Blkmarket Membership invites you to a very special show this weekend on Saturday 26th February featuring the long awaited Klockworks showcase starring Ben Klock and DSV1 ALL NIGHT LONG!! Residents Taimur & Fahad will be sitting out of this one so that everyone can get the full Klockworks experience from start to finish.
Berlin born DJ, producer and label owner Ben Klock is without a doubt one of the most significant characters in techno's history. A resident at Berghain since its opening in 2004, he has been able to leave his mark on the club's unique sound, in turn the special space influenced Klock's approach as a DJ and producer as well. Playing techno sets full of hypnotic, deep and heavy grooves, releasing records on Ostgut Ton and last but not least the aesthetics of his own label Klockworks (founded in 2006), have earned him an excellent international reputation over the last few years. Support by stringent and enthralling tracks, remixes for such diverse artists as Kerri Chandler, Martyn or Depeche Mode, the revered debut album 'One' on Ostgut Ton and his Berghain mix, Ben Klock's name is synonymous with vitalization of an essential definition of techno.
DVS1 is one of the most prominent figures in the Midwest/US dance music landscape today. A local DJ favourite since the mid nineties, he continues to move floors with a combination of deep musical knowledge, unparalleled enthusiasm, and a vinyl collection of more than 10,000 records. He delivered his first original production in late 2009, on Ben Klock’s Klockworks label, which placed him immediately on a global stage, receiving widespread acclaim from his peers. In the early months of 2010 he followed this up with an EP on Derrick May’s legendary Transmat label, an indicator of the level of quality that he has now established after only two releases. Further music is slated for release on Luke Slater’s Mote Evolver label, Perc Trax, Synewave and a further offering for Klockworks will cement his position among electronic music tastemakers. As a producer, DVS1 makes music that is simple, effective and captures the feeling of the moment. As a DJ, he is a consummate performer, never mapping out his sets ahead of time, but always opting to craft sets spontaneously within the context of the moment. Often choosing to bring more than one bag of vinyl to each performance, each of his sets is a one-of-a-kind personal expression, never again to be repeated. With a truly unique approach to techno, DVS1 is a huge talent in the making.
This will be the New York debut for the Klockworks label showcase, and the first time ever in New York that both artists will be playing together from start to finish in this city. We strongly suggest that you arrive from the start and stay until the very end as you will not want to miss out on this special event.
We got a chance to speak with Ben Klock and DSV1 in an exclusive interview they did for halcyon for the show, which is a must read. You can check out the interview here and also enter the contest to win a pair of tickets for the Klockworks showcase!
