So I just got back from Filler @ the Blue Room in Washington, D.C. John Selway played the last set, which is a rarity. Typically, the night has 3 (or 4) residents, one of whom is Richard Chartier, whose work you may know from Mille Plateaux, etc. This was also a Ghostly International promo night although I missed the result of that. Anyway... the night was titled "Proto-syntheseis" and was themed as an old school meets new school electro convergance. Selway played maybe 2/3rds old, and 1/3 new electro to a great crowd response. They were showing Liquid Sky throughout his set on the DVD monitor, and one of the earlier DJs even played a track from that soundtrack. It was a very fun night!
I think I've heard Selway is originally from DC, in which case it's a great month for DC, as Stewart Walker will be playing here for the first time *ever* next weekend, even though he used to live here. We also have Felix tha Housecat on Friday @ Buzz, which promises to be very interesting at worst (those who've been to Buzz will catch my drift). Also, Kent Williams AKA Chaircrusher and Stewart Walker will be conducting seminars at Metatrack Studios on the Saturday before the performance, one on Reaktor (Kent), and one on starting a label (both). Shawn Rudiman is playing live at the party with Stewart too! The entire weekend should be solid. If anyone can get here , let me know and I'll try to make things feel a little more at home.
