Kozzmozz
General Info
Concept
Another spectacular edition of Kozzmozz awaits us. After a smashing 15th birthday with Surgeon and Rolando and an overwhelming techno fest with Chis Liebing and Tommy Four Seven, we have again selected the cream of the current techno top for the traditional Kozzmozz summer celebration.
First up is Cari Lekebush who joined us on a Kozzmozz voyage for the first time more than 10 years ago at Kuipke. His second visit was over 5 years ago at Vooruit so we’re happy to have him with us again this time. As the leading force behind the H-Productions label, he is definitely a techno force to be reckoned with. Especially as he’s released on about all other leading techno labels around as Novamute, Soma, Primevil, Masters of Disaster, Fine Audio Recordings, Harthouse and Turbo to name a few. Still one of the main players on the techno scene, the ultimate ambassador of what is called Swedish techno (which also includes Adam Beyer, Alexi Delano, Joel Müll, .. ), can be found regularly on big Swedish labels such as Drumcode, Code Red, Truesoul, Jericho and Corb. You can expect a killer set that will make you sweat in places you’ve never sweat before!
Next up is the immensely popular Sandwell District collaboration between two huge illuminaries of the techno scene namely Regis and Function. This is the very first appearance of the dynamic duo on Belgian soil, all exclusive for you! Both made name on the highly influential Downwards label and are only improving with age. Their Sandwell District label is generally considered to be thé underground techno label of the moment and is getting big support from everybody from Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, Len Faki and the Berghain crew to Laurent Garnier, Miss Kitten, Jeff Mills, Speedy J and more. They are hailed in press and by the public for all their productions and mostly their current, new album “Feed Forward” which is very contemporary whilst encorporating all trends of underground techno of the last decades. Their joint sets are a truly unique experience and never sound alike! You don’t want to miss this!
With Alan Fitzpatrick, we welcome one of the newest and fastest rising talents on the techno block. His first productions on Drumcode immediately shot through the roof and established his name. As such he was the first artist in 7 years to be able to release his debut album on Drumcode. “Shadows in the Dark” won him the respect of dj’s as Carl Cox, Dubfire and many others. Next to this, he also released many other artists on his own 8 Sided Dice imprint and will be working with Adam Beyer, Cari, Mark Broom & Funk D’Void in the year to come. His energetic and unique techno sets will undoubtedly make the Vooruit tremble and throb, just the way you like it!
Our resident Kr!z is back from playing in Berghain in Berlin during the previous Kozzmozz and will represent the colours of his Token label while Spacid will drop some warm-up sounds to prepare you for heavy duty techno!
Hope you’ll join us for another mind-bending portion of mind-blowing techno beats!
