Fri 18_12_09 – Anthony Pappa @ Empire (Ulterior)

19 12 2009

Line Up:

  • Anthony Pappa
  • Dingostyle
  • Rich Curtis
  • CJM
  • Yokoo

A repeat visitor for Ritual Events, Anthony Pappa has been described as a human “drum machine”.

Yokoo warmed up with a nice set of tech goodness.  We played approx. 11-12.30 before Anthony came on.  Some big tracks (for us) were Sebastien Leger – The Rhythm and Marco Bailey – Jungle Laps.

Pappa came on and started with an accapella and then proceeded to weave his magic.  The crowd was up for it.  He had some great new (promo) tunes from Guy J and also played a tune called Bombscare (?) which tore the place down.

RichCur came on about 3.30 and wound the night out with a few big ones.





Fri 16_10_09 – Reset Robot @ Empire (Ulterior)

16 10 2009

Reset Robot (aka Dave Robertson) has been producing some of the world’s best tech music.  He has a long history making tunes under his own name, one that we particularly hammered was The Rendition.

At the moment he’s been collaborating with Christian Smith, Alan Fitzpatrick and Dubfire.  Dubfire and Coxy have been playing a lot of his stuff lately, and that’s promo that you can’t pay for.

Reset played a trademark set, the only disappointment was crowd numbers.  But you’ve got to take the good with the bad.





Sun 20_09_09 – Ulterior pres. Slam and Fergie @ Empire Middle Bar

20 09 2009

What a massive double billing we had for this gig.  We got to take over the Empire’s Middle Bar instead of our usual Moon Bar habitat.

Slam = all time techno legends from Scotland

Fergie = hardhouse legend turned techno maestro from Ireland

Chris Wilson got proceedings underway before CJM and Rich took over about sunset.  We came on at about 7 and played for about two hours with the crowd building nicely.  This is (just) a few of the tunes we played

Loco Dice – How do I know (Cassy mix)
Tiga – Beep, Beep, Beep (Loco Dice mix)
Roberto Capuano – El Borracho
DJ Sneak – Some More
Butch – Amelie (Format B mix)
Lauhaus – Late Nights
Mark Broom – People (Nick Curly mix)
Joris Voorn – Chase the Mouse
Lauhaus – Back to Ipanema
Knee Deep – Gypsy Bucket
Moritz Piske – Real One
Tiefschwarz – Trust
District One – Dubcrystal (Julien Chaptal & Lauhaus remix)

Fergie came on about 9 and Slam at about 11pm.  They both played excellent sets, a night to remember…





Fri 04_09_09 – Ulterior pres. Dubfunk (EGY)

4 09 2009

Another big night with an international guest.

Dubfunk played a real journey of a set and had the crowd up for it.  It was definitely an interesting crowd (even by Moon Bar standards!)





Fri 3_07_09 – Danny Bonnici @ Empire (Ulterior)

3 07 2009

This was an awesome night.  Danny Bonnici played a “live” ableton set on they fly.  Danny had the crowd moving nicely before we got on the decks at about 1.30/2.00am.

This is one of our most memorable empire gigs.  The crowd was up for it and we got to play alot of the stuff we are really in to.  Some of our faves from the night:

  • D-Unity – Tribal
  • Tiefschwarz – Trust
  • Mescal Kid – Magic 1
  • Nic Fanciulli – 20%
