Greg Wilson - www.electrofunkroots.co.uk
Subject & Discotekken team up to bring one of the worlds most renowned DJs to Dublin; Greg Wilson. Greg began his DJ career at age 15 in Manchester in the mid '70s, playing soul, funk & disco. In the '80s he took up a residency at the now infamous Wigan Pier club as the in-house jazz-funk specialist, before later going on to champion the electronic, post-disco sounds of early '80s NYC, which he dubbed 'electro-funk'. He was a pioneer of mixing in the UK and in 1983 became the first 'dance music' DJ hired for a regular weekly session at Manchester's now legendary Hacienda club. In 2003 Greg setup his website electrofunkroots.co.uk to help document the evolution of dance music & the rise of early electro. Later in the year he returned to his old position behind the turntables and began to gig again regularly. In 2005 he released an LP entitled 'Credit To The Edit' on Tirk Recordings, which gained him a whole new legion of fans internationally. Since then demand has been high, which has resulted in many high profile gigs around the world, further releases & a very well received Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1. Nominated by DJ magazine for outstanding contribution, and also named amongst their top twenty remixers of all-time, Greg's edits and mixes continue to feature on the playlists of DJs in every continent. This is a chance to see one of the worlds most celebrated DJs perform on the Twisted Pepper stage, on the much loved VOID soundsystem.

Steffi - www.myspace.com/steffiklakson
Embracing to music, art and counter-culture, Dutch born DJ and producer and label owner Steffi has become an important figure in the realms of contemporary club music.

With the experience that comes with promoting underground parties for over a decade, and running two successful labels - Klakson, and her new Dolly imprint - Steffi has also developed a natural and professional balance between DJing and producing.

As a resident of Berlin's Panorama Bar she forged a growing a relationship with the club's label, Ostgut Ton. Building up her production knowledge and collection of gear since her move to Berlin in 2007, she now has a fully fledged studio in which she has created a very respectable sound indeed.

Her warm, classic-inspired and analog-proud productions have featured as various singles on the label and her first full-length artist album, „Yours & Mine“ plants her firmly on the map as a deft hand at song writing and production. Tracks like the unmistakable „Yours“ featuring Virginia, or pumping warehouse moments like „Mine“ and „Nightspacer“ are undeniably impressive, as is the entire album; an emotional journey reflecting her love for real, uncompromised club music.

Steffi also collaborated with the dedicated Restoration Records as „Third Side“ alongside Lucretio and Marieu, offering up a raw and historic 4 tracker. Also branching out on US label Underground Quality, her smooth night-driving 'Reasons' EP again features Virginia's wonderful vocal encouragement. Steffi's productions explore the many channels of her love with house music, just as you will also hear when you see her controlling the sound system in the club.

Always presenting a rich, versatile selection with her skillful, creative mixing style, Steffi continues to distill her huge knowledge and love for this music into her DJ performances. With increased touring and world-wide appearances becoming more and more regular, while also maintaining her residencies in Berlin and at Berns Salonger in Stockholm, Steffi is a talented, passionate and aware member of today's music culture. A culture whose very strength relies on dedicated artists such as herself.

Prosumer - www.myspace.com/prosumer
Achim Brandenburg aka Prosumer lives in Berlin, he is an expert in classic Chicago House and Detroit Techno. He gained this expertise first as a fervent record buyer at Saarbrücken’s Hard Wax branch, where he later started working behind the counter. It was the heyday of labels like Prescription and Relief, the time for soulful house music, which still can be heard in Prosumer’s sets today.

"My heart is beating for the early Chicago-Detroit-Techno and for music that feels similar and transports this feeling into today. Generally, I like producers who cordially follow their feeling and who work on a personal style which rather caters for longeivity, than a momentary kick. To know one’s trade isn’t a disadvantage at all.“

Slowly, the consumer turned into Prosumer, who by the way is a character in Alvin Toffler’s visionary sci fi novel '3rd Wave', in which the term 'Techno' has allegedly been used for the first time ever. Prosumer is not only djing, but producing as well. His debut is released on Swayzak’s 240 Volt label in 2004. A year later he released 'The Craze' on Playhouse, which turned into a veritable hit record, followed by remixes for e.g. DJ T. and collaborations with Murat Tepeli or Sebo K, for who Prosumer contributed his charismatic vocals.

"Whatever I do has got to be real. If a record doesn’t move me emotionally or physically, I won’t play it out. I have to feel the music and I’m always trying to share my feelings with the crowd on the floor. If everything goes down well, there’s an exchange going on. I try to keep a balance between pushing people’s buttons and surprising them. It’s all about having a good time together. I’m sharing my inner emotions..."

Quality

Was it good??

Raging I missed it! Hope he will be back soon

One of the best nights the TP has had in my opinion. I only arrived at around 12 so I missed a good hour and a half but from 12-3 its was absolutely knock-out stuff. The crowd went crazy for "Yours". Unbelievable night, rightly revered as two of the best in the business after that display. Fingers crossed for another booking soon.

Felt a bit sorry for Greg Wilson trying to compete with them but he seemed to be in good form two (for the 10 minutes I saw of him!).

Ah you see I would have been going to see Greg Wilson !! Love him!
