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.

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)
http://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.

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!
