> Heheh. Part of it may be me being uninformed. Now i know Funksterong is= =20 >playing TWO shows in NY... And, i guess Sonic SOUL's Cloudwatch events are= =20 >much more "ambient" then "IDM", but i have not heard anything that sounds= =20 >quite so cool to me in the NY area... Just to blow the Sonic Soul trumpet a little.. Our CloudWatch events actually feature a wide-range of 'leftfield' sounds, hence the line "a freeform gathering." As somebody noted, this past weekend we hosted CloudWatch as part of Ultraworld's massive Starscape '99 festival. Playing all-night, under the stars, on a pier 200ft out into the Chesapeake Bay was quite an experience. Our featured guests were DJ E.A.S.E. of Nightmares on Wax, and Byzar and Badawi from Asphodel. Hardly ambient.=20 In the past year CloudWatch has played host to Phoenecia, Jeswa, Takeshi, Metic, Tom Middleton of Global Communication, Pete Lawrence of The Big Chill, and Tim 'Love' Lee amongst others, and we've also hosted other one-off events featuring Mixmaster Morris, Spacetime Continuum, Amon Tobin, Luke Vibert, Tricky, Andrea Parker, Fantastic Plastic Machine, and Andy Smith of Portishead.=20 (for a complete list see: http://sonicsoul.com/theguests.htm) Incidentally, the next volume of our CloudWatch CD compilation - A Soundtrack to a Freeform Gathering V2 should be available in July/August and features many exclusive tracks from artists who have performed at past CloudWatch events. This time around its Takeshi Muto, Thievery Corporation, DJ Olive, Q-Burns Abstract Message, DJ Wally, and Electro Organic Sound System amongst others. We're also working on adding live sets by Nobukazu Takemura and Spacetime Continuum to the July 22nd Funkst=F6rung show. Hope thats idm enough for= you. :) amp > fluid Sonic Soul Productions www.sonicsoul.com
