The inimitable Dusky announce the return of their DUSKY PRESENTS event series with four dates across Bristol, Sheffield, London and Manchester. The duo will be joined by an eclectic selection of guests such as techno legend Robert Hood, R&S’s Lone, Dekmantel favourite Matrixxman, the resurgent Paul Woolford, and rising stars Sally C, Brame & Hamo, and KETTAMA.
Fresh from a smash US tour and the release of their much-loved ‘Aset Forever’ EP (supported by Rampa, Red Axes, Adam Beyer among others), Dusky are getting back to their roots and their prominence within the UK underground scene by focussing on their event series, DUSKY PRESENTS. Each event and lineup is meticulously curated to ensure a night of authenticity which embodies everything they’re about as artists, producers and label A&Rs. They’ve mingled their heroes and long-time friends with 17 Steps debutants, including Brame & Hamo and Kettama who join the label with their Aset Forever remix package.
“The Dusky Presents series is a chance for us to showcase artists we have always admired, or have caught our eye recently. It’s always an honour to curate – and programme – line-ups with our favourite artists, and we’re excited by the variety of names joining us.” – Dusky
Heralding the tour, the ‘Aset Forever EP – The Remixes’ with Brame & Hamo and KETTAMA drops 14th December. Irish born, Berlin-based duo Brame & Hamo rework ‘Amongst The Gods’, combining distorted kicks and industrial percussion with euphoric samples from the original, to create an unequivocally rave-ready flip. Fellow Irishman and rising star Kettama transforms ‘Staunch’ from a darkly brooding cut into a thumping hard house epic spiked with zapping synths and hefty percussion.
