press blurbs:
Yard- [Narita, SKAM, Toast & Jam, Seed, Scarcelight, Modsquare,
ihatework, bassUp|trebleDown] LIVE!-Chicago
Yard, from Chicago, Illinois, brings his rare dancefloor destruction
to obliterate everything in his path. After touring the US multiple
times and played with the likes of Brothomstates (Finland-Warp),
Jacen Solo (UK-Ai), & String Theory (US-Skam) and dropping a feverish
12" release on UK/Miami label of the moment Narita and a hand full of
carefully picked compilation appearances, including the infamous UK
label SKAM!!! Yard brings it back again to the Northwest for an
exclusive engagement. A rampant nod to Detroit, breaks used out of
context, hiccuping vocals shredded through a meat grinder and
cataclysmic basslines. Yard's uncompromising sound evokes both
gritty city life and abstract organic atmospheres, creating the
perfect environment for shaking and thumpin'. Expect a night of well
crafted dance music and shuddering walls of sound.
Solenoid- [Orac, Zod, Omco, Emanate, Hiao Hiao Haio, Tigerbeat6, Toast & Jam]
Solenoid has been releasing electronic music from Portland, Oregon,
for over 10 years, but is mostly known outside of his home city on
the west coast of the US. His eclectic brand of electrofunk is
represented on labels from France, Germany, Spain, Scotland, England,
and Japan back to all corners of the US. Having recently dj'd at the
famous series "Bunker" at the Tonic club in Manhattan, and the
Periferias Festival in Barcelona on Nov 2004, he has been upping the
ante on his 10+ years dj'ing by adding a new kind of performance
--playing an electronic drumpad live while mixing.
Senor Frio- [Toast & Jam, xoxmag.com]
Señor Frio is one half of Portland's dynamic electro-duo, Ainu,
producing electro and techno tracks for nearly 4 years now. Playing
live, armed with a laptop, two drum machines and a Kotex cigarette,
Frio brings a continuous mix of beats, bass and electrofunk
blippiness. Frio's solo style still holds its roots in electro, yet
incorporates the elements of downtempo, house, idm and techno.
Having played solo gigs at Holocene, Noir, Night Light and Lower
Level in Seattle, Frio has honed his skills at at engaging the
listener with his own brand of techno-eroticism while gaining supreme
knowledge in rocking the dance floor, performing with the Spandecks
Syndicate and along side techno virtuoso Lets Go Outside. Some may
think the machine music is cold but Señor Frio es muy caliente!
