Event: Superpitcher
Venue: Paradise Lounge
DJs: Superpitcher
Music: electronic
Cover: $13 |
German DJ and producer Superpitcher (Kompakt/Germany) hits Paradise Lounge this Saturday. As a German producer with close ties to Cologne's Kompakt label (like a lot of other producers on that label), it's nearly impossibly to predict exactly what he'll do next. He made his first appearance on Kompakt's Total 2 compilation in 2000 with "Shadows," an eerie trip-hop production seemingly designed to soundtrack a 3 A.M. drive down a foggy urban alley. Since stepping out, Superpitcher has done steady remixing work for the likes of Dntel, Carsten Jost, Contriva Phantom/Ghost, and several others. In spring 2004, He released his most dynamic work yet with "Here Comes Love," and a year later he released a mix album for Kompakt called "Today." (FR)
