LONE (LIVE) ~ PARKERTRON (LIVE) ~ CYCLOPTIC @ DEAF INSTITUTE 26TH MARCH
| | Mind on Fire and the Pinch team up for the third installment of their series of events at Manchester's Deaf Institute, welcoming... ::: LONE ::: ''Lone (Matt Cutler) has something that I think is very healthy for an artist to have in this age of myspace music and the vast array of underground labels, and that's a strong identity - I could spot a Lone track by hearing one or two bars, he has a personality in his music that is vivid. I reckon that Lemurian could provoke synaesthetic reactions in those who don't already have the condition, that is, its character seems to extend beyond the sonic domain into some other sensual domain. I think that if Lemurian was a colour, it'd be aquamarine. If it had a smell, it'd be seaweed on the breeze. If it had a taste, it'd be saltwater. If it had a texture, it'd be scratchy coral. 'Sea Spray' is about as fitting a title as you could get for a Lemurian track. As well as filling your ears with faded loungey chords, bursts of weathered VHS stings and Hawaiian musical postcards, Lemurian is caked with the thickest punchiest soulfully- shuffled hip hop beats that would satisfy anyone who simply has to nod their head to enjoy themselves. This is also daydream music, you can't listen to it without going off somewhere. Personally, I slip into the daydream of being sucked into the 80s arcade game 'Outrun' and tearing around a looped pixellated parallel to Miami or some other palm-tree-avenued sea front, with Lemurian pumping out of the car stereo of course.'' - Bibio (Warp records / Artists' Valley Records) ::: PETER PARKER is....PARKERTRON ::: Parkertron, or Peter Parker, has been a Mind on Fire and Pinch favourite for some time, and will be coming down to showcase his first solo LP in it's entirety. After coming 3rd at the UK DMC championships Peter Parker, or Parkertron joined Rae and Christians live band where he met bassist and future bandmate in Fingathing, Sneaky. With Fingathing he enjoyed a great deal of success, touring the world playing mind boggling and high energy shows, ripping up the MPC and decks. He is now also a member of Real Dolls and a renowned DJ. However, as well as being the primary beatmaker for Fingathing and more recently the Real Dolls he also makes some tasty instrumentals on the MPC, some of which are featured exclusively on mindonfire.co.uk ::: CYCLOPTIC ::: Once again our good friend and resident visual artist Cycloptic will be transforming the venue with yet another unique structure and focused lights.
