I'm pretty sure that last year's US championship took place in fall in New
York. Have this year's Nationals already taken place?
Details on the world championship will probably appear on DMC's website
(
http://www.dmcworld.com, as advertised during hip-hop week on MTV a few
weeks back), which doesn't seem to get updated regularly. I'm guessing
that when the time comes, you'll be able to get advance tickets through
either Ticketmaster or Ticketweb, not to mention local shops like Fat
Beats.
Regarding the new Bogdan Raczynski on Rephlex- I found the first half
pretty tedious and uninspired (plus populated by a lot of "I am now
talking through a ring modulator" moments), but the panicked vierdstep
mayhem of the second half more than makes up for it. On the other hand,
perverse, kinky and home-brew do kinda spell out A-F-X in my book... I
guess you can call it "that Rephlex touch." Though luckily, it's more
like an Aphexian attempt to recast an entire genre in one's own bedroom
than a straight derivation thereof.
