As a keen & prolific event organiser YUK event has received praise from punters, scene leaders & artists alike and his MARIANA project - deep, trippy & detroit techno events inspired by the Mariana Trench & its fearsome creatures - have been gradually picking up steam in a scene saturated by minimal and tech house. Past events have seen MYM book minimal stars like Falko Brocksieper, Oliver Hacke, Mark Henning, Reynold - even Jeff Milligan by a slight chance of fate - plus for the Mariana events Kassem Mosse, Mike Parker, Cio D'Or, Pendle Coven, Delta Funktionen & MLZ.

* * * TR NCH * * *

The full expression of UK-born Dave Twomey`s deep side, TR NCH is both a DJ alter-ego and production moniker. Pushing and pulling the dubby, 4am, bass-heavy, spacey, trippy warehouse-beginnings and influence of Berlin, Detroit & the UK, the Mariana Dub Sessions DJ sets explore techno since its inception - pulsating, throbbing soundscapes also that mirror the darkness & mystery of the the deepest place on earth, the Mariana trench in the Pacific Ocean. The Tr nch DJ set is a deep, ephemeral session of techno drawing on Dave's 20 year electronic music obsession & 12 year DJ career which has seen him travel to Russia, Argentina, China, Chile, Germany, Brasil & more.

The Tr nch DJ set also represents the sound of MARIANA, Dave's Japan-based deep techno event project. Past guests include the likes of Mike Parker, Cio D'Or, Delta Funktionen & Pendle Coven and the MARIANA DUB SESSION podcast, showcasing the Mariana sound, has received praise from the likes of MLZ & Peter Van Hoesen, who even worked on remixing early as yet unreleased Tr nch works. The first Tr nch 12" release is a collaboration with Okinawa's IORI, due this November on TIME TO EXPRESS. More production collaborations, Mariana tours & events in Europe & Japan & a Mariana vinyl label are in the works for 2011. Roll depth charges …

Oliver Hacke has strongly contributed to the European nightlife (some would say: morning life) with his melodic, pop-esque take on minimal dance music. His numerous records for Trapez, Traum, Background and other German imprints show a unique, open positioning which was surprising but welcomed by both the academic minimal scene of the first years of the new millenium and the rest of the club scene (the people who actually dance). Oliver's DJ sets have surprisingly little to do with his productions, covering a wide spectrum from deep minimal to house across obscure disco to full-on techno. Carefully selected tracks from the different genres are arranged in a sardonic, satirical yet respectful way which keeps the crowd enjoying the music with multiple organs at the same time rather than just with the legs.

PROFILE
Falko Brocksieper first encountered electronic music in 1993 when attending numerous raves and clubs, and soon after he began acquiring his own skills as a DJ. The european rave-techno of the time was the initial counterpoint, after-which he discovered artists from Detroit, Chicago and the Midwest, such as Robert Hood, Woody McBride, Daniel Bell and Jeff Mills.
 
In 1997 he moved from his hometown to Cologne, where he gained further influences from the city's vibrant minimal-techno and electronica scene.
As he had already acquired experience with sequencing programs as a child on the Amiga 500, in 1999, during his studies at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne and amidst various activities in media design, video art and installation, he decided to focus on electronic music production.
 
Falko Brocksieper's first vinyl record was released in 2001 on Sub Static label, which he founded in cooperation with Mia Grobelny at that time. Further releases quickly followed on labels such as Treibstoff, Tuning Spork, Resopal, Dumb Unit and Tongut. In 2003 he put out his first album "Hoax Deluxe", refining his style between hypnotic minimalism and an edgy analog sound. With his unique sound, he became high in demand as a remixer and produced remixes for Akufen, Basteroid, Gabriel Ananda, Dirt Crew, Sid LeRock, Dapayk & Padberg, Benjamin Fehr and many more.
 
In 2003 he founded his second label, Karloff Rekordings, with the intention of providing a seperate playground for more experimental musical approaches to techno and house. With over 100 releases altogether so far, Sub Static and Karloff have become renowned brands in electronic music today.
 
Falko Brocksieper moved to Berlin in 2004, in order to infuse fresh energy in his music production and record labels and he released his second album "Heavy Day" in 2008.
With the release of 'Heavy Day', Brocksieper used the album tour as an opportunity to bring about his first ever live sets which he continues to perform together with over 10 years experience as an international DJ.
