Hello. I'd like to remind you about our event on the 30th April.
Bleep43.com is proud to present the debut UK live performance of HIEROGLYPHIC BEING. We've also managed to persuade CONVEXTION to play live, and he completes the mini tour which Bleep43.com has organised, with his debut London performance at CHANNEL2. Last but not least MAX DULEY will play another spell-binding late-night set for us. Please find further details and the flyer here: http://www.bleep43.com/ ABOUT CONVEXTION: Dallas-based Gerard Hanson's relatively infrequent 12s as Convextion, ERP, I/O and Syne Language are nowadays near-legendary and not easy to find following the inclusion of his debut disc as Convextion: 'Convextion' on several mix CDs by Derrick May and Juan Atkins in the mid-to-late '90s. In a similar way, Gerard himself has assumed the status of one of techno's demi-mythical icons due to the scarcity of his live appearances over the years and his almost total public silence, which has allowed his deceptively simple, yet highly refined and always sweetly emotional productions to speak for themselves. Before I say anything else which you might already know, I'll simply add that within the global techno community, witnessing a live performance by Convextion, has long been one of the holy grails of techno devotees. I hope those of you who can join us, will not miss this special, exclusive and probably seldom to be repeated (if ever) performance by the techno musician's archetypal musician. ABOUT HIEROGLYPHIC BEING: Jamal Moss is one of the prime candidates to pick up the baton from Chicago's early house pioneers, in the spirit of house and techno as an expressly electronic, highly-advanced, hedonistic, wild and slightly dangerous-seeming music - which is what it was, back in the day. In Jamal's prolific productions as Hieroglyphic Being, The Sun God, and I.B.M, it still is. Allied to his dozens of releases on such labels as Axis/6277, Spectral, Klang Electronic and, as a member of Dirty Criminals on International Deejay Gigolos, Jamal has built up a following for some exciting, vibrant, edgy but also potentially deeply transporting, live performances. These rely exclusively on the use of the same hardware which you will hear on his recordings. Many who hear Jamal Moss' records with their apparently rough production values, strident and hallucinogenic atmospheres, and unmistakably jacking rhythms are impressed, but not everyone. I feel that it's in his live performances, in which those elements, together with his palpable spirit of innovation (which is what techno was meant to be about in many respects) will often make the most sense. Please join us in this opportunity to witness the Hieroglyphic Being at first hand, to enjoy what you're already a fan of, or learn what you've been missing. ABOUT MAX DULEY: Although still relatively young, it's fair to say that Max Duley is a burgeoning one-man, UK techno cult. The beguiling intrigue of his productions from the earliest (in 1998) to the latest, means that that his discography is already relatively long. Through his ARC and ARCart vehicles, his records have raised the bar in the farther reaches of UK electronic dance music by the spiritual but also scientific ideas which his music appears to mediate. It's really little surprise that he has in the last few years performed at the few clubs which really matter in European techno. Don't miss this chance to hear Max Duley play one of his never-predictable sets, in his authentic late-night and unfettered element.
