The last two I'm pretty sure that last year's US championship took place in fall in New York. Have this year's Nationals already taken place? Details on the world championship will probably appear on DMC's website (http://www.dmcworld.com, as advertised during hip-hop week on MTV a few weeks back), which doesn't seem to get updated regularly. I'm guessing that when the time comes, you'll be able to get advance tickets through either Ticketmaster or Ticketweb, not to mention local shops like Fat Beats. Regarding the new Bogdan Raczynski on Rephlex- I found the first half pretty tedious and uninspired (plus populated by a lot of "I am now talking through a ring modulator" moments), but the panicked vierdstep mayhem of the second half more than makes up for it. On the other hand, perverse, kinky and home-brew do kinda spell out A-F-X in my book... I guess you can call it "that Rephlex touch." Though luckily, it's more like an Aphexian attempt to recast an entire genre in one's own bedroom than a straight derivation thereof. -rob
