Saturday May 13th 2006. Doors 7 pm. Club night from 10pm until 4am. Gig Tickets thru Rock City Box Office, Club night is £5/£6 .
Jimmy Edgar Live + DJ Aled Jones
Livewax and Camouflage join forces with Stealth to bring you a new direction in live music for Nottingham. For the first time, experimental electronic music will be given the showcase it deserves at Nottingham's biggest club – with undoubtedly one of the best sound systems in Europe. Top of the bill is Warp Records wunderkind Jimmy Edgar , a legend in his early twenties, taking the Detroit sound and twisting it with his own take on sleek, sexual grooves. His live sets prove to be explosive, a cornucopia of delights for both body and mind, with asses shaking whilst boundaries are redrawn and conceptions challenged.
Jimmy Edgar's live show has attracted rave reviews from both sides of the Atlantic. This is our favourite:
"In a dark club with minimal blue / white lighting and self-programmed reactive visuals, the Jimmy Edgar Live experience is a delicious mix of retro electronic cool and raw futurism; like being inside a new level of Tron, co-written by Prince and Autechre.

And in support of Jimmy, Aled Jones has been DJing in and around Nottingham for over 6 years now. His name has become synonymous with advanced electronix within the city. His style varies from intricate electronica
to storming electro and ghettotech, dubby house to drill n bass, bootleg mash-ups to peak-time Detroit-influenced techno.
Followed by: Stealth vs Rescued: Room 2: Livewax & Camouflage Showcase:
The Gasman (Planet Mu)
Loz Koleszko (1 Man Army Records)
brokeBust (Livewax)
missaw (Livewax, FFaction)
Straight after the gig the massively popular Stealth vs. Rescued club night kicks off – and we bring you a night showcasing cutting-edge experimental artists, from local to international.
The Gasman leads a double musical life. One the one hand he creates beautiful, upbeat tracks with catchy melodies – and on the other dark, reverberating ‘insectoid’ glitches subliminally
altering your state of mind. But all the while, his music is melodic
and playful, texturally lush and rhythmically strong and groovy at the
same time.
Having just released his third album on Planet Mu, the critically acclaimed "This One's For You", the Gasman (a.k.a. Christopher Reeves, we kid you not!) will be bringing the calibre of live electronic mayhem that was
witnessed at his recent Maida Vale for Radio 1. This is not to be
missed! http://www.myspace.com/thegasman
Since the release of his debut EP, The Monkeys Danced Like Cuboids, on 1 Man Army Records in 2003, Loz Koleszko has continued to win over new music fans with his quirky electronica and legendary underground live sets around the country. Loz has performed his unique brand of electronica at events such as Toxic Dancehall, Monkey!Knife!Fight!, Plummet, Ordio Enjinn and Club Choke and has been seen around the country supporting established artists such as Plaid, Cylob, Mike Dred and B12. Loz Koleszko has finished working on his second release: 'DISINFECTIONS', which will be available in 2006 on 1 Man Army Records.http://www.lozk.co.uk
Incendiary characteristic efficiency is the raw materials of legend of brokeBust. Yes! He painstakingly is possible to make each set, and the entire world, around that which is alone and new. Each one's uniqueness for you , you who have been grasped always because of the sudden air! Remember, the thing which describes music is to confuse us from the point, the point of brokeBust!
missaw is the backwards man. An electronic chamaeleon, residing somewhere between lush textural soundscapes and no-holds-barred ravecore. Often seen playing across London and Nottingham, at events ranging from chin-stroking arts bashes to big room techno events to sweaty, dirty hovels to people's living rooms, the principal factor thing linking each performance is an aesthetic that combines found sounds, real-time sample manipulation and deconstruction and a penchant for making brains and bodies come alive. This is an uneasy listening experience for the electronically inclined. Look and listen @ http://www.ffaction.co.uk
We'll see you there!
