Reviews for 'SPANNERED':

"A vivid and lucid account of the urban squat party experience from the inside... this is the real deal... Like a pumped up and glorious U.K. version of Hunter S. Thompson’s ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’, we are taken on a 48 hour odyssey of a weekend out ’ ‘avin it ‘ to euphoric, pounding techno, in a dirty warehouse, fuelled by  a potent cocktail of the strongest party drugs and  psychedelics known to man... At times hilarious, occasionally scary, this little novella captures succinctly the feelings of spirited rebelliousness, euphoric tenderness, and crazed abandon of the underground party scene... This is the story of the real 90’s ecstasy revolution." Chris Liberator (Stay Up Forever/ Cluster)

"This is an intense and accurate portrayal of the free party scene in the UK in the mid-90’s and contains some of the best depictions of raves that I’ve ever read." Freepartypeople.wordpress.com

"Love it... It put me right back to the days when I was doing exactly the same thing in London 1995. A really fun read , with some great visual descriptions of the weirdest moments." D.A.V.E. the Drummer (Hydraulix/ Pounding Grooves)

"...its evocative descriptions will echo with anybody who has been to free parties anywhere or anytime then or since. It's all there - the highs, the lows, the intense friendships, the casualties, the transformation of some derelict zone into a temporary playground... And of course the music. Writing about music without lyrics is notoriously difficult, but the author has a real sense of the physical impact of a snare, a kick drum or a blast of 303 on the bodies of dancers. Especially the latter - it's all about the acid..." History-is-made-at-night.blogspot.co.uk

"This is the first book I have not put down till I finished it in a very long time. Absolutely f-ing marvellous! Totally gripped me and bang I was at the party. Totally nailed it... and an awesome soundtrack." DJ Simmer (Shimmy/ Problem Child)

"Here comes the noise.

It creeps up on us, quietly at first, attracting people out of the shadows, inviting us to make this derelict space a dancefloor. The volume reaches a gratifyingly loud level and I realize that this really is going to happen, this is really going to go off.

The music has caught the masses. It sounds vaguely like a distant choir, like a snatch of sweet, sharp voices sampled and made strange, and as it flows into its simple rhythm the crowd begins to gather and sway..."

 


OB1 :: Underground Techno Producer/Performer :: Bristol, UK

[HardCoded] / System Rejects

OB1 (Olly Berry) is a techno producer, performer and DJ from Bristol, UK.

He has been a regular fixture on the Bristol free party and underground club scene since 1996, entertaining the crowds with his own special blend of banging, warehouse-style techno and acid.

OB1 has been playing live techno since 1998, when he played his first live sets at Bristol’s Freakency club night.

He went on to form the Irritant live p.a. with Dr. Chill (MJ12) in 1999. Together they played many club nights, free parties and warehouse raves all over the UK and in Europe.

He has continued to take his solo live act out to underground clubs, parties and festivals in the UK, Europe, South America and beyond, playing techno, acid and hard techno and frequently features on radio shows and podcasts across the acid/techno scene.

In 2013, OB1 founded the System Rejects record label along with fellow producers Tassid and Austin Corrosive. The label was born as a vinyl only outfit, releasing extremely limited edition records featuring the founders’ own tracks (with some special guests). Later in 2013, the imprint launched Digital Rejects, a digital sister label.

In 2017, Olly launched HardCoded, a new digital label to showcase a more analog, hardware-oriented sound.

Olly has focused more on studio production in the last few years and has enjoyed releases on Isotope Recordings, Sketcha Traxx, Corrosive Records, Coaxial, CDJ303, Braingravy Records, SUF Projects, Acid Test, Chase Yer Tail, UK Ruff, AK Recordings, Hive, SUF Overdose, HypnoTek909, Techno Against Fascism, EG-303, Anarko Dub Tekno, Filth Infatuated, 303 Alliance, Avinit Records, Stay Up Forever, Wah Wah, Getafix, Rave Yard Records, Flatlife, Impact UK, Bubblejam Gold, Taro Records, Cluster and his own labels System Rejects, Digital Rejects and HardCoded.

In the pipeline are new releases on various labels, new studio collaborations and a new hardware setup. And of course parties! See you down the front!

Simmer has been Djing/Producing Techno since the early 90s. He made his mark with the infamous Bristol allnighter Shimmy, Record label Shimmy Recordings and twenty years of worldwide gigs that honed his Djing skills. This experience has given Simmer a solid Techno background that show through in his performances and productions. Now founder and resident of SiN, Strength in Numbers, Simmer is a regular at various events on the techno circuit and is always working on various techno projects both in the studio and SiN events to share his music to the masses.
