crystal distortion

recorded at la maison de la creation, brussels,jan 2008, the group are called Back To Normal - the following sessions were nearly lost due to hard disk crashes, but survived miraculously in capable hands elsewhere: let that be a lesson to you ALL; make sure there's a backup somewhere away from your own meddling hands to avoid life crushing disapointments through data loss....

Weekends from hell - the 11k hi club

again, not supposed to do this , may be down again by monday, how much trouble can i get in?

Sket - chee

well i'll say one thing about all this, over the years i've definitely played and recorded some of my best off the cuff party jams right here in czech republic, and this one is no exception.racing the clock ( sooo much traffic on the roads here these days), and against all odds - 69db and I set all our stuff up in front of a kicking 45kw eaw rig in a limited but cosy space a few metres away only to find the sound guy hadn't rigged up any DI boxes AND was using SPEAKER CABLES instead of mic ones, so had to relocate behind the sound system. Still, the monitors were pretty damn fat which more than made up for the initial balls up, and as this was a ninja in and out mission, we had the privilege of checking this set out in the car zipping along an empty pre dawn highway back to base.
anyway, lush as ye like 150bpm psychedelic techno, none of this trying to keep up with the latest trends bollocks - oh awlroight den , dere's a bit of a wobble ere n there but OI, leave it out tosh, etc etc etc - sticking to wot ahm good at anyhow. enjoy. do let us know if i got the levels right though, i tried some new rms normalize to allow headroom technique before whacking the shit out of it with a limiter or five after extensive forum browsing in those lonely bits post rave where every other cunt in the room is crashed out and snoring away YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, and i'm still wired like fuck, ESPECIALLY AFTER A SET LIKE THIS! anyway, youz lot can have this one, call it a pre xmas prezzie, i'll probably rinse it a few more gigs before starting all over again during our xmas new year session me n seb plan to have with dr walker, and its not like i can sell it to any cunt unless its in the flesh and at a rave is it! Right. nuff said. till next time, byeeeeeeeee.....


must try and blag someone to sponsor me a few more hours capacity on here, anyone interested?

a rare snippet of doing the opposite. in a converted church crypt, was supposed to be with electric kettle but the poor sod's computer went down ( the soundcheck was wicked tho, we can SOOO play together, can't wait for next time - any bookers????) anyway, had to face the wall in a breakcore party, and it came out well different- found out finally who the labrat is!!! enjoy

needs an ending. anyone feel like taking it on?

Its a creeper

recorded at l'embobineuse , marseille, on the 21/10/10 at the start of the full moon cycle, this recording is the 1st encounter between simon carter and jason leach, after many years of being aware of each other's music. This represents the best hour or so of what was initially the longest soundcheck of all time. Its 100 percent off the cuff ( apart from the crude editing) and the voices were dubbed on later to enable this show to be broadcast on the "pitchless" show , www.illfm.net , 27/10/10. seriously WRONG tekno going on here, enjoy!!!!

back in the heady summer of 2003, when the vineyards were almost ablaze under the relentless mediterranean heatwave, and water features the world over became heaving pits of sunburnt humans, we decided to drop the beat down a little, here's a sort of dubstep/break hybrid, improvised off the cuff whilst most of yer modern 'dubstep' producers were still eating cereal in front of saturday morning cartoons!!

ok first off, sorry about the ropey ending, i was in the mix for the last few mins with jeff23 and didn't have his audio feed on the recording. anyway, sounds pretty frikkin fat and clear n multi dimensional to me here at the ratlab, but do try and put it on some decent speakers if you can as there's lots of bassline. thanks to all of you who made it down there on the night, and hope to kick it on dry land in april 2013 back in da UK.
