Raw, odd and heavy techno music are the fundamentals of Warg and with many of our talented friends pushing the relentless sound we love overseas, we thought it was time to bring you CLOSER on Grand Final Eve (Public Holiday).
Slam (aka Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle) are a tour de force on the global techno circuit. Their unique, six deck, back-to-back DJ performances have seen the duo play leading clubs and festivals across the world. They are renowned for both their experience and their powerful, contemporary sound.
David Flores started the project Truncate to focus on the deeper, raw side of techno. His Truncate releases have been gain critical acclaim from world class underground talent such as Modeselektor, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Chris Liebing, Speedy J, DVS1, Luke Slater, Ben Sims, Josh Wink, Eats Everything, Joris Voorn, and many more. Since then, he has provided remixes for artists across the musical spectrum including Kink! for Pets Recordings, Slam for Soma, Trus’me for Prime Numbers, and Josh Wink for Boyznoise. He has also released original tracks on 50 Weapons and on Ultramajic as a collaboration with Jimmy Edgar, with upcoming works due on Blueprint Recordings and of course Truncate.
A rigorous international tour schedule has followed, including included stops at the most prestigious venues and events, including Berghain in Berlin, Fabric in London, Concrete in Paris, The Movement Festival in Detroit, Womb in Tokyo, Dimensions Festival in Croatia, Awakenings in Amsterdam and Output in New York.
The mysterious Mancunian, known as Cleric, has been active within the scene since early 2012. His full schedule has included multiple bookings at Berghain, Intercell, Awakenings, Fabric and many more high profile venues/festivals. The UK producer’s creative output has been most prolific with an extensive amount of releases on labels such as Arts, Soma and Figure, but now tends to concentrate on his own imprints Clergy / Projeckts. Celebrated for his high tempo and solid kick drums, Cleric describes his music as a means to translate emotion to others.
In the spirit of reconciliation Warg acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Australia. We pay our respect to the elders of the past and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of today and the future.
