Hi there. After a brief hiatus, Clever Music returns to its native residency at London’s new and improved Public Life. Joining the dots between minimal house, electro and dub techno, resident DJ’s Mark-Henning and Alex Stephen will be joined by special guests Oliver and Ruben Henares [PulseWith] all the way from beautiful Barcelona. For those out of the loop, PulseWith is a hot label that bridges the gap between micro-house and the more thoughtful aspects of tech-house. The lads have been hosting strictly underground parties and building upon a considerable, unified minimal movement in Spain's 2nd capital. Within just 2 months of its inception, Pulsewith has attracted such luminaries as John Tejada, Jeff Bennet, Maetrik, Pheek, Jaumetic and Eduardo de la Calle and have some amazing artists signing up as we speak. Warming up for the evening will be France’s notorious D. Malicious – splicing exotic dub with deep grooving techno. If you need any more reasons to come along then look no further than the new sound system and extended opening hours – yes that’s right we now run ‘till 3am. And if you arrive before 10pm you will get in gratis.

The Mutek festival was again, very entertaining. Who wants to say something about the festival? While I didn't attend much of the shows (2 nights only), I want to say something about the saturday night evening: 1) Donna Summer is a unique character that deserves to play in such a festival, but SURELY not during that particular night. His music is experimental and I am a fan of his earlier releases. Saturday night was the first time that Mutek had an all-night show. To name a few artists on the list: Herbert (DJ), Crackhaus, Rip Off Artist, Isolee. Now I don't know why Donna Summer was inserted directly in the middle of the night. Ok, I admit it, I was the first to cheer when D. Summer came onstage, but wasn't expecting this kind of set: a moutain of distorted samples completely mashed and way to loud & fast, completely killed the crowd (about a third of the crowd left). Oh, and his attitude onstage is quite lamentable. Shouting insults to the crowd, telling everyone he felt like it was Toronto because nobody would react to his tunes (can't thing of anything good to say, at least don't start dissing Toronto people), and then coming back for an unwanted encore (people boo'ed at some point). And I'm pretty sure that Eric Mattson knew that this would happen, but didn't care (was it too hard to include DS the same night Errorsmith played, for instance?). Which brings me to the second point. 2) Eric Mattson is, along with Alain Mongeau (the founder and organizer of Mutek, which I truely admire), the only guy at programming. He has a huge collection of records, and usually a valid opinion about what goes on in the IDM scene. Did a lot for Montreal. But his personal tastes get in conflict with the festival, and I don't think it's the best approach. I'm not saying that DS should not have been there (although does he deserve it?), just maybe on another showcase. poussinfrais And if any of you wonder who was dancing onstage right next to Herbert, attending his own private show, it was Mr. Mattson. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
