In the relatively short time it’s existed, System has established itself as one of the city’s best purveyors of house and techno. System has hosted nights at Mint, Nation of Shopkeepers and The Lounge as well as the superb Cocoon in the Park at Temple Newsam.
Its third birthday sees System back at Mint Club with an international group of guests.
Headlining the night with be Martin Buttrich and Frank Lorber. Buttrich is a hugely successful producer who’s worked with some of the biggest commercial and underground names in the business including the Sugababes, Tori Amos, Timo Maas and Loco Dice. He’s now well established as a live performer, with releases on Desolat, Poker Flat and Planet-E – and Mint Club regulars will remember being blown away by his last set at the club.
Lorber is another former guest at Mint and a big favourite with the regulars. He’s one of the longest-serving members of the Cocoon family and has released several EPs, an album, three mix CDs and regularly appears at Cocoon events across the globe. He also now runs record label Nummer Schallplatten, which has put out records by Adultnapper and Raudive.
The other big name playing the night is Sis, who’s previously been branded Producer of the Year by Groove Magazine, as well as winning their Track of the Year. Raveline named him the number two live act of the year and newcomer of the year for 2008.
Support comes from System regulars Annie Errez and Bobby O’Donnell.
