Norfolk's Luke Abbott was one of the many special artists set adrift after the unfortunate demise of the legendary Output Recordings, and we gladly welcomed him into the Border Community family for the release of his musically ambitious Tuesday EP. Luke is no stranger to the live circuit, and has recently modified his more experimental live stylings to create a new club-friendly set of dance music in the loosest possible sense to help us drag dancefloors everywhere kicking and screaming into the 21st century: domineering, unrelenting new single Whitebox Stereo is quite a statement of intent.

When Nathan Fake moved into the Border Community for his debut release Outhouse, he may have appeared to be heading off along the tried and tested European techno trail; but as he was quick to illustrate with the psychedelic epic The Sky Was Pink (prior to the monstrous Holden remix), there are many more strings to this young rabbit's bow. Debut album Drowning in a Sea of Love (which also featured the lighters-in-the-air anthem You Are Here) was the perfect excuse to take his rich treasure trove of synth-rock gems on the road, but recent live sets have evolved into a much harder take on the electronica brief, offering cryptic clues as to where the unstoppable uber-producer is headed on his forthcoming mini-album 'Hard Islands' set for release in May 2009...

25 year old sonic explorer Wesley Matsell from Merthyr Tydfil in Wales recently teamed up with us here at Border Community to unleash the Schaffel-Rave-Monster that is the mighty Bernwerk on an unsuspecting world. In commemoration, Wesley may be tempted into the odd spot of DJing if you ask nicely enough, which you can expect to be as ridiculously eclectic as his wide-ranging influences and output might suggest.

Canadian techno-meister Jake Fairley donned his Fairmont alter-ego once again after several years of abstinence to join us and deliver up the lovable club monster Gazebo, which has since taken on quite a life of its own. But with his Coloured In Memory album we saw the artist really step out from the shadows, with an intimate and personal collection of idiosyncratic techno hits (single Flight Of The Albatross is a perfect example) nestled amongst a warm and cosy home-listening bundle, which Jake has translated into a suitably lush and krauty vocal analogue-electronica show for the live forum.
For a list of Fairmont's live dates, please see the Fairmont Myspace.

From his coastal town in Chile, Ricardo Tobar began to make waves around the world with his El Sunset debut, where his considerable melodic talents were clearly on display. A second forthcoming EP on Border Community and the obligatory boundary-pushing live club set recently debuted in his native Chile promise to further this mission to fuse noisy, punky genre-busting electronics with heady, uplifting new-shoegaze.

Acid house obsessive Avus gently flexed his muscles with his first installment for Border Community, the low-slung bassline action of dancefloor workout Real, before returning with a rather more brash musical statement in the form of the deliciously raw feedback frenzy of Furry Hat. An accomplished DJ with a lengthy UK club pedigree, including a current resident slot as warm-up man at our own Border Community nights at The End, Avus' reliable productions are currently propelling his DJ career into global hyperspace.

The abbreviated form for Border Community's founding father James Holden, who kicked off proceedings with the genre-defying melodic anthem A Break In The Clouds, before coming of age with his twisted debut mini-album of next level music-for-dancing-to The Idiots Are Winning in 2006. James Holden is a man of many talents: label boss, trend-setting producer, hugely in-demand monster remixer, and on top of all of this he finds himself at the head of the pack of that very modern breed of DJ, exploiting new technology to the full in order to bring his unique musical vision to life by brazenly uniting tracks from music's past and present, regardless of scene.

The skinny urchin from Stockholm arrived in the Border Community in fine style with his bumper Six Songs EP, featuring a little something for everyone in amongst this six track fusion of his eclectic influences in his own inimitable Petter way. Then with the genre-busting bass driven rave of Some Polyphony he gratified DJs everywhere with quite a lesson in how to make a club go off - something which he knows plenty about from his own astounding live sets. Petter is also one of our favourite DJs, and over the years has developed his own brave new distinctive blend of twitchy tech-funk eclectica that is a real breath of fresh air.
