Digital playtime and Computer love

Two strangely similar but very different gigs this weekend. Brother Ludo and I playing as Homoludo on the bill with Subversus this Friday in support of  Basek (mix to check) at mad chiptune and video game night Gamepak. Also playing elsewhere in the venue  that night are Martyn, who with Kode 9(link to a good review of his dissapointing book, Sonic Warfare) played my fav set at Block this year) and Dj Yoda…which is nice. And on Sat I think I’m playing at some diy media party thing also but will post when I know more.

And (again) on Sunday, Big Monster Love, sings of history in the digital age and love as social networking in Bewley’s Grafton street.

January 29 2010, The Cavern - Isaac Butts. (opposite Busaras), 10:30pm - 2:30am

Squire of Gothos (Coin Operated), Schemeboy (Ninja Columbo), DJ Rodfather (!Kaboogie)

Following on from the massive 4th birthday party gig recently, !Kaboogie will be bringin’ plenty more heft with this tasty event which sees the Irish debut of UK bassline rave-steppers THE SQUIRE OF GOTHOS, along with a welcome return from London’s SCHEME BOY. With support from !K-head DJ RODFATHER, this promises to be a right rowdy demon of a night. Sheeeeeeeeeet!

THE SQUIRE OF GOTHOS (Coin Operated Records / Electrostimulation Records / Tigerbeat 6)

Hailing from Sheffield, The Squire Of Gothos are one of the most original acts to emerge from the bassline sound of recent years. Their unique brand of raved-up, glitched-out, filthy bassline wonkyness demonstrates their knowledge in the fine art of dancefloor destruction. , these messers have quickly built up a dedicated fanbase through monster live shows and quality releases on Electrostimulation Records and Coin Operated Records, the latter being the well hefty ‘Clam Smasher EP’. A string of free mixes, some of the finest of 2009, have since solidified their position as masters of bounce. This gig sees them hitting Irish shores for the first time. Nnot to be missed.

SCHEME BOY (Ninja Columbo / Bang-A-Rang Records / Cock Rock Disco)Scheme Boy is a London based producer and dj, whose styles vary from dirty dub techno breaks to all-out banging melodic hardcore. Always intense, his live sets have torn apart dancefloors and eardrums at gigs and festivals across Europe for over 5 years. His last Dublin appearance at a monster gig in McGruders in 2008 was a highlight of a night that also featured sets from Cardopusher, Milanese and Ebola.

January 15 2010, The Twisted Pepper, Middle Abbey St., Dublin 1, 10pm

!Kaboogie celebrates four years of bringing the futhermucking BASS to Dublin with a whopper, two-floor line-up in the Twisted Pepper on Friday 15 January. With Terror Danjah, Wadadda, Moutpiece, Gramophone Disco and North Strand Kontra Band…

The ground floor of the Twisted Pepper will be a little different to the (un)usual !Kaboogie fare, with Gramophone Disco hosting the evenings festivities and also doing a little decoration job on the place! Supremo Dublin punkers Moutpiece will be lashing it out, followed by the jump-up specialists North Strand Kontra Band.

Down in the bassment we’ll have the mighty Terror Danjah, hot off his recently released “Gremlinz” album on Planet Mu. Expect grime that’d put even Mr Muscle into a panic. Further bass treats come all the way over from Germany, with the dubbed out skank and bounce of Wadadda. Tactical bass support on both floors from the lovely !Kaboogie residents.

The night shall be kicking off at ten bells. Cos we is soooo nice to you, it’s only a MERE FIVER in before 11, then a tenner afterwards. Come down and celebrate with us, it’s gonna be mental buzz!

Terror Danjah
Terror Danjah - Glasssglow Mix  from http://www.thisisluckyme.com/html/1music/mixtapes.html

Wadadda Brixton Biznizz

North Strand Kontra Band
Blending the high energy, hypnotic sounds of the Balkans with everything from funk to drum and bass, The North Strand Kontra Band (formerly The North Strand Klezmer Band) Have brought fresh excitement to the live music scene over the last 4 years.“One of Dublin’s most exciting live acts” - The Irish TimesThe line up includes clarinet, saxophone, trombone, piano accordion, banjo/guitar, tuba and drums.

The Gramaphone Disco
The Gramophone Disco play Calypso, Jazz, R’n’b, Western Swing, Music hall - Modern music, but nothing after nineteen sixty. Played on all the formats of history from 78 records on. The dancer is transported back in time to an age when the future was new. Using Victorian, Edwardian, early Modernist art and decor, the visitor is enveloped in an antique world.

The Magic Lantern Cinema projects highlights of classic and early film,documentary and porn of both Irish and international production, that are tailor made to marry with the mood of the music.

The overall atmosphere is a dizzying party of great music and dancing. It is a sanctuary for those weary of the over stimulated post modern world.Playing dirty ditties at a shindig near you soon.

Moutpiece“..Dublin garage spazmo rockers mouthpiece, a fiery collective of absurdity and madness rolled into a rock n’roll machine of power.Loud, fast, obnoxious bursts of guitar fuelled mayhem, the band was formed by Gaz Moutpiece and Derek Gihad, armed with a blistering bag of riffs and a voracious thirst for everything, they recruited Tommy Trousers on bass duties and set off on the road. Tours of Holland, Ireland and festival appearances ensued and the spazmo garage punk rock n’roll was brought to the masses, who enjoyed it immensely.Conzo Hercules joined to add more guitar mayhem into the mix and now with a new album on the streets, Moutpiece are set to go into hyper drive, so don’t miss ‘em…”

Turns out Moutpiece can’t play due to snow related injury.

The man Bogdan playing- His music is fun, fucked up, charming , innocent and banging(at the same time!) and my favourite of the wave that included; Sqaurepusher, Mike Paradinis, Aphex et.

The last time he played, he was drunk /out of it-

all the idm heads were getting really pissed off, he kept falling on
the table with his laptop and rolling around,
kept getting pulled off, hitting play again, then falling again, as portions of
the crowed got more pissed off.

I was cheering.

one of me fav gigs ever!

Pleased to be on the bill, I’ll try and lash up a mini mix of his music before the gig.

Bogdan the Man mix.

Six foot apprentice and I are warming up for Herv and The Vinny club at the launch of their split single on Richter Collective tonight. Herv’s sets have been blowing me away, with a warm detroit motor soul infusing his patented brew of idm and breakcore.

The Vinny club is famed for putting on a great show with super mario guitar hero antics in his live sets.

The first 200 get a copy of the single.

Getting Durrty Goodz and Gaybriel Heatwave over tonight for the best of grime, dancehall and bashment .

For an idea of Goodz’ amazing flow and sound  check this live recording he did on Kiss fm

And his piss take of the electro grime fad

Durrty Goodz- More 2 da floor

Playing on the night with him is Gaybriel Heatwave. He played the Noting Hill carnival with Goodz and they often collaberate. The heatwave blog is one of the best online for Dancehall nuggets and news.

Playing this gig tonight with Section 4, Chrips, Six Foot apprentice and Herv
It’s an early on from 8-12 in the lower deck in Portobello, Dublin.

I heard a rumour that Indymedia, Ireland might be shutting up shop soon( too many blogs and other sources of information). As a founder member (Indy Media Seattle in Prague  -”gee, you guys should do this over in Ireland” which we did.),  it’s interesting to have been in at the start and end of something like this. I’ll try and post some videos/films from those heady days at some stage.

Linked below(it messes up this page if I put it here) a paranoid AI themed video from Eamon Crudden who I used to make films with. I saw it at the opening of the Irish museum of contemporary art last Friday. Other good live content was smSage a surveillance camera that speaks when you text it- ’sex sex sex i see you i see you i see you sex sex sex fun’ it’s creators Tim and Ralph agree it would be fun while smoking fags outside a nightclub so I’ll try and organise that soon, maybe at the Bug and Warrior Queen next week. Also a performance by modular synth improv act Push,move,click was good craic, though not as much fun as Ken Grizzle’s speech. An inspiring rant against western tonality and the complexity of musical instruments saying how they should be as immediate as a marimba and playable by your granny- my fist was in air. They went on generate tones from a set up that probably cost about twenty grand and looked like an aircraft control room. Run grannies run!

General Info:

THE STARS ARE UNDERGROUND
“In 1996, filmaker Daragh McCarthy directed a documentary inspired by
the noises emanating from Dublin’s independent rock scene. At the
time, we didn’t know if this urgent groundswell in activity was
destined to be just an ephemeral phenomenon or whether it was the
foundation for a future infrastructure. All we knew was that it was
some of the best and most pro-active music making in a country other
wise smothered by corporate bandwagoneering and post-U2 tail-chasing.
The Stars Are Underground was, quite simply a film crying out to be
made. In retrospect, it has become a prescient foretaste of the depth
of fine music being made in Ireland, four years later. Stars… is a
film about dreamers, visionaries, wannabe Warhols and shoe-string
svengalis. A film about punk-rock, country outlaws, decadent
discordance and slack jaw stoners. It’s about people relearning the
DIY process and starting to get it right. Releasing their own records,
making their own videos, designing their own sleeves, organising their
own events and basically doing the complete opposite to those who so
willingly bowed down to the industry before them. But this documentary
doesn’t wallow in underground romance. It details with the day-to-day
hands-on banalities of being in a band, the lure of the corporate
dollar and the struggle to be heard. The music ranges from brash and
formative excorcisms of anger, to sophisticated, aspirational
creations, to probing, vehement experimentation. Jubliee Allstars’
initial releases on their own Hi-Tone label and Dead Elvis, sound as
fantastic as the first time they shambled revolutions round your
record player. As does Wormhole’s low-slung primitive hypnosis and
Luggage’s muffled and debonair series of Eps on Blunt Records. And
Female Hercules and Bambi and the Great Western Squares and Pet Lamb
and The Idiots and Mexican Pets. Some of them have gone, some still
here, in one form or another. Label owners and media-mouths such as
Colm O’Callaghan, Dan Oggly and Eamonn Crudden have their say too,
discussing the naivete that fuels these records, and questioning the
magnitude of the independent structure. International figures such as
Therapy’s Andy Cairns and Fugazi’s Ian MacKaye express words of wisdom
and, well, words of simple enthusiasm. The latter warns us not to
expect to make any money in this industry. But what’s probably most
satisfying about The Stars Are Underground is how the artists
themselves define this whole time with a sense of community. It’s
almost politically incorrect to use the word “scene” these days, but
whatever it was , this time and place, it was where connections were
made that ring true to this day. The year 2000 has already seen
several great Irish records, and all going according to plan, 2001
will be better again. The roots lie here in this film, and for those
aware or interested in these facts, this is essential viewing. A
low-budget film about a low-budget scene. It won’t be forgotten
quickly.” Leagues October 2000

E+S=B: ELECTRONIC SENSORIA BAND
Electronic Sensoria Band arose in 2002 from improvising sessions
between Fergus Cullen and members of The Wormholes and Memory Cells at
Dublin’s legendary Lazy Bird club. Their backing of the legendary
ex-Can vocalist Damo Suzuki at his debut Dublin show was recorded and
became the first release on their Last of our Kind label. Since then
they have scaled down to a three piece line-up consisting of Fergus on
guitar and clarinet, with brothers David and Anthony Carroll on drums
and bass.

Quote from Road Records on ‘Pteranodon’;
… two very beautiful synth driven ambient pieces with hints of
everything from jean michelle jarre, tangerine dream and klaus
schultze. There is also an element of some early krautrock
experimentalism akin to the likes of cluster or even harmonium. The
album features ‘Pteranodon’ and also ‘A Bao a Qu’

The wedding and birthday equation

I’m Playing a 30′th birthday tomorrow night for a friend - Mikey

It got me thinking - I sometimes play “weddings” or “birthdays” for friends but don’t do so commercially. Doing so can result in the classic request situations - ‘got any Bob Marley?’ or ‘ got anything good?’,  the former from “lads” and the latter from drunk girls looking for the latest girl pop etc.

You have to be armed with both doing any wedding or like situation but doing it for a living would probably result in musicophobia (having said that the downside of being an “underground Dj” is there are not enough opportunities to play ‘Piece of me’ and the like.

It also got me thinking that I should share the equation for doing these types of gigs in case you are called to the honour of soundtracking somebody’s great moment. Here it is.

 

y - a +11 = v1

y - a +19 = v2

Where y = the year

             a = the age of the somebodies

 Take V1 and V2 adding p to V1 and e to V2

Where p = poppieness

             e= edginess

Then graph  V1*p  to V2*e

The resulting graph will give you a sure fire guide to picking the music your somebodies will be sure to enjoy.

I’ll put up the graph later, as on the advice of my lawyer I’m patenting the system.

Like these guys who have cleverly patented the circle of fifths.

Anyway Mikey’s B’day Bash is on tomorrow night in the Westmoreland or whatever it’s called these days) on Westmoreland St.

Feel free to drop in.

Bring graph paper.

I’ll sue.

I’ll play a boy named Sue.

Some more wonky related info. Sasha Frere-Jones writing in the New Yorker about producers in Ghislain Poirier’s circle, joins the lets name game, coming up with lazer bass. Dj C runs a poll as to what it should be called with Starkey/Dev 79’s choice seeming to come out on top. All grist to the mill anyway, come along to the Electronic Resistance gig tonight and I’ll play ya some.

ps. No show upload so far this week as my f&(*%$£”! connection or software or something is acting up - will try to post one up from a caff. later.

Some Wonky gigs

Get your secretary to update your diary.

Some wonky gigs over the next while. Next week, playing with the Electronic resistance crew -the continuous beats wing of Seomra Spraoi, the only crew in Dublin who make a concerted effort to create autonomous zones in the city; a thankless and difficult task.

The bankholidy weekend after that - Starkey! A gig close to my heart as I was pleased to manage to book him for little ol’ McGrudders, on a tour where he’s playing fabric on the Friday night. And just when I needed some hype for the gig, this comes along - www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/on wonky n’all

An article about a(n attempted) new genre called wonky, conveniently the genre is pretty much the type of sounds I play; Starkey, Rustie, Quarta330, Zomby, grime like Trim and MC Beezy, bassline etc and general messed up bass heavy stuff with bleepy distorted midrange business - DIE PACMAN!.

Handily enough, I won’t have to jump so much as step daintily on to this one.

Anyway, some links to good recent Starkey sets from his show, seclusiasis radio on Subfm and an older show of mine featuring a clutch of his tunes.

April Subfm Set Playlist

May Subfm set Playlist

1st Subfm set Playlist

Starkey special -featuring a lot of his tunes.

And from his bio ‘Starkey is the mayor of Starkville, which is entirely inhabited by Starkbots, the robots he created. Starkbots are fueled by street bass gritty beats with melodic tendencies.

Performing as Starkey for only three years, Starkey is co-owner of Slit Jockey Records, a member of Philadelphia’s Seclusiasis and NYC’s Trouble & Bass crews. In 2005, Starkey won both the North American and Mid-Atlantic Laptop Battles, in Seattle and Washington D.C. respectively. He was also awarded the Choice Award for “Best UK Grime DJ in Philly” along with Dev79. Starkey has had a string of vinyl, cd and digital releases on labels such as Peace-Off/Ruff (France), Nonclassical (UK), Dead Homies (US), Starksound/Rag&Bone (UK) and LoDubs (US), and many others.

And the week before that (forgive the wonky chronology)

Playing with Ghislain Poirier on the 23rd. He’s a kind of bass Odysseus, blown on the winds of global ghetto tech hip hop and dancehall projects. Hate to think what his wife will say when he gets home.

Here’s a good set of his from a few months ago - Bastard Bass
Tracklist

Dj Halfdutch is playing also. Great party Dj who can get as nasty as she wants. Check out her podcast for new Irish indie mag State. Some lovely blends, check the first couple from Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan into Pharoahe Monch into Pablo.

Also, thanks to everybody who braved the sewer gasses of fibbers last week and made playing bagpipes drones as 303’s such fun.
