Blank Code Podcast 166 – Project 313 live @ Movement 2014

Project 313 is the creative collaboration of Detroit based techno producers, Chad Parraghi and Nick Bien. They each made their DJ debut in the 1990’s, and have been performing at underground events, nightclubs and festivals across North America and Europe ever since. During their performances you can expect to hear post-apocalyptic hypnotic sounds that result in an unique aural experience.

In 2007 Chad & Nick the created the full service techno outlet Blank Code. Since then, Blank Code events have been a regular fixture to the Detroit techno community hosting events including: the “Substance Detroit” event series (a Movement Official after hours collaboration with Function of Sandwell District), the “Friendly Integration” event series (a collaboration with the record label Detroit Underground) and the most recent “Scene” event series which has hosted artists such as Luke Slater, DVS1, Silent Servant, Truncate, Rrose, Tommy Four Seven, Brian Sanhaji, Jay Denham, Drumcell and many more. 

In early 2012, Blank Code launched their record label and have consistently released high quality records including originals and remixes by artists such as Drumcell, Audio Injection, Luis Flores, Alberto Pascual, and Bas Mooy to name a few. Project 313 has released their music on Blank Code records and D-Records both based in Detroit. Their Mutate ‘Circle 2′ remix has been supported by artists such as Speedy J, Chris Liebing, Exium, and Brendon Moeller to name a few. Their most recent release on Blank Code came out under the imprint Bodies in Pawn - "Null" compilation with original mixes by Audio Injection, Luis Flores, Mutate and Joel Morgan.

Nick Burgess is a student of Detroit, prioritizing the groove while seamlessly weaving between deep acidic Techno hypnosis and punishing Industrial sonics. In the short time since making his debut, Nick has played every hour of the night across notable Detroit venues such as Leland City Club, Marble Bar and Tangent Gallery as well as making appearances at the Tec-Troit Electronic Music Festival and the Lollapalooza after party circuit in Chicago. He has shared the bill with the likes of Skee Mask, Headless Horseman, Black Asteroid, BMG, Terrence Dixon, The Brvtalist, and Underground Resistance artists like Mark Flash and Esteban Adame. As a producer, his hypnotic and abrasive productions have been released through labels PITS, Junted, Detroit Underground, Ominous Earth, Collapsed Structures and his co-owned label, Apocalypse Rave Culture.

Visceral, raw, deep, dirty, dark, driving, techno 🖤
