shocked that not many people have mentioned the coachella festival that
happened in california this last weekend (we dont get many of these :)
anyway, it was great fun.. but a few things struck me as odd..
it seems harcore/breakcore is in the future of IDM (well, i guess it is
already here in some ways with ambush/praxis/uncivilized world, kid606
etc).
however, autechre busted out a weird little breakcore song, and m-ziq got
downright destructive with what sounded like a hybrid of early harsh aphex
and newschool hardcore/breakcore.
and it was all so wonderful!
opinions? anyone? people seemed to especially eat up m-ziq.. even those
who didnt seem like they were there for idm type stuffs (and even those
tat seemed like they were there for rage against the machine/tool type
stuffs).
oh - and for those of you who are hip and beyond the hype of autechre..
thats too bad, because the live set they did was quite impressive.. VERY
diverse >>> ambient-noise-breakcore-4onthefloor(almost)-tweeky beats.
they went all over for one of the most intense and fun 1.5 hours i have
had listening to a performance (wasnt much to see :).
i guess thats all.
