Many thanks to everyone who turned out to the show last night. A genuinely pleasant experience all-round - no attitude, professional promoters, up-for-it crowd, smoking indoors - awesome!
Apologies for the constant needle jumps during our set. Half of the rig was actually on the stage, and when you consider that the stage is essentially a resonant wooden box, it's maybe not the best bet for avoiding stage vibration. It honestly felt like being in an underground bunker during a bombing. Anyway, I hope you still enjoyed what you heard despite the skips, we really enjoyed ourselves regardless, and met some really nice people along the way.
Zomby didn't turn up (shocker) and so Gaslamp Killer stepped in at short notice despite being a flu-ridden shell of a human being - he came through like a real soldier and performed an amazingly energetic set considering the circumstances - the people of prague should thank him.
The Bug ripped it up as was expected - my ears are still ringing and I'm fairly religious about wearing my ear-plugs!

Thanks especially to the Stimul crowd for making it all possible...

Abstractions 001 with Oyaarss
Abstractions001 - Oyaarss - "A la Holeage"
A: Original mix
B: Cloaks remix
I'm very pleased to announce the imminent release of this 12". The all black package should hit shelves Monday if all goes well. You can hear snippets at our myspace pages. Here's the blurb.....
"The excellent Creative Space label from Greece takes an away day for this extra-special release on their Abstractions imprint. Oyaarss is as broadly agreeable as the name may suggest, finding the original of 'A la Holeage' becoming a firm unreleased favourite of Mary Ann Hobbs, and rapidly becoming notorious amongst noise and experimental fans, not to mention the more sonically adventurous dubsteppers. Cloaks take the opportunity to put down their most sonically extreme material to date, as downright nasty certainly as anything yet emitted from their studios. A matching of like minds offers stunning and yet differing results -- where Oyaarss occupies an obliterated post-hardcore landscape, Cloaks almost allow you to experience the very elapsing moments of obliteration. Thoroughly invigorating and highly recommended!"
I love Oyaarss' music, and this is the classic track that everyone knows of his. It was a great pleasure to remix and I hope this release will wet mouths ready for his full-length outing on 3by3 next year.
Elsewhere, there are remixes happening in all shapes and sizes but don't want to give it all away here. 2010 is going to be busy.
