Besides Soundmurderer and the Rephlex gang we get to hear Plasticman and Mark One for the first time out here. Sorry for the plug but I'm excited.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Thursday, 11 March 2004 02:31 (twenty-two years ago)

well maybe not GRIMED

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Thursday, 11 March 2004 02:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Is there such a thing as "indie-grime"? this sounds like whatever that would be.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 11 March 2004 02:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Not quite sure. Not sure how that was supposed to be meant. ????? Should that be meant as they are the college radio darlings of sub-low or grime or whatever they are called? I get spooked easily by genre classification.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Thursday, 11 March 2004 02:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Spencer OTM. Though something inside me wants to go to this.

Soundmurderer - Hmmmm, okay.
Mark One/Plasticman - mind numbingly dull with occasional flourishes of goodness
Tigerbeat - stab me in the face, please. I can't take it anymore.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:44 (twenty-two years ago)

we were walking out of club 6 after a sweaty night of dancing and my wife got her hair petted by a crack whore

― JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:45 (twenty-two years ago)

$7, though. Hmmmmmm.....

(x-post okay, then)

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:46 (twenty-two years ago)

(interested in this at all, J?)

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm gonna go. I don't know much about what Plasticman/Mark One sound like (I've heard that Technotronic knock off and nothing else) but for Soundmurderer alone it should be worth it. Tigerbeat6 is yawn though (unless it was Rupture or the Bug, that would be worthwhile.) And yeah it's fuckin' cheap!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:48 (twenty-two years ago)

i haven't heard plasticman in years. was wholy unthrilled by the decks, fx & 909. is the rest drill'n'bass? probably not really interested

― JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:50 (twenty-two years ago)

cs appleby, where's the plug? how are you associated?

― JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Wrong Plasticman! This is the UK Garage one!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:52 (twenty-two years ago)

it's not the same Plasticman, JaXoN. That is, if you're thinking about Ritchie Hawtin,

(x-post)

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:52 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, well then, i know nothing about any of them

― JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Bogdan Racynski is drill'n'bass.
Soundmurderer is ragga jungle.
Mark One/Plasticman is garage/dubstep.

I've not heard the others.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I'd definitely be interested to see Soundmurderer.

Alex, do you know if the Kompakt tour that is hitting NYC is coming over this way?

(I'm still upset about missing Mayer/Voigt)

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:54 (twenty-two years ago)

oops I didn't notice Bogdan there.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:55 (twenty-two years ago)

It's not. :( Miami, Chicago, NYC and then nuthing.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:56 (twenty-two years ago)

They'll be back soon, surely.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 03:59 (twenty-two years ago)

i may go. i like soundmurderer and im not exactly adverse to plasticman/markone even though they're sorta the 'serious' go-nowhere leg of grime. the tb6 artists featured i've barely heard of but i guess it wouldn't be surprising if it was just 606 pranx. that goes for bogdan too unless he's supposed to be different live than on record.

― scissors (Honda), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:00 (twenty-two years ago)

rephlex grime

― scissors (Honda), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:01 (twenty-two years ago)

braingrime

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll probably go to this.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:06 (twenty-two years ago)

The one sad thing is that it may end up being a total chin-stroking non-dancing hipster affair (this seems to be a running theme of Tigerbeat6 shows). But I was scared about the same thing at the Kompakt show and it turned out to be totally unfounded.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:11 (twenty-two years ago)

or 20 people in the front moshing around as was the case the last time i saw kid606 play

― scissors (Honda), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:15 (twenty-two years ago)

the latter would be preferable to the stroking of the chins and the non-dancing. Though I don't really know how people "dance" to Soundmurderer or Plasticman.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Not going to that Kompakt show is going to haunt me until my dying day.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a feeling not buying cheap tickets to NYC and seeing the Kompakt/Rephlex show there this weekend will haunt me.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Of course if I lose my job in two or three weeks, I'll be patting myself on the back for making the wise decision.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Ummm, haven't you just got back from Cologne or something?

(how was that, by the way?)

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:22 (twenty-two years ago)

When I interviewed Mayer I tried to emotionally blackmail him into coming to Australia but he was having none of it. :-(

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I was in Cologne over X-mas, yeah (at the time my job seemed more secure.) It was incredible.

(x-post) Hahahaha I tried to get him to tell me when he was going to release an LP. He looked positively embarrassed.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:27 (twenty-two years ago)

He vaguely hinted at the end of this year to me. He talked about an ep coming out first which in retrospect may have been "Privat" or may still be in the pipeline.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:29 (twenty-two years ago)

That's exactly what he said to me, too hahaha (I think "Privat" was the EP.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I get no benefit so maybe it ain't a plug. I'm goin' even though it actually might definitely be a hipster chin-strokin' affair. Oh well. I wouldn't know how to dance to it either, HA. A chance to hear this stuff other than on my dinty home speakers is a rockin' prospect.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:32 (twenty-two years ago)

c-man, gratuitous shout! hope you'll let me know your impressions sooner than I've got back to you on Dizzee... did you catch the New York gang's (incl. me) write-ups on the original thread?
DIZZEE RASCAL COMING TO NYC AND... TORONTO!

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Yo Paul. I'll keep ya' informed. C-man?

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Thursday, 11 March 2004 04:51 (twenty-two years ago)

(short for cs appleby: sounds basic but I like it!)

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 11 March 2004 05:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I AM THERE. how will i recognize ilXoRs?

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 11 March 2004 05:13 (twenty-two years ago)

ummm, I'm short, nondescript. You can't miss me!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 05:37 (twenty-two years ago)

vahid, where do you live? have you been in sf this whole time?

― JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 11 March 2004 06:00 (twenty-two years ago)

nope. i'm in san diego but i'm flyin up to see the show in SF.

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 11 March 2004 06:01 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, i thought you were in LA.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 11 March 2004 06:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be the jock looking guy most likely wearing a grey Fox cap...unless I decide to cut my hair. Vahid, Adam, Jason...maybe I'll bump into ya'. Paul should take a day off, spend a thousand bucks to fly hear from New York and hang out for a day. Hmmm.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Thursday, 11 March 2004 06:39 (twenty-two years ago)

the hipster contingent will be in full effect. the party is co-promoted by Compression, which started out doing really successful gimmicky drum'n'bass parties (ie wet t-shirt contests, locked-bathroom-and-everyone-drinks-free-til-someone-pees parties) which graduated to heavier and heavier guests (Grooverider, Goldie, Krust etc) until their recent NYE party which featured quite strangely Disco D, Z-Trip and Vikter Duplaix [yeah, i was like "huh" until i figured out that Hollywood Records is the thread here]. expect drunken trucker-hatted looky-loos.

on the other hand, the party is being co-promoted by Blasthaus, who did the recent Kompakt tour as well as the last three Warp tours and are doing Seiji at Milk on 3/19 [full disclosure: i'm on the bill]
so i think there will be lots of heads to round out the crowd.

if you're feeling the broken beats, come check out my night Safe on 3/20 where our guest is Domu (a ton of labels, london uk). email me for details.

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Thursday, 11 March 2004 07:23 (twenty-two years ago)

haha, funny. i've never been to milk (went to galaxy a few times) but i'm going on the 19th for a birthday party

― JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 11 March 2004 08:08 (twenty-two years ago)

looks like i'll be seeing you there, then. i'll be the white guy behind the turntables anytime before midnight.

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Thursday, 11 March 2004 08:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Dizzee is at the Mezzanine March 16th Weds. Lot's going on next week. I preety sure that's the right date. I'll double check it at Blasthaus.

― turk (cs appleby), Friday, 12 March 2004 19:28 (twenty-two years ago)

i will let you know how it is this weekend. (though truth be told i'm not planning to spend much time in the rephlex room other than for soundmurderer.)

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 12 March 2004 19:34 (twenty-two years ago)

HEY is DJ rephlex = aphex twin for sure?? or is this speculation?

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 12 March 2004 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

no, according to marcus @ rephlex its the name the rephlex crew (meaning the staff presumably) uses when they DJ.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 12 March 2004 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, have a peek at Plasticman for us, won't you?

(Are you going to the Kompakt thing as well? d00d!)

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 12 March 2004 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Vahid, you know the imputor? record guys at all?

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Dizzee is at the Mezzanine March 16th Weds

wtf did I just read this correctly? Are we speaking of the Rascal in SF next week?

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

omg i can't believe i missed that. is it true? where's the mezzanine?

If I have to kill someone for a ticket, I would do so.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:08 (twenty-two years ago)

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Murder Dog! Haha!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

south of market dance club, never been. no idea where one gets advance tickets for this.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

xpost - donut

ehhh, a little bit. i really only know jeff from physics. i sort of know the the silver wizard brothers and DoSC, but only from the lou's records connection.

i never ever get to go to their shows because they're often on monday or tuesday (and there's something about IDM on saturday night that i can't endorse).

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

vahid, you worked at Lou's?

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Mezzanine, 444 Jessie.

― (Jon L), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:13 (twenty-two years ago)

south of market dance club, never been. no idea where one gets advance tickets for this.

but you are there right? you, me, all of us are there.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:14 (twenty-two years ago)

if I can get tickets for it, yes

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:15 (twenty-two years ago)

okay I guess I just bought 2 tickets for this, thanks milton

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

vahid, you worked at Lou's?

no, but lots of my friends did. i just lived at lou's for a while.

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I have tickets, too. hooray!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:26 (twenty-two years ago)

vahid, me too. how's this: i live in SF (Amoeba, Aquarius, Open Mind, BPM) and i miss Lou's tremendously.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe you miss the claustrophobia of it. it's like being in the walk-in closet of the world's most insanely dedicated music collector. (the used store = his garage)

i spent all of my time in mod lang, mainly i think because it reminded me most of lou's.

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:33 (twenty-two years ago)

While we're all making plans for the foreseeable future, did anyone scroll down to the bottom of that Blasthaus page? Any interest in April 30th? Alex mentioned this on the other thread, though I'm not sure why this has become "James Murphy" now.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

i can try to find out on sunday.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:47 (twenty-two years ago)

aaaah yes. Sunday.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

do you guys really think Dizzee is going to sell out? i mean i know he's big in ILM, but.......

― JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 12 March 2004 22:52 (twenty-two years ago)

but but but what?

I'm not taking any risks.

But yes, I have no objective idea of how big Dizzee is.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 12 March 2004 23:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been told his record sales are up there with interpol's for matador right now.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 12 March 2004 23:56 (twenty-two years ago)

THERE IS HOPE.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 13 March 2004 01:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Glad to be of service. I forgot to add the Dizzee thing earlier this week..I get to it late.. Man, two dates with glory in one week? Hey, if you guys go to Dizzee does that mean you'll scrap paying 7 bucks for the Rephlex thing? Better not. That would be tight. The bad tight ( like the old days ), not the new one. I'm scraping cash to get to both.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 13 March 2004 06:30 (twenty-two years ago)

What's up with LCD anyhow. Besides "Losing My Edge" he's not exactly good. I can't see anyone liking "Yeah".

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 13 March 2004 07:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh Yeah...Heywood sucks for intruding on my thread. Pick another night to promote yourself...DICK.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 13 March 2004 08:13 (twenty-two years ago)

we were walking out of club 6 after a sweaty night of dancing and my wife got her hair petted by a crack whore

I WANTED TO ASK. WAS YOUR WIFE'S HAIR CONSIDERED PRETTY?

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 13 March 2004 08:19 (twenty-two years ago)

OF COURSE. WHAT KIND OF WOMAN DO YOU THINK I WOULD MARRY?!?!

― JaXoN (JasonD), Saturday, 13 March 2004 08:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't see anyone liking "Yeah".

Have you read "the thread"?????

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Saturday, 13 March 2004 09:11 (twenty-two years ago)

so who is going to dizzee tonight and should i get tickets at the door?

― scissors (Honda), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I will be there. My shirt has a cactus on it. I am short.

I can't make it for Saturday, sadly.

I already booked my ticket.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 March 2004 03:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you going to Luomo?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 18 March 2004 03:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Definitely.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:03 (twenty-one years ago)

on friday is it better to go see seiji at milk or dani siciliano and soft pink truth?? i want to see some fools dancing.

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:11 (twenty-one years ago)

(x-post)Cool. Let's see if we can actually find each other this time (I'll post a better description of myself and what I am wearing tomorrow haha cuz I still don't have a pic of myself on my home comp.)

Oh yeah Vahid if you still want that 4cd Formation jungle mix thing I saw it at Amoeba SF for $18 (it's been there for a while, I think.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmmmmm...Seiji, I think.

Fools don't dance enough round here.

(x-post okay, I'll check back tomorrow, I think JaXoN will be there too)

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:14 (twenty-one years ago)

looks like i wont be able to make it tonight. but i'll be there on saturday. friday i might go see dani though i don't think it'll be a dancing affair and i remember somebody on here saying they were underwhelmed.

― scissors (Honda), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:15 (twenty-one years ago)

is there any secret way to get from SF to berkeley in less than 2 hours past 12:20 or so?

― scissors (Honda), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:18 (twenty-one years ago)

public transportation

― scissors (Honda), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Taxi is it.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:20 (twenty-one years ago)

aha. duh, hmmm...

― scissors (Honda), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I live in Berkeley and have a car but I'm not going on Friday. Sorry.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:26 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks for the tip alex!! i'll post my tshirt on saturday - hope to say his to some ilxors at the soundmurderer show.

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahaha the fucker better play for more than 30 minutes here. Fuck the rest of that Rephlex shit.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:31 (twenty-one years ago)

im kinda excited about how the nyc people made plasticman/markone sound as well.

http://www.mochipet.com/trouble/
this guy's site doesn't list them though and has kid606 in there which i hope is some kind of mistake.

― scissors (Honda), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:38 (twenty-one years ago)

haha starski & clutch are pretty tight, though!!

(i am the LAST remaining ghettotech fan, i think)

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:42 (twenty-one years ago)

suddenly i am twice as excited about this show

suddenly i am half as excited as i imagine what the crowd reaction to ghettotech is going to be like.

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Vahid...you might be...you might be right about ghetto tech. I hope to bump into ya'! That would be cool.

Scissors...I already talked to Plasticman. Him and Mark One are both there for sure. Smuggle in some Heinekens so the young kids can drink!

― cRaiG (craig!), Thursday, 18 March 2004 06:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, I thought Dizzee was pretty damn great.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 March 2004 10:08 (twenty-one years ago)

pros= when he broke out the drum n bass ting (did he do that in NYC or Toronto?). I got all teary and homesick. But in a good way.

dud=the decks fucking up during "Vexed", the guys checking their text messages who stopped me from dancing/getting closer, no more bogling frat boys plz.

Bring on Luomo, I can't fucking wait.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 March 2004 10:11 (twenty-one years ago)

this was fun.

pros = lousy turnout! sure that's bad for him and the club, but good for me meaning it wasn't too hot and you could breathe and move around.
dud = going on at 1 AM instead of some human time. also I guess Dizzee isn't going to be winning any freestyle competitions soon judging by that last bit.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Thursday, 18 March 2004 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Another pro I forgot= Dizzee bigging up E-40.

― Antmusic78 (Antmusic78), Thursday, 18 March 2004 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Were you there too?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 March 2004 17:07 (twenty-one years ago)

on friday is it better to go see seiji at milk

what kinda stuff is seiji? i'm going there for a birthday party. should i be excited about the music?

also, i'm definitely going to luomo tonight. kinda tall, super skinny. blue button up, short sleeved cowboyish shirt. grey dickies. abe lincoln beard. i'll be there with a guy that looks just like me and a lil filipino girl.

― JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 18 March 2004 17:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Isn't Seiji broken beat?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 March 2004 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

'kay me and my girlfriend Jen will be there around 11 or so. I'm around 6'2, slim, white guy, white short sleeve collared shirt, probably jeans, short blond hair, glasses in my late twenties, etc. I'm gonna take a nap now. Later.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 19 March 2004 01:02 (twenty-one years ago)

hi, my name is jess, i'm 6'7", paunchy, red t-shirt, boxer shorts, i like long walks in the park, the music of vybz kartel, sauteed mushrooms, and movies featuring talking apes. i'm also a pisces, and my favorite color is blue.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 01:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Jess, I have been reading Hate and I can't stop thinking of you as Buddy Bradley. I know you're a fan, so I hope that you take that as a compliment. It's meant as one, ya know.

Errrm, like I said above, I'm short, sorta longish brown hair, black jacket thing with thin horizontal red stripe across it. JaXoN knows what I look like...I will be alone.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 19 March 2004 02:04 (twenty-one years ago)

well my misogyny and illwill towards my fellow man certainly rival's buddy's.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 02:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I think that was the thing...

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 19 March 2004 02:10 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah it wasnt the fashion sense probably

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 02:11 (twenty-one years ago)

are you really 6'7"?

― JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 19 March 2004 02:46 (twenty-one years ago)

yes

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 02:46 (twenty-one years ago)

do you drive with the car seat all the way back?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 19 March 2004 02:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Jess' wearing of boxer shorts (at this early stage of his life) make him less Buddly Bradley-esque (plus he lost the Buddy Bradley LOOK-A-LIKE contest and the mutherfucka who won WAS Buddy Bradley.)

Also I can't believe anyone likes the music of sauted mushrooms.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 19 March 2004 09:47 (twenty-one years ago)

the luomo show was pretty fab. he played a laptop and a crazy sampler/mixer thing. he played some stuff like his old chain reaction material (super minimal), but most of it was off of or similar to the new album. very often he broke up the beat with glitch tomfoolery that sounded as if the sampler was on the fritz. very disorienting and cool. we kept checking to see if it was the speaker (which actually kept coming unplugged throughout the night). some parts of the show were so noisy that the entire audience were dancing with their hands over their ears.

alex, he only played for about 10-20 minutes after you left,,,,,, but they were the best 10-20minutes of the show. ;)

my wife's favorite part of the evening was seeing Yes from road rules semester at sea (she would leave me for him). it was hillarious to see him dance because it's so obvious he's an ex-raver (stuff they don't show you on the show)

― JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 19 March 2004 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahaha wooo boy this is a total case of glass half-empty/glass half-full cuz I thought it was pretty lame (I won't tell you what Jen thought but suffice it to say it was even less complementary.) Thin sound, thin vibe (I have no idea who or what most of the audience expected--probably more hard techno as that seem to the general theme from the opening DJs) and really a pretty disappointing performance from Luomo himself (part of it can be blamed on the sound, I guess, and I will say that occassionally the way he dubbed out a vocal/bassline sounded fabulous.) But I could tell this was a guy who 1) doesn't dance and 2) didn't really care if anyone else was dancing to his music (hahaha alienating a confused crowd--and what a weird crowd it was--by lapsing your otherwise gorgeous/fussy sounding disco into white noise-glitch-filled nonsense--fantastic Mr. Delay, thanks a lot.)

Nice meeting you and your wife though, JaXoN! Hahaha hopefully the um 2ManyDJs, LCD Soundsystem, !!! thing will be better (I have no hope for the Rephlex thing--cept of course that Soundmurderer will be god and everyone else will be ignorable.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 19 March 2004 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)

>he played some stuff like his old chain reaction material (super minimal)

makes me wish I had gone. I have no stomach whatsoever for Luomo but I love Multila.

I'm going to soft pink truth tonight, running over after the Helmut Lachenmann show on Capp street...

― (Jon L), Friday, 19 March 2004 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, that's so funny. i have to hear what Jen thought. i won't take it personally i swear.

the sound did suck. i can totally understand why you guys went to the other side of the room when that speaker near us kept coming unplugged. and it was totally trebly.

you are right about him being a non-dancer (did you see him hump his sampler?) and not exactly catering to his audience. but i saw people dancing all night. it did turn into more of a listening experience for me than a dancing experience, but even i dusted off the ol' dancing shoes once in a while. i loved hearing songs that i recognized but having them change up in ways i wasn't expecting.

i also think you may have expected the worst (you seemed a little down on him when you were talking about his interviews and not being into the dancefloor) so maybe this changed your perception of the evening?

oh yeah, and his puny 1/2" pony tail? not cool

― JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 19 March 2004 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha no I was really thinking that if he played it straight the music would have been perfectly danceable despite the sound problems (perhaps a little mellow for this particular crowd's tastes, but I would hope that eventually they would have gotten into it.) So I had hopes (not high ones, but I was hoping it was gonna be gonna good.) Some people were dancing yes, but a lot more people were just standing around (and when more people are dancing for the opening DJs than the headliner, you're not doing something right as far as I'm concerned.)

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I keep forgetting about them (mostly cuz they weren't on the original bill.) I'm sure they will be good too (hahaha in the Bay Guardian they are advertising the Rephlex nite as the "rave" of the year haha whoo nellie are some people gonna be lost.)

Uhhh, guys I guess I missed you, I got there pretty late and wasn't around for long. I was a bit disappointed, but not as much as Alex, it seems.

We need to start a thread like the "Los Angeles, CA' thread to keep track of shows n such.

Luomo was a DUD in L.A. I made my friend a best of Luomo disc at home before the show and was wondering how Luomo got a copy to put in his laptop and push play while looking like he was doing something (and I usually LIKE laptop shows).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 22 March 2004 23:01 (twenty-one years ago)

adam, were you really at the luomo show? did you ever go downstairs?

I ended up splitting way way early (so no Soundmurderer at all and only about half of the Plastikman DJ set, I am guessing) but I can say that everything up until the point I left sucked other than Plastikman which was 1) great and 2) the only danceable thing played up to that point (hmmph!) The whole Tigerbeat6 crew was pretty dull biz (someone--the ghettotech guy, I think, and not the gabba guy--closed their set with the tamest remix of "Bellydancer" imaginable.) The Rephlex DJ was wretched (couldn't mix worth a damn and who the fuck can dance to Autechre rip-offs anyway) but he did play the new Bug single which sounded great (some totally unknown to me female dee-jay on it) and Black Devil Disco Club. Anyway Bogdan whatever his name was next (why the fuck couldn't they have closed with this guy--he's sampling or mimicing Soothing Sounds For Baby and I could just leave and go home and mix Raymond Scott into my memories of his lame Aphex Twin/Squarepusher knockoff tunes and then fall asleep.) Anyway I have nothing nice to say about him. Then Plasticman comes on and me and Jen leave because it's actually good (don't ask) and that's the end of my night at the Rave of the Year.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 00:36 (twenty-one years ago)

X-post

ok. first few hours were all skittery drill drums, 200 bpm gonzo-gabba, kitsch, "terrorized" versions of ginuwine and kardinall offishall, NES infantilism, etc. wasn't really feeling it. i think bogdan was treated as the 'headline act' as it were.

the plasticman/markone segment finally started around 1 and wasn't as larger-than-life revelatory as i'd hoped for but still really fun. i think it got the biggest crowd reactions in terms of exciting the way people move (i believe it was a darqwan track [!] that set people off). of course there were only a few clusters of people dancing while everybody else stood around.

as for soundmurderer, well... we got about 30-40 minutes of his signature breaks jungle which was - amidst all the rephlex/tb6 chaos - the only thing that was both quite challenging and pleasurable to dance/attemptdancing to. sorta like grasping a quivering thread trying to find a pattern in the bass and snares to move with, but the tension is what made it (vs. a discernable groove appearing only to be laptop-fucked away). after about half an hour he switched full on to 4-on-the-floor booty music which the sparse remains of the crowd enjoyed, maybe til the end of the night. i left around 3 while it was still going on.

no candy kids showing up for "the biggest rave" but there were a couple of people in rabbit suits and i took a leak next to a wolfman.

― scissors (Honda), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 00:45 (twenty-one years ago)

don't worry, alex! soundmurderer played for about thirty seconds, then someone else came on and started mixing back-to-back dj funk and dj assault and sped-up house anthems. there was a version of "new jersey deep" with a 130 bpm kick drum that was pretty hot. of course i was thrilled at these developments but at that time it was 3:15 am and my girlfriend had completely tired herself out trying to dance to bogdan raczynski (WACK) and i was completely stiff just from being in a murderous rage at the suckitude of the whole affair.

plasticman's set was really really short, too. in fact philip s had to tell me that soundmurderer had played, i couldn't tell who was who at all. the rephlex dj started his set with some dubstep, so at first i thought HE was plasticman. i thought the soundmurderer set was just some interstital tracks some guy was throwing on it went by so quick. oh, and he played some aphex and squarepusher, too, further confusing the matter.

and i'm pissed i didn't get to say hi to anybody!

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 00:47 (twenty-one years ago)

OH that was soundmurderer playing the booty house???

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 00:49 (twenty-one years ago)

i think it was him. unless he traded places with somebody who looks a lot like him while i wasn't looking.

Me and Jen were up front by the left speaker.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 00:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i danced through plasticman and soundmurderer up around the front. the rest of the time my friend and i just sat around sipping drinks wondering when it'd get better.

― scissors (Honda), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

So what else is happening? ;)

― Antmusic78 (Antmusic78), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 01:39 (twenty-one years ago)

instead of the soundmurder thing, i went to my friend's bday party at milk where seiji was playing. by the end of the evening, i was so fucking drunk, i had no clue what music was playing.

i introduced myself to who i thought was heywood jablomi (white dude djing before 12) but he didn't know what the fuck i was talking about. maybe it was him and i was just too drunk to understand?

― JaXoN (JasonD), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 02:10 (twenty-one years ago)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 03:34 (twenty-one years ago)

if anything plasticman/mark one played too LONG in nyc.

i'm still not 100% convinced the soundmurderer set wasn't pre-recorded. i didnt even see anyone operating any equipment during it.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 03:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahaha I kept on trying to remember which totally unremarkable looking white guy was Soundmurderer during the preceding awful sets ("it's that guy. . . no wait it's him. . . okay it's him") I could totally see him popping "My Awesome Ragga Jungle Mix" tape into a deck and then sitting back and relaxing for the rest of the time.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 03:43 (twenty-one years ago)

haha okay SF people did he play two songs off the album and a mix of shy fx's "who run tings?"? because if he did he's conning us all.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

on the positive side, he did play "stamina" by the dream team!!

and dj rephlex records played the "aphex acid edit" of "windowlicker" back-to-back with the aphex remix of 808 state's "flow coma", which is totally obvious because they're sequenced that way on "26 mixes for cash" but it was a pretty killer five minutes nonetheless.

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 04:06 (twenty-one years ago)

also i ordered two seven dollar red-bull-and-cokes, the bartenderess totally knocked one off the counter ballistic-missile-style all over my shirt, and then ONLY COMPED ONE OF THEM!!

fucking club six.

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 04:07 (twenty-one years ago)

alex i think i was standing a few feet to the right of you guys for most of the evening ... you weren't the couple actually physically leaning on the speaker for most of the early sets, were you??

I'm amused that we were so distinctively bored looking in a room full of bored people.

(xp)Nope. I didn't see ILM that day so I didn't know what anyone looked like.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I think some people here got a few Dj's mixed up. Mochipet was the japanese guy playing things I would imagine T.Ramshiere playing. He even wore a trucker cap and cheap looking t-shirt. I thought Grant (Dj Rephlex) played a fine set and didn't think his mixing sucked. He did play the obvious Rephlex canon though (AFX acid edits, Cylob..). Methinks it made for some fun acid-electro. AND AND AND....MarkOne was FANTASTIC. That was definitely my HIGH POINT. I am so relieved. The ILM nay-sayers have been disproved. Some of you started to give me doubts.

The low points were having a one square foot sweet spot. I stood near the DJ area the most. The DJ monitors were consistent. That space is not set up right. Soundmurderer became the vibe-murderer that night. I WISH he only played a half hour. Maybe only because I was so intent on listening to Plasticman's full set. I felt bad asking Chris (Plasticman) when Soundmurderer would be over. Paul...he did play Terror Danja. nice. Well... it sounded just like it.

I couldn't stay. My best friend AO needed to leave in a bad way. Plus the asses couldn't wait to pack up the equipment.

Okay..I left out a bunch of mean sentences.

Hi I just stumbled across this page on a search in google about the forthcoming Rephlex release from myself, Mark One and Slaughter Mob.

I just wanted to say thankyou all for turning up in San Fran and LA, and if any of you made it to any other shows - again, respect goes out to you guys for making my first Rephlex tour a very memorable one !

Those guys who waited til the end @ the San Francisco event, I'm really sorry that my set was cut short ! I think I'm as pissed about that as you guys are. I waited til 3:15 for the set which only lasted 20 mins - I think the fact the club shut the bar early had a major effect on the stamina in the rave !

Mark One played a whole hour on his own earlier on in the night and he represented really well ! I was really looking forward to getting on the decks toward the end, but sadly had a feeling toward the end of the Soundmurderer set that my night was going to end early !!

I'm sure I'll play San Fran again one day - It seemed on the night that the audience really enjoyed the "grimy" parts of the event, and on the whole tour aswell - it seemed pretty well recieved.

To make up for the shortlived set in SF, I will be putting a mix online for all to download and share - I'll be sure to post the link on this page for anyone interested.

Feel free to drop me an email for any info on releases or audio online.

Once again, Thank You ALL !!
