Club night Control 01/06/2012 . Drop the Lime / AC Slater / Star Eyes / The Captain

Submitted by Eduardo on Tuesday, 10 January 2012

Everyone comes from somewhere, but some people wear the cities they’re from like badges of honour. Drop the Lime is Luca Venezia, one of those people whose identity is intrinsically connected to his hometown – New York City. And while many have only just heard of the magic of Drop The Lime, Luca has been honing his craft for years. From humble beginnings in a gospel choir to a childhood obsession with 50s rock’n’roll, the 26 year old has been experimenting with sound for years. His influences range from Brian Eno to rockabilly (he’s well known for his 50s doo wop and soul sets) to Sonic Youth to Wu Tang. He also runs Trouble & Bass, an influential New York club night and label since 2006. The Trouble & Bass crew are the DJs who are defining a new New York sound.

AC Slater has established himself as one of the most in demand remixers and producers in the world right now and his growing reputation is showing no signs of slowing down.
Raised on 90's Hip-Hop and nourished by old school rave, AC has cultivated these influences to give birth to his own style of music production. A pioneer in the current electro and heavy bass sound, AC is one of the most talked about and sought after dance artists around. His tracks consistently top the Hype Machine and radio airplay charts, most notably his remix of the international hit "Show Me Love" by Robin S and his remix of underground classic "Turn The Music Up" being voted one of Moby's top 10 tracks of the decade.

Brooklyn femme fatale Star Eyes is known for throwing down raw, dirty underground tracks, from heavy house to grime bangers, speaker-rattling dubstep anthems to Miami bass. This 15-year DJ veteran has always been known for being on the cutting-edge of bass music. Throughout the ’90s, California-born Star Eyes was best known as one of the first female drum & bass DJs in the US (and a resident of S.F.’s long-running Eklektic night); by 2002, she was half of the 2-step-meets-electro DJ duo Syrup Girls (called “New York’s best-kept secret” by New Yorker music critic Sasha Frere-Jones). Star Eyes has toured the U.S. and Europe multiple times, touching down in such exotic locales as Cape Town, Sicily, and Warsaw, playing on the Vans Warped Tour (and for Southern Comfort and Scion), as well as headlining the world’s best nightclubs, including London’s Fabric, Berlin’s WMF, and Paris’ Social Club.
