PRESENT TENSE: AUBREY AND LEON MITTERNACHT

Present Tense
Saturday August 3, 2019
The Crofters Rights

After the two room adventures with Ornate Music at the Jack Of Diamonds, Present Tense returns to The Crofters Rights for another focused session of deep-diving techno and electro.

We’re utterly thrilled to welcome a true legend of UK electronic music – an underground hero who’s been tirelessly pursuing his vision without a shred of hype since the early days. Aubrey scored his first releases back in 1990, and set up his classic Solid Groove label in 1991. He was DJing infamous raves like Energy and Raindance, and clubs like Ministry Of Sound, Deep Space, Turnmills and scores more in the heady rush of 90s UK club culture. His back catalogue is mammoth, from releases on Ferox and Mosaic back in the day to more recent outings on Thema, Out-Er and Assemble Music. From rowdy techno to introspective electronica and so much more in between, he’s quite simply the real deal, and we can’t wait to welcome him into the Present Tense family.

Alongside Aubrey, we’re also inviting Manchester hero Leon Mitternacht. A staple of the scene for over 10 years, Leon is the kind of dedicated champion of all things electronic we love. He’s a regular on line-ups across his hometown and beyond, and he’s been putting on wicked parties for years – a kindred spirit for everything we do.

Not forgetting of course our beloved resident Etym, one of Birmingham’s finest, who knows exactly how to set the right mood whatever hour of the night we hand him.

This is going to be an intimate event so please make sure you get down early to get the full dose of the Present Tense vibe.
