Podcast 027: Brian Kage
Iron City Sound
It’s been a long time coming! We are very pleased to welcome a few of the Beretta boys out celebrating the Detroit record label’s 10-Year Anniversary.
Since first meeting them through an official Movement festival afterparty collaboration in 2010, Humanaut has come to know and respect the Beretta outfit for their authenticity, dedication to their work, and loyalty to their city. It is little surprise that their taste is spot on… and that we get along so well!
Beretta co-founder Brian Kage and colleague Luke Hess form the techno duo Reference. Seth Yender, in anticipation for a new release on the Deeplabs imprint, will be performing a live set. Charley Ten will also be arriving to complete the tri-force as the visual element of the night.
Soul over hype. May the zone be with you.

Established in 2002, Beretta Music is a collective from Detroit focused on the future sound of techno music. Beretta has become one of the best musical outlets for new artists to expose their music to the world. Beretta releases have been charted and played by some of the most respected names in dance music today. We strongly believe in quality over quantity and our motto is: “Soul over Hype”.
Our labels include Beretta Music for classic Beretta releases, compilations, & special projects, Beretta Grey for late-night deep techno releases, and Beretta Red for bigger dance floor style techno/house releases. We also continue to release our music on vinyl (cut at the world-famous Archer pressing plant in Detroit.)

:::::::::::::: DJ SET / DEXTER (NL) :
Electro | Bass | Techno | Disco
[Clone / Rush Hour / Klakson]
Dexter came at the dance music world from the same side as you and me: the dancefloor. He’s made everything from driving trance to quirky rock. Looking back to his releases it’s easy to hear why contemporary bass music figures like Boddika and Bok Bok are playing his music.
There’s something about Dexter’s elastic basslines and sense of funk that dovetails with the timeless nature of electro itself. Plenty of UK names make it on to his mixes, along with fellow electro adopters from his homeland and original innovators from Detroit.

Launched in Detroit in 1995 by BMG and Erika, the IT team has become known for their signature label that pushes brain-twisting techno, classic electro and experimental music across time and space by way of the Motor City. In recent years, they’ve also developed a following of diehards for their ‘No Way Back’ parties. These intimate, audio/visual assaults on the senses have become one of the annual must-attend afterparties of Detroit’s Movement Festival.
Join us at Out of Order as they bring their sound to Pittsburgh for the first time.

FACEBOOK EVENT: http://www.facebook.com/events/252705864828580
For month four, we shift gears as Humanaut hands the keys over to one of the most respected music men in Pittsburgh: CUTUPS (AKA Geoff Maddock). Over the years, Geoff has worked tirelessly to bring a huge variety of cutting-edge music through this city. Join us as he highlights some of the best artists from the region in another round of Belvedere’s dance floor punishment.

FROM CUTUPS:
“When Humanaut crew asked me to plan an instance of their new but already smashing Out of Order night, I jumped at the chance. They always bring a high production value to their shows and have commanded alot of respect among the informed dance music crowd in pittsburgh. It was fun to put together a lineup that would rep my own tastes, but also be a hit at a Humanaut party.
Jason Burns immediately came to mind as somebody I’d like to play this night. He’s one of Cleveland’s originals in the dubstep scene, both as a dj for regular nights and one offs, a producer who’s been getting play all over (“Back 2 You” was one of XLR8Rs top 100 Downloads of 2011), and co-promoter bringing in top acts in the genre for more than a few years. His style leans heavily to the deeper, soulful end of the spectrum, but he doesn’t really limit himself to one style or mood, other than just playing top notch tunes.
Vasculator is a long time fan, electronic hardware geek, and producer of techno and left field electronic music, but has existed mostly on the fringes of pittsburgh’s scene. He’s been a collaborator with the Technoir Audio crew doing live techno, toured doing modular synth work with
industrial act Prometheus Burning, and played blistering original breakcore live sets in Detroit and the west coast. This time he’s doing and all new stripped down techno live set that combines his digital and analog gear.
I was looking for one more guest to round out the night, when I remembered that Jose “Mr. Hamilton” was looking to put together a classic IDM set. You may know him from his live sets as Mr. Hamilton or as part of Ekofield, or his deep house sets at various spots around town, but he’s also a big fan of left field electronic music and will be opening up with a set of 90s/ early 2000′s selections.
