808 State (UK / DJ Set)

______________________________________
808 State stand as pioneers of UK electronic music. A group that didn’t just define an era, but laid the foundations for much of the club culture we know today. This February night they do a rare DJ set in our basement in Møllergata 23.
Emerging from Manchester’s late-80s underground, they fused techno, acid house, ambient, IDM, and experimental electronics into a sound that shaped generations. Their breakthrough track, Pacific State, became a milestone in modern club music, while their influence stretches across the wider club scene. From early warehouse culture to Aphex Twin’s iconic remix and the countless producers who followed.
They influenced artists across all musical landscapes and are cited as foundational by electronic greats like Aphex Twin, Autechre, and many others. Along the way, they collaborated with artists like Björk and Bernard Sumner (New Order), bringing their forward-thinking sound into a wider musical landscape.
Decades later, 808 State remain a blueprint for innovation and boundary-pushing sound, and their music sounds as fresh, forward-thinking, and essential today as it did back then
Limited number of pre-sale tickets available now.
