Shit Robot/\Riotous Rockers



Saturday April 24th sees 2 International guests land at Punch ..

Headlining the main room is one of the DFA originals - Shit Robot cut his teeth as a DJ in NYC through the 90s and early 2000s alongside the likes of James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and Luke Jenner of The Rapture, curating renowned nights like Plant, which was dubbed the 'coolest and loudest bar in New York City' by Face magazine (10/02). It was at Plant Bar that Marcus and DFA’s James Murphy started their now infamous Shit Robot party, named after Murphy’s crap robot drawing.

Shit Robot productions have been featured on mixes from luminaries such as Radio Slave, Shir I Khan and Rub N Tug's Fabric compilation, while his cut "Simple Things (Work It Out)" is an ace offering of new-school disco that featured in many discerning critics' year end best of lists from '09 and was reworked by Todd Terje and Serge Santiago.

And in The Cave .. Riotous Rockers formed after a chance meeting on the dance floor of Fabric Room One in the summer of 2003. Unbeknown to Pete and Boggy they would both meet again in their home town of Nottingham a few months later to discover they shared a mutual love of all things Electro, Pop, Disco, and Rave.

The DJ partnership was truly formed when they were given the chance to play at Nottingham's most hedonistic night, Liars Club. Mixing up as many styles as they could lay their hands on, they complimented promoter Ricky Haleys inspired bookings (which over the years has seen the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Scissors Sisters, Bloc Party and The Klaxons play long before they became household names). Riotous Rockers soon became a regular fixture at the club.

Tiga Bugged Out Interview


In preparation of the Planet Turbo Tour, Tiga shared his thoughts on the project ...

Tell us about the Planet Turbo Tour. What can people expect?
1. I don’t have to tour alone. I think the audience really wants to see me have a good time up there. There’s nothing sadder in this world than unrequited fun. It can get lonely touring by yourself. You come offstage with the vitamin water sweats, looking for the right lady to rate tracks on a scale of 1 to 10 with. And there’s no one there for you. No one who really understands. Now there will be at least two people who understand.

2. It forces me to evolve as a DJ, which is a very beautiful thing for a crowd to witness. Digital. Analog. And back again? Count on it.
I’m like a shark: if I stop grooving, I’ll die.

3. We all get to hang out together, our loveable gang of huggable li’l misfits. I’m going to try to force everyone to dress like authentic street urchins (newsboy caps, burlap vests), to accentuate that special sense of boyish mischief. Every guest artist can play whatever they like, provided they stay after their sets and dance behind me as I DJ. You want to get paid, you get to the back of the conga line early and often.

4. We will be putting real effort into the production aspect and the visuals. People should expect a full night of magic and smiling and looking and sighing. Post-post-post-everything musical programming. I find that nothing excites the passions like the word “programming.”
I feel I should mention that the initial idea was to tour with the same audience for every show. Unfortunately, we found that we couldn’t ship them as cargo, so we’ll have to see who turns up in each city. I can’t wait!

How long did it take to put the tour together?
In terms of talent, Planet Turbo is a perfect storm. Like that movie where the fisherman invites his wife over for a big fish dinner and there’s a romantic storm outside and he puts on the Hi-Fi and the feeling’s so right and they make love for the remainder of the film. This tour will capture the feeling of that fisherman having his way with you.

What sets this tour apart?
For one thing, it’s the first tour I’ve made a point of constantly referring to as a “game-changer”. I think the main difference is that we are going to go for a full night of music that really fits together, and visuals that represent that. So, to use the ultimate clichĂ©, it’s a journey. One on which I hope you will let us take you. We want to take the narrative approach of a 70-minute concert and merge it with the 12-hour feel of a warehouse party.

Is there a release plan around this? Can you tell us about it?
Yes. And no, I can’t tell you about it. We are collecting 10 bombbs (for discretion’s sake I prefer to never spell “bombs” correctly, lest I attract even more hot judgment from The Man’s tireless word-finding cyber-drones. Don’t say Billy Idol didn’t warn us), remixes by our extended family of our long time megahits. I will play them in my sets, and we will release them as we go along. I foresee a lot of people coming up and asking, “What IS this track?” And a lot of me shruggin’ and grinnin’. I’m gonna be so damn sheepish it’s crazy.
I want you to imagine the best possible combinations of remixers and tracks. Now imagine me laughing at your imagination. It hurts, doesn’t it? That’s because in your imaginary heart you know that you couldn’t be farther off in terms of quality and general excitement. At the end of the tour, the whole package, along with some new original tracks, will be released as an album. We will then attempt to sell that album.

Tell us the first thing that comes into your head regarding the following Planet Turbo artists.

Erol Alkan
Vowels.
One of the big boys. And a great friend.

Boys Noize
Techno kid all grown up. Amazing DJ, and one of the few guys I really trust to destroy a party. Fits right into my Man’s Planz.

Thomas Von Party
My brother. The heartwarming glue that holds the Turbo family together, and the first man to publicly “Kick It Up a Vibe”.

Matt Walsh
When I first met him, he was dressed exactly like Peter Pan. He even had a cable harness strapped to him.

When and why did you start Turbo?
I started it in ‘98. I just wanted to work with artists and music and find a way to launder the money from my nightclub business. That’s just me joking around. You can’t launder counterfeit traveler’s cheques. Turbo has always been about putting out the best possible music. We don’t do vanity projects. For instance, we decided against putting out my rock album, “Dungaree Heart”, as well as my devotional project “Rhythm of the Jesuits”.

What else is coming up for Tiga and Turbo?
Albums by ZZT, Chromeo, PROXY and Sei A. A Tiga MixCD. The Turbo Apps store. My book. My poetry ranch. Turbo: The Movie. Turbo: The Kindle. My fragrance, “Irrepressible Person.”

If Turbo were a planet, what would it be like?

The soil would be so rich you wouldn’t even believe it. Say a kind word and a Trust Plant springs up from the earth. The sky would be the color of the most beautiful energy drink, and the animals would all have monthly DJ charts instead of being completely useless. And I would gaze down upon my creation, singing the wind through your hair. Also, there would be no prejudice.

Timmy Stewart (Jet Project)




This week at Punch we are flying down Timmy Stewart of Jet Project fame, as a duo with John McIvor they have recently released "Zuma" Which has not only just been a big track for me,
but has been released on Get Physical sub label Get Digital. You can keep up to date with the guys by checking out their blog .


The Jet Project was formed after a few back to back dj sets in Belfast led the guys to realise they both shared the same love of solid dance floor electronics. The next logical step was to take all their influences and experience as djs and producers and combine them in the studio. Their sound is very much en vogue right now, from deep and dubby tech house to thundering peak time techno, support for their material to date has come from Andrew Weatherall, Francois K, Laurent Garnier, John Digweed, Heidi & M.A.N.D.Y.

Timmy Stewart & John McIver followed up a series of killer EPs for Silicone Soul's Darkroom Dubs label with their "Heads In The Clouds" long player that secured them the album of the month slot in iDJ magazine this Summer. They've also put their deft remix touches to Scoper & Bubba, the Two Lone Swordsmen, Matt Playford, Silicone Soul, M.in, Android Cartel, Sian & Deepchild amongst others.

Their recent Black Arts EP on Steve Lawler's VIVa Music spawned the club smash Tooth N Bone which won them legions of new fans and the first four releases on their newly founded Extended Play imprint with Chris Duckenfield (Swag) has earned them even more props from heads as diverse as Dixon and Claude Von Stroke.

With their latest material signed by Berlin's mighty Get Physical stable & Paul Woolford's Detroit inspired Intimacy label and a host of killer remixes and singles set to drop in the coming months, not to mention their successful side projects as Yankee Zulu and Bubba & T-Bone, it's safe to say the Jet Project are cleared for take off.

Delicacies


Simian Mobile Disco have launched a new record label, Delicacies, which will release its first EP at the end of April.

All tracks on the new label will be named after bizarre culinary items from around the globe, such as "Aspic" and "Nerve Salad," both of which will be included on the imprint's first release. Delicacies is also the title of the duo's new club night, which kicked off at the end of February with an event at matter featuring Green Velvet, DJ Pierre, Joker and others, plus a DJ set by SMD themselves. The pair have also secured a quarterly residency at Fixed, a New York party that has featured Simian Mobile Disco numerous times since 2007.

To get the scoop on all of their new projects, we caught up with Jas Shaw via email earlier this month.
Tell me a bit about the concept behind the new label.

After finishing the last record we were both still full of ideas for tracks and wanted to spend more time in the studio doing more experimental stuff. Also, we have been DJing a lot and the last record was more of a home listening thing, not really the kind of stuff we play when we DJ. So it's really just an excuse for us to book time off touring to mess around in the studio. The idea of releasing the tracks quickly and with little promo or fuss was just to give us short deadlines to finish things. It's really nice to make a few tunes in the week and then play them out that weekend and then put them out straight away.

How will records on Delicacies differ from other music you’ve released so far?

Delicacies are usually quite disgusting things that are enjoyed by a small group of people. Lots of the music that we listen to fits this description and this label is a forum for us to put out some disgusting music for the few that like that sort of thing.

Will all Delicacies releases be by Simian Mobile Disco or can we expect other artists in the series?

Yeah, if things go well then we might well put some stuff out by other people. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though.

How have the Delicatessen parties been going so far?

Really well, the first one at matter was great. It was amazing to choose all the people involved, kind of like designing your perfect night out. We will definitely be doing some more of those.

How was your first resident night at Fixed?

Fixed was cool, we have been playing for Josh and Dave (who run Fixed) since day one. We used to stay at their flat whenever we went out there. The New York party we just had was definitely a work in progress, lots of the crowd were there for techno but there were also people there expecting us to play lots of our own stuff which we don't really do. Part of having a residency there is to get people into the idea that when we DJ it's not to play lots of SMD stuff—that's more for the live shows. We are playing lots of wonky techno and we have been road testing unfinished Delicacies stuff as well.

What else do you have in the pipeline at the moment?

The final bits of my new synth are arriving soon so we are looking forward to putting it through its paces.

Duke Dumont - FABRICLIVE 51


Born the son of a record dealer and raised in north-west London where pirate radio ruled the airwaves during the late 90s, it was near-inevitable that a teenage Adam Dyment would eventually find himself in front of a pair of Technics 1210s. This was a time of swapping vinyl and mixtapes - a time bridge, really - before broadband internet and mass illegal downloads, but during the early stages of computer software becoming an option for beat making. And this was the era of Adam’s grounding in music; DJing was the in-thing, and was simultaneously the genesis for accessible music production software.

“Everybody in the neighbourhood, of my age, was a DJ. Everyone used to make mixtapes, swap records, but I seemed to be the only one who kept on doing it, and the passion never burned out. The reason is I caught the production bug. My introduction was a copy of ‘Music 2000’ on the Playstation when I was about 16. With ‘Music 2000’ you used to be able to sample CDs - you could just put a CD into a Playstation, sample ten seconds of music, cut up drums, and just start making music. Sure, it was on my TV speakers, and bounced onto a minidisk player, but it was my introduction, an outlet, and everything followed from there. Perhaps the snobs might turn their noses up at that, but in a practical sense, it was no different to starting out on an Akai sampler.” – The Duke Dumont

Music production became an all-consuming passion and, after winning the Diesel U Music award for the country’s best unsigned producer, he was afforded two huge opportunities: being signed to a DJ agency (a move that allowed him to quit his day job and focus full-time on music), and being given the opportunity to remix a track by Mekon featuring Roxanne Shante. His stock has been rapidly rising ever since; for the next few years, his ability to transform indie tracks into his own, made him the go-to remixer for the likes of Mystery Jets, Late of the Pier and Bat For Lashes. However, his production has broadened in scope with remarkable force, and with his debut artist album in the works this year, he is determined not to be held ransom by musical-cliques.

“My whole philosophy is: don’t just jump in with the latest genre. If you’re wearing a badge of a particular dance music brand you can make a lot of money very quickly, but begin to loathe what you love - the really good stuff comes from the heart and the soul, without any external pressures, and letting your imagination take precedence. Essentially I cannot bring myself to stick to a genre, or BPM. Making music, and listening to music must be an all consuming pleasure, and never a chore.” – The Duke Dumont

A short chat with The Duke Dumont on this topic is revealing – conversation can swing from discussing the qualities of Madlib one minute to extolling the virtues of 2-step garage another to enthusing about live shows by The Field or Apparat the next. It’s clear his wide musical proclivities are not an attempt at eclecticism, nor a plea to be a part of the current zeitgeist for genre blurring. They’re simply a result of a deep-seated passion for music, for production and for that dying artform in a 21st Century world of music saturation: discovery.

The Duke Dumont’s burning appetite for good music, first and foremost, is conveyed through a rather surprising collection of sonic treasures on his FABRICLIVE 51 mix. Stripped down to a slim-line 13 tracks, it is utterly free from gimmicks, from nods to tastemakers or from big names. Instead, it rightfully focuses on allowing all 13 tracks space to express themselves and take the listener on an inspiring journey, at once cerebral and emotional, heartfelt and precise. Taking in the acid-tinged techno of Saturn V on Spectral Sound, the Berghain warehouse throb of Scuba, the melodic lilt of Bodycode, the deep 2-step swing of Floating Points and the epic swell of Idioma’s closer, it’s a mix that takes listeners right back to the centre of Room Two’s pitch black 4am dancefloor.

“I’m not trying to promote a genre with this mix, the ethos is simply to make something that I’ll still really love in a few years’ time. It’s all good music. The mix is hypnotic, with structure and atmosphere – it represents what I play: groove-based, bordering on the techy side and all with a sense of emotion, which a venue like fabric allows me to express.” – The Duke Dumont

Romane


Bart B More's highly anticipated release "Romane" finally drops today on Sound Pellegrino, which is now 1 year old, may the success continue. Some massive releases.

Romane is an instant crowd pleaser which relies on three simple ingredients: an unforgettable riff, a sick beat, and one of the most seriously earth shattering, body shaking, mind motivating alarm siren that just screams “get up and dance, young hero, it’s time to save the world”. Remixing the aforementioned triple threat could have proven tricky, so we carefully assembled a dream list of producers that could take up the challenge, and the magic happened. Truly one of the most perfect remix packages created since the invention of the wheel.

Parisian wonders, Youngunz alumni and overall little rascals French Fries and Bambounou chop up the melody, give it a friendly noogie and then proceed to take it with them to an afterparty in San Francisco curated by the Martin Brothers and a dude wearing a giant bacon strip costume. Sexy, classy, efficient and fun.

Up and coming Dutch producer Rubix takes the essence of the track and beautifully turns it into a crazy giant mariachi fiesta that litterally explodes in your ear. Seriously, I don’t know if the guy hired a complete latino horn section to come play this insane melody in his studio but the result is awesome beyond belief. This totally sounds like the house version of Delinquent Habits’ “Tres Delinquentes”.

Gucci Vump, the infamous top secret duo made up of Brodinski and Guillaume from The Shoes, deliver their first remix since their stellar Sha! Shtil! EP on Sound Pellegrino last fall. Focusing their energies on the siren, just the siren and only the siren, they bring it to a legendary level of ravy fierce funky house next levelness.
