With a full length ‘Disco Magentico’ LP coming soon on Eves, Nicola has very kindly put together an exclusive live mix of his material. A huge range of styles are covered, touching almost every genre and style the show features. Listen closely…

  • [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 Radio Show – TONIGHT – with an exclusive interview with Macc & dgoHn (Rephlex, Subtle Audio)

    Robert ‘Macc’ Maccioci & John ‘dgoHn’ Cunnane have a fine back catalogue of solo work – twisted drum workouts and heavy bass abound, with fans including Aphex Twin. Their recent LP ‘Some Shit Saaink’ on Subtle Audio has been one of my favourite releases of the last year, and to celebrate the release of the Rephlex-licenced CD, I cornered the boys for an evening’s chat in an East London boozer. I was looking forward to the interview for a long time, and the boys didn’t disappoint. Alongside the chatter, there’s a selection of tunes from the album and previous releases, and in addition we’ve the usual host of new music, including tracks from the forthcoming Cursor Miner LP ‘ Requires Attention’, new material from Scorn, Kelpe, and Hurtdeer and new releases from Jimmy Edgar, Sepalcure, James Blake, Pangaea and more.
