DOOR TAX £6 FACEBOOK EVENT.. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=163342250416346 ROBERT OWENS: Chicago's vocalist Robert Owens started out in Fingers Inc, Larry Heard's project that released the first full-length album of Chicago house music, Another Side (1987), with Never No More Lonely, besides the influential singles All Over (1986) and the monumental Can You Feel It (1988).His solo career progressed from the ghostly blues of I'm Strong (1987) to the sensual ethereal house of Tears (1989). The EP Rhythms in Me (Island, 1990), with Changes, almost a cubistic funk remix of David Bowie's song, and Visions, a gritty shout over disorienting Caribbean-inspired polyrhythms. demonstrated a creative vision that extended well beyond the dance club. The locomotive I'll Be Your Friend (1991) was both dreamy and playful, while Was I Here Before (1993) was a passionate soul cry over thumping syncopation. Owens mastered the art of juxtaposition and contradiction while refining an elegant seamless delivery. He became a leading voice of deep house with the EP The Statement (1994), containing the soft fragile Tell Me, the liquid ballad My Heart Is Your Home and especially the jazzy Caribbean trancey After The Rain, as well as with the singles All Night Long (1994), a marvel of jazz piano incorporated into the dance format, and the suave soul ballad Darkman (1995). The Journey (1996) fused soul, funk and electronica: the upbeat funk anthem Love Will Find Its Way, the sophisticated paradisiac soul ballad The River, and the lush, orchestral, tropical and psychedelic Best Friend (one of his artistic peaks). He followed it with the pounding, relentless jam Ordinary People (1996), the closest he ever got to Giorgio Moroder, the velvety synths and rapid-fire backbeats of A Thing Called Love (1998), and the industrial ballet Bring Down The Walls (1998), each of them an intricate packet of sound. Love Will Find Its Way (2002) is a career retrospective. Night-Time Stories (Compost, 2008) is basically a series of collaborations with erudite producers yielding painstakingly assembled house music, notably the nine-minute version of the single Merging. The meticulous production of Art (Compost, 2010) is almost baroque, especially the rousing numbers Unique, Rise and Exhale And Breath (the latter two produced by Show-B). The tribal trancey meditation Ancestral History, one of his masterful blending of the ethereal and the corporal (Larry Heard), the neurotic electronica and percussion of Step Inside The Moment (Heard again), one of the most psychological and least musical pieces, and Be Your Own Hero (Heard again), that is basically gospel music for the disco, Cherish Your Love (Ajazz), with its contrast of liquid electronica and jarring bass figures, break all the rules with nonchalance. The quantity of music is overwhelming, although the ballads repeatedly slow down the pace. Among the latter, Art (Heard), boasts the most disorienting vocals and rhythm, creating a mood that is perhaps the quintessential spleen of the era. GAVIN HERLIHY: Gavin Herlihy’s discography reads like a Connect the Dots game for some of underground house and techno’s most important labels. Two EPs on Cocoon, two EPs on Cadenza and tracks and remixes for Get Physical, Buzzin Fly, Leftroom, Supernature and Kindisch are just some of the milestones in his career as a producer so far. Now living in Leeds, the Irish born, one time Londoner and recent Berliner is an established player on the global DJ circuit. A two year stint cutting his teeth as a producer in Berlin notched up gigs at the Panorama Bar, Watergate, Bar 25 and in 2010 his tracks were championed by a diverse array of DJs from Seth Troxler and Dyed Soundorom to Pete Tong. Gavin’s DJ mixes have found homes in a long list of taste-making stations and podcasts including Ibiza Voice, Allez Allez, Berlin’s Electronic Beats Radio, Carl Cox's Global radio show, Kiss 100, Galaxy FM among others. And as remixers go, few producers can count a job as big as remixing the title track for Unkle’s third album as their debut remix. It seems a long way since his acclaimed debut ‘Machine Ate My Homework’ in 2006, now generally considered to be a classic of the 2000s. But his roots in dance music lie much deeper than that. A seven year stint as a dance music journalist gave him a pivotal role in introducing artists like Ricardo Villalobos to the global media stage. Before that his teenage years were spent lost in the experimental rock of bands like Sonic Youth, Rage Against The Machine and Fugazi before uncovering electronic music during an eye opening festival pilgramage to England at the tender age of 14. During this pivotal trip he remembers in particular hearing early drum ’n’ bass on a north London pirate radio station. “It sounded like the future being beamed down the radio waves,” he says. "And I've been chasing it ever since."
I've still got the one sided vinyl of "Machine Ate My Homework" with all his engravings and scratchings on the blank side. First heard it on the Very Very Wrong Indeed Dj Mag cd. Still a good track like.....
Aye Future never fail to impress with bookings, the last event REBELRAVE feat.Jamie Jones,Dyed Soundorom,Russ Yallop and Robert James was a mega success and the vibe was `proper clubbing`. The djs themselves made a point of saying it was the best night they`ve ever been to in Newcastle..... and coming from that lot its quite a compliment. The Future is bright............
The last one was rammed! The first one was a decent turn out too, think it was only the one in July that has struggled numbers wise. Looking forward to the next one with Visionquest.
I was speaking to the lads who run it last weekend and were talking about it then so I assume it definitely is, unless you know something they dont?
as in last saturday aye? I think info that has come about in the past week may change things somewhat
