A meeting of two minds which further the point of Escapism, these minimal monsters like a twist of techno sauce in the mix. A fusion of all things groovy and stripped back, E.S.C. has cut a groove between genres and has already created great support with highly respected artists such as Andrew Weatherall, and continue to gain explosive reactions from dancefloors the world over. E.S.C., the point of escape, is a symbiotic relationship which joins over 50 years combined production experience to produce an ensemble of sounds that are hypnotic and powerful whenever they are unleashed. When you want to break loose - PRESS ESCAPE!
The Boardroom is a live collective producing and performing willful and sophisticated electro-techno for grownups. Sets comprise decks, DJs, keyboards, vocals and all manner of odd equipment; a dark musical journey for your mind that your feet just won't stop moving to. Current support from Roman Flugel, Weatherall, Sven Vath, Ivan Smagghe, Tiefschwarz etc.
The Boardroom has been busier than ever. After 2007's 4 12"s released as part of The 'Boardroom presents' series on Klang Elektronik, an album and 4 more 12"s are to follow on Klang this year. Further Boardroom releases have appeared on such labels as: Sven Vaths 'Cocoon' (Radical Majik), 'Hyper Colour' (Victorville), 'The Rotters Golf Club' (Two Lone Swordsmen remixes & Andrew Weatherall album), 'Harmless Records' (Watch The Ride Mix CD) and 'Mantra Vibes' (Ivan Smagghe's latest Mix CD).
Boardroom executives have produced/remixed for Alter Ego (Klang), Johannes Heil (Klang), Bret Johnston (Left Room), Battant (Kill The Dj), Black Lips (Vice), The Little Ones (Heavenly), Xerox Teens (Mute Irregulars), Siouxsie Sioux (Universal), The Two Lone Swordsmen (R.G.C.), and 2Raumwohnung (Virgin, Germany).
After a series of successful Bank Holiday live sessions at King's Cross's CANAL125 & away days @ Berlin's legendary Panorama Bar (Berghain), Frankfurt's electronic mecca Robert Johnson, Copenhagen's ultra-proper Culturbox & Reading's Checkpoint Charlie (now in it's 16th year !), their all-night party crew is firmly established in Shoreditch. Despite the credit crunch & unseasonal inclemency, their monthly Board Meeting at The Griffin (Ravey Street) continues onward and upward.
