omg just woke up from the show, fucking awesome. first cassetteboy played, who were hillarious. in case you dont know, their music is mainly sample based, they just take clips of anything and everything you can imagine and rearrange them into hillarious songs. the two guys from the band were jumping around in bush masks for the majority of the time, hitting people and eachother with those blow-up hammers and baseball bats. at one point the "male" bush (the other was wearing a dress) jumped into the crowd and started hanging with all of us. at the end of the set, the crowd was ready for something wild, and we got it. after a little interlude set by house dj johnny j, came kenny muhammed the human orchestra. now, i had no idea what this guy did, but i soon found out. he is one of the illest beatboxes i have ever seen. not only did he get the standard drum sounds from his vocal chords, he also has some wild shit that sounded exactly like a distorted 909 kick. truly impressive stuff. he knew exactly how to get the crowd riled up, telling us that our energy was reflected and he was returning it back to us. great set, and he was even cheered for a little encore. then came another short interlude set, and finally, after some very intense anticipation, we saw a bearded figure emerge from back stage. he set up behind his equipment (which had been on stage the entire time) and opened his laptop. the first song he played i did not recognize. it was a very cool and fast track similar to a mix of go plastic and uv (more meloncholy melody, but a much more digital sound to the drums). next was an ambient track that consisted of two synth tracks, one low and the other lower. the bass for this was truly intense, i literally felt like i was going to vomit during this set (but i didnt, thank god). after this was venus no. 7, which was actually one of my least fave tracks from the whole uv package release, but in a live environment it was great fun. after, tom picked up his bass for the first time and rocked another... |

...go plastic/uv mix type song which i did not recognize, but of course this tmie with his bass playing as well. tom then switched from his 4 string bass (which he had been playing) to his six string and played steinbolt with about 5 minutes of more bass twiddling added on to the end. it truly is mind blowing to see the man play bass. of course, ive recognized his talent from all his cds, but actually seeing it is a whole other beast. the accuracy and simplicity with which he plays is absolutely mind blowing. once the extension of setinbolt was other came the second most intense part of the evening: a very long, extended version of an arched pathway. the crowd just went wild for this. at one point tom said to us "the louder you yell, the faster we go!" or something along those lines. this track really got everyone in the crowd dancing/convulsing to one of the most maddening tracks on uv. at the end of the song, tom took one of his water bottles and sprayed the water over the crowd, which apparently got water on his laptop as well, so he ended the set (i believe this was the time he was planing on anyways) and went back behind stage. the crowd basically forced him to come back out, at one point it really seemed like he wouldnt go on for an encore; it took him around 10 minutes to come back out and announce "let's see how bill gate's machine work splashed with water. people from the crowd were cheering for many songs (i even heard one guy call out for "big red car" :P). he put on his 4-string bass, and played one of the most addicting grooves ever!: the bass groove from come on my selector. this was only a tease however, as he stopped and started played the bass groove and drum tracks many times before actually jumping into the song, but when he did, it was awesome! i really do think everyone appreciated hearing one of his most crowd friendly tracks. by the end, i was completely soaked in sweat and in awe of such an amazing show. and as im reaching the character limit, ill end this review here. |

sounds delicious. with any luck i get to see that on tuesday. thanks for writing the review. |

op: no prob and btw ill have a few pics up as soon as i finish this roll and whatnot. the pics of tom will be crap tho, because it was halfway impossible to get a clear shot of him, due to being behind a little wall of equipment for nearly the whole show. but the cassetteboy pics should be a riot. |

Truely amazing show. I got right up front on the left and could see everything he was up to. Only problem were the fucked up people behind us who wanted to dance but more like moshing. Pushing and pumping people. But whatever it was so much fun. When he picked up his laptop and a good deal of water poured out I thought the set would be over. But he managed with only one laptop working. Save the cows! |

i was there too. i started getting sick that day, so i couldnt enjoy the show as much as i would have liked to, but it was great seeing the man himself regardless. i was a little disappointed he didnt really play much from ultravisitor though. a girl near where i was sitting went into epileptic fits from all the stobe lights at one point. that was kinda scary. |

kenny mohammed is pale immitation of rahzel, he rips off his kraftwerk 'numbers' and the rest of his scratching techniques. I thought he was cheese times 10 especially with his 'positive way of thought bringing humanity to the next level' bollocks. Squarepusher was good though! |

Cassetteboy was fucking gay. the last thing i want to see at one of these shows is some half ass punk rock political message. they went for the cheap crude laugh every chance they could and that shit got so old so fast. i wanted to throw stuff. this is the bad end of British comedy. BUT, Kenny oh my god - mind blowingly cool! then energy alone that it took to do a beatbox set that long is just hard to imagine |
