SICK!

I don't suppose Camea's set was recorded...

In 2007 we came across a track called Love Beserker on a relatively unknown label called Beretta Grey. It instantly became an integral part of the Killer Robot Friday setlist and we searched in vain for more by this enigmatic young artist known as Seth Troxler. Sporadic releases followed in 2007 including the infamous Rave Loot ep, but still we knew almost nothing about this guy who was making our dancefloor vibrate every week with his blend of dark deep house and after hours techno. Eventually we sent out a few mails and got in touch with the man himself. As it happened, he had just moved to Berlin and was itching to travel and plant his voodoo seed in faraway places like Africa. We agreed on a meagre fee and he packed his strange t-shirts and a bag of records and came out to play for us. We had quite a job telling everyone who he was, but on assurances of a good party, Seth played to a full house at Fiction on the 9th of May 2008. As they say in Detroit, he ‘turned the party out’ that night, blazing through a selection of nasty-ass house and techno that bore testimony to his pedigreed upbringing in the record stores and afterparties of that famous city. The rest of course, is now history, but those that were there knew they had seen something special. Special enough to make it to the top of the most credible list of dj talent in the world, with a fanbase in the hundreds of thousands and a touring schedule that would make a seasoned rock band wince.

So before you all get aquainted with the megastar that is Seth Troxler this weekend, we present to you, for a limited time, the prodigy that was Young Seth, one spring night in Cape Town, 4 years ago.

Seth Troxler Live at Killer Robot Cape Town 09/05/08

Killer Robot began life in 2006 as a platform to host the best in local and international techno artists and djs, in the process quickly becoming recognized as a pre-eminent dj collective in its own right.

Since then Killer Robot has become synonomous with the staging of cutting edge talent, seeking out and hosting some of the biggest names on the international circuit, often with a prescient ability to... pick upcoming stars.

The list of artists to have graced the decks at KR over the last four years is as impressive as it is diverse. From the dark, bass driven techno of Konrad Black to the delicate patterns of Julius Smallville, the post industrial machine music of Alex Smoke to the future funk onslaught of Seth Troxler, Killer Robot has embraced all of the finest exponents of the artform.

Not content with just booking the talent, the Killer Robot residents themselves have toured locally and abroad, playing a series of influential club gigs as well as all of the biggest festivals in South Africa, with Bruno a semi regular guest in Germany and Ivan being asked to warmup for the legendary Kevin Saunderson in Scotland in 2009.
