Made Event presents a very special evening with three of the most exciting and well-respected artists of the German electronic music scene: Loco Dice, Steve Bug and Martin Buttrich. The collective musical experience between these three doyens is unmatched for this intimate soiree at B.E.D. that will be the ultimate destination for the techno cognoscenti at WMC.

Loco Dice may have started out his career as a hip-hop DJ but in recent years he’s catapulted to the head of the techno elite with his stand-out productions on M_NUS, Cadenza, Cocoon, Four:Twenty, Ovum and Steve Bug’s own Poker Flat Recordings. His residency at the legendary Circo Loco party at DC10 in Ibiza has put him at the forefront of the underground DJ elite and last year’s stunning “Seeing through Shadows” on Richie Hawtin’s M_NUS label was undoubtedly one of the biggest minimal tracks of 2006. In a reverse move countering his techno peers, this Düsseldorf transplant moved to Brooklyn, New York with Martin Buttrich in 2006 to search for inspiration for their first album project together.

With over 16 years of experience, minimal dance connoisseur Steve Bug is truly one of the unsung leaders and innovators of the German electronic music scene. With three different labels under his helm, Bug is able to cross the bridges between house & techno with his deep house oriented Dessous and the much-respected Poker Flat Recordings, the number one source for stripped down futuristic sounds with amazing musical diversity. On his third label Audiomatique, founded as a playground for modern styles of techno and house, Bug scored a massive club hit with breakthrough Danish producer Anders Trentemøller. This year, Belgium’s number one techno label Music Man and Belgium’s number one techno club Fuse team up with Fuse resident DJ Bug to release the next installment of their highly-acclaimed series ‘FUSE PRESENTS STEVE BUG’ due out in April 2007. Steve Bug continues playing with seductive and laidback funk, dirty retro bass lines and random bleeps, incorporating techno, electro and basic funk into bare house grooves creating moody minimal and seductive music for the dancefloor.

Martin Buttrich is in a league of his own as the ingenious mastermind behind the Hannover Time Tools studio and co-producer for high profile artists like Timo Maas and Dice. Aside from over 100 collaborations with Maas, including a Depeche Mode remix and new tracks with Dice on Cadenza, M-nus and Ovum, Buttrich has been nominated for a Grammy on his work as a remixer on Tori Amos' 'Don't Make Me Come to Vegas' and has worked with everybody from the Italo house of Sounds of Life to the sophisticated pop of the Sugarbabes. Although he‘s been working as a producer for more than 15 years, he only recently started to release under his real name and has released 12”s on Four:Twenty and on Carl Craig‘s Planet-E. He caught the attention of the underground massive with his debut EP Cloudy Bay for Poker Flat and is now working on new material for Timo Maas and Dice. This will be Buttrich’s U.S. live debut!
