About this concert
One of our highlights from last year was Klockwork's celebration of techno at Printworks under their Photon guise. It's with great excitement we welcome Ben Klock and a unique programme of the scene's best to return to the venue on Sunday 1st April for a Bank Holiday special.Representing the label's techno philosophy, the line-up spans from the global heavyweights to the scene's future talents. With head of the imprint Ben Klock at the top, Dystopian's Rodhad and British legend Surgeon follows. DJ Nobu brings a new edge to this billing alongside Klockworks staple Etapp Kyle.Over in the ambient floor, it's a pleasure to welcome The Black Dog - early electronic pioneers.The concept puts emphasis on the notion of a photon, to present a multi-sensory experience placing attention on the marriage between sound, light and architecture and how these elements combined influence our experience. Printworks London was chosen as the location for the launch as unique, vast, industrial spaces are a focal point for the play of light.

The Black Dog Biography
Adopting the British symbol for imminent doom as their name, The Black Dog are often credited with "inventing" the "idm" style of music, in producing a style of dance music equally enjoyable in the comfort of one's living room. While their work was showered with praise from a great number of club DJs, the DJs themselves rarely had the courage to play their tracks on the dancefloor (This is rubbish - tBd).
The group was founded by Ken Downie along with Ed Handley and Andy Turner, who had already been producing music under the Plaid moniker. In 1989, they were unable to find a label to back their releases and had to start their own, Black Dog Productions. Their first full-length album, Bytes, was released in 1992 on WARP Records, the label later to publish records from some of the most notable of IDM artists, such as Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, and Autechre. Their music was often produced under a number of different names, such as Close Up Over, Xeper, Atypic, I.A.O., Balil and Discordian Popes. These were often names for the different projects of the three artists.
Later on, Ed and Andy broke off from Black Dog Productions, to work full-time on Plaid. Ken Downie continued working The Black Dog on his own for a while, taking it easy, later to return to music production with Richard and Martin Dust, owners of the label "Dust Science Recordings". Since, they have released eight EPs and two full-length albums.
