Absolute Body Control Xmas Spesh: Red Rack'em + Theo Ward

The Absolute Body Control Christmas party. Red Rack’em is joined by Theo Ward for a night of extended vinyl only sets, all night long between them. The mood is festive, the records transcendent. The cheesecake is back too.

Danny Berman aka Red Rack’em has been making some of the most loved records in UK underground dance music for over two decades - Wonky Bassline Disco Banger, In Love Again, Italo Disco Banger, How I Program, Kalimba - tracks championed by DJ Harvey, Moodymann, Four Tet and even Elton John. Outside the studio he’s played Sydney Opera House, Panorama Bar and Smartbar Chicago, and founded his Absolute Body Control club nights in Bristol, where he built a loyal following with legendary genre-hopping all night long vinyl only sets.

Theo Ward is a radio host and co-runs Elody, a soundsystem party in Manchester, with Shadeda. Like ABC, Elody is DIY, has no headliners and is built on long, open format sets. That has pushed Theo to collect music for every part of a night, from the warm early hours to peak time and the curveballs in between. His sets put the obscure next to the organic: sleazy, stripped back drum machines and psychedelia meeting soul, jazz and latin.
