Celebrating 16 years of one off events, LOST have pioneered techno
and electronic music in both 'secret' locations and club environments
with line ups and sets reflecting the site-specific experience. Setting
the scene in the early 90's with parties held in diverse structures
ranging from film studios to listed buildings to warehouse, wharf and
arch settings, they've also hosted residencies at venues such as the
End and Plastic People, and 'one off 's' at major London venues such as
Bagleys, Heaven and the Scala.
Integral in introducing many, now familiar names to the UK such as
Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Rolando, Stacey Pullen, the first UR sets
alongside artists from Chicago, (many who have produced work for
LOST sister company COSMIC RECORDS). Legendary is their pairing of
Derrick May and Francois K, presenting his first techno set, the pair
went on to form their 'Cosmic Twins' partnership. Indeed, Steve
Bicknell's association with Kevin Saunderson goes back to booking him
for parties in the late 80's. This means that djs are on familiar
territory and have the freedom to present sets that are a true
reflection of their creativity.
red.
Having pioneered the sound of electronic music before it hit the
mainstream, Bank Holiday Sunday sees LOST bring together Jeff Mills
and Kevin Saunderson, both playing exclusive UK dates at LOST,
reflecting two stages within the evolution of Detroit techno music.
Both, have continued to prove a force and influence within the whole
of dancefloor music and time has not diminished their influence on the
dance floor
Jeff Mills returns to LOST once again to push the boundaries of music.
An uncompromising pioneer both as dj and producer, his electrifying dj
sets have become the stuff of legend and his music concepts the
benchmark of modern electronic innovation. Over the past years LOST
has provided Jeff with a base to experiment, develop new ideas and of
course spin at a great party, he continues to define contemporary
music at every level!
Jeff Mills and Mike Banks set out on a mission with Underground
Ressistance representing a revolution for change, which their music
more than achieved. Few have not been influenced by their era
defining classics such as Seawolf , X101 and X102. Jeff Mills continued
to pursue his musical vision with the creation of Axis records followed
by Purpose Maker, building an outstanding body of work including the
Mecca ep, Cycle 30, Waveform Transmissions, Growth and many
more, not forgetting the ‘Bells’ which still resounds on dancefloors
across the board throughout the world. His influence is profound! This
is the first opportunity to experience a Jeff Mills set in London this
year!
Kevin Saunderson retains his place in music history as a member of
the ‘Belleville’ three, alongside Derrick May and Juan Atkins,
considered to be the originators of techno, specifically Detroit techno.
Influenced by the fusion of pop, disco, and funk music played by
‘Electrifying Mojo’, Saunderson was inspired to create his own music.
releasing Triangle of Love under the pseudonym Kreem on Atkins'
label, Metroplex.
In 1987, he went on to form Inner City and produced the only true
‘techno’ music with a mainstream profile with tracks Big Fun and Good
Life, which have been continuous hits ever since Over the years, Inner
City has had around 12 Top 40 hits in the UK and two Top 20 albums,
with combined sales of more than 6 million. Continuously in demand
as a dj on dancefloors across the board, Kevin Saunderson retains his
integrity as dj/producer who has mastered the ‘crossover’ without
compromising the integrity of his work. Take the opportunity to
experience a set from one of the ‘originators’ whose approach is as
fresh as ever!
Steve Bicknell continues to showcase his take on machine funk .
defining the
essence of the musical tone in the red area while showcasing the sonic
style
of Cosmic Records.
Steve become synonymous with the sound of the seminal Lost events
and the electronic dance music that it has pioneered and championed.
Lost wasn't where it started for Steve, a veteran dj of the early UK
dance scene he had the good fortune to participate in many events
that have gone down in the history of UK club culture. A truly
international DJ, Steve Bicknell has travelled the world with his unique
representation playing across Europe, Japan, Australia and North
America at the most respected clubs, parties and events. Although
known for minimal techno there is a deep affinity to all forms of
experimental music. Apart from hard hitting techno or Chicago style
acid house sets Steve is also responsible for the intimate 'Spacebase'
parties. On the production side. Having first released under the guise
of 'Lost' on Perfecto and Mute in the early nineties, Steve Bicknell's
sound took a step forward in 1993 with the release of three limited
edition EP's Cosmic Records.
Now with a considerable catalogue of Steve's own work on the label
and various sub-divisions Cosmic stands at the forefront of global
electronic music. Other labels within the Cosmic family include
Clubtracks, featuring Steve's housier S.B.Projects and eps from
Chicago producers; Lost Recordings, music produced to reflect the
LOST dancefloor and ID(entity); work by prominent producers with a
close affinity to the Cosmic/Lost sound, produced under alternative
guises Steve Bicknell has also produced soundtracks for arts council
theatre projects and productions. There are few who have continued to
push the boundaries of music, promotion and helped shape a scene.
