It's fair to say that 2012 for us was a pretty busy year for Plex parties. This one was a joint effort with Perc Trax and was yet another belter. If memory serves it didn't stop raining all night/morning and was on the jubilee weekend so we all had Monday off (hence this being the only party we ever did on a Sunday).

This is an all vinyl set is from the wonderful Bethany DeMoss AKA DJ Skirt who was releasing some amazing music on Horizontal Ground and Semantica around this time so we just had to get her on. We had a few technicals with one of the decks which had to be switched out during her set at the start, but once that drama subsided it was all systems go.  

This is a really deep and hypnotic techno workout which for me was one of the best things I heard on the night, so sharing this now 12 years on seems the right thing to do.

Bethany, wherever you may be I hope you are well and happy. Much love from us x

Wouldn't be right to not upload some of the incredible resident sets we had on over the years and this is a really special one from Luke for a few reasons.
Firstly it was the last one he played at Plex before embarking on a ROW trip and secondly it's probably one of the best I have ever heard him play over the many years we were doing parties together. The energy is unreal. 

The fact that it starts with Magneze tells you all you need to know in where this is going to go and somehow he crams in so many floor favourites into this 1hr onslaught that went down in room 2 at around 4am. It is an absolute tear up from start to finish with Luke doing very much Luke things on the decks that night. I don't think I had ever seen him that animated when playing and that is saying something for those that know!

I was very lucky to have Luke as a partner in crime over all those years we were doing Plex and it's a pleasure to share this amazing mix now with you all which was recorded at Plex's 10th Birthday with Bleed hosting room 3, hope you enjoy the ride!

Another oldie for Archive #22 and this time from someone who has become a good friend of Plex's over the past 14 or so years.

Ruaridh Law AKA TVO or The Village Orchestra as he was once known as came down South and played a hybrid live/dj set at the now legendary Sandwell District Plex. No pressure there at all then!

He delivered the goods and some with lots going on in this one for sure. It's a really interesting mix of genres throughout, expertly stitched together from the Paisley don.

Another set from the first PCM party, this time a peak time live set from our very good friend Matt Whitehead.

This was Matt's 2nd live set at Plex, the first being at the Hardwax special back in 2009 and you can really hear just how far he had come in those 2 years since. Simply amazing fare from Mr Whitehead, solid electro acid funk at it's finest!

In March 2014 we teamed up with London crew Oscillate Wildly and welcomed New York techno stalwarts The Bunker for a 2 room 3 crew collab affair.

It was an honour to welcome Sherard Ingram AKA DJ Stingray to this one and it completed a series we coined the "Drexciya effect' after previously having Ultradyne, Dopplereffekt & Arpanet play live at past parties. He did not disappoint.

Really digged this line-up at the time and it holds up well now 10 years later imo. Up until about an hour ago i thought we only had the main room audio for this party but it turns out we do indeed have room 2's as well which is great news as every set played on the night was great so I'm sure we'll see more sets put up from this one so stay tuned.

The summer Plex in 2011 saw us bring over Morphosis for a full hardware live set, a returning DJ Pete and a debut set from Holland's man of the moment, Delta Funktionen. Room 2 had a full-on Brackout special in memory of the sadly deceased Plex resident Ben Bracket.

With a number of superb releases already under his belt on Delsin Records and Ann Aimee, Niels brought the fire to the main room with a really deep trippy set which went through the gears very nicely over 2 hours.

IN 2009 we were extremely humbled to be able to host the 1st Dopplereffekt live show in England, so in order to represent this pretty major coup at the time we needed some suitable electros to back it up in the main, step forward Dave Paton AKA The Wee Djs.

Dave delivered a serious full hardware live set right after the headliners which worked really well once Dopplereffekt's highly abstract performance completed. Rough basslines, crunchy kicks and proper driving electro is the order of the day here.

Well worth checking out releases on his own ongoing label This Machine is Broken as well as earlier 12's on SCSI AV, Hidden and Touchin' Bass, Dave is very much active and still bringing the heat in 2024.

Ok so let's keep this Rome techno train rolling through shall we?

Next up we have Neel, co-founder of the excellent Spazio Disponibile label (along with Donato) and 1 half of the superb Voices From The Lake (also with Donato). 
Rome has always had a tendency to output really decent techno over the decades and these guys are very much at the forefront of it at this time.

Casper who runs BleeD was a really important ally when doing these 3 room parties over the years and always brought super interesting off-kilter artists to the line-ups at each one he curated, this one was no different.

Super tripped out techno. Another driving fave of mine for sure.

Anto Molina @ temple chptr. 2 - 17/2/2024

@blovk explains:

"For this Temple edition, I wanted to propose a live performance where there wasn't a clear conductor or musical idea beyond the physical experimentation of sound. An amalgamation of different sources and processes to maximize the potential of the sound equipment. Since I know the venue, I pre-designed sounds both on the modular synth and with field recordings and other digital synths, which I knew could sound exactly how I wanted, and from there experiment, test, play, and twist while feeling comfortable and connected with the moment."

Yes it's another one from the mighty PCM2. This time from a dear friend and somebody who's music has been a big part of my life over many years now, 65D Mavericks.

Nick played for us on a number of occasions both at home & abroad and always dropped really well crafted sets as you would expect from someone who has been in the game for as long as I can remember. This one had loads of classic Detroit jams and had a nice old skool techno flavour running throughout the 90 minutes. Well decent gear and a brilliant earlier set to shape what was to come later on.

I hope to get the entire PCM2 Plex room up eventually as when i say every single set played that night was superb it's no exaggeration having listened back to them all now many times.

The last 3 crew party we did at Corsica was with electro stalwarts Scand and our trusty friends from previous parties Them. Only 2 rooms though this time so we split the line-up across both rooms and it worked really well.

The secret guest for Plex at this party is one of the nicest and most genuine people you can meet within the scene, Pär @Grindvik. Label owner of Stockholm LTD and veteran of the Swedish electronic/techno scene for many years Pär laid down a super hypnotic set which went down a treat during his peak time workout in a sweaty main room. Enjoy!
