 ...kinda forgot about this blog!
We've actually been up to quite a few bits and pieces over the time since we last updated this page: international gigs, fun parties, amazing radio shows, etc. We also did this interview with the fab Community Bread Crew over in the US, about what we're about, who we're digging at the mo, where we see parties going, and a few other bits. Check it out, then have a dig around and check out the other awesome featured collectives... https://www.communitybread.co/collectives/nexus

 We'll be playing downtempo, tonal and glitchy records within CVA’s current exhibition ‘Chance and Control: Art in the Age of Computers' along with some live synth and drum machine.
Drop-in and expect off-kilter beats, deep drone, computer-generated samples, skewed percussion and mechanistic sounds. We'll also be responding to Analívia Cordeiro’s seminal video work ‘M3x3’, which features in the exhibition. This free, drop-in event is a unique opportunity to view the exhibition alongside live music. About Nexus: The Nexus collective have been supplying Chester with the highest quality techno for over two years now, developing from a nomadic ad-hoc party to a regular event welcoming the finest guests from across the UK, Europe and further afield to an inclusive, friendly, intimate, no phones allowed dancefloor.  Another belting line up to start you weekend right! We're multitasking for this show - radio is going out 7-10pm BST LIVE on www.techno.fm (head to the link and hit play at 7pm) And it's also our next Chester rave-up - kicking off at 9pm :) https://www.outsavvy.com/event/3081/nexus-11-w-blasha-allatt-meat-free-manchester-tickets >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NexusRadio >16< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> First up, we have the awesome Ross Alexander - who we've caught at various nights around the NW and have always been blown away by. We've got a belting live set from the man himself for the first hour :) "Ross’ music is a melting pot of many influences. Utilising drum machines and groove boxes, Ross has found the sweet spot between Detroit/European techno and electro. With Ross, “being a fan of machines”, you can also expect prominent bass, breaks and bleeps." https://soundcloud.com/ross-alexander >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Next, taking us through the second hour of the show we've got the brilliant Samantha Togni "SAMANTHA TOGNI In today’s world it’s more important than ever for artists to be interdisciplinary. Samantha Togni, an internationally-renowned DJ, producer and mixing engineer. Not only has she played headline sets in super-clubs from Tokyo to America, Togni has also built a really strong reputation with her productions in the Electronic Music scene. The last few years in particular have seen the rising star land coveted support slots for the likes of Miss Kittin and Sinjin Hawke, as well as an appearance in HUNTAR and Gucci Mane’s ‘Pony’ video, directed by renowned fashion photographer Haris Nukem. Togni has also shared stages with everyone from Clean Bandit, Magda, Camelphat, Boris, always experimenting with and adapting her sound to electrify any audience. This unique soundscape was written across 2016 single ‘Queen Nemesis’, a frantic, uptempo track featuring rapid-fire raps from London MC Janset. The track quickly racked up support from Adidas Originals, which playlisted the song in its stores, as well as press outlets including Dazed Korea, The 405, Red Bull and Wonderland, who described Togni as the DJ to watch. Togni is also a core member of INFERNO, a London-based club collective renowned for fusing club culture, performance art and techno which caught the attention of Dazed and I-D. They hold a residency at The Yard where she is also a resident DJ. Togni has performed in super-clubs like O2 Brixton Academy, Ministry Of Sound, Electric Brixton, Goa (Rome), Sala Cool (Madrid), Milk Club (Turin), Loftus Hall (Berlin), Lanificio 159 (Rome), Club Haus (Milan), Aistope Lounge (Tokyo) and many more. Although she has numerous gigs lined up at Destino Ibiza, EGG London and Five Miles (where she currently has a monthly residency), Elektrowerkz, Los Angeles (Globe Theatre and Soft Leather) and in the Island of Mustique, Togni has been focusing her time in the studio. Samantha has currently finished her new EP “Brutus” and it’s already working on a next EP. She is also working on projects with renowned international producers Passarella Death Squad (Danny Passerella), Warboy and Hectic. She has tracks lined up to be released on Glauben Records, Industrial Techno United, Subwoofer Records and Loose Lips, for which she will also do a podcast mix. Togni’s work does not finish here, she is due to have more radio shows appearance on Threads Radio in July and Techno.FM in August. The last year alone has seen her releasing tracks on Skint Records, #internetghetto and also self releasing a series of tracks which gained the attention of 60.000 listeners on Spotify. Her latest EP “Trust Issues” caught the attention of Mixmag, which premiered it.

Also playing at Nexus #11 (busy night!), could there be an announcement on the cards? ;) "The evil dark techno / industrial pseudonym of Sted Hellvis (dirty warehouse / squat techno); equally tough in outlook and attitude, SH13 is the outlet for the mayhem pitching in around 135-140bpm." https://www.facebook.com/stedhellvisindustrial/ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  https://www.outsavvy.com/event/3081/nexus-11-w-blasha-allatt-meat-free-manchester-tickets
