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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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 !!
