Hardwax turns 20!
After Hyperdub and Ableton, here's another anniversary/birthday coming up that'll surely make for an amazing party, quite possibly the biggest of the lot. Berlin's legendary Hard Wax record store - one of the world's leading dealers of electronic music vinyls - turns 20 years of age this winter and to celebrate this accordingly, they've rented out the famous WMF club for a 3-level birthday bash with an armada of A-list DJ's on Dec 5th. If you happen to be around, DO NOT MISS IT!!! Seriously.
The Killasan Floor (main DJ floor) is named after the Killasan sound system that drives it. This behemoth of sound was passed on to Hard Wax by its owner, some japanese guy, who I guess couldn't make use of it in his living room.
Berghain resident Marcel Dettmann, Modeselektor, René Löwe, Errorsmith, Shed and Anthony "Shake" Shakir will be providing the ear candy among many others. Hardwax employees, all DJ's themselves of course, will also be showing off their skills behind the decks. Paul St. Hilaire, whom you might know from his collaborations with Mdslktr, will be on the mic alongside some friends during reggae/dub sets from Honest Jon's record shop co-founder Mark Ainley and Hard Wax owner Mark Ernestus, who'll be playing some of the early sets of the night.
