Big Dish Go and Teknowarfare collaborate again to bring a line up to wet the lips of any bass n beats addict and to bring on that warm fuzzy feeling of excitement to the Irish contingent readying themselves for the now annual electronic music pilgrimage to the UK’s inspiring “Bloc weekend”. Any of the guests on the night are worthy of a headline slot; Ed Chamberlain’s music has been likened to Aphex Twin, he's been labelled "the saviour of Electro" and his tracks have been remixed and played to death by Surgeon. Not bad for someone with only a handful of releases to his name. Also we welcome back Luke’s Anger, a man who at this stage needs little introduction other than that he is undoubtedly one of the masters of heavy fun on and off the dancefloor. If that wasn’t enough, representing the phenomenal talent found on these shores, tipped for the top by Donal Dineen and doing big things in Cork with his own night “Electric Underground”, we have Kevin Blake. All three artists are playing 1 hour live shows. What a gig!


Luke’s Anger
(Tigerbeat / Bonus Round)

Luke originally started out playing guitar and like many teens in the mid-nineties ended up selling it for some 1210s and began DJing. Experimented with tracker software on the Amiga, then bought an Akai sampler and made some jungle. Later rumoured to be involved with Molotov soundsystem, their music was influenced by Leicester crews Uglyfunk and BWPT.Currently records and gigs under the pseudonym 'Luke's Anger'. Under this guise he has produced and released an array of tracks spanning back to 2004.

He performs an original Live PA using a combination of hardware and software to deliver spontaneous and dancefloor-freindly techno, once described as "wonkier than a table with three legs and grimier than an army truck!". His gigs have taken him all over Europe, the U.S and just about every dirty corner and muddy festival of the U.K. Luke also runs well-respected label - Bonus Round, focusing on releasing quirky and challenging dancefloor tracks.

Ed Chamberlain
(Baselogic)

Mixing pensive melody with strong electro beats, Ed Chamberlain’s production stands apart from the rest. He remains a member of the Baselogic crew, of "Bloc Weekend" fame. Ed has been garnering for sometime now a reputation for some incredible dance floor-friendly electronic music. A slew of releases on Base Logic as well appearances on Combat and Fleeced display an ability to fuse warm, melodic synth sounds with glitched-up breakbeats ranging from hip-hop to electro without becoming too self-indulgent.

His live sets have proved to be incredibly popular not just at large-scale events like BLOC, Glastonbury and Glade but across Europe and beyond. His name has been familiar to the techno community for sometime as his tracks have regularly featured in sets from the likes of Surgeon, Regis, James Ruskin and Ben Sims to name just a few.

Kevin Blake
(Electric Underground)

Kevin Blake is an electronica producer from Limerick who moved to Cork to do a degree in music. He has always played in experimental rock bands since a very young age but an explosion of inspiration from the discovery of labels such as Warp, Rephlex and Planet Mu inspired him to start making electronic music.

In early 2007, realising that there wasn't much of a platform in Cork for Kevin to perform his music live, he took the initiative to start up his own night called 'Electric Underground'. This focused on giving left-field dance music producers a stage to perform on, and pushed innovative djs as well. Popularity caused the night to expand to a much bigger venue and bring artists from abroad over to play. Over the last three years they have had over 70 international acts play from the finest labels in dance music today including Warp, Planet Mu, Ninjatune and Rephlex.

He released his debut EP 'You Are What You Hear' in March 2009 which received much critical acclaim from various media sources and a distribution deal with RMG. Ireland's most well respected music reviewer Jim Caroll of the Irish Times described it as being "Smashing, You Are What You Hear is the go-to release for fresh, engaging minimal electronic grooves". Donal Dineen and Cian O'Cíobháin pushed it onto the airwaves, with Donal picking Kevin to be one of the featured Irish upcoming artists to do a live set and interview on Today Fm for the Fresh Air Festival.

Kevin's live sets and productions led him to play gigs all around the country and have even brought him to play sets in France and the UK. He has also played at Ireland's most prestigious festivals including DEAF and the Electric Picnic. The live sets are aimed towards moving people on the dancefloor and his bass heavy sets incorporate influences such as Dubstep, Hip Hop and Techno. Not the type to hide behind a laptop, Kevin uses guitars, a melodica and various synths and fx to allow him to improvise easily. He has had the pleasure of warming up for such luminaries as Luke Vibert, Prefuse 73, Venetian Snares, Bonobo, Mu-ziq, and Boxcutter.
