CASA Forum Ad Lib, Glasgow, Fri 27 Feb
‘We’re exploring the future of house music,‘ says Sam Birkett of Casa Futura, with a ring of certainty that makes you want to believe him. Birkett and his fellow Futurists Chris Reid and Andy Elliot (Chakra) are a testament to the energy that’s going into the progressive club scene these days. Started just over six months ago — upon Chris’ return from the Sonar Festival - Casa throws that energy into experimentation.
‘We like to get an extra angle on house music,’ says Birkett. ‘The night was born out of a passion for electronic music and a desire to experiment with new technology. There are so many average house nights, but there’s a lot to be experimented with.‘ The approach has proven popular and Casa are now lining up some ‘top-secret’ international guests as well as negotiating a move to a bigger venue.
This month sees the visit of Dominic Capelto (Subculture). ‘He‘s bringing his CD decks down,’ Birkett explains, ‘so we might hear some of his own new stuff.’ (Kenny Hodgart)
