Speedy J US Tour Dates @ Sullivan Room On February 8, 2008

New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Sullivan Room) - Speedy J, aka Jochem Paap the enfant terrible of the techno scene returns with his latest album "Loudboxer" utilizing a decade's worth of knowledge to produce a harsh and direct album that is on first name terms with the rhythms of the dancefloor. He now embarks on a US tour with the kick off at Sullivan Room this Friday, February 8th.

Speedy J is a cantankerous type. Always shifting the boundaries, forever questioning the norm, this Rotterdam producer has for over a decade now produced some of the most startling electronic music to be recorded in the last ten years. He was initially lauded as a technocrat extrordinaire courtesy of his debut album releases "G Spot" and "Ginger", both lessons in fluid, functional techno. However, he quickly established a reputation as the enfant terrible of the electronic scene thanks to two albums of astonishing originality "Public Energy No 1" and "A Shocking Hobby". Gone were the smooth lines and sleek rhythms of yore, to be replaced by brutal, yet strangely human, caustic beats that defied convention and introduced new lexicons into the techno dictionary.

Without doubt "Loudboxer" is a more dancefloor friendly outing, a trend he hopes to continue this year with his pan-global live shows and collaborations with the likes of Gert-jan Bijl, Chris Liebing and George Issakidis, yet rest assured, Speedy is still as far out as a space tourist who's taken the wrong turn. Long may he Lemain.
