well, let's see../ in the past three years we've had maybe 2 "idm" shows in dc...aphex twin and the phoenecia/metic/schematics thing (which also did new york). three if you count mu-ziq opening for bjork. not terribly exciting...i'd rather be in london.

Apologies if you live in South Africa and this has no relevance whatsoever, but I gotta stand up for the Baltimore/DC scene. If you think nothing's happening around there, check the Cloudwatch parties and assorted one-offs that the Sonic Soul crew up that way are throwing. Just this last weekend they hosted Byzar, Badawi, and DJ Ease from Nightmares on Wax among others. In the next month they've got Derrick May, Funkstorung, and a showing of Modulations lined up as well. Granted, most of the events are in Baltimore which isn't exactly D.C...but if you're in D.C. you can still head out to Buzz every weekend at the Capitol Ballroom. Lovegrove and the rest of the Sonic Soul crew drop leftfield beats on the chillout deck in the summer. Check www.sonicsoul.com for details. It's not London, but it's not all bad either...Brock
