A clubnight held at Exchange on Saturday 19th November. The event starts at 23:00.
LAST ENTRY 1:30AM
Whenever Radioactiveman touches down with his collection of faders, switches, knobs and cables you know what you're about to hear is both unique and special. His live shows have been moving dance floors since before you were born so expect to see a true legend bringing you the sounds of the intergalactic underground.
Kessler is a man who needs no introduction, his fusion of electro and breakbeat energy has been forging the sound of the nu skool all across the world and the scene is beginning to take notice. Make no mistake, the breakthrough producer is coming to share a heavy-hitting acoustic sermon.
In Room 2 NWO welcome a selection of the freshest talent in Dubstep, Breaks and Garage. Headliner Orwell has an impressive discography, featuring releases on TAPIAN TRAX, Duckland, BELTERS, and more. Most recently his tune ‘Wind it up’ is gaining traction and previous tracks, ‘WATCH DA BREAKDOWN’ and ‘Kill the Bill ’94’, speak for themselves. The night will be hosted by none other than PAB MC, a reputable and talented Bristol-based MC with energy and flows for days. This is not to be missed.

RADIOACTIVE MAN:
Keith Tenniswood's first electronic music workings landed in the mid 90s working next to Andrew Weatherall as Two Lone Swordsmen on the UK's most on the edge electronic label, Warp. The work the pair created set a bar for experimental electronics of that era with deftly produced machine funk and strange experiments. In their time they released albums on the UK’s most important electronic music label, Warp with a baffling array of pseudonyms finding their way onto vinyl pressings. They were more than prolific remixers too, reforming the like’s of Spiritualised, Primal Scream, Death inVegas & Ricardo Villalobos.
In between the Swordsmen’s explorative studio sessions Tenniswood developed his own edge on this sound landing with the celebrated ‘Uranium’ EP and then his self-titled debut album ‘Radioactive Man’ in 1999. As a producer he has married his passion for sound system culture with an admiration of Drexciyan electro taking influence from Detroit and his native land in equal measure.
To date Keith has released 5 solo studio albums, not including the 8th DJ mix compilation in fabric's respected series, and his music has seen release on a range of respected underground imprints including WANG Trax and Killekill. His own label ‘Asking For Trouble’ is where you will find his music today. Established by Keith in 2017 the first release was his 5th studio album Luxury Sky Garden and since has released a collaboration with respected studio partner Suade Bergemann of Adapted records as Victor Valiant. It's the second label that has been under the producer’s charge.
Keith’s first label Control Tower - run alongside the Dexorcist - was famed for its 150bpm and above bass charged weapons, now championed by the likes of DJ Stingray and Helena Hauff. A solid theme of Keith’s story of a producer is his love for collaboration. From the roots of his career in Two Lone Swordsmen he’s paired up with a number of respected peers over the years, working with dBridge as dBRm, Billy Nasty as RadioNasty, Craig Richards, Simon Lynch & Monoak as L-R most recently with Dave Clarke on his album Desecration of Desire.
The live environment has always been a space where the Radioactive Man sound thrives and has always been one of the most influential elements to his writing process. Working off a hardware set up, the full power of this razor-edged beat programming and fine honed melodic sonic palette, the live space has always been one of the biggest influences on his output - making music to be felt on the dance floor. It’s this approach that has always connected him with a loyal audience that has taken him from festival’s such as Glastonbury, Houghton, Dimensions and Sonar. One of the most significant developments in his life has been the development of his career mastering and vinyl cutting engineer at Curve Pusher. Today he has the edge of mastering his own work having control on every part of his releases. Independent he rightly a respected figure for his professionalism, ear and skill in the studio.
The next year will see Keith release more collaborations on Asking For Trouble and work towards building up new tracks for more solo releases as he continues his endless process of working to develop his live set and create new sounds.
Kessler:
Kessler aka Eddy Kennedy is proving himself as a staple of modern electronic music. Tipped as one of the most exciting producers and selectors, collecting records & studying production from an early age enabled him to showcase his deep passion for music. An eclectic taste is well and truly reflected through Kessler’s creative & unique style, portrayed through an array of releases on Shall Not Fade, Holding Hands, Club Glow, Hospital Records and more. Influenced but not limited to the cut throat amen breaks of drum & bass and jungle, warped twisted rhythms typical of Ilian Tape & Warp right through to drunken drummer grooves of J Dilla.
Having nurtured his sound in the UK & Ireland, Kessler relocated to Rotterdam to continue growing his fluid, forward thinking & genre defying aesthetic which you can hear in ‘Ambivalent’ & ‘Foul Play’, He created a dynamic signature of immersive breaks & bass-driven music, receiving praise along the way, and debuting his output across multiple reputable stations like BBC Radio 1, Rinse FM & NTS. Also sought out for his selections, where he outlines his distinct connection with unrestricted electro, garage, jungle & techno, Kessler has gained a reputation for tough and diverse sets that command the dancefloor, landing a residency on Rinse FM, racking up on guest appearances on Rinse France, Balamii, BBC R1/ R1xtra and podcasts for the likes of Mixmag, FEEL MY BICEP, DJ Mag, Lobster Theremin, Ransom Note to name a few.
Despite worldwide setbacks, 2021 still saw great achievements for the breakbeat aficionado, earning a nomination for Breakthrough Producer in DJ Mag's Best of British Awards and a landmark Boiler Room performance on home soil at AVA Festival. 2022 continues the momentum with an illustrious touring schedule, including appearances at coveted festivals like Dekmantel, Warehouse Project & Waterworks, exploring the possibilities of live performance and a strong string of releases yet to come, exploring various sonics to cast from his creative bow.
Kessler also boasts his own club imprints Footwork & Meraki, which sees him curate line-ups within the realm of footwork, jungle, electro, breaks & driven techno.
