coreline

ace night last night

disphraxia
freddy played a blinder, really good set, i think his take on break core is the one that is closest to what im enjoying music wise at the moment.

suffered from the size of the venue, the giuar as a percussion instrument, alas somthered by a bit of a duff mix, sounded like patches of interwoven static seranading harsh beets and well thought out lyrics (i think) im going to track down a few mp3's and the like, i recon theres a lot of fun subtelty in there somewhere... oh, and for those who follow my 'rants' - the threee gituars were front of stage, the electronix were hidden away at the back, facing the wall. *sigh*

Machienochrist
this was proper breakcore, brutilised squarepusher, all the genre defining big samples used beautifully and the breaks were yay. I can honistly say i havent quite got break core yet, its was good listening music, but theres no way i could dance to it for an extended ammount of time. and it was on for an Extended ammount of time. The slight yet nagging technical difficulties ascide tho a very competant and pleasingly live performance.

hypnoskull
i feel a bit naff raving about the headline act, but hypnoskull ended music, the mutability of it, totally interactive, seemingly compleetley generated by the whims of a mad belgian. the one or two tracks from his previous albums which did get an airing seemed stifled and viceral, tracks to keep the public happy, compaired to the sophisticated thematic caffiene rush of the new break-core. The genre seems a little young in this county we cenranly cant provide the multy thousand audiences mr scull is used to in belgin, and as such his music was to me, like waking from a life withought music to some tschicoski symphony, so rich in its sophistication and experteese of execution. Absent was the somwhat tiresum amen break, hypno seemed to be able to pull truley innovative rhythmic perversions out of everything form gabba 4/4 to pop-hop's rolling rhythms, there was not a dull moment. Hypno seemed to approach sound at a macro level, frequently shattering the metric grid, swopping tempo, flipping between a seemingly endless number of beautifully prepaired breaks, this was serilism with a realistic approach to tempo, cage and boulez would have approved.
so, yea. a bit good.
