Grounded Theory 15 @ Arena (25th May 12)


Grounded Theory approach their 15th party and by now the formula should be pretty familiar. Take one of the best techno promotions in the world, in the best city for techno in the world and fill the line up with the best techno artists in the world. Then all you need to do is turn up at Berlin's Arena Club and have one of the best nights of your life!


Marcel Dettmann returns for his second appearance and is joined by a live set from a Danish Duo who are the latest signings to Adam X's Sonic Groove label, Northern Structures. Grounded Theory resident Milton Bradley and Stroboscopic Artefacts label owner, Lucy complete this incredible line up.


Full event info can be found on Resident Advisor Event Page. There's no tickets so make sure you get yourself there early to avoid being disappointed. More info on all the relevant parties can be found on their Facebook Pages

We Fear Silence pres. Blueprint Records @ Cable (26th May 12)


It seems everytime James Ruskin brings Blueprint Records to London's Cable club, it turns out to be even better than the last, and Saturday's event in conjunction with We Fear Silence looks to be continuing that trend.


Ruskin is joined by three S's in the form of Surgeon, Silent Servant and Sigha. Expect something very special as Surgeon is celebrating 20 years at the very frontline of cutting edge music, Silent Servant will be making what we believe is his first London appearance ever and after a few slots in the backroom, Sigha, makes the move into the main room for the first time.


Room 2 is hosted, as ever, by one of favourite London party throwers, Colony. The residents Tengui and MB & CB are joined by Russell Haswell and they provide the perfect accompaniment to the main room action.


Tickets are available through Resident Advisor. Head to the event page for all the event info. More info on everyone involved can be found on Facebook....

As this is a live set there's no tracklisting, but it shouldn't be too difficult for you to track down any specific tracks which really do the business for you.


The launch will be taking place on the 2nd June and Dadub will be joining Peter Van Hoesen at the event, being held somewhere in East London. Tickets are available from Resident Advisor and you'll find all the event info there too.

Competition: Win a copy of Forward Strategy Group's debut album 'Labour Division'


It's competition time again and we've teamed up with our friends at Perc Trax to give you the chance to get your hands on one of three CD copies of the debut album from Forward Strategy Group entitled 'Labour Division'.

After a couple of EPs on the label, an album was the next logical step. Allowing them to focus less on their traditional industrial techno sounds and expand to encompass semi-broken beats and post punk influences.

To get your hands on one of the three copies, all you need to do is answer this simple question.

What Perc Trax EP did Forward Strategy Group provide a remix for in 2010?


To enter the competition please send your answer to info@slashdotdash.biz with the subject title 'Forward Strategy Group Competition'. All entries must be received by 5pm on Thursday 24th May and the winners will be drawn at random and contacted by e-mail.

The album will be in the shops on the 28th May. To find out more about Forward Strategy Group, head over to their Facebook Fan Page
