Epsilon En Vivo Y En Directo – Cristian Varela (Madrid, Sábado 9.3.1996)

When you say Techno, you say Ben Sims! Simple as that, prove me wrong! Here are some of his finest Hardgroove Techno sets from the past! Enjoy!

With over 20 years experience under his belt, Ben Sims has a well-deserved reputation as one of the world's most in-demand and leading techno DJs - a tight, energetic mixer who skilfully weaves together his own distinctive blend of tough funk and hardg..
From early formative days earning his stripes spinning hip hop, house and rave on pirate radio, and at parties around Essex and East London, through the 90's as an ever more in demand DJ, and on into the new millennium as a label boss, producer and internationally recognised techno legend in his own right, Ben Sims has spent all his conscious life exploring all facets of underground dance music 

Throughout that time, the man has honed his reputation as a tight, energetic mixer who skilfully weaves together his own distinctive blend of tough funk and hardgrooves, often using three-deck wizardry and plenty of dexterity.  Be it at clubs like Fabric London, Atomic Jam, Berghain, Florida 135, or any number of festivals around the world, Sims' sets are powerful, memorable, and unique, while constantly pushing the boundaries of a DJ set - utilising a   mesmerizing blend of vinyl, CDs, and software.

As well as carving a reputation as one of the world's leading techno DJs, Ben has curated many of his own revered labels over the years.  Chief amongst them is Theory - an imprint this year celebrating it's 40th release, that counts amongst it's supporters contemporary connoisseurs like Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, and the old guard of Dave Clarke, Robert Hood, Rolando and more - proof, then, that Sims is on the form of his life production wise.

Riding high on the wave of critical acclaim from his cultured debut long player on Drumcode, 2011's Smoke & Mirrors, an album that voyages into Sim's unique take on techno, coupled with authentic house outings, thanks to guest appearances from Chicago's Tyree Cooper and Detroit's Blake Baxter, whilst also showcasing plenty of dubbed-out and grainy textures.

Sims has put his name to more than 50 releases in the last two decades.  During those years, there has also been a steady stream of high profile remixes of scene heavyweights, including Jeff Mills, Adam Beyer, Kevin Saunderson and Chris Liebing, on labels du jour like AXIS, KMS, CLR and Drumcode, all of which have won as much critical praise as they have crossover success. 

Despite his veteran status in the scene, Sims has always been keen to evolve.  Alongside Kirk Degiorgio, he is co-founder & curator of Machine - a clubnight which focuses on new, unreleased, & upfront music; it's primary home in London, but with editions all across Europe each year. His 'Run it Red' radio show, broadcast via NTSlive and podcasted afterwards, also serves to solely highlight new music.

Madrid techno experienced one of its most epic nights: with all the tickets sold out, the artists took over the club in an all night long of pure techno

Once upon a time there were two young DJs who, with boxes full of vinyl and, above all, a lot of desire, began to chart a path in the underground scene. It was the 90s, a time of musical revolution where club culture in Spain took shape in booths shrouded in smoke and strobe lights. At that time, Cristian Varela and DJ Pepo did not know that their names would become synonymous with excellence, passion and a unique connection with the public.

Three decades later, techno is still its language and its mission remains intact: to make every person who steps on the floor enjoy it. Last Saturday, February 8, LAB theClub at Chamartín Station witnessed one more chapter of these two living legends. Haters, which was born in 2015 and established itself as one of the references of techno in Spain, celebrated its anniversary with an event that is already part of the history of Madrid clubbing.
