Known for underground techno, tech house and minimal residents Mogs and Tomas Rubeck will be performing in their Equals2 guise. Equals2 is a LIVE experience involving a whole armoury of technology.

BUNKA

Bunka was born over 2 years ago out of a need for a fresh underground house and techno night in Birmingham. With humble beginnings at the Bull’s Head in Moseley and a no bullshit, back-to-basics policy it has developed into a force to be reckoned with on the local party scene. Its roster of guests and resident DJs relies on home grown talent from in and around the midlands who know their music.

COG

Cog is one of Birmingham’s most exciting and fastest evolving, underground nights. A unique mix of underground house and techno that encompasses all that is innovative. Cog has been growing for over two years now, originally a monthly night at Rooty’s at the Custard Factory now based at the renowned Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath where it continues to grow.

After a hugely successful 2009 in which they joined forces to bring quality DJs such as Billy Nasty and Rolando to Birmingham, Bunka & Cog head into 2010 with a fresh outlook and a number of bigger parties in the pipeline with some exclusive guests and a new concept for Birmingham with… the TYPE Series … Watch this Space!

DUSTY KID

Joining Deuce, Bunka and Cog in the Factory Club and performing LIVE will be Italy’s Dusty Kid. Dusty Kid provided Radio One’s essential mix on Saturday 24th October. It was a sublime 2 hours of melodic, psychedelic techno and considered by many to be one of the best essential mixes of all time! Dusty Kid the producer is also making big waves in the download charts with his album ‘A Raver’s Diary’ showcasing his knack for creating electronic sounds that you will have never heard before.

EARLY DOORS

Early Doors is one of the freshest Drum & Bass nights in Birmingham and has its origins in the old skool ethics once found at midlands clubs such as Quest and The Edge. This ethos has helped the creators, Subdiue and Initial, receive support from all corners of the West Midlands during the past 12 months from liquid to jump up creating an event that focuses on no agenda other than the love of music. With over 15 years experience in the scene, Subdue & Initial are once again capitalising on the wealth of midlands talent bringing you the mighty Benny & Aries plus owner of Class A recordings CKB.

In 1997 Roni Size and his drum and bass collective Reprazent released the album “New Forms”. That year they won the Mercury Music Prize for New Forms which in turn helped bring Roni, Reprazent & drum and bass to the masses.

Reprazent became the sound of the summer in ‘97 with a series of festival appearances including Tribal Gathering. Winning the Mercury Music Prize boosted their international status and the world awoke to the sound of Roni Size and his label Full Cycle. The Singles from the album all featured the unmistakable vocals of Onallee including ‘Brown Paper Bag’, ‘Heroes’ and ‘Watching Windows’ which have all become modern day classics.

New Forms was quickly followed up by the album “Breakbeat Era” which he teamed up with DJ Die and Leonie Laws before returning to Reprazent to record the second album, “In The Mode” which was released in October 2000.

In 2001 Roni Size released his first truly solo album, “Touching Down” which is still one of the biggest selling independent d&b albums to date.

In 2008 Roni resurrected Reprazent with the release of a deluxe edition of “New Forms” on Universal. Reforming the band with original members, Reprazent toured some of the biggest festivals in Europe including Bestival, Glastonbury, Lovebox & Exit which saw them nominated for best dance act in the UK Festival Awards.

2009 is looking like another massive year for Roni with a new Reprazent album imminent and a world wide tour taking in Australia, North America, Europe and of course the UK.

With such a hectic schedule we are proud to announce that Roni Size will be performing a DJ set here at The Custard Factory on Friday 3rd July in the legendary Marquee.

Do not miss this opportunity to see one of the true drum and bass greats.
