After stirring things up a bit in the states, Audiofly and Flying Circus move across the pond to make waves in London for a special show with Konrad Black and Maayan Nidam at a secret location, presented by Unleash.
Hailing from Vancouver, Canada, Konrad Black has lived and made music all over the world. He moved to London in 2002 and produced drum and bass for Ed Rush and Optical’s Virus Recordings while also collaborating with March 21st to produce techno under the moniker Headgear. He settled in Berlin years ago and landed one of the most coveted residencies in the world at the legendary Panorama Bar. He has been a regular at Fabric, Rex in Paris, Tenax in Florence and Privilege in Ibiza, among others. An accomplished producer and remixer, Konrad relocated to LA to remove himself from the techno mecca and gain some individual perspective, away from any outside musical influences. He teamed up with fellow producer Martin Buttrich to record an album, yet to be released. Upon returning home to Vancouver, Konrad teamed up with Mathew Jonson, Graham Boothby and Jesse Fisk and founded their Wagon Repair imprint. The label is home for their productions and creative endeavors.
Accompanying Mr. Black in London is the talented Maayan Nidam, who also goes by Miss Fitz. Born in Tel Aviv, Maayan picked up DJing in 1999 after a six-month stint in New York where she started playing in bars and at small parties. After another six-month stint, this time in Amsterdam, she found her way to Berlin where she found her inspiration in everything from Jamie Lindell’s experiments in live sampling to the city’s legendary underground party scene. She has been there for nearly a decade and has built up an impressive discography under her many monikers. She has released EPs on Raum, music, Freak n’ Chic, Contexterrior and circus company as Miss Fitz. She also goes by Laverne Radix and has released singles for Oslo’s Love Letters from Oslo and for Raum. Her debut release under her own name came in March 2009 and was followed by an EP on the international label Perlon. Both Konrad and Maayan are seasoned professionals and these Berlin natives are sure to make the London edition of Flying Circus an unforgettable night.
