House of God was started in January 1993 by Chris Hog, Surgeon, Sir Real & Paul Damage. Named after a seminal electro 12" by D.H.S., House of God was intended to be an antidote to the cheesy hardcore and house nights that relied on fashion or star djs rather than musical content to make a good party. Over the years, this became the core philosophy behind the HOG, using residents in all of the rooms, supporting the developing UK techno artisits and not relying on star djs for the sake of their names.
When HOG moved to the city centre of Birmingham in the summer of '93, it quickly developed into a seminal nightout for ravers. No dress code, cheap entry and cheap beer created a loyal and large following at the HOG nights in the Dance Factory. These first few years helped develop the core HOG sound of techno/house alongside drum n bass and breaks rooms. that became the template for many other nights around the Midlands and the UK.
Always with an innovative music policy and some huge productions, HOG has provided the Midlands with legendary parties of all sizes at venues ranging from the 2,000 capacity Que Club to Subway City and the Sanctuary. HOG has also been responsible for most of the big names in UK techno playing their first events in the Midlands, with Dave Clarke, James Ruskin, Neil Landstrumm among them and also helped to launch the careers of artists such as Surgeon & Louis Osbourne.
14 years on, HOG continues to return to haunt the Midlands underground on an irregular basis
Thursday 31st July 2008 RESISTOR RECORDS Presents edIT (planet mu, the glitch mob) The Hare and Hounds Kings Heath Birmingham
A night of hyper intricate hip hop 9-1am £3!!!!
Hailing from Los Angeles, Edward Ma has had a profound effect on the musical terrain of the city, especially in the realms of hip-hop. His own desires to see what the next levels of technology in the genre were manifested in the 2004 album 'crying over pros for no reason' album for PLANET MU. Aside from albums a slew of remixes hit for the likes of DAEDALUS and PLUG RESEARCH. edIT garnered a lot of fame through his mash-ups of Top 40 radio jams by ridiculously cutting up a cappellas with hyper-glitch edits over original and popular hip-hop beats. The popularity of his mash-ups also led to a full-length mixtape commissioned by HEFTY RECORDS. With a new single out dropping remixes from J-DILLA, PHAT KAT & DABRYE, the bombs keep dropping.
'A love of hip-hop and a desire to create what I hear to be hip-hop in the future. A fusion of complex cutup edits and rhythms mixed with catchy aggressive dancefloor hip-hop… We are just trying to make the music that we want to hear because no one else has made it for us.'

It's Pure Techno's 4th birthday party on the 9th of may & we've two of underground techno's most respected and exciting names appearing, they're also two of my favourite producers, so i'm well bloody chuffed to have them on =]
MAKATON: steve "makaton" bailey, owner of the Rodz-Konez label which has hosted tracks by some top producers [including rather obviously: makaton, but also: regis, inigo kennedy, Olga+Jozef, Fumiya Tanaka, Female, paul bailey, 65D mavericks + more]. Makaton's sound is industrial, atmospheric + forward thinking, truly unique music in a sea of clones.
Check out Makaton's website www. rodz-konez. co. uk where, in the livefeed section, you can grab a load of highly individual sets from some of techno's most innovative producers.
MARK HAWKINS: Currently residing in nottingham where he's resident at the fantastic Pure Filth, mark is another producer with a truly unique sound, i think my best description would be: twisted and slamming [check out the links below].
