the summer 2002 braindance tour of usa! featuring: bogdan raczynski, cylob, dmx krew and ovuca! Thursday 5/23 2002 @ 9:00PM FUN New York, NY OK Quoth you win, here's a full review. Alright, we arrived and I somehow got passed the bouncers with a fake ID that says I'm 20 (the entry was 21), I have no idea what happened, but we were in. Cylob was up DJing some acid type shit, noone was really dancing, I went and got a beer. Cylob started dropping some familiar tunes, (AFX - Flow Coma RMX), (Cylob - Diof 97) everybody cheered... Then, it turned out this tall dude with really long hair I had been dancing next to was DMX Krew, he was dancing mad 80's rave style, it was cool, and then I figured out why. His whole set was this like half-IDM half-80's electro pop shit, it was AWESOME. I've been trying to figure out what the tracks he played were. And if that weren't hot enough, halfway through one of his tracks he took out a mic and started rapping, but he had all kinds of live effects on the mic, and he was dancing around in the booth and it was fucking awesome. Then the set stopped everyone started going "D-M-X! D-M-X!" and he put on one last track, which was, of course, The Glass Room, I was ecstatic (cuz it was the only track I really knew), but I really didn't expect him to rap it. What was soo awesome was that he played an instrumental of The Glass Room and rapped all the lyrics, but he had totally different effects on his mic than in the original song, and the one he did was so much cooler than the original. Everyone went nuts. He stepped down. Ovuca came up, ovuca basically said, "who's ready for some ASTROBOTNIA?!" then he hid low behind the podium and just played a cut up version of all three astrobotnias. The music was amazing, but the way he just hid behind podium without moving or anything made the whole performance less interactive, less people were dancing. It was basically like listening to a recording of Astrobotnia, which wasn't so bad, cuz Astrobotnia rules. Afte |

r the shortest set, (like 25 minutes) Ovuca left the stage. Then Bogdan came up. Theres absolutely no way to describe this set. This was the craziest drill and bassiest most fucking insane thing I've ever heard live or not. He dropped the Tune from this game for NES called the Adventures of Lolo, I don't know if anyone besides me recognized it, then it sort of turned into drum and bass, and got faster and faster people were just like bouncing up and down trying as hard as they could to keep up with it. The second the music would stop somebody would shout "BOGDAN!!!!!" or "FUCKING A!!!" He played a bunch of shit from Samurai Math Beats and a couple tracks from myloveilove. I wasn't (until last night) that big a fan of Bogdan so I didn't recognize alot of it. The most amazing thing, was Bogdan's dancing. He would like twitch to every single little snare in his music, he would sing all the japanese lyrics and shake his shoulders to every single bass when it got fast enough he would like cover his ears close his eyes and shake his head back and forth and scream, (this is the one part I really wanted my camera). It made everyone as into it as he was. My friend noah (the one who saw AFX live at ATP UCLA) started praying to the podium. Bogdan stopped, people basically wouldn't stop cheering, everyone thought he would do an encore but he kinda just walked off with a little wave. Cylob came up again, about 1/4 of the people left (very foolishly), as this was one of the hottest parts of the show. Cylob dropped every hot tune I could think of. He cut my Red Hot Car and I cleared a circle (now there was enough room to) to breakdance in the breakdown of the track, it was dope. Cylob also played (not in this order): Aphex Twin - Meltphace 6 Aphex Twin - Start As You Mean To Go On Squarepusher - Untitled (WAP155) Chaos A.D. - Psultan Cylob - Cut the Midrange Drop the Bass Cylob - Rewind Cylob - What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor Some other Global Goon, D'Arcangelo, and to |

ns more that I can't remember. I did some more breaking, Shook Bogdan's hand and told him his set kicks ass. We went to DMX Krew and asked him if he's got more stuff coming out, he said "Loads" in such a heavy british accent it was hard to not laugh. "Lowds More"...hahah. anyway. I was going to ask Ovuca if he wrote the Astrobotnia tracks he was playing but he was passed out on the chill-out couch of the club. I think he might have been sick that's why his set was so short and uninvolved. At 4:00 the show stoped, I went over and talked to Cylob for a bit. He's a fat jolly bastard, really nice guy. We walked out, Cylob, DMX Krew, and some other dude right behind us. We had called a cab and they were standing on the corner trying to get a yellow cab. I would have offered them a ride but there were three of us and three of them and we wouldn't have fit. We waved bye (I was thinking about yelling "SUCKERS" as we drove off, but they were such nice guys). When I got home I started the thread I met Cylob..., at which point I promptly passed out. And that was that Random factoid (since I hve no pictures): Cylob was rocking a Rephlex T-Shirt Bogdan was wearing this shirt that said "Sleep Tiger" and had a cartoon tiger head on it. DMX Krew was wearing an old skool New Balance t-shirt and Ovuca had a tight zip up brown hoodie. |
