The Probe & space•lab : Patrick Russel , Vardae & Rizla

The Probe returns - this time with our friends at space•lab, for a night of West Country wormholing with some new faces and old friends! Ready yourselves for a proper probing…


Patrick Russell is a true hero of the underground.

Emerging from the smog of the source of Detroit’s 2nd wave, Russell has cemented his reputation as a true arbiter of the motor city sound; machine funk wrapped in slick future shock combining to create some of the most in demand sets across some of the best parties on the planet.

A regular guest at Labyrinth, Mostra and long standing resident for the infamous No Way Back celebration at Movement/DEMF, Patrick will descend upon Strange Brew for a deep excavation of jacking techno and electro pressure.

Joining him will be none other than Sunju Hargan.

Based in Thailand, Sunju is the master behind the Siamese Twins Records and is one of the most singular DJs currently treading the boards.

Regarded the world over as one of the scene’s most consummate loopy technicians, we here at Probe towers can attest to this man’s ability to go f*cking IN - breadcrumb trails of morphing, hypnotic tension releasing into deft, focused marching good times - at once evocative, locked in and entirely beguiling.

Connecting the dots between the guests once again is our dear Rizla.

We wanted to get Riz back again as soon as possible after her gorgeous set for our second edition with Shuttle & Ario. Those present at that session will already be attuned with Rizla’s astonishing selection of patient, churning ambient and melty rhythmic interplay.

Recent engagements with Riz have made space for heavier, more percussive offerings. Trading the gaseous trips for more focussed excursions into kinetic dubwise drum dynamics, Rizla will compliment our visitors with even more expert tonic for the 4th edition of The Probe!
