Surgeon & DJ Pete (aka Substance) land in Bristol for a rare all night long set at Strange Brew on April 3rd. Two legends of the techno genre in their own right, Surgeon & DJ Pete are known for their deeeep musical knowledge and uncompromising approach behind the decks and in the studio. Expect an immersive journey through the many corners of techno & dancefloor music. Berlin meets Birmingham in Bristol, this is definitely not one to miss. If you were at Sandwell District (all night long) a year prior, you know the score. Surgeon - DYNAMIC TENSION / COUNTERBALANCE / DOWNWARDS / TRESOR Surgeon has been at the forefront of UK techno since 1992, emerging from Birmingham his work is inseparable from the city’s industrial spirit and deep-rooted underground culture. Surgeon helped pioneer Birmingham’s legendary House of God party and held a pivotal 3 year residency at Tresor (Berlin) in the early 90s. He has maintained a long-term relationship with the institution, including recent albums 'Shell~Wave' & 'Crash Recoil' released on Tresor Records. The recording of Surgeon & DJ Pete's 5 hour set in Tresor's Globus room for the 30 Years of Surgeon event is well worth a listen. With decades of influence on the global underground and international respect, Surgeon represents a commitment to authenticity & a sound that continues to sharpen rather than soften. DJ Pete aka Substance - CHAIN REACTION / OSTGUT TON / SCION VERSIONS DJ Pete, also known as Substance, has been a constant driving force in shaping electronic music for the past 30 years. Emerging as a DJ in Berlin’s early techno days in the late 1980s, he became part of the formative underground movement that helped define the city’s sound. His early production work with René Löwe (aka Vainqueur) on Chain Reaction defined dub-techno in its early stages. DJ Pete has a deep and longstanding connection with Berghain since the iconic techno institution's early days as a resident DJ & with contributions to the Ostgut Ton, the club's influential in-house label. With decades of experience behind the decks and in the studio, DJ Pete remains a quiet but commanding presence — deeply respected by peers and audiences. Whether performing solo or in collaborative settings, he brings a sense of integrity to his sets, embodying a dedication to techno as an evolving culture rather than a passing trend. 22:30-04:00 03/APR/26 @ Strange Brew 10-12 Fairfax St, Bristol BS1 3DB
