Function and Regis need no introduction. The architects of the legendary Downwards, a Birmingham label that has gone down in history because of its dark definition of 4/4, are now responsible for creating Sandwell District with the same aesthetic harshness and secrecy (they have no physical address, website or MySpace page: just a fax number). On stage, in a format halfway between a live show and a session, they combine analogue and digital sounds to obtain the purest samples of techno DNA.
