SNAKEBITE – The Red Room Rave
Fri 22 Feb 2013, 9 pm
Hanoi Rock City
From Hanoi Rock City:
For the first time ever HRC is throwing a Red Room-only minimal, deep house, tech house dance party with extended sets, tripped-out live visuals, a hypnotic light show and reconstructed space.
Ravers will be invited into the venue not via the main entrance but instead via our private entrance over the bridge where they will be plunged into a whirlpool of abstraction and minimalism through music and art.
This is not an ‘anyone can do it’ kind of DJ party but a quality-driven event that pays deep homage to experienced and pioneering artists who continue to challenge and shape the musical identity of the city. The DJs who are launching this event on Friday 22nd Feb have over 15 years experience behind the decks, playing everywhere from massive international festivals to prestigious fashion shows to secret, underground basement parties.
Restricted, too, is the number of performers on the night: Snakebite provides the artists with an opportunity to let their music breathe whilst taking their dancing crowd through a complete musical journey with 2 hour extended sets each. These sets will be recorded and posted online for the rest of the world to see that Hanoi has become a serious contender for electronic music.
Meet the artists for the very first Snakebite and get ready to dance!
◙ CYBERSNAKE ◙
Born and raised in eastern Germany, Cybersnake experienced the fall of the wall and therewith, gained freedom as a teenager. In 1992 he found himself – by fluke – in the legendary Berlin Club PLANET, which opened his love to electronic music. With his passion for vinyl he started rocking the turntables in the mid 90s. Still connected to the Berlin tech house scene, Cybersnake has become something of a prized asset in the region. His legendary tech-house and minimal sets earned him the call-up from CAMA to support Jeans Team at American Club, and he is always one of the first names on the list for multi-DJ events across the city. Cybersnake has recently returned from Australia where he played the huge Raibow Serpent Festival.
◙ DJ-Y ◙
DJ-Y made a massive splash in HN’s electronic pool last year as one half of VN Tribes. The duo brought class, substance and innovation to the dance floor with a project that blended hand held recorded roots samples from Vietnam’s rich ethic music traditions with classic house tunes. DJ-Ys roots go back to the 90s in Paris, where he fell in love with the ‘techno rave spun vinyls regularly in some of the top clubs: Rex, Queen, Batofar, Peniche Concorde, Wax Bar to name a few, as well as playing some of the brightest music cities in the world: London, Amsterdam, Ibiza and Barcelona. DJ-Y’s last appearance at HRC was for the 2nd year bday party, where he kelp the pulse of the room thumbing through the early morning hours.
FREE ENTRY IN TRUE SPIRIT OF THE RAVERS.
