All the way from Detroit, Brendan M. Gillen AKA Ectomorph, is coming to
Seattle for his first appearence on the west coast. Brendan's Seattle
performance will mark the debut event for the new collective Edos
Productions. Edos is the focused efforts of Jerry Abstract, Chana Goodman
and Kuri Kondrak, to provide a North West conduit for Detroit music and
dedicated techno variations.
The event will be on Fri, Aug 31st, at The Aristocrats, located in Seattle's
Pioneer Square on the corner of 4th and Main. Spinning with Ectomorph will
be Detroit's Jerry Abstract, and Kuri Kondrak, music editor of Resonance
magazine. Doors will open at 9:30 and the show will run till 4:00am.
Some info about Brendan for those who may be unfamiliar:
Gillen has engineered electro's second coming with a three-pronged attack of
producing, distributing, and the creation of his own label.
Brendan's productions under the guise of Ectomorph and Flexitone have
enacted some of the most focused, compelling electro mandates to date.
Gillen's Star67 distribution company has also quitely been helping to push
the genre's anonymous labels from the deepest sound recesses into the light.
Since 1995, his own record imprint,Interdimensional Transmissions, has
actuated a strain of global neo-electro/tech-funk that has seen the earliest
incarnations of Ectomorph (from the skeletal thump and fuzz of "Subsonic
Vibrations" to the more recent dystopic take on dubby Arthur Russell disco
on "Destroy Your Powercenters"), the seminal From Beyond compilation and
subsequent releases from Holland's I-F (responsible for the dirty-Italo
disco sleaze "Space
Invaders Are Smoking Grass") and Austrian-based GD Luxxe (his 20th Door EP
revealed a hitherto unknown connecton from electro to post-punk/new wave
with strains of Joy Division). Whatever Gillen's actions, the purpose has
been to link the past with the future, the finished with the unfinished, the
ass with the mind. Expect to be inspired.
