Moon On My Forehead

There's a new track on MySpace if you want to listen to something new...

Cylob @ Mansedanse, Finland Oct 9 & 11 2008

Here's the festival in Tampere, Finland that I'll be playing twice in October: an ambient set on the 9th and a dancefloor set on the 11th. I don't know how it will be on the 9th, but I perpetually dream of playing a gig where people sit down, shut up and listen instead of SHOUTING so loud that I can't hear what I'm doing despite it coming out of a 50k rig!

The line-up also includes the one man crew of DMX Krew, and if any more members left Altern-8 there would be an eerie silence instead of the inevitable breaks and rave stabs. (P.S. is there any genre of music that doesn't sound better in the presence of green lazers, dry ice and strobe lighting?)

DJ Cylob @ Club Maria - MP3

I'm in two minds about this set... for one thing, there were some technical difficulties at the start. (A particularly slack 10 minutes has been edited out of the recording below. I haven't been too Stalinesque though, there are plenty of mistakes later on, don't worry about that.) These are mostly tunes I've played many times before, I don't know why I wasn't being very adventurous with the selection. On the other hand, the new skippy functions and liberal use of effects gives the set plenty of interesting moments. There is no crowd noise on the recording, but the response was really good! The best there's been in a while. Also, the visuals went really well, which was a bonus. OK so judge the recording for yourself.

Part 1 / Part 2

p.s. If you find the last five minutes a little hectic, try following that with something a bit more chilled out.

Back To The Pudel - Hamburg 7 September 2008

I haven't been to this place in 9 years or so, and I'm amazed that it's still going. So here you go - I'll be dj-ing at Hamburg's finest nano-club, the Golden Pudel on Sunday 7 September 2008. I also have 2 gigs lined up for October 9 and 11 as part of a festival, but I'm not supposed to reveal anything until the organisers do.

Berlin 2 Aug - time slot change

Yo, apparently I'm now playing from 1-3 am tomorrow. Once again, it's at:

Club Maria
Maria Am Ostbahnhof, Stralauer Platz 34 / 35, An Der Schillingbrücke, Friendrichshain, Berlin.
1 - 3 DJ Cylob
3 - 5 Rob Hall
5 ... Adam X

I've been doing more to my program, as usual, and I now have a set of functions that skip around in the track to create real-time "edits" and fills. It sounds mental! If you are in or around Berlin, don't miss this gig, especially if you need something different to minimal techno.
