For all of you who didn't make it out to Miami this year for the WMC, we have the next best thing for you. As part of the SUPERFREQ Express Tour with MR C (Superfreq / The End), AVALAND brings you one of electronic music's most exciting and respected new live acts, BOOKA SHADE (Get Physical / Berlin, Germany). This will be their last show of their mini US tour that has been sold out at every venue so catch them before they head back to Germany. To finish off the night, MR C (creator and resident DJ of Superfreq) will deliver superb chunks of electro, acid and minimal house in support of his first mixed cd in 7 years, Superfreq Express (find a link to his album online). Check out the youtube clip below for video footage of this legendary underground night.

Our newest resident dj trio, Droog, will be starting the night off in proper style. For those of you who got to check them out on 3/10 for their residency launch on the terrace but did not receive their latest promo, you can still get one by being one of the first 200 people though the door this Saturday. On the terrace this week will be Toshi (Rotunda Sound System) and Ubique.

BOOKA SHADE
Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier aka German producers and live act BOOKA SHADE rounded off 2006 in style. The Berliners were named by the writers at Resident Advisor, the UK’s leading electronic music website, as the best live act and won the best album award for their second long-player, ‘Movements’. The album also featured in many other international end of year top 10 charts. Elsewhere on the internet, Pitchfork, the US music website, listed ‘In White Rooms’ as among their best songs of last year. Closer to home, Germany’s ME Sounds ranked ‘Vertigo’ amongst their ‘most important songs of all time’ while BOOKA SHADE won kudos in Groove Magazine end of year poll, selected as the No 2 producers and the album featuring in the top 10. Germany’s top DJs voted the band as the country’s best live act, and, adding to overall acclaim for the album was the fact that ‘Movements’ has also been nominated for the Plug Award in the US.

MR C
Mr C was originally most famous as the front man of The Shamen; the techno-rave outfit that scored huge hits and notoriety in the 90s with tracks like Ebeneezer Goode. But Mr C's progress, before and after he gained global fame, has been characterised by a devotion to electronic music and a solid DJ career that sees him playing around the world plus running the underground Superfreq night both in Ibiza and at The End's sister bar AKA. After forming the groundbreaking Plink Plonk record label in 1992, Mr C went on to open The End with Layo Paskin in 1996, and watched its impact on the capital: “It has been a direct influence on the whole of club and bar-restaurant culture in London." The End even launched its own genre: tech house. The phrase - which can mean anything from house and techno, to breaks and tribal - signifies more of a mindset that a type of music. Says Mr C, “it's an attitude. Like acid house was an attitude…" The DJing style he has become best known for in recent years, however, is underground-electro-acid house, and that’s the sound that fills AKA on Sunday nights.
