Good thawing, I mean morning!
Huge thanks go out to everyone for coming to our Pete Swanson show last week, what a powerful performance; both sinuous and truly visceral! Those same qualities are both going to be echoed at tomorrow's show for Portugal duo TROPA MACACA too. TROPA MACACA enshrine a tribal-digital form of instinctual electronic music that's as infectious as it is adventurous. Joining them on tour is HELM, who released one of our favourite records from last year, "Impossible Symmetry" on Pan. Opening the show at The Sebright Arms we have mesmeric bucolics from THE FRACTAL SKULLS, whilst LONDONEARS will be DJing for us much weird-out jams throughout the night. Really looking forward to it!
Full details appear as if by magic…

TROPA MACACA are the ambient-noise duo of André Abel and Joana da Conceição and have been going strong from their Portugal home base since 2005, whilst glooping out into the world with releases via Qbico and Siltbreeze. The newly released follow up to 2009′s 'Sensação Do Princípio' on Siltbreeze, 'Ectoplasma' finds Tropa Macaca moving to Software Records (the sub-label of Mexican Summer owned by Oneohtrix Point Never’s Dan Lopatin) and was described by Dummy Magazine as “a lesson in pure sound design as potent as SND or Aaron Dilloway, yet filled with an unctuous listenability, a primordial, glowing slime that’s as addictive yet stately as the best in the genre”, which pretty much captures their sublimating electronic trip.

HELM is the solo project of Luke Younger, one half of the London/Berlin noise duo Birds Of Delay, and label boss at Alterstock Records. He has just released “Impossible Symmetry”, his third full length record, on the brilliant Berlin based PAN label. It marks a new chapter in the artists' canon as it's his first to be informed by live performance rather than studio experimentation, incorporating more extensive use of electronic elements and moments of rhythmic dark ambience recalling the outputs from early Coil and Cabaret Voltaire at times.

THE FRACTAL SKULLS is the musical project of 25 year old Buckinghamshire based Chris Smith. Using the basic building blocks of analogue generated loops and minimalist drone, and drawing influences from the classic Krautrock of Cluster and Harmonia, as well as dub pioneers like King Tubby, The Fractal Skulls weave subtly evolving patterns of hypnotic sound to produce kosmische music that transcends the sum of its deceptively simple parts. Debut full length LP, ‘Rayleigh Scattering’, was recently released on Subexotic Records. The album was composed over a two year period during which Chris travelled widely, and the music is steeped in the atmospheres of locations as far afield as Croatia, Paris, and New York City, as well as the bucolic surrounds of the English countryside in which much of the work was laid down.
