NO COVER 7:00pm Show
The second night of Ross Hutchens's November residency at Berlin features a collaboration with Mike McClure. Known for his live hardware sets as Autokinetic and co-founding the legendary label Analog Records, McClure has helped to shape the legacy of electronic music in Minnesota. Mike will showcase his signature sound, blending vintage and modern synthesizers with an emphasis on atmospheric and ambient forms. Hutchens will play tunes before and after, delivering a mix of house and techno fit for the chillout room.
Ross Hutchens, aka Lonefront, is an electronic musician hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area and currently based in Minneapolis, MN. Occupying dual roles as a DJ and a live PA, Hutchens is renowned for seamlessly blending hardware synths and drum machines to create immersive sonic experiences. Hutchens’ music is performed by some of techno’s most-beloved DJs in clubs worldwide. He has performed alongside luminaries such as Luke Slater, BMG, Juana, and DVS1. In 2022, he founded Uncoiled, a record label that quickly gained notoriety due to a feature in DJ Nobu’s BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix.
Mike McClure has been performing live electronic music since the earliest days of the Minneapolis rave scene. Coming up alongside acts like Freddy Fresh, Woody McBride, and DVS1, his approach to electronic music is unmistakably informed by his long involvement in Minneapolis techno culture. Earlier in his career, McClure produced hard, 909-driven acid and now focuses on deeper, more spacious techno grooves. His full-hardware live performances have an unmistakable after-hours feel that is true to his roots.
