ok so i went in! : this was my first rephlex night, and upon going in to buy tickets, you could hear fuzzy vibrations which meant one thing, aphex was on the decks! i went down into the club (its kinda underground, literally) and sure enough, on the decks was the man himself aphex. He seemed exactly how i had imagined, wearing simple tracksuit bottoms and a cheap tshirt, messing around with the mixer.... i noticed he also had a *very* small Viao laptop running, and a very small mixer alongside the big mixer. I tried to look to see what programs he was runnning, but he had it tilted into the corner! after a load of fucked up granular sounds, a mental beat started up, followed by a solid kick drum sound, and the whole place was on fire. he continued with this for 45mins, it was FUCKING IMMENSE. ive read a lot of stuff about aphex etc, but the stuff he was playing really did seem way ahead of its time, it was the most fucked up sounds backed up with a mental rhythm that was very dancable to! aphex really is the fucking daddy~! this set was amazing! words cannot do justice. People were going mad filming aphex and taking photos, and at one point aphex clearly blinked for a few seconds due to the bright flash of a camera. He seemed in a good mood though. after he had finished, he signalled a thumbs up to bug, who was on the other side of the room with his ragga setup. Bug started playing, and everyone started dancing around, apart from the people around aphex (myself included) who stared at him packing his equipment up! some guy kept taking photos, and was told by security to stop it. as the bug was playing, aphex sat on the floor, and on the desk where the turntables where. people were chatting to him openly, he was playing along with it. Some guy gave him a demo on minidisc, which aphex carefully put into his bag. Shit, i knew i should have bought mine along!!! oh well. I didnt talk to aphex i was too scared. i did talk to a lanky guy who was wearing a 'rephlex' tshirt. he smiled at me, i |

... i smiled back and stupidly said "do u work for braindance", he looked confused and said "whats that supposed to mean!?". I corrected myself saying rephlex, and he told me he was an artist on rephlex, ed dmx. I quickly tried to remmeber a ed dmx tune, and said to him "denki no merodie", at which his face lit up and he grinned! vibert came on and played some cheese, thats wen i left. conclusion : it rocked!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ALSO: i looked at his decks to see the record he had been playing that had really fucked up sounds, it was a yellow label vinyl by 'hecker' some of u guys must have seen me, i was the only south asian (brown skinned!) person in the club! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hecker is the artist on mego label from vienna. that's probably the newest hecker 12" i think it's got the yellow label. but check first mego site. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
awesome! thanks for the review. i'll have to check out hecker, i've been hearing good things. too bad you didn't stick around for luke, though a lot of people don't share his cheeky sense of humor (and thus wouldn't enjoy his "cheese" sets). he's great tho. |
||||||||
|
|

oh man that sounded like a fucking good night... /is envious do tell what the new smojphace stuff sounded like... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about warrior queen????? did vibert play his new drum and bass was it a good venue/soundsystem i think its a bit shit the way people cum all over aphex its like he's kylie monogue dont get me wrong though, his music is good |

ehheheh WOW ...... i liked the IMMENSE comment. sounds like a blast.....and i'm glad you he was nice about taking a disc from a fan. thats REALLY decent of him. i knew he had a nice bone in that body of his.........ehehheh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds like a great night! but why o why did you leave just as luke vibert started? he is one of THE best djs around! i have seen him quite a few times and he always rocks, mixing funk, hip-hop and mental jungle! i reacon you missed a blinder there! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
viber t plasy some mwean jungle when he gets going . What about Johnny Jenksinon?????????? |
||||||||
|
|

|

||||||||
|
|

aphex live is something every music lover should see!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw about 15mins of vibert, and it was just a bit kinda cheesy and shit compared to what had gone before, i think it was pretty clear to people the best had already gone... sounds harsh, sorry vibert!! but not really my cup of tea. his scratching was good though! it wasnt really clear what the smojphace tracks were, there was no clear 'ragga/techno' tune that he played... 'johnny jennkison' wasnt at this one... is he really pushers brother? i thought ceephax acid crew was.... i also met a photographer from 'music' magazine, so loof out for a review of the night in that mag, he seemed like a cool guy, how do u post pics on here, only one of my pics turned out ok on the night due to lack of flash! |

your review of the show sounds as if you spent all night gazing dreamily into aphex's eyes? are you gay? vibert played jungle stuff as well later it was really good - maybe it';s his new tracks - the highlight was the bug - with mc ras b - it was very heavy lots of dub effects and overlaod - then half way through warrior queen - this litttle jamaican mc who sings very dirty lyrics stepped up to the mic and got the crowd really going for a couple of songs . the whole thing was very very lound and very bassy - the taps on the spirit bottles were revolving on their own ! it was intensde and aphex's set of electroacoustic/noise/ambience business showed the systen off to it's fullest extent creating a maelstrom of bass and noise until half way through he dropped in some beats. Luke vibert slowed things down and brought the intenstity down after the bug with some old school electro into jungleand back again into some wicked disco - great night |

best review i read in ages, you guys. Sweet stuff indeed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think one of the reasons rdj is not releasing new stuff (as much as we would want him to), because this live performances (djing) take lot of his time...i mean to find all that music and to play it in the same set or to mix different tunes the way he does...its whether he's a genius or he spends 90% of his time preparing for this gigs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's releasing a new record pretty soon. he wsn't djing last night he was doing live/mixed stuff. also i think he's got alot of records or mp3s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1.hmm, i wish that new one had more than 3 tracks... 2.even better! (im sure this takes even more of his time) 3.i wish he'd release those :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a single which means it can only bbe a certain length and is cheaper - have you heard it ? i haven't maybe it's great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
~~~~grinningcat ~~~~~~~~ souldns like you had a hellishtime, your so luck y that you were able to obtain such an experience !! /////////astrid-gil-botn//////// yeah but a single w/10-12 remixes 50% of the time costs the same as a single w/2 songs, 3 song cd single just isnt fair im telln ya |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i cant weit to hear it...so far i loved everything he released...that's why im never satisfied with the amount of stuff he's releasing...i wish there was more-but this is pretty unrealistic to expect...i also wish he would be releasing the stuff he's playing on his gigs - this is even more unrealistic to expect :) i dont really care about the price, cos it worths it no matter how expensive it is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really hate that 3 track limit, import CD singles used to be like 70 mins long. The limit only started in like 98 or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is the ep/single limited in time as well? and that is one weird limitation! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
astrid-gil-botn, no im not gay i did get a boner when i saw aphex though... no not really. it was just a bit weird seeing him standing 1m away from me, thats all, like the guy is a legend and all, and there he was standing there grinning like a come to daddy nice to see people liked my review :-) it WAS a mental night. it seemed half the people there were in someway affiliated with rephlex, i was in the toilets and these 2 guys were talking about a private party in bethnal green, where 'tom, ed, rich and luke' will be going to or something. it was all a bit surreal ya know. |
||||||||

i asked richard who johniie jenkinson is, cause somebody reached me a flyer from the seed party. he said its toms second brother. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im still awake (35th hour now)and arrived in germany surreal describes it best, especially the familiar atmosphere. everybodys been very kind and though it had been a very "advertised" party it looked like everybody just met there, knowing each other. they just made it for themselves. its been weird to see richard rightaway, first i thought he was soundchecking... maybe he was for a minute. i loved the bugs set and the jungle later on made me go crazy! the 2 songs before 54cymru beats got played reminded me of afx, i thought it might have been smojphace at that moment, but i dont know anything by now anymore. my memory lacks and i couldnt see who was playing when, cause i danced not in front of the corner where the mixers and the laptop stood... im gonna recap some more tomorrow if i still remember anything. i still know some funny anecdotes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i remember you grinningcat. im gonna remember this whole night as one of the best so far... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
what do u look like ijonspeches?? tell me, coz i made the mistake of going up to a foreign (italtian) guy with a backpack, thinking it might be u from germany! lol |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

funny, well the avatar is me, but i think i am about your size and had a orange t-shirt and green trousers with many pockets. i remember some guy from italy with locks, i met him in the pub round the corner just before i got in. i dont know why i talked to him in the first place but u told him about the gig. he said he couldnt be coming because he needs to dj... next thing i remember was him passing a pure-looking j to richard :P |

have you been to fabio and grooverirder after the show? i think it ended after 2 o clock, right? i ve been so desperately seeking for a place to stay, but i havent asked everybody. when the last 20 people were there i started to ask them all, but everybody had work on the next day. i ve been pretty stupid not to ask some of em if they could just throw me out when they wake up and so i could at least have slept some hours... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so 36 hrs is enough right now. im gonna get some sleep, finally :P i think i hallucinated when i stayed at the liverpool station over night. i saw a fox runnning behind the corner and back and usually foxes arent expected in central london, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but quite often remixes are crappy anyway eh? especially if there are loads |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no you can see foxes in london quite alot - the urban fox - I've seen the in london bridge, camberwell, hackney and finsbury park - it's a great reminder that however much we try we're still trying to build over something wild |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"urban-fox" thats really nice, its going to be one of these odd memories then, good-night and may we meet someday enjoy some more of londons wild-style. *puts on personal selection of ambient tracks by rdj* np quino-phec |

I was there! Real good night. Aphex - heavy techno stuff with loads of aphects, a bit of new ambience thrown in places near the end... and lots of noise. Very intense and danceable. The Bug & Ras Bogle were well heavy, very loud PA, real dancehall electro stuff. Vibert played a sweet funk / jungle set. Good to see all this in a small venue with a decent soundsystem. ijonspeches - whoaa sounds like you had a looong (but good) night!!! |

u slept at liverpool st! u nutter! no i didnt go to faibo afterwards, i was too in awe of what id jus heard n seen, nothing else cud compare really. ok ill stop wanking now! i dont remember seeing u, i prob did though! anyone know about this magazine called 'music' that is in the uk? coz i met the guy who was there to review it, and he said the review shud be in there shortly.... so where can i get it from?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
U haven't seen it? Its called Muzik and it's on the shelves next to Mixmag and stuff. Free CD on the cover. It's the best music mag I reckon. Those Muzik guys were in front of me in the que! |

i didnt sleep, but stayed there, waiting for the shops to open. i bought some chips, when the most beautyful woman i saw in england walked right in and gave me strange, curious looks, but sat down somewhere else. later i saw her at the station surfing the net on a telephone cell. so i talked to her and sat down on a bench, on which she later joined me and we had a nice conversation til her train arrived. many many travellers at liverpool... but no sleep i should have asked some more people including you, grinningcat, rightaway if anyone would let me stay with him, cause its been very tough being all alone after meeting all you nice fellas. |

I notice all your "hearts" are lit up on your avatar now... :) |

|
:P hearts are lit, but im a bit stuggling though, i miss some sides of london. id like to be at the seed party tonight... the trip was a good thing, im gonna do it again, but then i would stay longer, find out about some more parties in advance and secure me a sleeping place for free. 30 pounds is too much a night to stay... 13 p for the train (one-way) from stansted is also incredible... i met a woman on the street while i ve been asking for a bagel station, she said i could sleep in her bed for 20 pounds, she would take the couch then. i reckon she was a prostitute though she didnt look like one but there also was this guy with a dog (could have been the sugar daddy). they guaranteed me i wouldnt get robbed. i passed by. |

i feel your pain! i've had many a savage night waiting at liverpool street after raves! it doesnt get any easier!! luckily most that i've been to finished at 5-6am, which doesnt help the no-sleep factor, but at least you arent bored waiting around! |

I think the track Vibert played after 54 Cymru Beats was new AFX. In any case, all the jungle/hardcore he played was awesome. If anyone knows tracknames, please post. My left ear is still ringing! |
