Here's the blurb: Following on from the huge success of our recent opening night featuring Pittsburgh's Shawn Rudiman, Flashpoint is very pleased to announce the next event, showcasing Glasgow's superb deep techno label, Iridite. Conceived in the summer of 1999 by Jason Brunton and Rei Loci, Iridite has swiftly become one of the most critically acclaimed of a new wave of labels which have brought the focus in techno back to futurism, soul, depth and funk - away from the generic loopiness of the late 90s. Created as a platform for local talent both established and new, the label has followed a policy not of genre but of quality, releasing compilation EPs with tracks ranging from dub and experimental through electro to Detroit techno. These cuts instantly struck a chord with the techno world, being played and supported by the likes of Fabrice Lig, Laurent Garnier, DJ3000, Buzz Goree, Claude Young, Dan Curtin, Steffan Robbers, Titonton Duvante, Shawn Rudiman, Dan Bell, Anthony Shakir, Orlando Voorn, Arne Weinberg and many more! Having released four EPs since inception, as well as one for fellow deep techno specialists Down Low, they are now preparing for their imminent fifth release, which also sees them as one of the first UK labels to be accepted under the wing of the legendary Detroit techno distributors, Submerge. Presenting the labels talent will be founder member Jason Brunton, who has also appeared alongside Hutton Drive for Soma and 20:20 Vision and remixed on Laws of Motion and Fenetik - but is most renowned for his work on Iridite, including the stunning 'Track Title 2' on Iridite 002, which received huge acclaim from DJs and music lovers worldwide, and was licensed to a Claude Young compilation amongst others. By his side will be Rei Loci (who also produces with Jason as Methodology), performing his debut London live set. Famed for his quirky yet exceptional funky releases both on Iridite and fellow Glasgow imprints Headspace and Seventh Sign, we have been warned to expect something very special from him as he returns from over a years hiatus to unleash a brand new live workout upon us! Jason and Rei will also be joined by Elijah aka Laurence Hughes, one of Glasgow's finest DJs and a resident at Traxx alongside Tom Churchill (Headspace) and Jamie Thomson (Nurture). (For full artist profiles and more info, please visit www.iridite.com) Once again these three will be backed up by the fine Flashpoint residents, Brendan Nelson & Guy Thackeray (Non Stop DJs), and Matt Chester (11th Hour Recordings).
