VA - I Love Techno 2007 Mixed By Dave Clarke

October 25, 2007 | Filed Under Artists, Labels, Releases |

Its clash of the techno titans as the globally renowned I Love Techno event and Dave Clarke bring it on for 20 tracks of uncompromising electronic beats. Featuring unreleased tracks from Kevin Saunderson, The Advent, DJ 3000, Rob Gibson and T. Linder as well as fresh cutz from Joey Beltram, Substance & Vainquer, Jochem Paap (aka Speedy J), The Horrorist and many more, I Love Techno 2007 showcases the most upfront and forward thinking dancefloor techno, mixed in one live take from one of its biggest global pioneers.

Dave Clarke is one of the most important techno and electro producer/DJs around. His cut up DJ sets are the stuff of legend, where the dancefloor is constantly kept on the edge as electro, techno, Chicago jack house, booty bass and leftfield sonics are spliced and diced with razor-sharp precision. His seminal productions which stream back to 1989 include the Red Series, early output for his own Magnetic North imprint, ‘Compass’, ‘Way of Life’ and more recent albums such as ‘Devil’s Advocate’ and ‘Archive One’. So rightly so Dave Clarke remains one of the biggest techno names on the planet, either running tents or headlining the cream of the world’s best festivals (Sonar, Glastonbury, Lowlands etc) and playing clubs and live gigs the world over.

Dave Clarke currently resides both in the UK and Holland and has embraced the European way of life as much as they have welcomed him with open arms. He has even established his own weekly radio show on national Dutch radio station 3fm, Belgian national station Studio Brussels and Portuguese National Broadcaster Antenna 3 etc called ‘White Noise’ which showcases his eclectic taste for the alternative scene, both in and outside electronic music, with the occasional live broadcast (Sonar/Lowlands). His show is also available on the internet via the multi award winning Dutch portal 3voor12 and his collection of ‘Remixes & Rarities’ that also came out on Music Man last year showcased the depth and range of artists that he has remixed and work with over the years (Gary Numan, The Chemical Brothers, Super Furry Animals, New Order, Leftfield, Depeche Mode, Fischerspooner and many more).

Taking place on 10th November, this year’s I Love Techno is held at the Flanders Expo in Ghent and as ever is expected to attract some 35,000 people across 7 rooms making it Europe’s leading indoor dance event. Dave Clarke himself is hosting one of the rooms alongside the likes of Underworld, British Murder Boys, Miss Kittin & The Hacker, Boys Noize, Justice, Klaxons, Ellen Allien and many more.

From the brooding, rolling beats of Christian Smith and John Selway’s set opening ‘Coming Storm’ to the more subtle rhythmic flow of Oliver Ho’s Raudive project and Joris Voorn’s unreleased remix of Kevin Saunderson’s classic ‘Bassline’ to new releases from The Advent, Joey Beltram, Fastgraph and Radial Dave Clarke builds the energy up and down across 20 tracks, encompassing the various forms of what we call techno in 2007.
