CONTROL presents Drop The Lime & AutoErotique

DROP THE LIME
Everyone comes from somewhere, but some people wear the cities they’re from like badges of honour. Drop the Lime is Luca Venezia, one of those people whose identity is intrinsically connected to his hometown – New York City. And while many have only just heard of the magic of Drop The Lime, Luca has been honing his craft for years. From humble beginnings in a gospel choir to a childhood obsession with 50s rock’n’roll, the 26 year old has been experimenting with sound for years. His influences range from Brian Eno to rockabilly (he’s well known for his 50s doo wop and soul sets) to Sonic Youth to Wu Tang. He also runs Trouble & Bass, an influential New York club night and label since 2006. The Trouble & Bass crew are the DJs who are defining a new New York sound.

AUTOEROTIQUE
Autoerotique stores electro, techno, house, Dutch house, Dutch-colonial house, rave, rock, rave-rock, indie-rock and even ska on speed dial and calls them up frequently. Their effortlessly protean, shape-shifting sound can careen wildly from project to project, so it’s not unexpected to hear them transform from Dutch house to, say, Norwegian black metal on the same record – thus, earning them the lazily au courant nick name “Autobots”. Following their Gladiator EP, Autoerotique showed off the many colourful arrows in their musical quiver releasing remixes for Lykke Li, Shinichi Osawa, Chris Cornell & Timbaland, Diplo & Laidback Luke, Larry Tee, B. Rich, Disco Bisquits, Fischerspooner and Weezer. Flash forward 6 months and the group is back in studio—following a non-stop liver-punishing tour—and excitedly working on their next single and first full length LP.

SONICC
One of the fastest climbing producers and DJs in house music today, SonicC went from being an unknown 17 year old high school student to a sought after dance music producer remixing the likes of Deadmau5, Laidback Luke, & Kaskade, in a manner of months! Hailing from Miami, SonicC has drawn support from literally every electro, house and trance DJ in the world with his mega?dance anthem “Stickin” which went on to become one of the biggest tracks of 2009. Since “Stickin”s release SonicC has gone on to release tracks and remixes on Nervous Records, Ministry Of Sound, Mixmash, Fools Gold, Mute Records, and is now working on his debut full length album for Dim Mak Records. There are few artists that have set a bar quite so high at such a young age but with a long career ahead of him and the support of some of the heaviest hitters in dance music, SonicC is set to prove himself to the world in 2010.
