Six years of Shanti club

The birthday that the Shanti club celebrates in February traditionally becomes an exceptional event. To this occasion, Shanti prepares all year and celebrates it with unprecedented grandeur. The birthday can be called the quintessence of the vibrant club life that takes place here throughout the year: on this day, all the club's venues open their doors for celebration and fun. The Shanti party features old and new friends, a sea of positive emotions, surprises and gifts, exotic treats, dancing until exhaustion, and amazing music. Every time on this day, the club is packed to capacity, with champagne and cocktails flowing freely.

Among the gifts that the club prepares for visitors on its birthday, a special place is occupied by the musical program. Each time at Shanti, sets from the best resident DJs are featured, definitely complemented by a performance from a guest star. Boris Romanov, also known as DJ OnLee, is widely known for his extensive musical erudition, as well as his own series of parties "Subelectronic," which have been successfully held at Shanti for several years now. DJs Deep Blu and Dolshik, curators and permanent residents of the Reflection series, present different facets of the multifaceted genre called techno, while another regular participant of this series, the fine connoisseur of deep house Anton Zap, will enrich the program with tender and lyrical records. Additionally, that night, the beloved DJ Me will present his celebratory set.

A live performance for the birthday will be provided by the living legends of ambient techno, the duo Reagenz. Behind this name lies Hamburg native David Moufang, also known as Move D, as well as American John Sharp, better known under the alias Spacetime Continuum. Moufang is arguably one of the most active figures on the modern German techno scene. In the 90s, David experimented a lot with ambient music and became famous thanks to releases on influential labels such as FAX, Instinct, and Warp. With the advent of the new millennium, he became one of the leaders of German techno and has repeatedly brought numerous projects to Shanti. John Sharp, whose records in the 90s stood alongside the works of Autechre, The Orb, Future Sound of London, and Global Communication, on the contrary, lived a hermit’s life in the 2000s and hid from public attention in Japan.

The collaboration between Sharp and Moufang began back in 1994. At that time, together they recorded the debut album Reagenz, which sounded in clubs on both sides of the Atlantic. After that, the musicians successfully returned to their solo projects and only met again 13 years later. Ironically, their reunion venue was Tokyo, where both musicians decided to attend a concert by the band Autechre. Soon, Sharp and Moufang were recording in the home studio of a Tokyo collector of vintage synthesizers. Their performance at Shanti will be part of a world tour dedicated to the release of the new Reagenz album. The record has become a kind of bridge between two eras. The album "Playtime" combines the contemporary sound of modern techno while preserving all those features that made its authors stars in the 90s – the softness of analog synthesizers and the tranquil harmony of ambient.
