Yo yo,
After last month's double header, Test returns to Twisted Pepper's basement with another killer line-up.
Making his Irish debut is Dutch techno sensation Delta Funktionen aka Niels Luinenberg. He first came to our attention in 2008 with 'Electromagnetic Radiation', a deep, dubby release on Delsin sister label Ann Aimee that was the centre piece of many a warm-up set at Test. Niels then delivered a second 'Electromagnetic' release and 'Silhouette', a gritty classic that out-Berghains even Jay Galligan and has since been remixed by Marcel Dettmann. We're delighted Niels is playing at Test - check his live set from planet delsin for a taste of what to expect.

Niels is followed by Robert Hood. The godfather of dance floor minimalism, Hood, along with Dan Bell, revolutionised techno music during the mid to late 90s, with benchmark releases like 'Internal Empire', 'Minimal Nation' 'Master Builder' and 'Movable Parts'. Showing his diversity, the former Underground Resistance member also released the jazz-inspired 'Nighttime World Voume 1' album as well as dubbier sounds as Monobox and furious chord-heavy bruisers under the Missing Channel and H&M collaborative guises. Hood, unlike many of Detroit first wavers, is still a major force , with the Hoodmusic series for Music Man and his Fabric mix proving that when it comes to stripped back, hard-edged techno, he's unbeatable. Having played a classics set at his Test debut last April, we're intrigued what he has planned for this return visit.
Support comes in the form of Test resident Dan 'the man' Mc Elligott.
