary also produces under the pseudonym ‘Ruskin Franks’ to set free the more down-tempo, experimental side of his music.
