  • 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.

    DMX Krew LIVE HARDWARE SET (Rephlex, Breakin’)
    Feldermelder LIVE (Spezialmaterial, Switzerland)
    Scrubber Fox & DJ Stuff LIVE (The Centrifuge, UK) – 3D-AV SHOW!!
    Vertical67 LIVE (Acroplane, Germany)

    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)

    missaw is The Centrifuge’s label curator & resident remixer, creating electronic concoctions for the body and the mind.

    ————————-

    INFO!

    MR76IX LIVE (SKAM)
    http://www.skam.com
    Mr 76ix is a mysterious, legendary character in the world of electronic music. A long-time master of the glitchy rave sound that Skam Records became world famous for in the nineties, his amazing productions remained shielded from the public consciousness until his notorious live set at the Autechre-curated ATP in 2003. His performance was hailed as the highlight of the whole festival by the people in the know. Since then three albums of glorious electronic goodness have appeared on Skam, but the Manchester-based don has shunned the limelight in favour of honing his sonic creations yet further, adding a crisp, acidic electro sound to his darkwave flavour. This is a RARE chance to see the man, the myth, the legend Mr 76ix in London town premiering his forthcoming Skam album!

    TEAM DOYOBI LIVE (SKAM / ICASEA / FAT-CAT / ALKU)
    http://www.teamdoyobi.com
    Long time Skam artists Team Doyobi are a UK/Japanese double act famous for their excellent output on Skam and other labels, and are now co-founders of ICASEA. The team are born from the paradoxical utilisation of obsolete electronic equipment to produce futuristic and otherwordly musical ‘scapes. From chip-rave anthems to emotionally charged cyber-ballads, the Team Doyobi live experience is almost religious in intensity.

    MORTAL & CHEMIST LIVE (SKAM / ICASEA / 33)
    http://www.icasea.net
    Another UK/Japan creative nexus between Tom Knapp and Alex Peverett, mixing up classic Skam darkwave flavours and expert hardware tweakery to devastating effect. Initially formed from their loves of sampling, tape edits and remixing, M&C’s progression has landed them deep in worlds of sequencer coding, sound synthesis, Sci-Fi atmospheres and prolonged duration man-machine explorations free from the constraints of physical media they are firmly focused towards the future.

    POBORSK LIVE (ICASEA / CACTUS ISLAND / TSUKU BOSHI / FILAMENT / PLASTIQPASSION)
    http://www.myspace.com/poborsk
    Poborsk will release the first digital release on Icasea, and has released previously on Cactus Island, Tsuku boshi and Plastiq passion. His music mixes shades of classic “IDM” with synthetic computer funk, depth charge bass drops, steel plated beats and concrete sound manipulation. Long time producer on the true underground, for hard core electronic music fans who don’t need to read the labels, don’t miss your chance to catch a rare live UK appearance.

    KONX-OM-PAX LIVE (ICASEA / DISPLAY COPY)
    http://www.konx-om-pax.co.uk/
    Konx-om-Pax is 24 year old Glasgow based Director/Animator/Sound Designer Tom Scholefield. In recent years worked with Warp Records, Universal Everything and Optimo Espacio, he will be performing new material forthcoming on his own “Display Copy” imprint.

    THE WYRDING MODULE LIVE (ICASEA)
    http://wyrdingmodule.psybertron.co.uk/
    The Wyrding Module is an electronic music project from paramusician Christopher Gladwin, one half of Team Doyobi (SKAM, ICASEA). The sounds of the Wyrding Module are inspired by Motorik Krautrock, Early Electronica, New Wave SF, psychedelia, 70’s horror films, W. S. Burroughs, Post Industrial Ambience and the Occult.

    DJ’s:
    GESCOM (SKAM / OR / CLEAR / SOURCE / WARP / FAT-CAT)
    http://www.skam.com
    A rare DJ set from the ultra-secretive Skam supergroup whose members are said to include Autechre, Rob Hall, Mr76ix, Andy Maddocks and many others…absolutely unmissable.

    S>>D (ICASEA)
    http://www.myspace.com/sfx2dtunes
    Straight out of Belfast comes S>>D, we are very happy to have him play a rare DJ set, check out his podcast “end of line mix” on ∆ICASEA SELECT for pointers, expect Tuff electro-breaks, streetsounds era bangers, futuristic hiphop and much more. Not to be missed.

    VJ the SuRReaLaRTiST (Ginglik)
    http://www.myspace.com/surrealartistVJ
    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!

    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)
    www.quipmusic.co.uk
    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….

    www.funckarma.com

    Idiron Soundtrack LIVE (The Centrifuge)
    www.myspace.com/idironsoundtrack

    Idiron Soundtrack has been responsible for several full-on electro / snare-rush live sets at The Centrifuge’s music events and the epic Manifest Sounds EP (CF009). Originally from Bristol and trained in violin and piano, elements from hyper jungle to squelchy acid are fused through an intricate and emotive approach toward composition that conjures goosebumps and rave mentalism in equal measure. He will be showcasing new material from his forthcoming EP (‘turbo kiisu’).

     

    Myoptik LIVE (The Centrifuge)
    www.myspace.com/myoptik

    Celebrating the release of CF023 – “Allusion To Dance” EP at www.thecentrifuge.co.uk.
    For 10 years myoptik has been a radio presenter, dj, music journalist, producer and event promoter based in not-so-sunny Leicester. Live performance is Myoptik’s natural home with appearances in all sorts of places, under all sorts of musical guises and monikers at events such as the Sonic Arts Network, Summer Sundae, Monastery Of Sound and Delia Derbyshire’s old home. Myoptik is also known for his vibrant Leicester based PVC club nights and his ping-discs imprint both of which pioneered his trademark live Funkatronix sound.
    He has worked with the likes of BJ Cole, Chin Chin, I-mitri, Phaelah and Normal Position. On his own his musical demeanor tends towards a wild maelstrom of gutural bleep-funk and emotive soundscapes, accompanied by a glass of rum..

    Kone-r
    www.unchartedaudio.com
    Kone-r is the man behind the Uncharted Audio record label, which has introduced the likes of Cursor Miner, LJ Kruzer, Kings Have Long Arms and plenty of other weird and wonderful sonic tomfoolery to the world. Manning the turntables since 1992 when he discovered the joy of warehouse raves, the spirit of that era lives on in his sets today, with a liberal sprinkling of ambience, techno, breakbeats and plenty of low frequency oscillations. Despite the length of time he’s spent in the booth, he maintains a cutting edge – you’re as likely to hear him drop fresh dub plates by up and coming acts alongside the latest cuts from Berlin to Detroit as you are to hear vintage rave, classic disco and timeless electro. What’s more, every Kone-R set is expertly mixed entirely on vinyl to preserve audio and artistic integrity – just like in the good old days.
