The Panther Room:
Output Grayscale is an exploration of the deepest shades of techno found along the formative industrial-dub axis of the genre. Colorless yet rich with texture and complexity, Output Grayscale is programmed to go from zero to 140 BPM in ten hours. The extended format journey begins at 8:00pm with a presentation of left field DJs and seminal producers performing live sets taking Output’s famed Funktion-One system for a ride into the nether realms of ambient and experimental soundscapes.
Thoughtful multimedia light and video installations designed to accentuate Output’s singular architecture accompany the sonic offerings, setting the Output Grayscale experience apart from the club’s usual modus operandi.
As the clock strikes 12, a steady beat emerges from deep within the aural haze. Phase two of the evening’s program invites the world’s most highly regarded practitioners to unleash a persistent maelstrom of thickly layered rhythms on a dance floor primed for action. Not necessarily for the casual fan or faint of heart, Output Grayscale is aimed at the most discerning, forward-thinking techno purists open to absorbing raw energy and spontaneous expression well into the wee hours.
On the other side of the spectrum, The Panther Room offsets the unabashed intensity of Output Grayscale by providing a House music oasis similarly rooted in that genre’s most exalted domains. Taking cues from the founding Chicago / Detroit / NYC nexus and the vinyl culture’s strident ethos, while never lingering in nostalgia, old school masters and new jacks alike take to the decks with freshly minted deep, soulful, jazzy, funky, disco-tinged grooves that drip with musicality and vibe – a perfect counterbalance to Output Grayscale’s program.
