About This Event

Tokyo Acid Crew and Zerox are overjoyed to present a much anticipated DJ appearance by legendary British Electronic pioneer GEZ VARLEY / LFO / G-MAN As one half of LFO Gez was (and remains) a deeply important piece in the historic story of UK electronic music. Formed in 1988 with his musical partner Mark Bell, the LFO duo swiftly became one of the most respected and revered groups of the original acid house era (and beyond). Their 1990 Warp Records debut track ‘LFO’ blew minds, tore up dancefloors, took the roof off all warehouses, shot up the UK charts and is still to this day considered one of the greatest British electronic records of all time. Furthermore in an era of 12 inch singles their 1991 debut album ‘Frequencies’ shifted the bar for “the electronic music album” to a whole new level. Alongside 808 State and The Orb they led the way for albums by “dance acts” to be taken seriously as “extended listening experiences” paving a path for the likes of Orbital, Underworld, The Prodigy and Chemical Brothers. LFO were the originators of “Bleep” (Bleep Techno) a revolutionary mix of Detroit Techno, Chicago House, New York Electro and Reggae Soundsystem culture Sub Bass. Sparse, cold but warm, hypnotic and infinitely danceable. Along with other Warp Records acts of the era such as Unique 3, Nightmares On Wax, Sweet Exorcist, Forgemasters, LFO laid groundwork for much of the diverse landscape of uniquely British genres of dance music responding to US originators in the 1990s. Elements of Rave, Jungle, Breakbeat, Drum & Bass, Amyl House, Big Beat, IDM, UK Garage, Dubstep & Bassline House can all in some way be traced back to the heady initial rush of LFO. LFO released acclaimed remixes for the likes of Bjork, Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Laurent Garnier, Sabres of Paradise and many more. Since 1996 Gez has released music under the moniker G-Man on labels such as !K7 as well as on his own G Records. Gez brings his expert skills and a wealth of music knowledge to the decks. ‘We can’t wait’ is an understatement. Also on the bill… TokyoACIDCRU - North East legends TAC celebrate their 20th anniversary with a one off LIVE birthday set. Also bringing live energy to the session is Elastic Trickey whilst further support comes in the form of warmup from DJ Mudfoot Blaps.
