Perc
Biography
As well as being one of the most evocative album titles of the year, Perc's "Wicker & Steel" has been one of 2011's standout records. Ali Wells' take on techno is stripped-back and monochrome, and refuses to remain dogmatically fixed to its parent genre. Instead he draws in influences from early industrial, coldwave, ambient and drone, creating tracks that seamlessly veer from passages of threatening ambience to firestorms of percussion and distortion. His DJ set promises similarly intense contrasts between light and shade, and constant, driving dancefloor energy.
