Ceephax Acid Crew, Free Lab Radio DJ Set

It was worth waiting for! After battling London traffic Ceephax arrived in his sheik-mobile to play tunes from his album United Acid Emirates, plus a selection of tunes he just loves to play. There's a 30 minute prelude here while we wait....

Saturday Night Live - The Sultan of The United Acid Emirates

Some things, it is said, can only be known by witnessing them.

If this is said about you in the field of music, this counts as a huge compliment. And so it is with Ceephax Acid Crew, who recently released United Acid Emirates and has wowed audiences for the past 15 years with his analogue keyboard blockbuilding live sets and cockney demands for sustenance (beer) over the PA.

Expect early electronic and analogue mayhem.

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)
