The Centrifuge returns to its occasional midweek residency at The MacBeth for an diverse evening of live electronic music. Having burst the walls with DMX KREW and BOGDAN “COLESLAW” RACZYNSKI and then swiftly followed with RADIOACTIVE MAN, THE DOUBTFUL GUEST and TUDOR ACID at the start of the summer, the benchmark has been set. Now that things are chilling down in the capital its time to get down and dirty with the uncompromising electro-drill of MONSTER X, DEAD FADER’S bass led noise, RIVAL CONSOLES’ avant pop, GARETH CLARKE’S advanced electronics and VOLITUNE’S funky acid. All that for three quid? You better believe it!
MONSTER X
Professional radio / tv sound designer by day, electro-breakcore mentalist by night, this smiling misfit has caused so much recent mayhem in his hometown of Grenoble (France), that only London could take him. Since arriving here, he’s already torn up all four corners of the city and events all across Europe. Remember his show-stopping performance at Glade 2009? If not, check this – it was the highlight of our weekend! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l94bY2ssV2Y http://agency.thecentrifuge.co.uk/monster-x/
DEAD FADER
Dead Fader make heavy electronic bass/noise music, specializing in nasty sounds and nasty distortion. Currently signed to Cloaks label 3BY3, they released their debut album, Corrupt My Examiner, in April 2010 to critical acclaim. They are one of the few acts to successfully merge dubstep with heavy industrial sounds and make it work on the dancefloor. They never fail to impress when performing live and are possibly the loudest electronic live act ever known! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz8ZFba1Ags http://agency.thecentrifuge.co.uk/dead-fader/
RIVAL CONSOLES
With his highly anticipated debut album IO released on Erased Tapes Records in 2009, West crafted an electronic record to transcend the discerning and flirt a little with the club culture. With rave reviews from XLR8R, NME, DJ Mag, The Milk Factory, Musikexpress the arrival of a new talent on the scene was heralded, and the buzz has been building yet more. Now primed to deliver his second studio opus this Winter, his sound has taken on another dimension as the cutting edge marries with his pop sensibilities. http://vimeo.com/3119537 http://agency.thecentrifuge.co.uk/rival-consoles/
GARETH CLARKE
The word ‘genius’ has been used to describe Gareth Clarke a few too many times for it to be simply hyperbole. Taking his cue from lush textural melodic electronics and the intensity of post-DSP drill’n'bass his heady mix of intricate sonics provide the perfect pleasure amalgam for body and brain. Stay tuned for new album announcement soon… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKaZB96HlUk http://agency.thecentrifuge.co.uk/gareth-clarke/

The Centrifuge label & agency showcase mix for Electronic Explorations.
Compiled by missaw in Berlin, June 2010.
The Centrifuge is a global artist collective interested in all forms of experimental and electronic music. It was formed in early 2007 by missaw and NeuteK whilst residing in Nottingham, UK. At the start it was just those two playing once a month in the back room of the now defunct Blueprint Nightclub.
missaw would play some nice tunes and NeuteK would play a tracker liveset, or live coding, or maybe hacking dance mat software to make people fall over. Simple times. Captain Chaos and Sadistician of sister label Braincore Recordings also got involved and things were fun if a little inconsequential.
Then the club got closed down, and we decided to organise events in places like London, Manchester, Leeds, Malta and Berlin. We started our free digital label in June 2008 and have put out 50 releases thus far, with approximately 100k downloads to date. 2010 has been a busy year for The Centrifuge so far, as the label HQ relocation to Berlin in January was accompanied by the announcement of an artist management & booking agency and a significant roster expansion.
Most of the tracks in this selection for Electronic Explorations are fresh cuts from our label with a few two exclusive treats from our agency crew for good measure. Hope you enjoy!
Cutting edge live electronic and electro-acoustic music, audiovisual installations, performance art, music PR & consultancy and lecture / seminar sessions.

Glatze’s self-titled debut EP is a fun and frenetic ride through his self-proclaimed Romany Surf Step style. Bored with people taking themselves too seriously Glatze has set out to make you smile, and dance around like a twat. Capturing the energy and humour of his live performances this EP is sure to provoke some reaction in you. We’ve certainly never heard anything quite like it before.
Glatze is one of the many facades of multi-(instru)mentalist and musical instrument designer Mr.Underwood. He is the antidote to dark nights and self-loathing, with his fun at all costs approach to music making and live performance. Through his many live appearances, including at Supersonic 2009, Glatze has amused and excited crowds, with his orgy of sound emanating from his homemade hardware, circuit-bent dolls and squealing guitars. If it’s a broad smile and a tapping foot you are after, Glatze is the man for you!
What people are saying:
“It’s great stuff! I’ve never really heard anything like it. Sure, it’s music, and it sounds like a lot of stuff, but there is a unique voice, and it’s good!” John McCaig, Panic Studios
“I have had a listen to your tracks, and think they are great! You have a very original direction.” BJ Cole
