Welcome to the second edition of FOCUS @ Level 41! Thanks for the massive support on our opening party with Sam Paganini & Marco Faraone, what a crazy night it was! We are pleased to announce 2 more shows on Aug 13th and Sept 10th ! From the creators of Groove On The Grass, The Artist Network presents... FOCUS It's time for us to focus on what really matters. Over the last season in Dubai our music scene has grown tremendously. As a result of many parties, many artists,and many options for our weekends, the crowd has been displaced. It has become harder to find a solid vibe which you are guaranteed good music, good sound,a cool open minded crowd, and a suitable venue for the party to go down. This event series during the summer is designed for us to get together with familiar faces, and create a vibe which we can call our own. The focus is to strengthen our community, to support good music, to express ourselves, and to be around like minded people. We look forward to working in the great space of Level 41! As usual The Artist Network & Groove on the grass crew will be cultivating the most forward thinking artist lineups. For the second event we have two debuts to Dubai. Hamburg techno legends Kaiserdisco have been pushing this music from the beginning with so much contribution to our scene, it is about time they debut in our region. Also our double headliner will be Amsterdam favorite Secret Cinema, who is a staple of all european festivals and huge impact with his productions on the global market over the last two decades. On support duty we have Deian, Maks, & Impaulce. Lineup: ☆KAISERDISCO☆ (KD Music, Drumcode) Germany https://www.facebook.com/kaiserdiscoMusic Bio: Frederic Berger and Patrick Buck have rocked the right clubs, remixed the acts that matter, put their names in bold across festival marquees, retained the highest quality through honest endeavour and made the name Kaiserdisco a worldwide authority with guru-like guidance of the groove. A case of great minds thinking alike after pooling (and maintaining) their own careers – Berger as part of Nudisco, Buck juggling a mass of other projects - their debut long player ‘In No One’s Shadow’ laid down the Kaiserdisco manifesto and the ability therein to tilt dancefloors smoothly, minimally, tribally, forcefully and progressively in their favour. With the confidence of the title running through every dropped needle and pushed play button, the Hamburg duo have enveloped the dancefloor in their own resilient way since joining forces in 2008. Their methods are in part down to being “very careful with decisions”, and relaying the fruits of a telepathy in which they admit they’ve “never had a disagreement.” With its almost business-like invitation, follow-up ‘Meet Me on the Floor’ required little more introduction but offered classiness by night never found on the back foot, with a little toughness and quiet determination when required and subtle variations in flavour from beach to bolthole. Once a burgeoning remix schedule began to pick up pace, boosted were the beats of Robyn, Nicole Moudaber, Extrawelt, and Sébastien Léger, culminating in the ‘Retouched’ 12” tweaking Steve Lawler, Booka Shade and Marc Romboy. Blessing the back catalogues of Drumcode, Suara, Snatch and Get Physical meant the unveiling of their own KD Music, always a long-term goal for the pair, was a natural knock-on effect. They may have been quoted with tongue only partially in cheek by running a label with a “we produce it, and if we like it, we release it” ethos, but it seemed a risk-free declaration given the pair’s established quality control, extending to giving rising talents a way in, and inviting Eddie Amador and Danny Serrano to their ranks. After what has been a watershed Kaiserdisco era celebrating 50 KD Music releases this year, their new baby KD Raw is prepared to get to the heart of the dancefloor even quicker, starting in blistering fashion with the ‘Three Lions’/’Fifth Element’ EP. “The important concept behind Kaiserdisco is to make the people dance...it’s our main goal to stimulate the people!” ☆ SECRET CINEMA ☆ (Drumcode, GEM Records) Netherlands https://www.facebook.com/secretcinema.gem Bio: For the past 20 years, Jeroen Verheij aka Secret Cinema has consistently been regarded as one of Netherland’s, if not the world’s top techno producers and live acts. During this time he has produced some of the biggest techno anthems including Timeless Altitude, Sonar System, Mary Go Wild and two of the popular tunes on Sven Vath’s Cocoon Records – Shake Your Tech Ass & Kurzweil. He has headlined many of the biggest festivals around the globe including closing the Awakenings Festival (a spot that only Secret Cinema, Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer and Dave Clarke have held since its inception). Jeroen lives and breathes electronic music not to mention, he still holds as much passion and enthusiasm on stage as he did in the early 90′s. After the lengthy success of his solo Secret Cinema project, Jeroen has focused his energy toward a new venture aptly named “Gem” which is a platform consisting of Gem Records (one of the fastest growing global techno labels) and the highly regarded Gem events which has built an absolute cult following over the past several years. To put it simply, Secret Cinema is one of the brightest shining Gems of the global techno scene and will continue to shine for many years to come! Local Support: DEIAN, MAKS, IMPAULCE Event dates: August 13th, September 10th. More Lineups TBA. 120AED in advance - 150AED at the door!
