Distance and Benton STK




The Small Time Krooks are bringing you another night of sub-bass badness to kick-start your weekend.  Plymouth's Voodoo Lounge will play host one of scene's most influential artists: Distance.  Since the release of My Demons four years ago he has been a forefront of the genre creating tunes that provide the dirt but also include enough depth to appease the purists.
The success of his work lies in the way that he utilises percussion in contrast to mechanical sounding synths and dread bass beefiness.  The precision timing in the tweaks and beats of his production allows for the space to hear the intricate elements of his music; a sense of style that seems to be missing from the scene's current trend of producers making the loudest, most distorted, ear offending music possible.  The other worldly element of his tunes is one of his music's most appealing traits; his use of post apocalyptic voices combined with previously inaudible sounds creates a sense of terrifying suspense leaving you lost in the world of Distance on the dance floor.  Distance will be bringing the voodoo to the lounge this Friday; be prepared to be blown away by the Honey Bee Sound System as he cranks up the volume whilst lowering the tone with his eerily deep style.
If this wasn't enough STK are headlining another dj/producer rated for his creativity and profound productions: Benton.  Esteemed for his spine chilling tune Take Me Away of 2010 and his 2011 releases on N-type's Wheel And Deal label, Benton is well respected by his contemporaries and promises to provide even musical majesty as his career progresses.
Finally the STK residents will be out in force playing a massive range of styles for your audio pleasure: High T, DJC, Darko, Nakes, D-lux, MasterStatus, Ramos, Blotta, Jackart and Skeptix.  And not forgetting the Hosts: Gravity, Jman and Smallz to guide you through an evening of beats and bass.
