A P L A N E T =B5 N I G H T Manchester / Worcester / Limehouse / Coventry A Planet =B5 Night @ ScumDancing ~ Friday 16th July 1999 Z I Q 0 1 5 A PLANET =B5 NIGHT featuring CAPITOL K On Friday the 16th of July the ScumDancing organization presents a rare an= d spectacular evening devoted to the mavericks and contemporary~uniques who operate from within forward-thinking independent label, Planet =B5. Such a comprehensive gathering of the =B5 clan is an infrequent one and tonight t= hey travel from far and wide to celebrate the release of the debut album from Capitol K -- and also their debut live performance. FREE 7" SINGLE This is also the First National congree of Planet =B5 and as such carries = the catalogue number ZIQ 015 which covers not only the event itself but a numbered / exclusive / limited edition seven inch single which will be giv= en away free to the first hundred =B5 partisans through the door on the eveni= ng. This will feature otherwise unavailable material from Capitol K ("Postcard= ") and Jega ("Funky Track"). Early arrival is therefore recommended. CAPITOL K ~ LIVE! "Sounds of the Empire", the strange new album from Kristian Craig Robinson (aka Capitol K / Malta, Borneo, Limehouse), is currently gaining a reputation within many circles as one of the most inventive albums to have emerged so far this year. And rightly so. By mixing elements of Rock (live drums and guitars, but without the powerchords or clich=E9d funky-drummer beats), and Electronics (sequencers, samples and effects; but no austerity-noodling), Capitol K's music may well defy precise categorizatio= n but their fiercely up-beat / down-beat, kaleidoscopic / melodic barrage al= so makes you want to dance. A set consisting of mostly album material (revise= d, on-the-spot) along with a clutch of embryonic aural assaults can be expected, whilst the visual ambience promises to be "patterns, picture boo= k" and "postcard". Capitol K & co. are due onstage near the eleven o'clock mark. DJs ~ =B5-ZIQ, JEGA & HORSE OPERA DJ-ing head-to-head on the evening will be Planet =B5 generalissimo Mike Paradinas (aka =B5-Ziq, Tusken Raiders, Jake Slazenger... / Worcester) and Dylan Nathan (aka Jega / Manchester; also Skam, McR). Mike P is on the ver= ge of releasing a corking new =B5-Ziq album through a label which he doesn't = yet own (Virgin) whilst Dylan Jega prepares for the follow-up to his criticall= y accliamed "Spectrum" with a second album on Planet =B5 sometime this autum= n. Tonight the two of them square-up in a double-headed entanglement of complexity-breaks, electro-approximations and gridlock minutiae-programmin= g. They might actually get around to playing some records too. During the course of the evening label kamerad and real-life computer hacker Horse Opera (Coventry: so good they named it once) makes a DJ appearance armed with an expanded cache of mini-discs containing who knows what. Yet more sharp-edge disc-spinning is provided by Slang and Spiky Records' Bowling Green which completes an evening of likeminded unorthodoxy.
