    UPDATE: Thanks so much to all who came, played, sailed, raved and failed onboard THE LIFE ACIDIC. We’ve organised a lot of events in our time but that was the best party so far. Big up!

    There are some photos on our Flickr, stay tuned for more audio.

    All aboard the Motorship Stubnitz, the former East German deep sea fishing-freezer turned roving arts, culture and rave centre. We’re excited to be taking over this historic vessel for one night only on the 10th of November at its current residence in the London Docklands in what is remarkably the first visit to the capital in Stubnitz’s history. Inspired by the rich nautical rave history of the legendary Acid-on-Sea parties in times past, and the timeless magic of the open waters, we present to you THE LIFE ACIDIC.

    We’ve assembled a frankly ridiculous lineup of pan-European 303 enthusiasts with heavy emphasis on live performances and hardware sets. On the ACID DECK, we are excited to be hosting live sets from Rephlex legends CEEPHAX ACID CREW, DMX KREW and D’ARCANGELO alongside emerging 303 abuser ROY OF THE RAVERS and the perfect DJ accompaniment courtesy of the party-hearty Dutch acid crew 030303 from Utrecht.

    Meanwhile on the POOP DECK, synth meister RIVAL CONSOLES plays a special set on his birthday (don’t ask how old!), alongside the best-kept secret in electronic music GARETH CLARKE, braindancer TH’IDIOT, electro goodness from ROTODRONE, hardware freakery with QUIP and DJ support from The Centrifuge’s humble spinners.

    So, get your best sea-faring garb ready and get on board! There’ll be prizes and goodies for the most appropriately-dressed of ye scurvy lot. Think diving gear, pirates and explorers, Robinson Crusoe, pondlife…space is limited and tickets are already selling fast, so don’t miss the boat on this one…

    ARTIST PROFILES:

    DMX Krew LIVE (Rephlex, Breakin’)
    http://www.dmxkrew.com

    Ed DMX lives in London where he makes music and runs his label Breakin’ Records. He also travels around DJing and performing live most weekends in different parts of the world.

    The first DMX Krew release was 1995’s “Got You On My Mind” on Dutch label DAP, and this was followed in 1996 by “Sound Of The Street” on Aphex Twin’s label Rephlex. This record hinted at what was to come with its mix of instrumental electro, synthpop and techno made on vintage equipment. Lots more releases followed, mainly through Rephlex but also on diverse labels including International Deejay Gigolos, Ersatz Audio, Sonic Groove and several others. DMX Krew remixes have also appeared of various artists including Gentle People, Biochip C, Denki Groove, Le Car and many others.

    In 1997 Ed DMX started his label Breakin’ Records which gained a cult following as one of the UK’s first electro and bass labels with releases from DMX Krew and under the alias Computor Rockers, as well as first signings Bass Junkie and Mandroid. Later Breakin’ branched into other sounds with the signing and debut releases of acid maestro Ceephax Acid Crew, and the synthpop of G. D. Luxxe. In 2000 as EDMX, Ed became one of the first non-Detroit artists to make and release Ghetto-style electro tunes on the successful MPC Trax series of 12″s and the sell-out mix CD Bass mix. Later Detroit artists Digitek, 313 Bass Mechanics and Disco D also released on Breakin’ / MPC Trax.

    The last three albums and pair of 7″ singles released on Rephlex under the umbrella of “The Collapse Of The Wave Function” reveal a deeper, more considered side to his production, featuring ambient and experimental tracks as well as quirkier dancefloor fillers.

    Ed has performed all around the world both as a DJ and as a live act, including several US tours with and without the Rephlex crew, most of western and northern Europe and a lot of eastern Europe too, numerous tours in Japan including WIRE99 in front of 8000 people with Derrick May and Denki Groove in the Yokohama Arena. In 2004 DMX Krew appeared for the first time in Australia and he continues to play out most weekends.

    Feldermelder LIVE (Spezialmaterial, Switzerland)
    http://www.feldermelder.ch
    Feldermelder is the driving force behind the uber-cool Swiss electronica label Spezialmaterial and we have been trying to get him over to the UK for some time now. With a live set full of crisp beats, complex rhythms and intricate melodies, it’s no wonder that he can count Autechre, Team Doyobi, Plaid and many more of the world’s finest electronic musicians as collaborators and friends.

    Scrubber Fox & DJ Stuff LIVE (The Centrifuge, UK) – 3D-AV SHOW!!
    http://www.myspace.com/thescrubberfoxspace
    Hailing from the north of this fine isle, Scrubber Fox doesn’t make it as far as London too often. That’s a big shame, as he has been tearing up our 2009 shows with floor-filler acid rinseouts and tumbling breakbeats to our great pleasure. Not to worry, by popular request he’s coming down to the big smoke with a totally fresh live setup that will leave heads scratched, feet raw and sweat dripping from the ceiling. Having released on Skam, Merck and now The Centrifuge, the heads know about Scrubber and it’s time you did too. Joined by DJ Stuff for a London debut 3D-AV Scrubber disco!!

    Vertical67 LIVE (Acroplane, Germany)
    http://www.myspace.com/vertical67
    Vertical67 is a lifelong Berliner. He started making electronic music around 1999, producing in many different styles. In general he makes some electronic music influenced by acid, jungle, psychedelia. So far he released 2 Albums on the mighty netlabel Acroplane Recordings and several other contributions to some compilations, remixes and the like. Expect some rave this evening.

    Nexus LIVE (The Centrifuge, Ireland)
    http://www.siliconepoplars.com/
    Silicone Poplars/Nexus is a Dublin/Berlin-based composer and performer of sparse ambient electronica mixed with breakbeat, glitch and homemade electronics. Live sets usually include a homemade interface which tracks the movement of gameboy cartridges and chess pieces to control sound events. These homemade devices and interfaces have been on public display as interactive installations, but mostly play the part of instruments in live performances. — happy to have shared stages with Sunken Foal, Creator, Herv, DJ Scotch Egg, Miles Iwes, T-woc, Sarsparilla, Cignol, The Last Sound and to have been invited to perform at the Project Arts Centre, UCC, NUIM, Mantua, Life and Tweak Festival.

    Fractional LIVE (The Centrifuge, Belgium)
    http://www.myspace.com/tirofcnaal
    Fractional is Eugenie. Her music can be qualified as brooding electronica with a jungle aftertaste. Pierre literally regurgitates his broken beats, waxing them with various bleeps and crackles, smearing mystical pads over them.

    Volitune LIVE (The Centrifuge, UK)
    http://www.myspace.com/volitune
    Volitune is a new signing to The Centrifuge’s acid wing, having released on netlabels such as ARP in the past. Expect advanced melodies, 303 squelch and electro beat business.

    Ursa (The Centrifuge, Brap.FM)
    https://www.thecentrifuge.co.uk
    Ursa has been part of The Centrifuge since near its inception, supporting the likes of Tim Exile, Scotch Egg, and Formication, as well as releasing on the netlabel. Resident in East London, he also hosts TheCentrifuge’s radio show on Brap.FM, writes for melodic jungle website www.itstooloud.com and can be found this summer playing alongside luminaries such as iTAL tEK.

    missaw (The Centrifuge)
    http://www.missaw.com
    missaw is The Centrifuge’s label curator & resident remixer, creating electronic concoctions for the body and the mind.
