The Aphex Twin can be quoted as saying that they were the best live electronic act he had seen when they performed in London last in 2001 - and since then they have toured all over the world with their live Atari rave blast hits - dowsing the crowd at Recyclart in Brussels couldn't keep the crowd from rushing the stage and the folks at Camp Gay in Chicago thought the floor was going to cave in with 300 people jumping up and down - so who knows what to expect when they hit the stage in London! www.bodenstandig.com/2000 ROTFLOL [Autmn Records USA] ROTFLOL is Pittsburgh based Jacob Ciocci, part of the Paperrad Crew (along with Jessica Ciocci and Ben Jones). When Jacob isn't creating zines or flash animations for John Peels' favourite band Lightening Bolt or busy at CMU, he is making music that's as colourful as the clothes he wears. Tonight members from the BEIGE crew present Jacob's, lo-fi, melodic, junked out, video gamey, crazy dancetime electro video tracks. Positive, fun, and uplifting casio freakouts. This music is like all of this 'neo-electro/synth pop' stuff, except better and without the cold, robotic, black turtleneck attitude. Jacob was to perform live for us tonight but unfortunately he couldn't make it. The video show is an experience in itself and was first performed in the UK by the BEIGE crew at the Liverpool Bienial last week to an audience that was totally blown away. BITCH ASS DARIUS [NES Records, Databass] Hailing from the current hip-hop hot spot of St. Louis [Nelly, Chingy, J-Kwon, etc...], Bitch Ass Darius is the most recent signing to DJ Godfather's DataBass label. Darius, affectionately known to friends as "Bitch Ass", made his name with releases on the now-defunct N.E.S [Nigga Entertainment Systems] label that popularised the ghetto bass sound throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area. DJ Assault, in town to check Darius' club night, took a few of his of 12's back to Detroit and they regularly found their way into sets and mix CD's by Assault and DJ Godfather. The rest is history, as Bitch Ass Darius' first DataBass EP showcases the best of his extremely hard to find N.E.S. back catalogue and more DataBass releases are on the way. Interesting to note - Bitch Ass Darius is so tight with Detroit legend Ron Murphy that Bitch Ass was to donate his kidney. [Ron Murphy is the of NSC who cut every single Jeff Mills, DJ Godfather / DJ Assault and Underground Resistance [to name but a few] record.] TETINE [Slum Dunk Radio, Resonance FM] Tetine means "nipple" and they are definitely our favourite Brazilians DJs who play dirty electro-disco-punk-booty-bass tunes from Rio de Janeiro extensively played in the Bailes. You can call it funk carioca or Rio funk. Tetine are releasing the first ever European compilation on Mr Bongo Records later this year featuring Brazilian hip hop beats with the filthiest raps. www.tetine.net LEKTROGIRL [micromusic, Rephlex, Lektrolab] Lektrolab resident Lektrogirl cleaning off her dusty fingers from Europes grottiest second hand vinyl shop to play obscure italo-electro gems, electro pop and homemade chipstyle tunes in an erratic and schizophrenic mix.
