1. my first thoughts tonite- F I N A L L Y Los Angeles IDM'er get what they need (thank you Gonzi, thank you Green Galatic)
2. my review: FUCK YEAH, WOW, and "oh this is why we call it INTELLIGENT DANCE MUSIC"
Lexaunculpt, SINGLE OF THE YEAR (don't forget the POLL) dropped a few new tunes. Only one I didn't recognize, the other new ones I've heard at his pad. Anyway it was the first time I actually heard a
repetitive bassline throughout an entire Lex track, pretty cool. The thing I love about going to see Lex play in public is how glued the "non" experienced people in the crowd get. I've been lucky to see
Lex play a bazillion times now and each time I people watch. it's the peeps look like they "don't belong there" that are the peeps i love to watch the most cuz their eyes get all big and they start asking
around "Is that guy performing music or are we all listening to a CD or something" I can't tell you how many times this has actually happened.
took a break outside and came VERY close to throwing my fist thru KID606's (what a fucking stupid name) face. That would have sucked since that loser recently had jaw surgery, lucky him!!!
Richie C. Divine came next and JEEEESUS Fucking maaaah god. I had NO FUCKING CLUE what to expect. I have the SCH05 since last feb cuz Romo gave me a white label. Then we hang out on Sat when Richie got
into town, even still this was not enough for me to be prepared for the BRUTAL ASSAULT this homeboy created with his computer. Everyone in the tiny Oxygen bar was breathless it seemed, THAT IS WHAT A
BRUTAL MOTHER FUCKER THIS GUY IS. Many mouths were dropped. Richie if you're reading, he he he, you are a psyck fuk. Send me those Snuff pix and your CD is in the mail
Finally Soul Oddity came on and dropped the classic DJ TOKYO and continued with their Soul Oddity antics. Good stuff, however I believe their sampler was giving them problems cuz thru out numerous trax I
noticed skips and pauses and so forth (no not part of that digital Ae wanna be style)
I've seen SO b4 and I can only say this wasn't them at their best, but it was still phat like a good blunt!
In between sets we were treated to some electro DJ's Two Silver Boxes. It's always good to hear them since they seem to be the ONLY fucking Electro DJ's in CA (can you belive this IDM LIST? sad eh?)
Besides, 1/2 of 2sBoxes is our own Brock Suter who rarely posts to the IDM list anymore, but is one badass motherfucker anyway. He's got some funny drunk friends who love to sit naked at a busstop on
Sunset Blvd..........
3. my final thoughts: 1999 is gonna be a fucking awesome year for IDM, I just know it!!!! Shhheeeit the new schematics alone are worth getting a big boner for. Watch out katz!
gilly
ps: This is being cc'd to the local ravers list since some of those listers were there as well.
pps: if you're up in SF, please do not miss RICHIE COLEMAN DIVINE HE WILL TEAR YOUR HEAD OFF, and he's anything like the snuff photos he's into, he'll prolly shit down your throat too!!!!!!!
