    The Centrifuge is back in Berlin with a mammoth lineup to celebrate the summer and a huge dose of acid landing in the city. This is to celebrate our “Acid Futures” a double-volume acid spectacular that is landing in June. 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.

    See you down the front!

    In an underground lab in the heart of London, some of the finest promoters have gathered to produce a club night of epic proportions. 2010 will witness the emergence of The Sonic Lab‘s debut event! The Sonic Lab team have hit the ground running with a Planet Mu Records takeover in the Main Room. Taking the lead is Venetian Snares whose unique mixture of genres including breakcore, acid and orchestral, has established his status as one of the most exciting electronic musicians alive today. Also on the bill are electronic music titans Luke Vibert and Ceephax Acid Crew who will be teasing the crowd with selections from his new album ‘United Acid Emirates’. Representing the rest of the label is Shitmat and The Doubtful Guest providing chaotic jungle and hardcore acid. DJ Planet Mu and P45 will be completing the lineup.

    The Organix Room brings you some of dubstep’s finest, including the prolific duo Instra:mental, who continue to break boundaries between genres; not one to miss! Next up is Bristol’s dubstep/reggae/dub champion RSD, and coming all the way from Manchester are Synkro & Indigo. Last but not least are the upcoming collective Dark Sky, soon to release their debut 12″ on Black Acre! There are also some highlights from RinseFM’s Crises, SubFM’s Syte and resident Hylu, with support from hosts Jago & Zico.

    The Centrifuge’s Room is jam packed with experimental electronic artists. We have got a bevy of future stars poised and ready to pounce. First up is the hugely talented young gun, London’s own synth maestro Oxynucid, Manchester’s post-drill and bass genius Gareth Clarke, the addictive, hook-laden avant-pop of Rival Consoles and a UK debut from Braindance wunderkind EOD whom we are flying in from the depths of Norway. Representing the old guard are resident DJ and label curator missaw and Planet Mu’s first lady of electronica, Mrs Jynx. In addition to the fantastic line up there will also be fully playable retro computer games supplied by Hand Baked Arcade.

    Wisp (Rephlex, USA)
    DJ Cylob (Breakin’, Cylob Industries)

    Dear friends,

    we are really glad to announce, that despite the recent events around WMF’s closing last week, our party will take place on the 26th of March. And we got even better news for you! We extended the line-up, so that you can expect even more bass from the grand seignior of post-rave Cylob and Berlin’s own high-priest of bass Ziggy! We moved the event to the „Goldener Saal“ (inside Tacheles) and thanks to the help of BlackBoxMusic we will have a pretty sweet PA to stimulate your ears. Expect a night full of braindance, squarestep, ghettodub and jungletech!
    Now it’s your turn: Show up and dance! We are looking forward to it.

    Cheers,
    Bass Contortion & The Centrifuge

    -INFO-

    We are proud to present you the first german show of Wisp, Aphex Twin’s favourite artist and Rephlex Records new poster child! His profile exploded last year after his two highly-anticipated albums Rephlex Records emerged, revealing new electro/techno influences to his sound that is tweaked to move feet, tickle minds and break hearts on the dancefloor. Come and see what the fuss is about!
    Making music since 1993, most of Cylob’s records can be called timeless masterpieces. He released on legendary labels, collaborated with legendary artists and he is, without hesitation, a legend himself. Expect nothing less from his sets.
    With them on stage will be Hecq, Berlin’s bass boy-wonder. His musical oeuvre makes him one of Germany’s leading electronic artists, with albums discovering the fields of post-rave electronica to contemporary classical music. His upcoming EP on Ad Noiseam will set new standards in what we know today as Dubstep.

    Furthermore the united force of the Contortion and The Centrifuge crew will entertain you throughout the night, too. Puzzle is our man from Sweden, bringing psychedelic hip-hop glitch-beats to the masses, Ziggy is as jiggy as usual and will contort your synapses with his bass extravaganza, Jade Monkey will show you that dubstep is an anagram for „freak-out“ and Missaw will bring the funk in bottles and pour in everyone who is ready to boogie down.

    The Centrifuge returns to London after a half-year hiatus from club nights, in which time they have taken their quirky brand of challenging yet accessible live electronic music to the global stage. Having upped sticks and moved HQ to Berlin at the start of 2010, the good word has been spreading far and wide. Now they are back in their old stomping ground with nothing less than a stellar lineup to celebrate the climax and finale of WISP’s first European Tour of the new decade.

    And what a decade it is shaping up to be for WISP! Hailing from Niagra Falls in the USA, his profile exploded last year after his first two highly-anticipated albums for Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label emerged, revealing new electro/techno influences to his sound that is tweaked to move feet, tickle minds and break hearts on the dancefloor. 2009 also saw 2 huge UK shows with Aphex Twin and a North American tour with Venetian Snares, both of which are amongst his biggest fans. Come and see what the fuss is about!

    As if that wasn’t enough, we have another FOUR (count ’em!) live acts in support of Wisp. RIVAL CONSOLES makes the first appearance of many under The Centrifuge’s banner, bringing his ultra-catchy synth lines and funked-up drum machine workouts. A true star in the making. MRS JYNX touches down from Manchester with her timeless take on pastoral electronica, retro-electro melody wizard OXYNUCID is exlusively road testing this summer’s festival live set and ROTODRONE plays his first-ever live show, previewing his amazing new album forthcoming on The Centrifuge. missaw provides DJ support for the main attractions.

    In Room 2, the ever-excellent electronic music blog null+void present a lineup bridging the gap between electro, acid, dubstep and drum’n’bass with Militant Science head honcho PAUL BLACKFORD and SCRASE performing live alongside hardware fiend TUDOR ACID and DJs Ursa and Kiersty.

    Room 3 is hosted by Neon Skullz & Pollinate Records…Bad bwoy tribalmashupbashment. Japanese dubtronic genius duo DOKKEBI Q lay down a tasty headline show just before their debut album is released! THIS ROOM IS: global ghetto beats slashed, smashed and slammed against fuck off ragga-tronics and blistering bassline bubblers!

  • The Centrifuge 2009 Roundup Pt 1: Events

    cf-logo-xmas

    Ahoy there! It’s Christmas eve, the UK’s roads are iced up and locked down, the goose is getting fat and we’re all feeling festive…aren’t we? Well regardless of that, the end of the year and indeed the decade are upon us and we thought it’d be nice to reflect on the past twelve months in The Centriverse.

    So today…events. I guess you’ll have noticed we’ve been rather busy this year, with our crew being heavily involved in happenings as diverse as lectures, seminars, street raves, free parties, bar gigs, club nights and warehouse raves all over the UK and of course we recently broke into the Berlin scene. It would be folly to actually count them all, doubtful my maths skills would be up to it but instead here’s a quick look back at some of the bigguns 🙂

    Why not reply with your favourite moments? I’ll kick off with a few: raising a big pot of cash for charity in September, Team Doyobi’s amazing retro-future workout and Wisp’s album launch show at Ginglik, Richard Devine’s precision sonic demolition of Corsica Studios and last but not least dancing with aliens at Tacheles in Berlin. The FutureSonic street raves were pretty special too 😀

    Photos here by the way…

    more roundup goodness to come, i’m off to thaw my hands by the fire.

  • Goodbye Ginglik, hello Berlin

    Thanks to all that came down on Saturday to the final show of our residency at Ginglik, it was another cracking evening of live electronic music. Photos and audio will be online soon 🙂

    We had 9 great London shows in 6 months there, huge respect to all the musicians, visual artists, graphic designers, photographers, Ginglik staff, Centrifuge crew and not least the music lovers who trekked all the way over to Shepherd’s Bush time and again for the good stuff.

    We’re working on some grand plans for 2010, and will be back in London with some bigger, badder, better, longer, later and louder parties in easier to reach places! In the meantime, we’re moving the label HQ over to Berlin in the next few months. Our first party in the city is on Friday 27th November and there will be plenty more to come.

    Next up…Fri 27/11, Tacheles, Berlin.

    Thanks for the memories…Ginglik, London.
