JUNKYARD INDUSTRIES, Brighton and Hove (2024)

12/09/2024

Luke Duncanson aka Systemthink has been djing and promoting events since 2003, playing his first serious gig for a small bar in Parga, Greece. Originally from Lincolnshire in the UK, he grew up influenced by Skate culture and Dub Reggae which were booming during the late 90s. From there, as many other teenagers at the time he fell in love with the well established movements of UK Jungle, Drum & Bass and Breakbeat Hardcore. Without YouTube or Spotify, he researched and discovered most of the underground sounds through pirate cassettes and rave tape packs from Dreamscape and Pleasuredome. Later, he got caught up with the exotic emerging sounds of Industrial and Techno which eventually led him to the original Detroit Techno sound. All these influences through time translate into his sound being full of bass, energetic and well paced as original Techno should be. As a good gear freak he is, you can find him currently locked in his studio working on the next releases.

The legendary yet visionary Detroit.
Detroit, known as the “Motor City”, was the heart of the American automobile industry.
However, by the 1970s and 1980s the city faced severe economic challenges due to the decline of this industry. This decline led to significant job losses, urban decay and population decline, particularly affecting the African American community.
Despite economic hardships, Detroit remained a vibrant cultural melting pot. The city had a rich musical heritage, including Motown, jazz, and funk, which significantly influenced the development of Detroit techno. Also, a local radio called The Electrifying Mojo played a pivotal role by exposing to the youth, European bands like Kraftwerk.
The Belleville Three (Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson) are often credited with creating techno. They met in high school in Belleville, a suburb of Detroit and shared a passion for electronic music.
Inspired by the futuristic sounds of Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, and Yellow Magic Orchestra, they began experimenting with synthesisers, drum machines and sequencers to create a new kind of music.
Juan Atkins, often referred to as the “Godfather of Techno”, formed the group Cybotron with Richard Davis. Their track “Clear” (1983) is considered one of the first techno records.
The 1990s saw a new wave of Detroit techno artists, including Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Robert Hood, Carl Craig, Octave One, Stacey Pullen, Kenny Larkin, Theo Parrish, Moodymann and the Underground Resistance (UR) collective formed by Mike Banks which embodied the militant and politically conscious side of Detroit techno.
Their music often carried messages of social change and empowerment, reflecting the struggles of the city’s African American community. UR’s hard-hitting sound and DIY ethos influenced a new generation of techno artists.
Detroit techno is a testament to the resilience and creativity of its artists, who transformed their socio-economic struggles into groundbreaking music. The genre’s emphasis on futuristic sounds and technology reflects a desire to transcend the hardships of the present and envision a better future.
Detroit is indeed the birthplace of techno.

Passwar D is an alien frequency being who fell to Earth from outer space. Currently based in New York, this alien frequency is surprisingly fascinated by human experiences and the complex emotions they evoke, it wires itself through human imagination and creates sonic art forms to articulate its earthly observations.
Passwar D’s boundless LP release The Dead Of Synthetic Prosody is a mesmerizing blend of cutting-edge dance floor rhythms and immersive soundscapes that oscillate between the up-beat energy of a rave and the contemplative atmosphere of an art space. The LP has also been described as “transcending time” by 432Hz Social Club, and “representing information codes from another planet” by Industrial Complexx.
Passwar D’s forthcoming debut album Personal Cosmology was premiered at Teorema Festival Barcelona and the artist/alien is scheduled to land in Europe for a few dates until the end of the year. This particular mix was recorded in Bulgaria during a live performance at Absinthe Bar, Plovdiv.

Chapter IV 💥💥💥

DJ Risk’s major risk is to make us dream. His sound lets you dream with your brain awake. His sets are an absolute journey driven by your subconscious and yet he doesn’t have to be the typical hands in the air DJ. His music asks permission to your mind first and without expecting it, your body is already in a trance state, 100% under his commands. Risk is a complete music priest and whilst some people go to the church on Sundays for relief, some others just follow his mesmerism.

From Worthing with love. A tremendous techno record offered to us by the maestro Stewart Caig who runs Worthing Techno Militia. Apart from being unarguably the best local crew putting techno events in Worthing, they can also make dreams come true and this Saturday 8th April they are bringing the collective Detroit Techno Militia straight from the USA to our beloved Cellar Arts Club CIC and we certainly will be there! 🦾

Rob is an artist. Why am I starting with such a powerful statement? Because from the very first moment he played live for us at Cellar Arts Club he showed to be extremely versatile with his music and super open to different ideas. True art has never been totally categorised but we tend to see it more and more in specific categories and that castrates real art. In fact, I can’t really put his sound in a single category and this recording resembles just that. All tracks were produced by him using drum machines, samplers and synths. We could say his sound is techno and it can be but it’s mostly immersive with massive punches of energy followed by a dosage of analgesics to relief the pain. Poetry aside, Rob’s just released a new live album which is available on both Bandcamp and Spotify as well as his latest EP’s “Perpetual Motion” and “Abandon”. Rupture / Rapture

Stewart Caig is the one half of the DJ crew Worthing Techno Militia, another exciting project which has the mission of bringing real underground techno back to life in Worthing. Techno is not a new thing in Worthing as we already mentioned a million of times with previous clubs such as the legendary Sterns. Stewart Caig’s events at Cellar Arts Club are the perfect example of an atmosphere that seems to take you back in time to the peak of 90’s but yet still very contemporary compared to what you would experience in other major cities. At Junkyard we believe that to understand this music you must go back to the roots and respect its origins. A great introduction to this world is our most recent collaboration with Stewart which marks our 6th guest mix. In this mix you can hear Detroit techno, electro and a pinch of acid all in one!

The 90s were and will always be the starting point for clubbing and electronic music as we know today. For that reason, we decided to challenge Mause to provoke what’s probably one of the oddest acts ever created, the 1994’s Criminal Justice and Public Order Act. Mause’s mix will transport you to a derelict warehouse in Manchester or London but be aware because it includes sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats!
