FABRICE LIG jets in from Belgium for the next instalment of London techno event CLOSER!

Belgian talent Fabrice Lig is considered by his peers and techno fans around the globe as a world class producer. He is well known for his particularly funky use of Roland’s SH101 analog synth, and for his particularly emotional and personal melodies and harmonies which have seen him release tracks of scene-leading labels like KMS, F-Communications, 7th City Records and Playhouse Records.

After giving the gritty warehouse venue Halo a more than fitting set off at its sold-out New Year’s Eve event, Closer returns for its first party of 2008. Bringing London the classic, traditional sound of techno music that it is all too often lacking, the first year of Closer parties saw the likes of Kevin Saunderson, Luke Slater, James Ruskin, Colin Dale and Carl Cox’s right-hand-man Jon Rundell tear it up in some of London’s finest underground spaces – firmly planting it on the map of the capital’s electronic music scene.

Our headliner for this 2008 debut is one of the most prolific and acclaimed members of the legendary Underground Resistance organisation – a body founded in the early ‘90s by Jeff Mills and “Mad” Mike Banks that combined a world-beating record label and production team with political and social activism aims. Rolando (also known as The Aztec Mystic and a founding, now ex-member of Los Hermanos) first came to the attention of the dance music community in 1999, when he released his stunning, classic anthem ‘Jaguar’ – an inspired, soulful, melodic piece of techno music that’s still being played and remixed by all and sundry in 2008. The sublime track was ripped off note-for-note by Sony BMG, and although he received no compensation for their ruthless plagiarism, the exposure helped to catapult Rolando to worldwide fame. As a DJ he is highly skilled and accomplished – combining the rhythms of his Latin-American musical upbringing and of Detroit techno with the grooves of house music, all brought to life by his quick, tight mixing style. This appearance at Closer is one of only a handful of his confirmed DJ gigs worldwide over the next few months – and is guaranteed to be both an education and dancefloor riot.

Belgian talent Fabrice Lig is considered by his peers and techno fans around the globe as a world class producer. He is well known for his particularly funky use of Roland’s SH101 analog synth, and for his particularly emotional and personal melodies and harmonies which have seen him release tracks of scene-leading labels like KMS, F-Communications, 7th City Records and Playhouse Records. His considerable talents have seen him play at some of the world’s most prestigious clubs and festivals – from Fabric in London to Sonar in Barcelona, to Sub Club in Glasgow, to The Montreux Jazz Festival, to The Fuse-In Festival in Detroit (where his set was voted as the best of the entire festival). He has worked with legends of electronic music like Laurent Garnier and Jean Michel Jarre, and is a prestigious addition to the line-up.

Joining these two international guests will be our acclaimed resident Steve Strawberry, and his fellow Tilted Disco tunesmith Paul Coughlan, with more than ample support from MiMo & R U Dirty?’s formidable teams of resident DJs. Expect to here the full spectrum of techno music and tougher, underground house over the course of the night and across the 2 rooms.
