On Easter Monday at Red Rooms we have an extra special night with 2 heavyweights In the DJ Box. Red Rooms presents POPOF and FUNKAGENDA.

POPOF (Alexandre Paounov) is a French techno composer/ arranger with releases on many underground labels such as Skryptom Records, Absolut Freak Recordings and Thomas Heckmann's AFU Limited. He also has releases on the mammoth Cr2 Records owned by Red Rooms favourite Mark Brown.

Popof is well on his way to stardom on the techno scene but he is especially well known in Europe for being part of French collective Heretik. Since 1996 they organised a lot of raves all over the country and made a name for themselves through their gatherings of 10,000 people in the framework of techno music events. Popof often played with Noisebuilder during live performances in France at as Batofar, Rex Club, Fete de l'humanite (with Charles Schillings, Demon and Alex Gopher) and the current festival Panoramic Music.

Joining Popof on Easter Monday is another Red Rooms favourite – FUNKAGENDA.

If you haven’t heard of Funkagenda by now then where have you been hiding? Over the last 3 years, he has become a name synonymous with quality house music. Already having featured on labels as prominent as TOOLROOM, POSITIVA, DEFECTED, AZULI, MINISTRY OF SOUND, SIZE, BIG LOVE and SUBLIMINAL, his production and remix skills are highly sought after worldwide. And production is not the only string in his bow... His DJ talents are also a permanent fixture in clubs around the globe, with 2008/2009 seeing him travelling to AMERICA, CANADA, RUSSIA, SOUTH AMERICA, ROMANIA, POLAND, SPAIN, FRANCE, ISREAL, SERBIA, GREECE and many more.

If that doesn’t convince you to get to Red Rooms on Easter Monday then listen to Toolroom Knights main man Mark Knight... "Funkagenda is my favourite producer in the WORLD….. he is unique in his abilty to produce and remix with such a diverse style all underlined by one word... QUALITY"

Funkagenda is certainly the man of the moment and fresh from the Miami Winter Music Conference he is guaranteed to unleash some serious beats on Easter Monday at Red Rooms.

Popof & Funkagenda will be supported by Red Rooms resident DJs Tonisi, Paco & DaCosta on Easter Monday. Doors open at 8pm. Admission is £8 / £10 with early specials. Over 18s only. Red Rooms operates the 5 ID Initiative. For more info visit www.myspace.com/popofheretik | www.myspace.com/funkagenda and for all the latest information visit Red Rooms at www.redroomsderry.co.uk
