POGO: Bodytonic & Melodic present: Dominik Eulberg & Ron Morelli - Sat August 10th

Melodic

We're honoured to be teaming up with Bodytonic for our Pogo debut in bringing you a very special line-up August 10th in the Twisted Pepper.


We'll be hosting the stage room with DOMINIK EULBERG as our main act. This man is one of the finest purveyors of melodic, electronic music in the business. He has excelled as a singles artists but has gone to lengths to remind us that his blissful, emotive vision of techno does not conform to the sterile, self-serious club paradigm.


In the basement, the Bodytonic boys are hosting L.I.E.S label boss RON MORELLI. The label is based out of Brooklyn, New York and is committed to the underground. It topped the 2012 RA label pole... a seriously impressive feat.


Also in the basement will be hugely talented LUMIGRAPH, an emerging producer from Dublin. Inspired by mix of acts ranging from Wu Tang Clan to William Basinski, he makes rough-hewn, unpredictable house and techno, with nods to dub and hip-hop’s sample aesthetic.

BIOS:


DOMINIK EULBERG


Attempted by so many people vainly, Dominik Eulberg is the one who can claim for himself having reconciled ornithology and techno successfully. Dominik Eulberg, raving ornithologist from the Westerwald is both: an international booked DJ in spotlight and an observer of the domestic Flora and Fauna in quiescence – a master of reconciled contradictions.


Since he released his first disc in 2003 on Traum Schallplatten, the superior producer disperses ecological expertise and the sound of chirping birds in his tracks. He uses nature as a contentual and dramaturgical source of inspiration for his productions since 1993.


A walk in the woods – this is Dominik´s Blueprint for exciting music, because "there you never know what is expecting you behind the next junction". In the forest some rustle in the coppice can turn into a hookline: every single sound is important and endows the tracks with the necessary vitality the dancefloor needs. If minimum or maximum: Not giving a damn, the audience loves extraordinary character as much as a great Basedrum. Combining both, Dominik isn´t held in high esteem - which he usually savours in more blinkered clubs all around the world – wrongly.


"More flesh to the bones", this is his motto. In times of skeletonized diet-techno this is an indispensable estimation more than ever. This is one of the reasons why the DJ, producer and remixer did more than just establishing reputation. Since many years he masters the situationally rocking on 12”-format just as the full-length of an album.


In 2007 Dominik was awarded the "Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik" for his second album "Heimische Gefilde", with which he achieved a lot for the generation-spanning acceptation of techno. It was released on Traum Schallplatten, which is run by its most important patrons Jacqueline and Riley Reinhold. He repeatedly obtained front positions at readers polls of the magazines groove, Raveline and De:Bug. He was even voted for Newcomer and Producer of the year. Also his creations as DJ and his Remixes for various artists such as Hot Chip, DJ Hell, Tiefschwarz, Nathan Fake or Roman Flügel were awarded several times.


He will continue to indulge his affectation for more emotionality in the beat-corset in future. The creativity of his musically work will stay complex and innovative, but remains always accessible due to the inherent down-to-earthness. After all one wants to take his audience on a journey, not wanting to ditch it at the ticket counter.


RON MORELLI


Quietly kicking around the grime of the New York City underground for some time, Ron Morelli started the L.I.E.S. label in 2010 as an outlet to release the music of a tight knit group of friends who were making tracks around the city. What started as a small project to release his own music and those of local producers, it slowly evolved as more people came out of the woodwork with contributions for the label.


Best known for his ability to bring once obscure artists to light and not adhering to genre specific limitations, Morelli has kept up with an unrelenting release schedule in 2012 which saw the label single-handedly releasing twenty records through the course of the year.


With this non-stop work ethic came numerous end of the year accolades deeming L.I.E.S. "top label of the year" from such publications as Resident Advisor, Little White Earbuds and Junoplus, with further nods from FACT magazine and a host of others.
Known for his sonically grating dj style, Morelli has been on the road much of the last year, playing almost 6 out of 12 months all over Europe and beyond. When time allows, Ron also produces music under the monikers of L.I.E.S., U-202, Two Dogs in a House (w/Steve Summers), and Bad News (w/Doug Lee). To say he's a busy man is an understatement.
