  • TONIGHT – The Centrifuge Radio Show – Exclusive guest mix from Vaetxh (The Centrifuge / Tigerbeat6), plus Siriusmo competition

    This week, we’re very proud to have an exclusive guest mix from The Centrifuge’s resident glitchmeister – and recent addition to Tigerbeat6’s Andale! series – Rob Clouth aka Vaetxh. A master of glitched out production and heavy bass, Rob’s music as Vaetxh has as much to offer fans of Autechre and Alva Noto as it does fans of Vex’d and Kryptic Minds. You’ll be hearing a lot more from him over the next few months, and this 30 minute mix of his own material is a great place to start.

    In addition, we’re giving away 2 CD copies of my favourite album of the year so far, Siriusmo’s ‘Mosaik’. After his set at BLOC (one of the highlights of the weekend) there’s been a lot of talk about this Monkeytown signee, and you can get your own copy of the CD gratis if you tune in – and don’t worry if you miss the show, the competition will be open for a week for any archive listeners who feel they’ve missed out.

    In addition, we’ve new music from Burial, Beardyman, Ukkonen, SKatterBrain, Shankles, PILAR, Aleksi Perala, Dorian Concept, Lone, Modeselektor, They Live, and however many more I can fit in the space of two hours.

    Listen live on www.brap.fm, Thursday night, 10-12pm BST – or listen to the archive via The Centrifuge and Brap.fm sites, mixcloud.com/ursa, www.pfradio.com or direct via the iTunes podcast.

  • The Centrifuge Radio Show – TONIGHT – with an exclusive interview with Macc & dgoHn (Rephlex, Subtle Audio)

    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 London after a half-year hiatus from club nights, in which time they have taken their quirky brand of challenging yet accessible live electronic music to the global stage. Having upped sticks and moved HQ to Berlin at the start of 2010, the good word has been spreading far and wide. Now they are back in their old stomping ground with nothing less than a stellar lineup to celebrate the climax and finale of WISP’s first European Tour of the new decade.

    And what a decade it is shaping up to be for WISP! Hailing from Niagra Falls in the USA, his profile exploded last year after his first two highly-anticipated albums for Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label emerged, revealing new electro/techno influences to his sound that is tweaked to move feet, tickle minds and break hearts on the dancefloor. 2009 also saw 2 huge UK shows with Aphex Twin and a North American tour with Venetian Snares, both of which are amongst his biggest fans. Come and see what the fuss is about!

    As if that wasn’t enough, we have another FOUR (count ’em!) live acts in support of Wisp. RIVAL CONSOLES makes the first appearance of many under The Centrifuge’s banner, bringing his ultra-catchy synth lines and funked-up drum machine workouts. A true star in the making. MRS JYNX touches down from Manchester with her timeless take on pastoral electronica, retro-electro melody wizard OXYNUCID is exlusively road testing this summer’s festival live set and ROTODRONE plays his first-ever live show, previewing his amazing new album forthcoming on The Centrifuge. missaw provides DJ support for the main attractions.

    In Room 2, the ever-excellent electronic music blog null+void present a lineup bridging the gap between electro, acid, dubstep and drum’n’bass with Militant Science head honcho PAUL BLACKFORD and SCRASE performing live alongside hardware fiend TUDOR ACID and DJs Ursa and Kiersty.

    Room 3 is hosted by Neon Skullz & Pollinate Records…Bad bwoy tribalmashupbashment. Japanese dubtronic genius duo DOKKEBI Q lay down a tasty headline show just before their debut album is released! THIS ROOM IS: global ghetto beats slashed, smashed and slammed against fuck off ragga-tronics and blistering bassline bubblers!

    See you down the front!
