Francois Kevorkian is one of the major personages of the club movement, a 56 year-old DJ of French origin with a bio worth reading to study the whole history of house music. Moving to New-York as a young man, in the mid-1980 Francois glued together disco-remixes on the tape and entertained Studio-54 with them; later he made remixes on the Smiths and Cabaret Voltaire, produced studio albums "Violator" and "Electric Café" and later on just quitted playing in clubs on principle until he was introduced to Detroit-techno and decided to come back to his previous life. Today Kevorkian's sets are based on eclectic collection of stadium house, disco, dub and complex techno – however Francois may play dub step as well - you can expect anything from him.

23:00 | Morgan Geist:DJ-Set (USA) |
|

A New Jersey boy initially inspired by Great Britain's take on the sound of Detroit, Morgan Geist eventually tracked the roots of techno back to Motor City innovators like Derrick May. Unlike many influenced by tracks like "Strings of Life" and "Nude Photo," Geist placed equal weight on the emotional power of Detroit techno as well as tight programming and combustive percussion. In 1999, Geist and fellow producer Darshan Jesrani initiated a series of excellent post-disco singles as Metro Area, all of which pulled from left-field dance music of the early '80s while pointing toward the future. As Metro Area was approaching and sustaining full flight, Geist released the occasional solo 12," with "24K" and "Lullaby" exemplifying his reputation for balancing accessible (and often gorgeous) melodies with alien rhythmic elements. A true solo follow-up to The Driving Memoirs 'Double Night Time' was completed for release in 2008.
