Steevio is perhaps one of the most influential electronic artists
you’ve never come across. With more than forty years of
knob-twiddling experience, this modular magician boasts
enough cable to bring you to the moon and back. Away from
the blinking racks, Steevio runs music festivals, like
Freerotation, manages record labels and generally paves the
way. Now this pioneer and Firescope are teaming up for a very special EP.
With Acatalepsy, this veteran dives deep into his machines before resurfacing with four tracks of melting organic
techno. “Tarantism” comes to life with drums, percussive textures that prove fertile ground for ever more
intricate patterns while orange blossom keys bloom. From understated chatter, a hive of beats soon forms around
“Cynefin” as dewy notes float on the warmth of a new dawn. The natural world is an integral part of these
compositions, the industrious movement of rhythms, the change and reshaping that comes with growth. Another
presence on the 12” is the musician himself and his own influences. These early inspirations come to the fore in
the hazy hi-hats of “Oxytocin” with its satellite-like bleeps and dreamy basslines that echo both the armchair and
club of sounds of 90s techno. Those bleeps grow ever more distant in the fragile finale of “Intonation.” A melody
precariously perches, thawing like ice, above delicate echoes that ghost behind modular bulges as drums fade.
Acatalepsy encapsulates the ephemeral nature of sound. Through this selection of one-off recordings, through
these live jam sessions, Steevio captures a palpable and primal energy with an expert’s ear. An EP that casts spells
from beginning to end, an EP from a true waveform wizard.

Duvet vous? sep.22

Hello peeps 🙂
I made this track using field recordings from our recent amazing trip to Thailand.
The middle section features the Fajr dawn prayer that we could hear at 5.30am every morning from the nearby mosque, which I recorded out the door to our
apartment. After recording I went back to bed and soon realised I had let a mosquito into the room/net - Oops!
I did attempt to shorten it as it's a little long at 9mins, I'm usually able to chop tracks down a bit once they are sketched out, but this one just is that long. 
The lead that builds gradually from a while in represents the intense heat of the day as it gets later and hotter. The sea at either end is our morning and evening
swim. You get the gist 🙂
I tweaked and mastered the track whilst on the plane home, which is a first for me, and kind of surreal too.
Wear headphones for the best way to experience the track. 
Any feedback, comments or constructive criticism greatly appreciated.
One love xxx

Free parties offer an arena for entertainment which is freed from the surveillance imposed on us by institutional procedures, apparatus, architecture, private security and closed circuit television. It takes place on the margins (sometimes outside the law), in the dark, invisible and uncontrolled. Escaping from surveillance and order, the virtual cyberspace of the warehouse and mobile phone is about interaction, fluidity, chaos and contradiction.

Premiere: Doppel - Blue Mosaic [Open Records]

To coincide with the release of Nail's - Eggs EP we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to do a mix purely of Ornate music releases and given the labels proclivity to weave amongst the four forms of House, Techno, Disco & Electro we thought we best ask the dashing Mr. Shiver a master of this very thing.
And the result as I think you’ll all agree is an extremely delightful trip through the archives with a few future nuggets thrown in for a healthy dose!

TV Cabbage - Party People
tVC philosophy is:
free parties for free people.
tVC support and condone the free party movement worldwide as a means to personal and spiritual enlightenment.
tVC think the Criminal Justice Act is an unjust law and unnecessarily criminalises law abiding party goers.

tVC sound system was formed in 1986 in Whitstable, Kent, UK.
tV Cabbage or tVC are now a louche collective of artists, musicians, producers, hedonists. artists, technicians, promoters, writers and DJ's who all work together and are dedicated to house music free parties as a means of pleasure, fulfilment, a base for networking and an exchange of ideas. Amongst other things in their lives.  
Well that's what we try to do.  

Pre-house the music played was an amalgam of reggae, hip-hop, American and UK underground guitar music as well as old punk and psychedelic. This was played under the tVC moniker at house parties, free festivals as well as various halls and student venues around the Canterbury area.

As house music exploded in the late eighties, crews, or DJ's from crews, such as DiY (Nottingham), Tonka (Brighton) and The Lazy House Crew (Bristol) began to appear on the free festival circuit. This amalgam of traveller and 'raver' lifestyle began to produce hybrids like tVC and Aphrodisiac in Kent. Inspired by the free party ethos of the travellers the parties began to take the form of gatherings once the free festival circuit had been ‘crushed’.

tVC Sound System was born in 1986 in Whitstable, Kent. They were named after the 'Gaye Bikers on Acid tune' "TV Cabbage" from the album "Drill Your Own Hole" released in 1986 on Virgin records. Before the house explosion and the adaption of the Do It Yourself ethos Drill Your Own Hole kinda sounded like the thing to do at the time. So we drilled. The band had a lead singer called Mary. Paul, Nick and Carl, the founding members, thought that was mildly amusing, and, needing a name for the band promotion 'enterprise' that they had just set up, choose tVC. 'We just wanna get bands into Whitstable', snarled Carl.

During these early days they promoted thrash, American underground and UK traveller bands and anyone else they could. Often badly. Playing their favourite music between bands (reggae, hip-hop, guitar based US and UK thrash) they were forced to buy some decks. Learning the promotion game didn't come easy and it seemed like it wouldn't last long. In fact it didn't come easy or last long. Within two years the band promotion stopped.

In between this hectic promotion schedule they did a few house parties for friends. Started a reggae/hip-hop night at the local Labour Club (on a Wednesday) and went to a few free festivals with the decks and a few little speakers. They saw Hawkwind (several times) Subhumans/Culture Shock, The Dub Warriors: the scene was alive and extremely active. It was a time of enlightenment; of exposure to the traveller values of vegetarianism, individualism, egalitarianism, anarchism. They went to Stonehenge in '87 and saw the police break up the celebrations.

Back home squatters took over several houses in the area. They were always up for a party. tVC always had the kit to do it and, naturally, were always up for a party too. If a band wanted to play; great! Just put 'em through the desk.
