  • Berlin-based imprints Styrax and Styrax Leaves will host a label night in their hometown next month. Steffen Laschinski's Styrax empire has found a place in the hearts of techno fans worldwide, putting out a consistently high standard of dubby and more driving new material, as well as shrewdly reissuing rare classics like G-Man's seminal "Quo Vadis." Their party at About:Blank on Saturday 7th November is set to be their first ever label showcase in Berlin, and will feature two of Styrax's hottest young talents. Even though Sven Weisemann might look like the shy and retiring type, he has definitely proved himself to be quite the showman behind the decks. Using three turntables and working the mixer like his life depended on it, Weisemann is usually a reliable DJ when you want to get the party started. He'll be joined behind the decks by a special guest, Jörg Ehlert and Styrax head honcho Steffen Laschinski, who will be making an appearance under his Steven Young pseudonym rather than his Rising Sun moniker.
