I am very pleased to announce that myself and Basketball with local boys Soft Wear will be invading Lucky Bar, January 14th in Victoria

Basketball; an energetic four piece driven by live electronics, spirited vocals, and massive percussion create an inclusive primal sound that grows into pulsating dance beats. From Tome’s vocals in his native tongues, Croatian and English, to the Persian scales, to the gypsy-esque spirit, their live performances, like rituals, induce mass dancing through catharsis, roping bodies into possession with their fierce thumping beats, and sparkling with eastern melodies. Their cargo: drum machines, a constellation of percussion, Turkish zurna, Persian santur, electric guitar, sub upon sub, and voice upon voice. The combination of their sound has drawn comparisons to Modeselektor, Gang Gang Dance, Buraka Som Sistema, The Joker and Tinariwen.

Here are some things people have said about them

“It only takes hearing a couple seconds of Basketball’s music to realize the band are extremely world-minded. The eclectic Vancouver, BC combo have managed to jumble Euro-centric club music, African rhythms, Croatian-sung lyrics and skittered electro beats into their kitchen-sink sound. The sensory-flooding sound is overwhelmingly awesome, to say the least.
- Exclaim! Magazine

“Middle Eastern sounds with cut up drum-machine beats, Basketball ends up tapping into something primal, creating their own genre. You really have to see them live to experience it firsthand; like an orgy, it’s very much a communal thing.”
- Discorder Magazine

“Basketball wander beneath night skies patterned with LED constellations across pixelated deserts like sonic nomads… dragging behind them broken drums and machines, forever talking in tongues attached to a trail of fluorescent wires slithering across the dust bowl like a congregation of snakes. Out there on the plains they erect a giant crystal rave tent in preparation for the forthcoming sandstorms with the ancient native tribes people they encountered as a circus of silhouettes before a moon that could have swallowed them as they sat atop their mechanical chrome camels.”

- 20JazzFunkGreats

here is a video of their newest realease Suspiros de Chile form their forthcoming album….

Last time two times that Basketball and I have played together the energy in the room was an almost religious magnitude.
Not one moment of posturing with them… the room was together for it the collective energy is something I havent felt at any other concert I have been a part of.

hot summer makes for beautiful warm summer nights.
this is going to be a night for music lovers.

Bartel

Bartel’s music has been described as haunting, yet melodic; down-tempo, yet driving. Swelling ambient soundscapes meet with deep glitch cuts,while a dub sensibility keeps it all sounding like a distant memory. More to the the point, the Bartel aesthetic explores the intersection between ultra-modern synthesis, location recording, and experimental sound design; encouraging an approach to song writing which is both technical and cinematic. Bartel has presented their work in a live setting all over North America

Performances by:

- Vincent Parker ( Runriot records )

Vincent Parker, the Vancouver based recording artist signed with Run Riot Records, has been crafting his own brand of live psyched-out power rhythms since 2003. Formerly the producer and beatmaker of the famed underground booty tech punk band Artemis Jackson, Parker has been hard at work tooling and tweaking his latest release, “Prism Myst”, out NOW on Run Riot Records.

Using a streamlined live PA setup consisting of just a PC laptop and double Kaoss pads, Parker makes new, genre-shunning, laser-blistering, glitched mega grooves for the 21st century. Make no mistake, Parker has an instantly recognizable style, and his own manifesto for the future of electronic music. He plans on sharing it with you.

LongWalkShortDock (Vancouver BC)

A veteran of sound design and electronic music production for well over a decade, Dave King (longwalkshortdock)’s music has stepped into a genre of its own. Heavily influenced by early 80s video game music and vintage analog synthesis, he stacks layers of melody in his tracks untill they implode and reform. Heavy drums and aggressive synths join forces with rolling grooves and melodic lead lines to create a wide variety of slamming dance floor originals. Not limited to dance music, his music crosses into many territories. His vast catalogue of hundreds of songs dives into ambient, IDM, electro, acid, house, big beat, indie rock, drones, electronica and down tempo. Playing songs and remixes he wrote and produced, longwalkshortdock performs live PA with live vocals, synthesizers, drum machines, guitar, effects, toys, computers and even some of his own strobes and lighting. Known for his incredibly “enthusiastic” performances, longwalkshortdock has performed live with talented artists like Phil Western (Download, Skinny Puppy, Kone), Alex Patterson (The Orb), Adam Freeland, MSTRKRFT, Mimosa, Junkie XL, Shout out out out out and Matt the Alien to name a few. Longwalkshortdocks debut record, “Casual Tea” has just been self released and is available through him personally now. A digital release is in the works.

Did you know they found him in a cave on the moon? Thats what i heard…

>> SYNKRO (manchester,uk)
z audio, smokin sessions

vancouver has had it’s share of techno-slanted, more experimental, and (OF
COURSE) banging dubstep headliners thru town. but this may be the first
dubstep artist that is undeniably “deep”, with a serious leaning towards
the 2-step, to come delivery the goods. synkro’s sound could be described
as moody, without the “dark”, or hypnotic without the heaviness..
definetely complex without losing the dancefloor (yes!)
