ALEX UNDER (aka Friendly People)The last time Alex Under played for us, his intense aural onslaught had the Endup crowd going absolutely mental, and prompted resident Alland Byallo to name it in an online interview as the best live PA he’s ever seen.  We are therefore supremely excited to welcome this talented young producer and label owner back for another sweat-soaked dancefloor pummeling before he heads to Detroit for a headlining set at this year’s DEMF. 

AGARIC (aka Patrik Skoog)Patrik Skoog began producing in the 90’s, originally focusing on a harder techno sound which brought him global notoriety.  These days he goes by Agaric, an alias with which he delves into the slower, deeper realms of techno and house.  With over a decade of experience and over 100 vinyl releases to his name, his extended live performance is sure to excite chin-strokers and rug-cutters alike.

Thank you again and Devotion will be back in June to celebrate Pride with you.

“Well…that’s enough. Fuck it.” To anyone paying attention, those words will instantly bring to mind one of the most unique and memorable techno tracks of last year. The man behind it is Dublin’s Donnacha Costello, who has been producing for over a decade but really came into the international spotlight in 2004 with the release of his acclaimed “Colorseries”, a monthly sequence of 10 color-coded EP’s created using entirely analog gear and released on his own Minimise label. Influenced by minimal pioneers like Mike Ink, Plastikman, and Basic Channel, Donnacha creates warm, dubby techno that intoxicates the mind as it compels the body to move.After witnessing his stirring live PA at the 2006 DEMF, we knew we needed to bring him out to SF, but in the nearly two years since, he’s been nowhere near these parts. Tired of waiting, this month we’ve finally decided to say “fuck it” ourselves and fly him over for an exclusive North American appearance you definitely won’t want to miss.
