    The Centrifuge label & agency showcase mix for Electronic Explorations.

    Compiled by missaw in Berlin, June 2010.

    The Centrifuge is a global artist collective interested in all forms of experimental and electronic music. It was formed in early 2007 by missaw and NeuteK whilst residing in Nottingham, UK. At the start it was just those two playing once a month in the back room of the now defunct Blueprint Nightclub.

    missaw would play some nice tunes and NeuteK would play a tracker liveset, or live coding, or maybe hacking dance mat software to make people fall over. Simple times. Captain Chaos and Sadistician of sister label Braincore Recordings also got involved and things were fun if a little inconsequential.

    Then the club got closed down, and we decided to organise events in places like London, Manchester, Leeds, Malta and Berlin. We started our free digital label in June 2008 and have put out 50 releases thus far, with approximately 100k downloads to date. 2010 has been a busy year for The Centrifuge so far, as the label HQ relocation to Berlin in January was accompanied by the announcement of an artist management & booking agency and a significant roster expansion.

    Most of the tracks in this selection for Electronic Explorations are fresh cuts from our label with a few two exclusive treats from our agency crew for good measure. Hope you enjoy!

    ***ARTIST PROFILES****

    Ebola LIVE (Spectraliquid, Acroplane)
    http://www.myspace.com/ebolawrongmusic
    Ebola is Wrong Music co-founder and all round gentleman Ben Hudson. He has taken his explosive “bass-oriented” live set all over the UK, Europe and beyond. Expect styles ranging from dubstep to dancehall, breakcore to booty-techno, crunk, grime, and all in between.

    NeuTek LIVE (The Centrifuge)
    https://www.thecentrifuge.co.uk
    NeuTek is an Oslo-based electronic musician, software developer and programmer and returns to West London following a precision sonic demolition last summer. The fruits of his technical creativity yield expressive electronic music that transcends the myriad paradigms of electro, acid, ambient, rave, chiptunes, glitch and breakbeat.

    Mothboy LIVE (Ad Noiseam, Acroplane)
    http://www.myspace.com/simonmothboy
    Mothboy is London-based Simon Smerdon. Starting as a bass player for hardcore and metal bands in his native Devon, he turned to electronic music after his move to London in 1996, forming Ocosi shortly thereafter. He then recorded two Cds with this band (one with Mick Harris of Scorn fame and one with Ad Noiseam band mate Horchata) before quitting the band in 1999. Mothboy was then born as Smerdon’s main project. To date, as Mothboy his own inimitable style of hiphop and breaks on Acroplane Recordings, Ad Noiseam, Disco.r.dance and Ohm Resistance to critical acclaim.

    Veqtor LIVE (The Centrifuge, OXO Unlimited)
    http://www.oxo-unlimited.com/
    Sweden’s Veqtor, curator of the OXO-Unlimited netlabel and all round hardware/software demon is jetting in for his first London show having wowed the crowds at the wonderful Norberg festival this summer. Expect inventive beats, max/msp-fuelled sonic explorations and dirty dub techno.

    Filaria LIVE (Acroplane, Bug Klinik, Kinnego Flux)
    http://www.myspace.com/filaria
    One of the resident Acroplane artists from it’s inception, Filaria has been wowing audiences with his live performances in Ireland for many years, but has also travelled extensively to perform, including being one of the main support acts for Bogdan Raczynski to over 5000 people in Belgium, and supporting Drop the Lime in New York. He is also known as one half of Kinnego Flux, who you may remember have recently released a collaboratory release with Boxcutter on his new Kinnego label. Dave also has a collab track on Boxcutter’s new ‘Arecibo Message’ LP.

    Oxynucid LIVE (The Centrifuge)
    https://www.thecentrifuge.co.uk
    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.

    Red Box Recorder LIVE (Acroplane)
    http://www.myspace.com/djparticlefusion
    Still only a relative youngster in the scene, Red Box Recorder’s 2 LPs on Acroplane Recordings have been among the labels most well received releases. His recent Colour Codes LP title says it all; here is a woven rainbow of elastic sounds and beats that displays a confidence uncommon for an artist with only one previous album to hoist. This Ginglik show will be only his 2nd live performance, and we foresee that it will be something very special indeed.`

    Unit Cell LIVE (The Centrifuge)
    http://www.myspace.com/unitcell
    Supersaturated melodies and metastable bass lines combine with the blips of nucleation and brass of solubility to permit Unit Cell formation under the correct chemical conditions.

    DJ Acroplane Recordings
    http://www.acroplane.org
    The main man behind the Acroplane label, Paul has also been a professional DJ in Ireland for many years, having supported acts as diverse as Autechre, Scorn, Luke Vibert, Si Begg, Kevin Saunderson and Hellfish, amongst dozens of other household names. In his DJ Acroplane Recordings guise expect a mixture of new and old music from the label, mixed up with other music that he considers influential to its output.

    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.

    VJ the SuRReaLaRTiST (Ginglik)
    http://www.myspace.com/surrealartistvj
    GINGLIK’s resident VJ the SuRReaLaRTiST pushes the boundaries of live clubland visuals every week @ TECHLIKS. Turning the beats into light, colour and shape means that your dance floor experience is truly a multi-sensory one. Mixing an eye popping blend of tough graphics, cult films, timelapse, CGI, lasers, stop-frame animation, surrealism & abstraction; all with a bit of dark humour thrown in there for good measure. Your retinas won’t know what to do with themselves!
