Once again we at the Barn Club in Penzance and promise to bring you the very best mix of fresh, exciting local DJ talent!
To kick things off this month we welcome DJ RAW to warm things up!
Originally cutting his teeth on the illegal rave scene in the early 90's DJ Raw had a heavy influence within the South West hosting Trans4mation. He could also been seen playing at the now much missed Shire Horse, spinning along side Hardcore favourites Ramos, Sy, Easygroove and Hixxy. In '96 Raw took a break from all things musical due to other commitments, but in 2007 DJ Raw was back with a brand new sound and a fresh new enthusiasm for all things House & Electro.

P.S. For those who are wondering - Schranz is the name given to European (especially German) hard techno, a style of techno typically around 150-170 BPM and based around massively bass-heavy kick drums, driving percussion and distorted, looping synth noises. The music can however be slower.
Origin of the term: The term originated in 1994 when Frankfurt-based DJ Chris Liebing used it to describe a certain type of techno when searching for records at the now closed "Boy Records" store in Frankfurt. The next time he visited the shop, the owner had a selection of harder techno records filed under "Schranz". -- "For me personally, since that day in 1994, "Schranz" is a description for various dark and distorted sounds in Techno" (Chris Liebing 2002). To this day, there still remains speculation about the meaning of the word "Schranz" within the Techno scene. While many believe it to simply imitate the sound of a crunchy lo-fi percussion loop, there are other interpretations. For one it is a surname found predominantly in Austria. Also, "schranzen" means to eat loudly and voraciously in Dutch slang. There are speculations, however, that it was meant as a contraction of the two German verbs schreien (scream) and tanzen (dance), i.e. "schr-anz".
