Easter special with Justin Robertson - Event Date: 03 April 2010

Ironworks and Audiolife present Justin Robertson - April 3rd 2010 11.00 pm - £8.00 advance!

Following the success of Justin Robertson's appearance at Rockness and team up with Funk D'Void last September at Ironworks the legendary producer/DJ returns to Ironworks for this Easter Special!

Support comes from Alan Macpherson (Audiolife) and Flynn.

Justin is a true modernist: he excels as a DJ of international repute; is a creator of bespoke techno; one third of New Pop band Thee Earls, a remixer for the likes of The Whip, Bjork and Felix Da Housecat and, most recently he has written and produced an album called Silent Life.

His latest solo venture was made and mixed in his West London home with Justin adding guitar to synthetic pop that belies his love of inventive, but odd early 80s music. In the midst of a creative purple patch Justin has also just released the Voodoo Swamp EP for Southern Fried - with another single to follow for Paper recordings - called The Deadstock 33’s which he calls psych-house.

Justin works in so many genres that he sometimes needs to create new ones. Last year Justin was approached by Harmless records to compile and mix their Art of Acid compilation which was reviewed to universal acclaim in September.

As a DJ of 20 years repute Justin was the obvious choice to be allowed access to the Trax back catalogue that Harmless own and he collated a mix of house music that had inspired him as a clubber on the Hacienda dancefloor back in 1988.

Justin’s lineage through music has taken many twists and turns. He began as a DJ in Manchester and his early 90s clubs - Spice and Most Excellent - were hugely influential and cornerstones of the burgeoning dance movement. The Chemical Brothers, then students in the city, cited him as their mentor.

He also curated a second disc which featured re-edits from the likes of Boys Noize and Dusty Kid. It was compilation of the issue in DJ magazine on release and made Mixmag’s top 20 best of 2008.

Justin will continue to wear several hats, metaphorical as well as some stylish real ones!
