04/09/2008 flechedor archives des soirées
PartagerPour sa rentrée la Flèche d'Or prépare un Festival ! Pendant l'été, des invitations ont été lancées pour programmer une des soirées de la rentrée.
On y retrouvera des concerts, des djs sets, des talents confirmés et des découvertes musicales !
De quoi dynamiter une nouvelle fois l'ancienne gare de la rue de Bagnolet.
Résidence mensuelle de Cosmo Vitelli, I'm a cliché accueille ses amis de DC Recordings, l'un des labels les plus singuliers d'Angleterre, où bon goût, curiosité et intransigeance ont toujours fait bon ménage, comme l'atteste ses artistes les plus renommés, qu'il s'agisse de Depht Charge, The Emperor Machine ou Paded Cell. Tenez vous prêts pour le Groove narcotique de DC !
Dj : Richard Sen from Padded Cell (DC Recordings / UK) psychédélique / disco house / post-punk.
Richard Sen and Neil Beatnik are not normal people. Having won notoriety as a Bronx Dog (Heavenly) and a Dirty Beatnik (Wall of Sound) respectively, Padded Cell came about in 2002, partly as a response to the conservatism of early millennium dance music but also to act as a conduit through which they could conduct and realize their most outlandish ideas. With a sound that draws from sources as diverse as Goblin, The Velvet Underground, Arthur Russell, Prince, Carl Craig and label boss J Saul Kane, analogue fetishism and creeping psychosis are key themes, as is a need to create something that is both honest and unique. It is their intent to fashion a sound that is soulful and emotional, yet also dark and narcotic; something that can be understood simultaneously by the head and the heart, getting under the skin in different ways. A shared history as club deejays and producers means that even the most mind bending elements of their sound are conducted through dance floor focused channels; disco breaks and rolling percussion combining with menacing synth work outs, electro sensibilities and live instrumentation to create an unholy brew that has been described variously as "dark disco", "goth disco rock", and perhaps most tellingly of all, "devils disco". The Padded Cell inhabit a hinterland, drawing the listener into shadows with whispers and opaque promises, follow your ears and you'll find yourself trapped within.
Dj : James Dyer from Stromba (DC Recordings / Fat Cat Records / UK) psychédélique / dub / funk.
Stromba is the work of producers James Dyer and Tom Tyler, along with regular contributor, bassist / guitarist James McKechan. In 2005, after 4 years of sporadic writing and a prolonged silence, Stromba finally re-emerge with their debut LP "Tales From The Sitting Room", set for release in the early part of 2005. Their sound and line up has expanded, shifting away from the sample base of their previous work, mixing more live elements with home studio technique. Guest musicians were gradually introduced, slowly bringing a new dimension to the project. Styles lurched from desert jazz to acoustic folk pickings, ideas and recordings travelled between various locales until finally meshed within a haze of echo chamber and cheap plonk. The 12 "Giddy Up", is a taster of the varied sounds to be found on the album, featuring spacious dub and afro disco workouts, showcasing the talents of drummer / percussionist Adrian Meehan (Geezers Of Nazareth) and trumpet / melodica player Duncan Mackay (British Meat Scene / Primal Scream). Other contributors to the album include the Isle of Wight's multi instrumentalist cosmic warrior Max Brennan, saxophonist James Nye, violinist Teowa Vuong and trombonist Nichol Thomson. James Dyer is the highly respected manager of London based label DC recordings.
Dj : Cosmo Vitelli (I'm a Cliché / FR)
Il monte son propre label : I'm a Cliché en 2005 où il fait office de dénicheur de talents en sortant des maxis de Simian Mobile Disco, Yuksek, Aysam ou encore Tacteel. Il surprend son monde en 2006 en sortant son maxi Delayer remixé par Quiet Village, puis son nouveau projet musical, Bot'Ox, qu'il partage avec Julien Briffaz, la moitié de [T]ékël. Parallèlement, il se produit partout en Europe, Japon, Russie en tant que dj et a une floppée de remixes à son actif : Daft Punk, Cassius, Benjamin Diamond, The Film, Scratch Massive, et dernièrement Radio Slave (Screaming Hands sur Rekids). N'hesitez pas à ecouter son mix pour la radio New Yorkaise BeatsInSpace.net, c'est un chef d'oeuvre et il serait dommage de passer à côté.
