NOMAD039: Erik XVI – Stories from the Dystopian Border

Erik XVI

Erik XVI treats us to a deeply atmospheric two hours this week. From dense soundscapes, through layers of complex techno and electronica, ending up in hard, broken beats, this is an excellent mix. Happily, it also coincides with the release of his new EP on Highpoint Lowlife recordings. You’d better go and buy it hadn’t you? It’s only 3 quid for the download. Can’t say fairer than that! I’ve got it. It’s fucking mint. Track list after the jump.

Janek Schaefer & Cottrell/Kopecek/Hunter @ Burst Couch Posted by Badger Von Winklebaum

Cottrell / Kopecek / HunterI admittedly know very little about drone music and sound art. I know some of it is brilliant though, and Burst Couch always seems to come up with the goods. They had Graham Massey on last time. This time it was headlined by the apparently legendary Janek Schaefer, who played at a wooden throne mangling weird noises from some strange box through effects pedals. See how much I know about this stuff? Pictured above: Cottrell/Kopecek/Hunter of Concrete Moniker Records.

Burst Couch Electronica Posted by Badger Von Winklebaum

Disco Operating System @ Burst Couch 26

Bust Couch is Manchester’s longest running Electronica night. I’ve had trouble finding decent non-dancefloor nights of this ilk recently, but this one definitely makes up for it.

Now in it’s new venue at St.Clement’s Church, upgraded from the shitty function room above some pub, it’s the best chin-stroking you’ll get this side of Aphex Twin’s pants. Or something like that. The last one had visuals by Cycloptic (who I was going on about before), music from Disco Operating System, Parking Non Stop, and the mighty Two Grahams.

The Two Grahams, if you haven’t heard of them, are Graham Massey – a founding member of 808 State – and Graham Clark, a jazz violinist who has played with Elbow and Gong amongst others. Together, well, you need to hear them :-)

More pictures after the jump…. and get down to the next one!

NOMAD021: How I’m Livin

Ritual sacrifice of 3 goats and a chicken has bought sonic fruit to the valley of bass. DJ Kane of the Ohana soundsystem delivers a succulent platter of hiphop, electronics and dubstep to the waiting gibbons. May your testicles or mammaries vibrate with impending

NOMAD005: Jazz and Electronica

Got Quixotic down to play some tunes…he isn’t a DJ, but he writes some beautiful electronic music and as I now know he’s a trained classical composer. No fucking way! Hopefully I’ll get him or his band to do a live set sometime soon. In the meantime, listen to this, and download some of his tunes from archive.org. They are proper good!

NOMAD004: Electronics with a hint of BLOODCLAAAT

RearSpoiler, who for some reason has come all the way from sunny Australia to the fucking well cold UK, mixes us up some dubstep, ragga, jungle, breakcore and tec house… dunno whether its actually called tec house at the moment…stuff on labels like BPitch Control and Shitkatapult anyway. Marvellous. Check his own productions out on myspace.com/rearspoiler too…they’re pretty good :-)
