The Centrifuge (www.thecentrifuge.co.uk) takes over the last Saturday of June while I Love Acid has a breather till July. Expect all the acid you could ever hope for from Brighton’s rave king Chevron and a host of ultra-talented live acts like Odan, Oxynucid, Captain Chaos and Quip that have set the netlabel scene alight in the past 12 months.
Chevron LIVE (Planet Mu, Ad Noiseam, 030303)
www.chevvers.com
Brighton’s acid rave king Chevron touches down for his Ginglik debut to lay down some seriously infectious floor-filler 303 basslines fresh off the back of his excellent track “Excursions†released on the ultra-cool 030303 label and an equally rinsing number “St Matthew†on The Centrifuge netlabel.
Oxynucid LIVE (The Centrifuge)
www.myspace.com/oxynucid
A classically-trained musician with golden fingers, Oxynucid aka Dominick Schofield is fast making a name for himself in electronic music. Having spent 10 years playing keys in an electro-indie band that made it big, he left to pursue his solo career. Barely moments later, he signed to The Centrifuge and has released a string of acclaimed EPs and tracks, combining his electro tendencies and braindance influences to shape wondrous pieces of lush melodic electronics. You aren’t gonna see too many reel-to-reel players and Korg MS-10s on stage either – live electronics can be real, and Oxynucid’s sets have been the highlight of many a Centrifuge show.
Odan LIVE (Net-lab)
www.myspace.com/0dan
Odan is a London-based electro don with some impressive advanced acid productions in the pipeline which he will be premiering on the night. Also a couple of netlabel EP’s to his name back in the hayday of Net-lab. One to watch!
Quip LIVE (The Centrifuge, STFU)

[CF020] Various Artists – Anyone Can Make Dubstep
Released on Sunday 12th April 2009 at www.TheCentrifuge.co.uk.
In an homage to those true “mainstream innovators” Radiohead, we’ve taken “Anyone Can Play Guitar” and turned it into “Anyone Can Make Dubstep” a excuse to release something a little different to our usual output. The idea was to solicit tracks from our artist roster and friends utilising the 2-step motif and/or elements associated with it, with the hope that our broad musical church would offer up some original musical communion, or at least something grotesque to sacrifice at the altar. We’ve got some great tracks on here from Centrifuge regulars, some new faces and some distinguished guests.
