under_score are proud to present DJ Pete aka Peter Kuschnereit; a man with a longstanding and deeply resonant influence on the electronic music scene in Berlin and across the globe. He is most widely known for his collaborations with Rene Lowe (aka Vainqueur), as Scion. In 1995 Scion provided the debut release for Basic Channel's sister-label, Chain Reaction. BC's Mark Ernestus & Moritz Von Oswald later asked Pete and Rene to represent their music in clubs across the world, with the subsequent tour giving rise to 2002's groundbreaking 'Scion Arrange & Process Basic Channel' CD, and widespread acclaim.
As a solo artist, Peter has been responsible for key releases on Surgeon's Counterbalance label and the Chain Reaction imprint. 1996's "Relish", brought out under the his Substance moniker, is regarded as a modern classic, and his remix work for Juan Atkins, Robert Hood, Monolake and Rhythm & Sound has further secured his place among techno music's elite operators. Peter works at the famous Hardwax record shop in Berlin with the cream of electronic music passing through his hands on a daily basis.
In support we have a selection of Bristol's finest techno djs; JIM PETHERWICK, LUKE MALCHER, PAUL PURGAS and PLACID ( under_score ) playing the hottest electronic sounds around.

DJ Pete Official Artist Statement
Peter Kuschnereit, born in Berlin in 1970, has grown up in a historical quarter of the city, Kreuzberg. He still lives and works there. In 1991 he started to work at the legendary record store Hard Wax, the first import record store in the city, having house and techno from overseas underground scenes. Hard Wax is still one of the most important stores in techno scene, a place that attracts the cream of Berlin's musical scene and also artists, DJs and musicians, from smallest to most large, of the entire international electronic music scene. In the light of this it is easy to see Pete having an important influence for others and the other way around.
Pete is not only a DJ, also a producer. Inspired by the first generation of artists in Chicago and Detroit and above all, from the productions of the house neighbors, Basic Channel. Pete, in collaboration with René Löwe (aka Vainqueur), has given life to the Scion plan, whose first Ep 'Emerge' (1995) marks the birth of Chain Reaction, twin label of Basic Channel. This style has given the imprint for many more successful releases. Subsequently their mentors, Mark Ernestus and Moritz Von Oswald (Maurizio/Rhythm & Sound), have chosen them and called them to represent the sound of the Basic Channel in an experiment that is culminated in 2002 with the publication of the extraordinary mix CD 'Scion - Arrange & Process Basic Channel Tracks'.
Alongside to the Scion plan, Pete has carried ahead another project, Substance. With 'Relish', released in '96, he has started an important release on Chain Reaction, followed by contributions to compilations, for example Tresor records and mix CDs such as Derrick May's. Atmospheric Dub Techno, slightly dark but also decidedly more oriented to the dance floor. Finalization took place with the most beautiful 'Session Elements' CD collection in '97. As remixer, Pete bear a hand on productions from Ectomorph, Juan Atkins, The Memory Foundation, Gys on Zero G, Robert Hood (Monobox), Mikkel Metal on Echocord, Rhythm & Sound ('See Mi Yah' remixes on Burial Mix) and Monolake. Also he was landing on Counterbalance, the label of Surgeon (British Murder Boys), for which he has produced the heated 'Latifah' using the moniker of DJ Pete.
Today, Pete is one of the historical DJs of Berlin, always supporting the Detroit-Berlin-Chicago axis. After years of intense activity, he has not only earned important residency in clubs like Berghain, additionally he is more and more often demanded in European and international electronic music scene. The true cherry on the cake for the lovers of Chain Reaction is the return of Substance & Vainqueur to the 'release scene' in the end of 2006. Their debut was the "Surface" Ep followed by 3 releases, including chapter one remix Ep featuring British Murder Boys and Sleeparchive. In the old manner of Chain Reaction, Scion Versions takes place, full of substance, always inevitable dub techno of excellent quality. Scion and all other Hard Wax related artists, with their accumulation of labels and artists, are the first candidates on the list.
