It's like Deja-vu all over again....back in April 2006, Tory Pierce, like so many others from the Minus crew, made his Irish debut at Electric City alongside Donnacha Costello. At least when we copy things, we copy ourselves & not other promoters two years ago or whatever. Then 2007, he was back again with, who else - none other than Donnacha Costello - who says we're lazy-arsed promoters ? Third-time and it's 2009 and the man like Pierce is back in the EC zone once again. This time the support comes courtesy of Eddie 'Edward' Brennan and the return of prodigal man about Europe, Skkatter.

After being raised in the cornfields of Indiana and brought up on Midwest house & techno (Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Derrick Carter, D-Wynn), Troy Pierce became a bit jaded by ten years in New York where the struggling minimal techno scene consisted of a handful of die-hard fanatics going against the diva-tribal-tech-house of a city that has seen it's day musically. Berlin seemed like the logical solution, go to the source. Troy is 1/3 of Run.Stop.Restore - the collective which also features Magda & Marc Houle. Troy was also the man with the plan behind the Slacknoise release on M-Nus from last year. He featured under both these guises on the scene-defining 'Minimize to Maximize' compilation on M_Nus which was released to worldwide acclaim last year.

Since his last appearance, Troy (aka Slacknoise & Louderbach) has released the killer Gone Astray album and remixed Heartthrob, The Knife, Depeche ****ing Mode, Cybotron's electro classic 'Clear', and eh Tiga which was on ehhhhhh Global Underground...anyway PLUR, he's also the Minus crews' DJ of choice and if you've heard the 'Nothing Much And Something More' Mix CD on Minus, you know why. Deep track selection skills, smooth wavelength (Quinn!) building up to a c-c-c-crescendoooo. A dynamite mix on Resident Advisor earlier this year also caught our attention and it's good reminder his trax of choice extend beyond the best-of-beatport.

Edward Brennan, the man who puts the try into triathlons will be kicking things off before getting playing a selection of the best tunes that haven't even been made yet, with his latest gadget from Thomann, he will be receiving tracks by Bluetooth from the brains of his favourite producers. He will then remix them live in his own cortex before they boomerang on to the spinning plates of mercury suspended by invisible wires from the 7th dimension spacetable (on sale now from Aquarius in Leixlip). Coming from Berlin, a place even more advanced than the Future, Skkatter will be playing some choice tracks which may have previously seen the light of the day at his regular (Ryanair-sanctioned) Doctor Pong's club in the middling middle of Mitte.
