this week on Best in Show- Venetian Snares live in Seattle, 7 June 2008

I'm pleased to present the worldwide debut of Venetian Snares live at El Corazon in Seattle, Washington from the 7th of June 2008 this week on Humorless Productions Presents Best in Show on Mixlr.com.

This one sounds every bit as good as the recording I made of him in Korneuburg, Austria in 2005, and this show in Seattle coincided with the release of Detrimentalist, so he starts by playing some choice cuts from that one, and then heads off in all directions, including tracks from Rossz, Filth, Higgins, Doll Doll Doll, Cavalcade of Glee and all sorts of others.

Listen in at mixlr.com/humorless-productions/ this Sunday at 6pm west coast time.

(Then I'll be taking the following week off, but on the Sunday after that, the 28th, I'll be back on with Nommo Ogo, Thee Source ov Fawnation, Baseck and Bad Timing live from LA from a few weeks ago.)

this week on Best in Show- Panacea and Venetian Snares, live at MUTEK Montreal, 2000/2001 (plus a challenge for next week)

Remember back in the old days (turn of the century?) when it was the hip thing for clubs to webcast live audio of their shows? Does anybody do that anymore, other than DNA Lounge in SF? Dunno. Don't think so. And DNA Lounge applies such a ridiculously high ratio limiter on their audio that their webcasts are pretty much unlistenable (listen to some of their archives for yourself here). I remember back in those days, there was more than a handful of clubs in Berlin that did this every single weekend, and the time difference between Germany and me in Southern California was so that I would pop one of them on in the afternoon and let it run for hours and hours.

Anyways, Canada's long-running and prestigious festival for electronic music, MUTEK, used to do this (still does? dunno) and would also post selected performances as mp3s for download after the fact (which are gone now as far as I can tell).

Was I the only one who would sit in my studio and record these things as they happened? Maybe so, because this Venetian Snares didn't show up anywhere on the internet until I started giving it out to friends, and I can't find this Panacea anywhere, maybe because I haven't given it out to any friends yet.

Don't expect Panacea's familiar hard drum and bass sound in this performance. For this MUTEK show, he only performed songs from his brilliant Brasilia cd, which is much more in line with the ambient glitch sounds of his Squaremeter project.

And this Venetian Snares show is very early in his career when he was pumping out some of his most brutal, most relentless, most intense industrial-stength breakcore. He plays several tracks from the Shiver in Eternal Darkness cd and the Greg Hates Car Culture 12" and the Fuck Canada // Fuck America cd and some other unreleased bits from that era.

MUTEK's audio webcasts were superior to most others, as they had the wherewithal to set up some room mics and include them in the mix, so we do get some crowd noise. But as you would expect, both the Panacea and the VSnares required a whole bunch of fixing up and remastering, and I pumped in some extra crowd sounds to make it sound like an actual concert.

I know I've already typed a whole lot, but I'm gonna type some more-

I have a challenge for you, my listeners. To state it simply, my show is not that popular. So here's what I wanna do- this week, if the listener count surpasses 100, then for next week's show on the 14th, I'll put on this excellent recording I made of Venetian Snares live in Seattle from the summer of 2008, which happened right as Detrimentalist was hitting the streets, so he does a bunch of songs from that one, and from Rossz and Meathole and Infolepsy and Doll Doll Doll and Higgins and a whole bunch of others.

But if I don't hit 100 listeners, that one will remain hidden, and I'll put on something else.

But for this week, tune in on Sunday afternoon at 6pm west coast time at http://mixlr.com/humorless-productions/ for Panacea like at MUTEK Montreal, 7 June 2000, and Venetian Snares live at MUTEK Montreal, 14 October 2001.

this week on Best in Show- Ars Dada and Xanopticon, live in Los Angeles, 2010

Ars Dada and Xanopticon, live in Los Angeles, 13 November 2010.

Sunday, 6pm west coast time, listen at http://mixlr.com/humorless-productions/.

this week on Best in Show- Christoph Fringeli live in Austria 2009

Praxis Records label founder Christoph Fringeli treats us to some heavy and gloomy electronics this week on Best in Show- a mix of pounding industrial, proto-breakcore, with bits of dark ambient, radio/tv dialog and a little classical music.

Live at Elevate Festival, Graz, Austria, 24 October 2009. Tune in Sunday at 6pm west coast time at http://mixlr.com/humorless-productions/.

this week on Best in Show- Corvx de Timor, LA 2013 and Yellow Then Blue, LA 2008

Couple unrelated live sets this week, although stylistically they'll appeal to the same crowd.

First up will be Corvx de Timor live at Complex in Los Angeles from 22 May 2013. Recommended if you like Gridlock's gloomy, crunchy, post-industrial/idm soundscapes and beats.

Followed by Yellow Then Blue's debut performance from the 12th of September 2008, also in Los Angeles. Imagine if Squarepusher and Aphex Twin had a baby, and it liked jazz and fusion rock as well as its parent's spazzy, breakneck idm.

Both sets are short, so the complete radio show won't be much more than an hour this week.

Listen in Sunday at 6pm west coast time at http://mixlr.com/humorless-productions/

this week on Best in Show- Graz and FFF live in Santa Barbara 2012

Seattle ravecore mashup hardcore genius Graz teamed up with legendary Rotterdam breakcore junglist FFF for the SpringBreakCore tour in the spring of 2012, and this Sunday I'll bring you the recordings of their performances from the final show of that tour from the 24th of March 2012 from Santa Barbara.

And there's so much going on these days on the weekend, that I'm gonna delay the start time for the show another hour, so from now on the show will start every Sunday at 6pm west coast time, 9pm on the east.

Listen in at http://mixlr.com/humorless-productions/.

this week on Best in Show- KK Null live in Austria 2009 and Merzbow live in Austria 2010

 

Another combo show this week with a short (~20 minutes) but really amazing live recording of KK Null in Graz from 2009, followed by Merzbow live in Vienna from the spring of 2010, a performance for which he was accompanied by drummer Balázs Pándi.

Sunday, 5pm west coast time, listen at http://mixlr.com/humorless-productions/

this week on Best in Show- Enduser, Las Vegas, 2007

Here's another one from the vaults, and another world premier! Enduser live from Las Vegas from Cinco de Mayo, 2007.

I have no idea how Enduser found time to produce all the music that he did leading up to this Vegas show, on top of his constant touring. He had released From Zero in 2004, Run War and Comparing Paths and The End and Calling the Vultures in 2005, and Pushing Back and Form without Function in 2006. Six albums and one EP of remixes (as well as a handful of 12"s and compilation tracks) in three years, all the while touring, non-stop, worldwide. That's ridiculous.

I've decided to move back the start time for the show by an hour. Now that the weather is much more conducive to outdoor activities well into the evening, I try to take advantage of it as much as I can. So the show will now start at 5pm west coast time from now on (or at least until I feel like moving it even later…).

So this Sunday, 5pm on the west coast, 8pm on the east, live Enduser from Las Vegas, 5 May 2007. Listen at http://mixlr.com/humorless-productions/

this week on Best in Show- Abelcain (world premier) and Fanny

Tune in this Sunday afternoon on mixlr.com for Abelcain and Fanny recorded live in Los Angeles as they both played a Darkmatter Soundsystems party on 19 May 2006.

I've seen the Fanny recording pop up on a couple different places on the internet over the years, but I've since remastered this one, so it'll sound far better than any version that's already out there.

The Abelcain hasn't been uploaded, released or broadcast in any way, in part or in whole, so I'm very excited to get that one on the air and give it a proper debut to the world.

Listen in at mixlr.com/humorless-productions Sunday at 4pm west coast time.

this week on Best in Show- The Flashbulb live in Hollywood 2006

The Flashbulb live at The Vanguard, Hollywood, CA, 15 November 2006.

This one falls into the same category as my recordings of Venetian Snares and Richard Devine in that at the time, I recorded only my own audience bootleg, only to find out later that somebody in a position of authority had recorded and subsequently uploaded/released a board tape. I have combined the two, and the resulting 'live album' sounds infinitely better than either of the individual recordings by themselves.

My biggest hurdle with this project was that the board tape was riddled with serious problems. Really a disaster. Lots of nasty clipping. Channels dropping in and out with the accompanying sounds of cables being plugged in and pulled out. Stuff like that. I repaired/restored/fixed much of that, although there were some parts where it was totally FUBAR, but I did what I could with it. The good news is that not only did I make significant improvements in the board tape, but the audience recording helped in smoothing out many of the rough spots once I combined them.

In November of 2006 he was touring in support of his classic Flexing Habitual album so he plays many songs from that, as well as a few from earlier releases like Kirlian Selections and Reunion.

Listen in, Sunday at 4pm west coast time at mixlr.com/humorlessproductions.

SkinCage and Not Breathing live in Tucson, 17 April 2013 (audio and video)

Full sets from both. All audio recorded, mixed and mastered by me. Video capture and editing by me as well.

All-star night in Arizona as these two legends opened up for Negativland mainstay Mark Hosler (who I recorded as well, but hasn't (yet?) given me the go-ahead to post his recording anywhere, so that one will remain buried in the archives for now).

Audio here (which is the same recording, but it might sound a little sharper than the YouTube audio)-

a few live Bestial Mouths videos from Das Bunker, 1 March 2013

Audio recorded, mixed and mastered by me. Video by me, too (although for this one I had only my little Canon S100 point and shoot, so the video isn't super spectacular, but for a pocket camera, it's pretty damn good).

this week on Best in Show- Raxyor and Techdiff, live in Vienna 2010

Combo show again this week with a couple recordings from the same night in Vienna, June 2010- first the pummeling fury of Raxyor followed by the surgically precise but no less abusive mayhem from Techdiff, as it happened that night at an event called Panzer Schokolade #3 at EKH.

Listen in at http://mixlr.com/humorless-productions/, Sunday at 4pm west coast time.
