Dirk Wiertz

Dirk Wiertz is a Dj & producer from Amsterdam, combining the best of both worlds by working in Amsterdam's iconic record store Concerto, making music & collecting records. 
After hearing Newcleus’ Computer Age as a kid in the late 80’s he was hooked on electro music at a very young age.  Starting out with a Roland MC303 making electro tracks was all he would do, but soon many more drum machines & synthesizers filled his studio.  Now more inspired by the likes of Drexciya, Anthony Rother and many others he started developing his style and started podcasting monthly mixes with his electro faves. 
In March 2021 his track “Texel” was released on LBR records, followed by his debut EP “Grounded” on Cyberdomain records, released on cassette tape, which gained the support of the likes of Dark Science Electro, the Ballacid YouTube channel and Dave Clarke. 
His debut LP "Locked In Translation" was released this year on DiffuseRealityRecords.

Grady Steele is a musician and DJ originally from London, now residing in Paris. He creates compositions that feel sketch-like yet burned into the retina, like a passing car’s headlights leaving an impressionistic imprint of the source material. Recently releasing his debut on Berlin’s Archaic Vaults does not imply he is new to working with sound; he has been the proprietor of one of London’s most important sound systems for the last decade. An obsession with fidelity can be heard and at times deliberately perverted throughout his body of work.

El sello y las fiestas I Love Acid, agitan las noches londinenses no sólo a base de acid house y del abuso de 303 en general, sino que abarcan una amplia gama de estilos y sonidos old schooleros como el bleep, el rave o los breaks. Lo mismo que apasiona a los chicos de Polybius Trax. Como además resulta que son un invento de Posthuman, el acompañante de Mark Archer en Altern8 que ha participado en un recopilatorio del sello barcelonés, les ha faltado tiempo para organizar un sarao conjunto y, de paso, invitar ni más ni menos que a Luke Vibert, prolífica leyenda andante del underground británico más excéntrico, y practicante devoto de todo lo que acabamos de enumerar en sellos como Warp, Planet Mu o Mo Wax. La electrónica más bizarra del planeta se desplegará esta noche ante tus orejas a cargo de un cartel auténticamente all-stars.
----------------------------------
The I Love Acid label and its parties are shaking up the London nights not based only on acid house and the abuse of the 303 in general but also covering a wide range of old-school styles and sounds like bleep, rave or breaks. The same thing that excites the Polybius Trax boys. As they are also an invention of Posthuman, Mark Archer’s companion at Altern8, who has participated in a compilation by the Barcelona label, they have wasted no time in organising a joint shindig and, in passing, inviting no more and no less than Luke Vibert, a prolific living legend of the more eccentric British underground and practising devotee of everything we have just mentioned, on labels like Warp, Planet Mu and Mo Wax. The most bizarre electronica on the planet will be on display tonight before your very ears by a truly all-star bill.

On a quest to find their way back home, the Dimension Seekers arrive on a strange planet. They find it in a state of disarray and its dominating species ravaged by a deadly virus. The defence mechanism of the synergistic hyper-organism has been activated, but the primitive inhabitants of this celestial body, caught up in their self-destructive ways, fail to receive the message.

The Dimension Seekers use their alien hardware to connect with the most advanced humanoids in the sector. Aided by their newfound allies, they begin to transmit their urgent broadcast. But is it all too late for the inhabitants of Earth? Do they have the capacity to unite in the harmony of the interdimensional dance, or will they face the Great Filter and vanish in the winds of time infinite?

Dimension Seekers - We are the Iris (Voiron Remix)

System Overview:
-------------------
An audio entity nestling at the intersection of bleeding-edge dancefloor subroutines and technical filth. This sonic mainframe transcends conventional genre boundaries. Welcome to the evolution of dancefloor electronics.

Core Modules:
---------------
1. Digital Distortions: A proprietary fusion of rhythmically charged modules, meticulously designed to synchronize neural oscillations and evoke spontaneous kinetic responses.

2. BRAWLcast: A sophisticated dissonance engine crafting audial anomalies that challenge conventional norms. This module introduces intricate layers of glitch, distortion, and sonic artifacts, creating an immersive auditory environment ensuring a dynamic and unpredictable listening experience.

3. @KitchenSpasm: The epitome of controlled chaos, this module pioneers uncharted territories, seamlessly blending the organic with the synthetic.

Signal Flow Architecture:
--------------------------
- Input Stage: Raw creativity ingested from the creative minds, dissected and analyzed for maximum sonic potential.

- Processing Layer: State-of-the-art algorithms meticulously fine-tune each element, optimizing for dancefloor resonance and sonic innovation.

- Output Matrix: The final product, a meticulously engineered sonic entity ready for dissemination into the auditory network.

Error Handling Mechanisms:
-----------------------------
Digital Distortions operates on a zero-tolerance policy for sonic conformity. Any deviation from the established norms is considered a feature, not a bug. Embrace the irregularity, become the data.

Future Upgrades:
------------------
Digital Distortions envisions continual upgrades and expansions. Stay tuned for firmware updates that will push the boundaries of dancefloor electronics further towards the pinnacle of algorithmic harmony.
