- Incognito Radio: The ProcessWhile at university, I sensed a tide of fear amongst students relating to the end of their studies; so long they had been trained and conditioned to enter the semi-abstract 'working world' that it's imminent beginning was palpable. Given the extreme and slightly surreal manner some of my peers adopted to prepare themselves for this (dressing up in what looked like their fathers suits and posing for employment photoshoots, constantly discussing inane business schemes, fetishising Wolf-of-Wall Street esque characters), I decided this was a moment ripe for satire. I conceptualised an event inspired by 'The Trial', recasting the shady bureacratic figures of Kafka's classic with cutting edge UK club DJs. Juxtaposing the experimental, radical nature of their music I formatted the event as more like a careers fair than a rave, sending up both at the same time. And what better way to decorate the venue than ordering several hundred ties off eBay, and stringing them from the rafters? Naturally, the event was a success, and the event space (a conference room above an Ethiopian restaurant) we somehow secured and dragged a soundystem into to was sold-out almost immediately. My original copy below: Claw your way to the top of the system... GIRL UNIT- Chief Administrator L U C Y - Recruitment Consultant JAWSIDE - Secretarial Czar Gregzlar - Careers Counsellor To get a place on the scheme, you will need to complete THE PROCESS. Forms to be filled in, shapes to be cut and data to be disseminated. Attendance will be mandatory, and anomalies will be corrected. THE PROCESS is beyond genre, but expect to be drawn into a storm of paperwork and body shaking club rhythms. Please bring proof of 5,000 hours of unpaid work and Government approved ID. Artists: GIRL UNIT - Chief Administrator Legendary DJ, producer, and bureaucrat, GIRL UNIT is an all-time favourite of the Incognito team. A Night Slugs mainstay, he had an outrageous hit with his debut single ‘Wut’ and just kept going, with each release turning clubs inside out. Drawing influence from electro, trap, grime, techno, juke and god-knows where else, Girl Unit's sets are legendary: instant favourites from tunes you might never have heard of and classics sounding completely fresh. L U C Y - Recruitment Consultant Behind the decks in the rave or behind the desk at a careers fair, you can’t miss LUCY these days. Words on paper don’t do much justice but it’ll all make sense at the time- the world of LUCY goes fast and slow, its rough and grimey but smooth and melodic, and once you’re in its hard to get out. Dip yer toes in the water with her new mixtape, featuring Mariah Carey, free- jazz, and more all laid over twitching breakbeats and shimmering 2-step. JAWSIDE - Secretarial Czar Armed with a big stapler and bag of muscular grime anthems, Jawside’s gonna check your paperwork whether you like it or not. Catch him on Rinse FM, NTS Radio and making beats for Boxed on their legendary vinyl pressings, Jawside’s tunes are weighty as anything and end up stuck in your head for days. Playing on a sound-system that’s only gotten bigger since last time, this one’s going to rattle everyone’s jaw-side. Gregzlar - Careers Counsellor Gregzlar is going to set you up with an internship, apprenticeship or at the very least a few tunes that’ll leave you dizzy and confused. Loosen your tie to a bassy, freewheeling selection that reaches from dubstep to grime and into the cosmos beyond. It’s hard to stay angry at the system when Gregzlar’s got everyone in the postcode shocking out.
- Incognito Presents: Cosmin TRGI took notice of comments made online by renowned techno artist, Cosmin TRG, about the conundrum of small and mid-size clubs being denied a certain calibre or price point of artists, and how this had an overall negative effect on the nightlife industry. Spotting an opportunity, I got in contact with his agent and soon organised for him to headline the next Incognito event. We flew him in from Berlin to the leafy environs of Berkshire, an amusing contrast. I created an event playing off his international stature and suitability for the musical zeitgeist created by our nights. After a hugely successful sell-out event we received plaudits from Benji B, DJ mag, and others for the coup of such a booking. Of course to capitalise on this a video was commissioned to showcase the night: https://www.facebook.com/incognitoradioUK/videos/1428456857264384/ Event copy: Cosmin TRG is one of dance musics' most exciting and iconic artists operating right now – the Romanian-born artists DJ sets are world-renowned, with productions that light up the dance floors he can't reach in person. A favourite at Berghain, fabriclondon, Control Club and every other techno institution going, he’s also a fiend for the fermenting underground scene he came from, so it was inevitable that he graced Incognito’s warm and slightly greasy decks for our end-of-year blowout. Starting his career with a seminal early release on Ben UFO’s Hessle Audiolabel and going on to develop a signature sound built from ‘90s era leftfield electronics, warehouse techno…’ and so much more, Cosmin is THAT GUY - from Berlin to Bucharest, from London to Leningrad. We strongly feel that the After Dark is finally going to meet its match, and we cordially invite you to be there when it all goes down. The earth will shake, the walls will crumble and the skies will open to the pure, unadulterated moment of the night – and with Cosmin driving the spaceship, who knows where we’ll end up. Incognito’s scallywag resident DJs will be there to ensure everyone is strapped in safely.
