/ a year of tensile / Leeds / UK /

Post by tensile »

Its been a while since being on the subsekt forum so hello again to all...

tensile (after a year of hard fucking graft!) has made it to its first birthday and to celebrate we have Spanish label Subsist heading over to 'do the do'

"Sound Expression Against World Pressure"

-------------------
Fon / Subsist

Alfonso D. Civantos aka Fon was born in Pontevedra (Galicia, Spain) and has been based in Valencia, Spain since the late 90s.

Fon created and founded Komakino/KMK, a collective of artists and promoters in the Valencia area that has been considered to be the most important artist platform related to electronic music in Valencia, creating a consolidated scene of electronic music around the city, parallel to the commercial scene created by the established commercial clubs.

After almost ten years managing and directing Komakino, Fon decided leave to have the freedom to develop his own label called Subsist records in 2009

Subsist records is a label dedicated to delivering cutting edge underground electronic/techno music to the world stage

Each EP or album will showcase a selection of tracks in all shapes and forms from talented electronic music producers across the globe.

Fon currently combines his work as the artistic director of Subsist records, as well as one of the most talented DJ’s with projection, charisma and quality musical taste on the east coast of Spain. His DJ sets are warm, coherent, deep, dark and forceful.

Voidloss / Subsist - Singularity

Voidloss: " el caballero de lo oscuro" as they call him in Spain, is a producer much respected in the underground.
His musical life is extended, starting in industrial bands, moving on to putting on illegal raves as part of the seminal London underground counter cultural movement United Systems, through commercial techno and back into the murky underground of experimental/industrial techno.
Always known to be someone working on the fringes, in the shadows, a true underground artist, Voidloss has become a name associated with progression, a high production aesthetic, emotional extremes, of euphoria and darkness, with iconic releases on both high profile and underground labels. His own label Singularity Recordings pushes forward and explores the dark and experimental, leading edge of techno, championing other artists working with a similar aesthetic of uniquity, artistry and underground mentality.
His Live PA`s take people on a deep emotional journey, both for the soul and for dancefloor, breaking genre rules, remaining ahead of expectation. And his releases and label philosophy continue to be a strong force for individuality and dissent amongst a sea of compliance.

Error Etica / Subsist - Pychoskunk

Error Etica aka Victor Martinez is the owner of Psychoskunk Recordings, Producer, DJ and sound engineer, but also a reference in northern Spain for techno music.
With a career that spans over 20 years and more than 30 edited records , Victor has developed a unique and personal style that can be experienced in his particular dj sets exploring through many subgeneres of the electronic music, playing in legendary clubs all across Europe as: Tresor and Suicide Circus in Berlin, Reverb ( London), Moog (Bcn), Soma and One in Madrid, Lärm (Budapest), Curk (Prague) Gamma Club (Tourin) Detached (Leeds) etc ,and festivals like: Mugako (Spain) and Alkototabor (Hungary).
Víctor has worked for numerous other labels as: Tsunami records, Granulart, Pole Group, Reclaim your city, Nachtstrom Schallplatten, Sect London, Subsist, Pohjola and many more....
Being faithful to his style and philosophy, Victor is in a continuous evolution betting for new sounds and new dimensions in the techno sound and bound to evolve in various fields of contemporary creation composing soundtracks for documentaries, short films, trailers, commercials making off etc. He is currently immersed in creating a new projects with other alias, in 2016 and in just 3 months, he recorded his third album and the first with the new alias: "Slaugh † ered Sain †" , a much more sentimental and deep facet, tracing dyes and structures that go the brutality of noise sounds of Pan Sonic and other genres such as the Dark Wave 80´s and industrial sound such as: Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Psychic TV, Death in June, Skinny Puppy, Klinik, Explendor Geometrico, etc .Underlining them with convoluted breaks of IDM and Drones with an evil and depraved atmosphere. “Odio y Desprecio” is published on the St. Petersburg label "La Notte di Architetto" and distributed by Ready Made Distribution (Berlin-GER).
Nowadays, he is working in parallel with Error Etica in another project called K3RN3L_32 focused on electronics, drum & bass and dubstep-techno.
Someone who moves away from trends, producing a deep, dark and energetic atmosphere.

Joel Sutcliffe / Tom Long / Process Manchester

Joel Sutcliffe and Tom Long have forged separate paths through the techno scene of northern England over best part of decade, raving at and playing at pretty much anywhere worth its salt. The boys convened in Manchester as Sutcliffe founded the clubnight Process back in 2010.

He also forms one half of Solitude Suite, the performance and production collaberation with Casual Violence.


----------------------------
Sabes / Ant-Zen / Gomboc Records

Sabes aka Sebastian Mich started at a young age as an acid / hard techno DJ and decided to follow this path into the study of Music Technology, which prompted him to move from his native Poland to the UK. He was both fascinated and alienated by the culture he found and he wanted to channel this in an artistic fashion - and thus, Sabes was born. From the offset Sebastian's ambition was to merge the distortion of rhythmic, noise-oriented industrial music with Technoid beat and bass structures. Influenced by classic industrial projects of the 90s like Asche, Imminent, Synapscape and Iszoloscope – Sabes created two albums that are best described as an energetic blend of blasting beats, complex sequencer patterns, unsettling samples and crushing power noise textures. His sound keeps evolving and his recent explorations oscillate around a more polished Techno soundscape with Industrial influences....and because of this we are super happy to have him back at tensile!

This was a really good night, not a huge crowd but all good heads as always. Growing from strength to strength this night. Thanks to Dom and John for all the hard work over the past year.

Was also great to meet you Steve (Voidless), hope you enjoyed your visit to Leeds :)

Yeah nice to meet you and a few other subsektors. It's a shame the bar room had hard techno playing
Dom was a little pissed about that as it wasn't supposed to be what they were doing and it split the energy.
But yeah I enjoyed it. Couldn't hear anything whilst I was playing as the monitors were behind me, so it was a bit hard to judge levels...
Dom is a good man, I hope Tensile keeps going for plenty of time. Not many decent nights in the UK that really support the underground sounds of techno so bravely right now.

Yes it usually isn't hard in the bar at all, every time I've been apart from this time the bar has been quite chilled, usually some nice tunes, a bit of electro and less abrasive techno but I've never seen the bar so pounding before. It did mess with the balance too, pounders in the bar and then deeper more tripped out stuff in the main room. I enjoyed the main room and there were some really weird moments that were tripping me out, but that could have been the acid weirding me out too, but in a good way.

It would be great to see this night grow and get busy enough to open the basement, I used to love that room when Future Past and Detatched was on at Beaverworks, the low ceiling, simple lighting (fog and strobe) nice system down there too, akin to Tresor in a lot of ways.

Shit, completely passed me by, this. Would have come out of clubbing retirement to make it down. I'm so out of the loop, I've never heard of Beaverworks before; it's in a bit of an odd location!

Last time I played there was in the basement.
The smoke machine broke and completely filled the room out to the point where you literally could barely see your own nose. It was awesome with the strobe.

When I walked out up in to the smoking area the fog was billowing out like a horror movie.

Yeah, it's in an industrial area in an old warehouse, it's a great venue. Get yourself over to the next one, always some good line ups on.

Haha yeah that sounds like the basement, I saw Ritzy Lee in there, it was probably the most quiet I've seen that room so the guy putting the event on just switched on the fog until nobody could see past their nose. It was great, didn't matter that it was quiet, my head was spinning out though after a while though, really disorientating.
