  • [MALTA] 19/02/11 The Centrifuge 4th Birthday with GLOBAL GOON / RIVAL CONSOLES / KILL REF / QUIP / MISSAW

    [MALTA] 19/02/11 The Centrifuge 4th Birthday: GLOBAL GOON / RIVAL CONSOLES / KILL REF / QUIP / MISSAW / CSS RESIDENTS

    Saturday 19th February 22:00 till late / 15 Euro on the door
    Liquid Club, Limits of San Gwann, Malta

    Global Goon (Rephlex, Planet Mu – UK)
    Rival Consoles (Erased Tapes – UK)
    Kill Ref (Labyrinth – IT)
    Quip (STFU – UK)
    missaw (The Centrifuge – DE)
    CSS Residents (Complex Sound Sagacity – MT)

    Oh, to be 4 years old. In human years we’re a diminutive malevolent skinbag filled with blood, crap and bile. In Centrifuge years we’ve been fortunate enough to spawn a wee spinning machine that has organised some notorious parties around the UK and Europe, runs a fortnightly radio show, operates a growing family of digital labels and an artist agency. It’s been a busy time for us and it feels like time to celebrate!

    We’ve decided to make quite a big deal out of this one, so we’ve assembled a killer team of live cadets who are heading to our new favourite place – the mediterrenean island of Malta – as we team up with the Complex Sound Sagacity crew for a BIG BAD ACID RAVEUP at Liquid Club.

    Top of the list is Rephlex and Planet Mu’s legendary acidmeister GLOBAL GOON, bringing his filthiest 303 lines and tweaked up variants of techno, electro and breakbeat ahead of his performance at Bloc Weekend. London’s RIVAL CONSOLES fuses electro, pop and IDM and twists them into pulsating megaliths of percussion and melody. With his second album on the luminous Erased Tapes Records on the horizon, you’ll get to see what all the fuss is soon going to be about. KILL REF is our Roman acid and techno guru, with a impressive discography and the sweat of most European cities spilled to his electrifying sets. Leeds’ QUIP is packing a hardware punch, playing electro and techno with a twisted attitude to pitch and rhythm. No stranger to Malta, MISSAW will play a special anniversary DJ set taking in some of the music that has shaped the past 12 months for The Centrifuge.

    GLOBAL GOON
    According to his press bio, Global Goon’s Johnny Hawk is a former shepherd from Liverpool who earned a recording contract after moving to London and rooming with Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin) for a time. Hawk had worked in the capital for a multimedia company while making music on the side; after moving into a shared house with James, he released his first album Goon on Rephlex in 1996. Rumors that Goon actually was Aphex Twin persisted even after the release of Cradle of History 4 years later.

    Planet Mu / We Me Records Syntheme project is a recognised alias of Global Goon and his recent live / DJ performances exhibit his tweaked-up take on acid house, techno and disco.

    RIVAL CONSOLES
    Born in the winter of 1985, Ryan Lee West grew up in the small city of Leicester in the midlands of England. Fascinated by sound from an early age, Ryan chose to dedicate his time to studying, experimenting with and producing sound at De Montfort University Leicester before relocating to London. West strives to humanise and at the same time emphasise entirely computerised sounds to defy categorisation in modern electronic music. Rival Consoles combines a clever and complex mix of hard-hitting beats with catchy acid melodies.

    Or as he describes it in his own words: ‘Rival Consoles is a musical project where I take ideas which are cheap and processed, and combine them with rich, unpredictable patterns – resulting in music which appears commercial yet typically against commercial music at the same time.’

    KILL REF
    Kill Ref, born as Alessandro Signore, started his own musical path in the early 1994 DJing at several small independent techno parties located between Rome and Naples. His sound has always straightaway pointed out his natural suitability for an avantagarded style such both regarding Autechre’s And Aphex Twin’s visionary rhythmic choices, the strong heirlooms of Mills’ and Hood’s Detroit techno, the Rotterdam ravish hardtouch, the industrial echoes of the early Nitzer Ebb and Front242. Actually more regardless of any time signature, KR can inspire people both moving and travelling through an ecstatic obsessive dance: that’s the simplest and then purest meaning of the complexshaped language inside his dancefloor appeal. The everlasting love for the industrial landscapes and ruins and then the growing dark influence affecting his hybrid productions can let KR glaringly be considered as the “industrial-techno forerunner married with an electronic glitching, drilling hyperuranium”.

    QUIP
    Experiments in small suburban bedroom, playing guitar in a punk band, classical guitar, show band, making tracks with a one second sampler, getting my first PC and rinsing the Soundblaster card, working to pay for equipment, making tracks on trains, in basements and in peoples houses, more bands, loss of my music partner, learning how to write tunes, recording the guitar, making sounds with the guitar that doesn’t sound like the guitar, working as a sound engineer, doing lots of gigs, working to pay for equipment, moving house, splitting up with long term girlfriend, making more music, releasing music for I Can Count, Hippocamp, more gigs, working with STFU collective, teaching music technology, moving house, making more music, working to pay for equipment, joining some more bands, doing some music for The Centrifuge and Inaudible Answer, making music for TV and film, doing more gigs….

    ————
    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://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!

    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.

    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…

  • [LDN] 02/07 “O Baile” hits London with RIVAL CONSOLES & MISSAW

    Madame and Lumin’s “O Baile” wil be returning to London’s Islington Metal Works on the 2nd of July with a truly exceptional lineup.

    Headlined by two up-and-coming portuguese acts – Oporto’s :papercutz and lisbon’s Octa Push and with support from Matthew Hawtin , Rival Consoles and Missaw – this is one north london bash you can’t afford to miss.

    :papercutz are a young band from Oporto, Portugal, that sprang from the imagination of lead songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Bruno Miguel. The band’s sublime blend of acoustic textures and electronica has seen them win an award at London’s prestigious People’s Music Awards, gain praise from BBC presenter Anne Nightingale and XFM’s Eddy Temple-Morris and win second place in the Dance/Electronica category in the International Sonwriting Competition.

    Octa Push, whose unique sunshine infused dubstep has seen them go down a storm at such venues as the legendary fabric, festivals like Sonar and Glade, among many others,.They earned the respect of luminaries such as Thom Yorke and Buraka Som Sistema. The unstoppable duo will once again grace “O Baile” with their highly eclectic and energetic live act.

    Matthew Hawtin is the younger brother of legendary techno mastermind Richie Hawtin. Matthew is a member of the Minus record label family and a world renowned visual artist to boot. His DJ sets bridge the gap between ambient and big room beats, an explosive formula which has laid waste to many a dancefloor around the world.

    Rival Consoles is the stage name of London-based IDM producer Ryan Lee West. The 23 year old techno whizkid has already made a name for himself with his quirky, elaborate productions that caught the ear of oscar-nominated composer Nico Muhly who requested a Rival Consoles remix one of his tracks. His performance at the Tate Britain Museum drew a crowd of over 2000 punters, he is currently working on a full length album and he will be bringing his modern yet amazingly catchy brand of intelligent dance music to “O Baile”.

    Last but not least, is Missaw founder of The Centrifuge record label and DJ extraordinaire. His rollercoaster sets are equal parts electro, electronica, acid and glitch. Missaw divides his time between London, Berlin and Yorkshire but managed to make room in his busy schedule to spin a few records at the next edition of “O Baile”.

    With a great venue and a truly exciting lineup, “O Baile” at Islington Metal Works on Friday the 2nd of July is shaping up to be a great way to kick off the great british summer.

First copies available on the night, come down early and we might just be giving a present or two away too!

    And so to our guests…we are mighty pleased to welcome braindance legend GLOBAL GOON to the fold. Having been an core part of the Rephlex phenomenon in the 90s, he has recently reinvented himself (in conjunction with his SYNTHEME recording alias) as the master of raunchy, slick acid primed for the dancefloor and raw disco-fuelled booty shaking energy.

    NHK BS is from even further afield – Osaka-based Kouhei Matsunaga is touring Europe following the release of 4 seminal LPs on Important Records, including collaborations with Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic) and Sean Booth (Autechre). With more from his NHK project due on Raster-Noton soon, Kouhei is on a roll.

    Also live for the first time in Berlin: CHEVRON is the English Planet Mu, Wrong Music and Ad Noiseam veteran, 303 tweaker and all-round dancefloor daddy. HERV jets in from Dublin to show us how the Irish like their rave with his recent releases on Cock Rock Disco and The Centrifuge warranting preparation for a rinseout of epic proportions. TECHDIFF joins us for an all-out precision sonic demolition!

    The Centrifuge’s residents are in effect too – Nexus makes his debut as EUTECHNIK and MISSAW is on hand to spin some merry ditties for your listening enjoyment.

    The Centrifuge returns to Manchester after a year’s hiatus with a huge lineup destined to reprogram your neurons with large doses of acid, breakbeats and sweet, strange melody. We are mighty chuffed to bring you TWO titans of electronic music, one local and one from a very long way away…

    BOGDAN RARARAMEN RACZYNSKI is the daddy of low-bit mischief and uber junglistic rave styles. He’s currently touring Europe and playing a select handful of club shows including just this one in the UK. His live sets have been tearing the place up, check the video out below from our last Berlin show.

    MR 76IX is a local legend, Skam’s big dancefloor weapon is a man of mystery but his music speaks volumes when enjoyed at high volume. Acid, rave, bass, electro and a keen sense of the surreal underpins his output. A rare chance to see Mr 76ix in action in his old hunting ground.

    In support, we have a quartet of live acts – Planet Mu’s queen of electronica MRS JYNX, Manchester’s post-drill and bass genius GARETH CLARKE, a special audiovisual show from SCRUBBER FOX & DJ STUFF and amen-organ don MARK SWIFT are in full effect. MISSAW provides DJ suppport for the live attractions.

    Capacity is limited, and we strongly advise you to pick up a ticket to avoid disappointment. See you down the front!
