In
the first of a series of specials events featuring home-grown Aussie techno
talent, the team at NANO are proud to present one of our nation’s finest techno
exports and an exceptional main-room DJ, Adelaide’s
Jorge Watts.
Since returning
to Australia from a
six-month stint in Chicago, Jorge Watts, alias Loop Killaz, Tokyo 3 & the Azteckid, is fast becoming
a name to watch.
Through his super-tight Djing in clubs
around the world or from recent musical productions on labels such as Global
Trax, Subsounds, WET Musik, Hard Hat Recordings, Thrillseekers, Undefined
Australia and Vast Recordings, Jorge has made an enormously loud “bang” at the
forefront of Australian House and Techno music.
As a DJ Jorge has played parties across
northern America, and in
such clubs as Velvet Room, Windsor Canada,
Rednofive/Fifth Floor Chicago, and Reave Gosh Chicago.
His releases to date have also appeared in
the play lists and charts of DJ's
Carl Cox, Dj Sneak, Slam, Dj Rush, Derrick Carter, Paul Mac (UK), Cristian
Varela, Inigo Kennedy, Steve Bicknell, HMC, Dj Lucca and Chicago's .Dotbleep
head honcho Justin Long, to name but a few.
Jorge is also renowned around the globe as
one half of the dynamic techno duo Loopkillaz, which has seen successful
productions on U.S.
labels Global Trax and Hard Hat Recordings. His Loop Killaz release “Down
Underground” was licensed on Misstress Barbara, Dj Lucca and Dj Misjah mix
CD’s, and sat firmly in Carl Cox’s top ten. Carl Cox also used it on the “Carl
Cox and Friends - 2004 Ahoy, Rotterdam”
DVD alongside their debut Hard Hat release “PM 2 AM”.
Jorge has been an important ingredient of Adelaide’s club scene for
well over a decade and has taken his rhythm shaking sound round the world. And
in late 2007 Jorge
unveiled his new moniker Mr. WattO. This is the culmination of his gravitation
towards the minimal techno sound. Since returning from Chicago, Jorge has been delving more into the
raw stripped back element of techno. And now, on Saturday April 19, we’re proud
to play host as Jorge takes it to the increasingly infamous NANO late-night
shake-out.
