Re-Clark

As I already previously mentioned, my colleague/s put on an amazing night last week, with Autechre, SND and Rob Hall.
Now, I just bumped into this video of a Chris Clark liveset (I think?can't really see, and the video even only cuts 30 seconds of each tune or so)...I always liked his lullaby stuff..Was some of that stuff that almost made me sob for how amazing it was.

Then he started making techno.
I recently actually saw Chris Clark playing his techno stuff at Corsica.
And I really enjoyed it - I also enjoyed all that absynth tho, which is probably part of the reason why I forgot about that gig up till now.


Here's the video, those guys dancing at the beginning really make me giggle...second part is Chris Clark.

"The truth is I have long past dubstep saturation point. "

"The truth is I have long past dubstep saturation point. I love a lot of the music still, but it’s harder to find among the herds and the steaming piles of imitative stuff. A lot of people have made this complaint. A lot of people take the piss out of me from the outside because they don’t understand the reason I’m still stuck in dubstep raving is because a) I’m in love with a lot of the people and b) when you find the good dubstep, it’s still pretty damn amazing."

"The tits girl really made me think though, which is funny, because normally I mentally deride tits girls for being brainless. Coki is a bit of a rock star now. So is Benga, especially since the two of them did a track called ‘Night’ which is like the biggest thing in dance right now. It has been one of those rave things which supersede the shallowness of genre. Oh yeah. But when your bass-ship becomes so colonised you could compare it to Mick Jagger’s lifestyle, you really have to stop and ask yourself some questions. Have we lost the spirit of true rave? When I started hanging out with my right speaker geeks, raving was about getting away from people who went out to look at tits, and all the tits you see in the trashy papers everyday. It was about forgetting the fact you go to the cornershop and there are hundreds of magazines with tits all over them all up in your face.



"It was about getting totally, utterly lost in amazing sounds. It was a true thing of beauty. I went down by that right hand speaker and had astonishing listening experiences every other week. Now I seem to just hear the same banalities, like I am lost in a big sludge. Maybe I’ve just been expecting too much of it. Of course, the multi genres of raving mean there’s no one single facet to raving anymore. Maybe I need to do some more genres. But if I do, will I eventually get bored of them too? I remember when I was a teenager I went out raving a lot to jungle and then I got bored of it. I never thought it would happen again. "

Revelation of the Waw

...I eventually had the great idea (how constructive forced insomnia can be) to clean up those weird old posts from this blog, and I couldn't either change the picture (how destructive forced insomnia can be) which is the same I had for this waw myspace for which I can't remember either the login email neither the password.

Google it, as I can't remember the url either, some exceptional musical bits on there with exclusive collab. ;)

Hallo

Dot and myself put out Immigrant 002 about a month ago - yea was due much earlier..
You can find it on Boomkat, Warpmart etc etc etc even Phonica as I thought to be cheeky and ask them if they had that amazing record by Dot and Subeena and just selling it to them when they showed me the links to the other Immigrant Records instead..







I don't really know what's coming next, but I haven't finished a tune in ages and seeing Autechre live the other night at that carpark / warehouse (big up Tom again..man behind it) really made me get artistic envy..So when I tried to get something out of it and it didn't sound vaguely like it I got very annoyed.

Next week I'm playing at the House Party - also Plastician, D1, Rustie? and more












Next is Sub Conscious in April.
