Club Bad is all about the "bad boys" of underground dance music. No light fluffy stuff!  Music spun by professionals for underground heads who love being BAD ;) Expect a night of creative and forward thinking house and techno with German producer, MARTIN BUTTRICH.  2 Rooms of house and techno music in a dark underground setting of Mighty.  Expect a lot of hands in the air moments with a lot of energy on the dance floor.  

A rare chance to see Martin play LIVE in the dark underground setting of Mighty cause you usually have to catch Martin behind a stage at a festival.  In 2011, the house and techno industry voted for their top 20 LIVE Acts of 2011 on ResidentAdvisor.com and Martin Buttrich was voted #8.  The reason behind this is not only his imaculable productions but that Martin Buttrich has been one of the most talked about producers in the underground house and techno industry.  His skills in the studio have left everyone in awe.  In collaboration, he’s produced pop (The Sugarbabes), Italo house (Sounds of Life) and progressive (over one hundred collaborations with Timo Maas). He’s even been nominated for a Grammy (remixing Tori Amos ‘Don't Make Me Come to Vegas’). But it wasn’t until 2006 that Buttrich came to prominence under his own name, releasing 12”s on Four:Twenty, Poker Flat and Carl Craig‘s Planet-E (‘Full Clip’). In 2007 Martin and Loco Dice founded Desolat records which has been a massive success.  Lately you can find Martin playing at the top festivals and events around the globe. Want to see who's going?  Check out the Facebook event page.

From the driving percussive force of his Drumcode label to the more open electronic miasma on his current Truesoul and Mad Eye imprints, Beyer remains one of the biggest and most influential producer/DJs on the planet.  A product of Sweden’s seemingly endless conveyor of techno talent, Ida Engberg has carved herself a career as a DJ/Producer through relentless hard work and passion. Now an internationally recognized talent whose taste for stripped back, sweat on the ceiling tech-house and techno has been the driving force behind a career progression; Ida can boast a growing production catalogue as she continues her elevation through the electronic music ranks.  Want to see who's going?  Check out the Facebook event page.
