Electronic Turkey, Midi Metal + Daphne Oram Industrial Reels - October 1st. 11



We'll be sampling tuns from remote mountains in Canada, tunes penned in Argentina, London, L.A and so on. Celebrating the ochres of Autumn and the not necessarily foreboding dark nights ahead, there's a veritable box of chocolates in there (sic SBTRKT).

From 1am Chris Weaver plays out industrial reels from Daphne Oram, her demo pieces to show the potential of her groundbreaking system.

Fishtailing Tonight Between Prevailing Analogue Revival and Rare Psych













Tonight Ruth White sets her synths to this Baudelaire poem (back in '69, but once again on the show):

Evening Harmony

The season is at hand when swaying on its stem
Every flower exhales perfume like a censer;
Sounds and perfumes turn in the evening air;
Melancholy waltz and languid vertigo!

Every flower exhales perfume like a censer;
The violin quivers like a tormented heart;
Melancholy waltz and languid vertigo!
The Sky is sad and beautiful like an immense altar.

The violin quivers like a tormented heart,
A tender heart, that hates the vast, black void!
The sky is sad and beautiful like an immense altar;
The sun has drowned in his blood which congeals...

A tender heart that hates the vast, black void
Gathers up every shred of the luminous past!
The sun has drowned in his blood which congeals...
Your memory in me glitters like a monstrance!

— W. Aggeler, The Flowers of Evil (Fresno, CA: Academy Library Guild, 1954)

A Modern Old School



A night of modern old-sounding dance music to celebrate the debut London performance of VHS Head on 10th September. A lot of the show will sound like: "why-don't-you-turn-off-the-radio-and-go-out-to-hear-this-live-instead".

CEEPHAX ACID CREW, VHS HEAD and LEE GAMBLE play exclusive
live sets at the launch of brand new night XENOGLOSSY on Saturday,
September 10, at the Shacklewell Arms, Dalston. Xenoglossy
'aims to explore the mind-meltingly colourful area between various
forms of modern-day electronic music-making'.

Ceephax Acid Crew with their disgracefully hedonistic approach to analogue acid rave are joined by VHS Head for his first London performance. VHS Head sounds like an 80s keyboard with the frog in it's throat playing for the soundtrack to the Twilight Zone. We love him, hopefully after the show, you will too.
