With barely enough time to catch our breath since the mêlée that was this
July's DS / OC collabo', it's time for us to fill you all in on what lies in
store for what we believe will be the perfect follow-up to the funk-ass
beats that Dan Curtin & Peel Seamus spoiled us with during the first
collaboration between East London's Outlet Collective & Brighton's Digital
Soul Records.
Since their inception 3 years ago, Digital Soul, with their ever-present,
strong sense of quality control, have been unleashing a steady stream of
first class deep n' funky, sometimes Detroit inspired, electronic
dance-music from their stable of extremely inspired producers; namely
Splinterfaction a.k.a. Mik Poynter (Previously releasing on the now defunct
Ugly Cutz label), The Monolith a.k.a. Andrew Moorse, Derek Carr (Trident,
Psychonavigation), D5 a.k.a. John Harvey/Dimension5 (Delsin, Raygun). Having
launched the excellent Splinterfaction remix e.p.(*) at the previous Digital
Soul Rebels party we are now extremely excited to be able to not only
showcase the producers behind their imminent new release, The Concrete Soul
Collective, but also one of the key inspiration to both the Digital Soul and
Outlet camps, the incomparable Ian O'Brien.
...Releasing 3 outstanding albums, a stack of killer 12"s, numerous timeless
remixes for the likes of Telex & Lisa Stansfield (Believe!!!), contributed
to the legendary 'Brother From Another Planet' project for Detroit's seminal
Seventh City imprint and compiled the eclectic 'Soul of Science'
compilations alongside Kirk Degiorgio, Ian has proved himself to be
something of a unique voice in electronic music. His music knows no
boundaries and spans pure Detroit ('Mad Mike Disease') thru the deep, the
jazzy excursions of his classic 'Gigantic Days' album to what can only be
described as the techno equivelent of 'Apache' (The awesome 'Teentown Beats
'). Ian's appearance heralds the arrival of a truly talented musician that
consistently defies expectation and we strongly urge you to join us for a
rare opportunity to hear Ian play in an intimate, artist-friendly
environment.
Making their LIVE UK DEBUT is the mysterious and enigmatic Stockholm-based
collective known as Concrete Soul - A collection of self proclaimed 'Funk
Tacticians' specialising in Hi-Tech Grooves. Having already clocked up
releases already on their own label, Finest Blend Recordings, and with
further funk due to drop on Digital Soul Records this year, this PA is a
unique opportunity to see two of their senior tacticians, Kenny Black and
Simon J Hartley, rocking the 24 track. The fact that half of the duo is none
other than the highly revered, but criminally under-acclaimed Wildplanet
(aka Simon Hartley), best known for his killer albums on both Warp records
and the outstanding 'Transmitter' LP on 430 West, makes the prospect of this
show even more exciting as his solo shows as Wildplanet are legendary. We
don't know exactly what to expect other than that it's going to rock the
floor, but don't be surprised to hear some WildPlanet classics along with a
bunch of new material from the Concrete Soul crew's various incarnations!
PLEASE NOTE: As stated above, this party will operate on an advance entry
basis with pre-paid entry being available by phone or email from the Outlet
or Digital Soul camps - There is limited capacity of 160 people, no
guaranteed entry on the night and THIS EVENT WILL SELL OUT, so to avoid
disappointment, please get your ticket orders to us as quickly as possible!
...We sincerely hope too see ya there!
Peace.
