SPEKTRE play live at the Liquid Lounge Friday May 21st Marlboro Street Cork City
Biography
http://www.myspace.com/spektre1SPEKTRE weaves an intrepid, complex web amongst underground dance music’s
elite. The techno brainchild of DJs/producers Filthy Rich and Paul Maddox, the dark
duo was formed through a shared passion for driving electronic music and a mutual
desire to push sound boundaries using the most cutting edge technology available.
The fusion of their combined experience in the studio allows them to construct dark,
sinister sounds mixed with twisted, haunting vocals and unnerving, atmospheric
foundations.
Always innovative, their sinful sound draws inspiration from early looping detroit
techno from the likes of Joey Beltram and R&S releases, combined with an
amalgamation of much more recent production masterminds such as Dubfire,
Martin Buttrich, Trentemoller and Stephan Bodzin. High rulers in the underground
scene, their live shows feature rave-inspired, melodic, razor-sharp beats and their
menacing releases hold the key to packing out hot, sweaty, dance floors every
weekend.
Spektre’s web is a permanent fixture nestling snugly in the corner of the studio. As
producers they more often than not hover comfortably in Beatport’s top 10 listings,
with their tracks being released on prestigious labels such as Yoshitoshi, Great Stuff,
Dekadent Schallplatten, Dance Electic, 303 Lovers and Weave, plus remixes on
Craft, Audio Therapy, John Henry and Spectrum amongst a whole host of others. In
addition, their tracks have featured on Renaissance and Umek compilations and
their ‘Live At Glade Festival’ album was released via VeryVeryVeryWrongIndeed in
2009.
The producers tipped to give Berlin’s techno crowd a run for their money”

“Spektre have been one of the most consistent and solid production outfits in recent memory and I, for one, have become a huge fan and supporter of their sound. Whether they are producing mad, peak time bombs, or setting dancefloors on fire with their awesome live sets, these guys are definitely ones to watch and a bright shining light for the shape and sound of techno to come!”
- Umek
"Spektre's productions consist of solid techno that really remembers the rave. Music that is cool but also fun and highly danceable. These guys are just going to get bigger".
