On Saturday 23rd October, London based DC7 Events celebrate the 10th anniversary of German techno imprint Terminal M by throwing an exclusive all night warehouse party at a secret London location, showcasing both the past, present and future of this distinguished label.

Headlining the event will be label boss Monika Kruse who will be performing a mammoth three hour set demonstrating her skills behind the decks.  She will be joined by up and coming Terminal M signing Erman Erim who will be performing an exclusive hour long live set. Support for the night will come from DC7 residents Gianni Scotto and Lorenzo Panico.

2010 sees the dawning of a new chapter in a label that has helped to shape techno history. The label ethos of Terminal M, the concept of exploring the wide spectrums of electronic music, is firmly rooted in the world class DJ career of label boss Monika Kruse. An incredibly skilled A&R, she has built the Terminal M catalogue with an instinct learned through 20 years of spinning records every weekend at major clubs and festivals around the world.

Monika Kruse has been cooking dance floors from Chicago to Tokyo for over 17 years. Beside her DJ activities the native Berliner follows her own idea of ‘Techno Funk’ as producer, party host and label impresario. She has played an integral part in German club culture since 1991, starting as resident in the Munich based Parkcafé and as member of the Ultraschall Crew. Beside her seven DJ-mix albums – including On The Road Volume 1, 2, 3 & 4 her DJ-Schedule has taken her from Japan’s largest indoor Rave Wire to the Loveparade closing ceremony in front of 1.5 million people. In Berlin – she is a regular at the world-renowned clubs Berghain/Panorama Bar and Watergate.

Istanbul’s Erman Erim (awarded ‘Best Newcomer’ & ‘Best Live Act’ in Raveline and Groove Magazines) is a one to watch on the techno scene. Erman has released 3 EPs on Terminal M so far having been presented beside Monika Kruse in the Terminal M Showcases in Berlin, Switzerland, & ADE in Holland to great success.

The DC7 philosophy is strictly music based, focusing on bringing the finest underground dance music DJ’s to London, with the aim of creating a regular clubbing hotspot for house and techno.  The brand is now in its second year in London, having started back in March 2009 at London clubbing institution The Egg with a series of infamous hedonistic parties, regularly booking international touring DJs. Managing Director Diego Carannante set up the company as a platform to promote his club nights and manage a roster of Italian techno artists including Danilo Vigorito, Flavio Diaz, Gianni Scotto, Irregular Synth, Joseph Capriati, Lorenzo Panico, Markantonio, Marco Corvino, Rino Cerrone and Uto Karem.

“Ten years of Terminal M means ten years of friends and family; of discovering the unknown and sharing it with the world, traveling from city to city and professing our love affair with the dance floor.” – Monika Kruse.
