i had this faxed over from brighton, so i transcribed it for you: (need i have bothered?) 8.15 Consume this guy knows the deal! abrasive, experimental + no rules. tracks featured included: vomit lunch, patric c and some new trash recordings. it worked well, building up the noise on decks and cd through a fuzz pedal. layered up to the full extent, great start, full respect. 9.00 speedranch ^ jansky noise speedy introduced himself & jansky with flexovit on bloodfist, mutating + corrupting the white noise with a fury of crossfading/scratching. this transformed beatwise into DJ6666 and was subtley smeared all over with merzbow mayhem by jansky. this led into a bit of 'give up' on ambush - classic - ripped up by jansky again, slicing it with a scratch up of Ground Zero. Speedy then went apeshit (spilled his beer or something) and his backspinning of Scud's 'back in the charts' left the resident punks mesmerized. a collage of bjork and dan hekate followed, and suffered the same technological abuse. Ill rekkids were there, getting it on. and matt(soon to be wed)wand was seen strutting, wide eyed and slavering. the set ended with piklz beatz, moon landing tapes and a bit of plotkin spliced in for luck. 10.05 Matt Wand matt- famed for his pioneering work at the bleeding edge of 7" technology, renowned for collage of rabbit and deer, and who also does a bit for stock hausen & walkman- was up next. DJing is not his forte: badly cued Stranglers 'Something better change', tunes played at the wrong pitch, and beat mixing all over the shop. he flows with a sense of dubious hysteria. As he back spinned Fad Gadget into Sigue Sigue Sputnik, we realised that, for an organised man, matt will never showcase on '1 in the Jungle'. thank you, and goodnight.
