Mad Racket’s 12^th Birthday featuring Daniel Bell (Detroit/7^th City/Accelerate)

“HIGH SCHOOL DAZE”

It’s Mad Racket’s 12^th Birthday!! We are finally big enough to start our High School studies, and to celebrate we are bringing a guest we have long wanted to host, techno and house originator Daniel Bell. Few in the techno world can boast a more impressive CV – his first release was co-produced by Richie Hawtin & John Aquaviva and released on their +8 Records in 1990, and was followed by a string of releases which changed the sound of the music we dance to, in particular the tracks “Losing Control” and “Phreak”. Through the 1990’s Daniel moved to Detroit, set up Seventh City Distribution and created the labels Accellerate, 7^th City, Harmonie Park (originally with Rick Wade) and Elevate (with a then-unknown producer called Theo Parrish), and assisted with the start-up of Anthony Shakir’s Frictional and Dopplereffekt’s Dataphysics labels. Ahead of the pack as always, Daniel moved to Berlin in 2000, and has played in every corner of the world over the last 20 years.

His unique DJ sets are known for their crafted minimalism and effortless, slow-building energy. His first-ever official mix CD, The Button Down Mind Of Daniel Bell (Tresor, 2000) was voted in at number two of the decade’s best mixes by Resident Advisor.

He is the real deal.

In short, we are really excited about this birthday party!!

Also playing a selection of birthday treats in the Bowlo-riffic Ballroom will be the Racketeers Four: Zootie, Jimmi James, Ken Cloud & Simon Caldwell, celebrating bringing Racket up to High School age. Now for those troublesome teens…

As an extra special birthday present, we include a Locker Lounge Bonanza featuring the Backroom Donks: Sinclair, Jamie Lloyd & Noel Boogie.

Dress-up theme for the night is a celebration of High School Fashions circa Year 7…
