On February 24th we descend upon the Funktion 1 packing Old Blue Last in Shoreditch. Having hosted some ace shows there in 2011 including performances from musical hotshots; Ulrich Schnauss, Radioactive Man, worriedaboutsatan, Antwerp and more we can't wait to trend the floor boards once again.

Topping the bill for us in February a young gentleman who has certainly been making a name for himself of late, Graphics. His recent tracks and remixes have been picking up support from the likes of Jamie xx, Mary Anne Hobbs, Diplo, Switch, Rob Da Bank and with his an EP release on Jesse Rose's Made to Play label it's safe to say that Graphics is going to making some serious musical waves this year.

Another producer making the live 44 debut appearance is Glover. Having cut his teeth DJ'ing and performing live across festivals and venues in the North of England, he's now residing in London and we're over to the moon to have him performing live at 44 for us.

Last but by no means least, Mister Sushi and Roxanne Roll will be joining the dots between disco, techno and whenever else takes their fancy.

Graphics

Right now, the music does the talking. Graphics has releases coming on London label GETME - still riding high after its recent release of the Dam Mantle's "We EP" - as well as Super Recordings, Jesse Rose's Made to Play, and new label Granholme. The releases set Graphics's dab hand with rough, warm bass and techno percussion against a gift for melody described by Boomkat as "more akin to Apparat than anything from the UK bass scene". With tracks already out on Well Rounded / Individuals, Car Crash Set, Wide Angle and Shifting Peaks, his music has also been described by the influential 20 Jazz Funk Greats blog as "a towering example of fractured British dance music" and by XLR8R as a "vibe [that] floats between meditatively introspective and deeply dance worthy". Mary Ann Hobbs, meanwhile, used his track That Week to smash 12,000 people into submission at her set at Sonar and said, simply, "I *adore* That Week".

"Showing a flair for rhythm and texture, the young artist carves a methodical path trough rich soundscapes, brooding bass, and trance-inducing drum patterns, resulting in a powerful outing where the vibe floats between meditatively introspective and deeply dance-worthy. Graphics seems poised to propel his name into forward-thinking electronic music circles..." - XLR8R
