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.

The Centrifuge returns to Manchester after a year’s hiatus with a huge lineup destined to reprogram your neurons with large doses of acid, breakbeats and sweet, strange melody. We are mighty chuffed to bring you TWO titans of electronic music, one local and one from a very long way away…
BOGDAN RARARAMEN RACZYNSKI is the daddy of low-bit mischief and uber junglistic rave styles. He’s currently touring Europe and playing a select handful of club shows including just this one in the UK. His live sets have been tearing the place up, check the video out below from our last Berlin show. http://vimeo.com/9825809
MR 76IX is a local legend, Skam’s big dancefloor weapon is a man of mystery but his music speaks volumes when enjoyed at high volume. Acid, rave, bass, electro and a keen sense of the surreal underpins his output. A rare chance to see Mr 76ix in action in his old hunting ground. http://www.boomkat.com/artist.cfm?a=7728
In support, we have a quartet of live acts – Planet Mu’s queen of electronica MRS JYNX, Manchester’s post-drill and bass genius GARETH CLARKE, a special audiovisual show from SCRUBBER FOX & DJ STUFF and amen-organ don MARK SWIFT are in full effect. MISSAW provides DJ suppport for the live attractions.
Capacity is limited, and we strongly advise you to pick up a ticket to avoid disappointment. See you down the front!
The Centrifuge comes up for air in the midst of the week for once! Making the most of a spate of UK shows (June 4th @ Islington Metalworks LDN, June 5th @ Bussey St. Warehouse LDN, June 12th @ The Attic MANCH) we are taking over The MacBeth in Hoxton for an evening of advanced electronics on Tuesday the 8th of June.
DMX KREW is in effect following his amazing sets at Bloc and Bangface festivals and we can’t wait. But what’s this? A secret guest, DJ COLESLAW? Who on earth could it be…you’ll have to work it out or see for yourselves!
Meanwhile, a trio of young guns cast their future wares for your enjoyment: KOOLMORF WIDESEN brings his beautiful live electronics & violin live set to London, RIVAL CONSOLES previews his hotly-anticipated 2nd album and OXYNUCID brings his live synthing styles to Hoxton. Last but not least, The Centrifuge DJ team of MISSAW and URSA will be on hand to spin your feet into a midweek frenzy 🙂
Saturday 29th May @ Tacheles, Oranienburgerstrasse, Berlin-Mitte.

The Centrifuge is back in Berlin with a mammoth lineup to celebrate the summer and a huge dose of acid landing in the city. This is to celebrate our “Acid Futures” a double-volume acid spectacular that is landing in June. First copies available on the night, come down early and we might just be giving a present or two away too!
And so to our guests…we are mighty pleased to welcome braindance legend GLOBAL GOON to the fold. Having been an core part of the Rephlex phenomenon in the 90s, he has recently reinvented himself (in conjunction with his SYNTHEME recording alias) as the master of raunchy, slick acid primed for the dancefloor and raw disco-fuelled booty shaking energy.
NHK BS is from even further afield – Osaka-based Kouhei Matsunaga is touring Europe following the release of 4 seminal LPs on Important Records, including collaborations with Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic) and Sean Booth (Autechre). With more from his NHK project due on Raster-Noton soon, Kouhei is on a roll.
Also live for the first time in Berlin: CHEVRON is the English Planet Mu, Wrong Music and Ad Noiseam veteran, 303 tweaker and all-round dancefloor daddy. HERV jets in from Dublin to show us how the Irish like their rave with his recent releases on Cock Rock Disco and The Centrifuge warranting preparation for a rinseout of epic proportions. TECHDIFF joins us for an all-out precision sonic demolition!
The Centrifuge’s residents are in effect too – Nexus makes his debut as EUTECHNIK and MISSAW is on hand to spin some merry ditties for your listening enjoyment.
