DEFCON

+ the imprint deejays

The Menagerie

9pm - £5

The opening to new horizons towards melodic and rhythmic structures that are not limited by physical properties of natural instruments - Knxwledge, an east coast beat recycler has circulated this sound worldwide.

From Philadelphia this young beatmaker has been bubbling beneath the surface in the virtual world and has quickly made it onto the playlists of global radiomixes. Featured on Detroit MC Invincible’s “Shapeshifters” and XLR8R magazine, he is a proven standout amongst the new wave beat generation. His captivating sound is a blend of true musicianship of great legends such as Miles Davis and hip-hop breakbeats all wrapped into one.

Making his name via Myspace, global mixes spinning around the world and with a Mary Anne Hobbs mix & plays from Benji B already under his belt he stepped up to the plate in 2010 with his first solo release on Dublin based All City records – Klouds. It contained 15 tracks of varying rhythmic structures, lengths and speeds which go way further than mere beats and snippets. Sloppy, on beat and off, this post-Dilla jazz and soul bump is all thrown in the beat blender and the output is truly immense.

An ABSOLUTE must for fans of J-Dilla / Flying Lotus etc

Support on the night will be from local wizzkid beat-maker DEFCON.

Not to be missed folks!

Saturday 22nd January 2011
Black Box Cafe - 8pm
Free Admission

In this the first ‘imprintthisonyourmind presents’ gig, we have three of the city’s most promising songwriters to provide a backdrop of original Lo-Fi, Folk and Americana tinged acoustic music.

A somewhat veteran of Belfast’s brooding music scene, Tom McShane is possibly one of the most unique songwriter’s currently performing in the city. Reflecting life’s intricacies through simple and often immersive stories, his sound falls somewhere in the realms of Bill Callahan, Elliot Smith and his self-professed influence Mark Linkous. This will be a unique chance to hear Tom’s songs, both old and new, in their raw, stripped back form.

Rachel Coulter and Stephen McCartney, otherwise known as members of upcoming Folk/Americana act The Farriers, are two songwriters with an amazing amount of synergy. Whether it be the foot-tapping vibes of stripped back Farriers songs, the dark longing of their seldom-heard personal material or even the resounding familiarity of that long forgotten folk cover, Rachel and Stephen project an rousing variety that excites and intrigues.

Isobel Anderson is a Composer, Musician and Visual Artist. She grew up just outside Brighton, and now lives in Belfast where she is studying for an MA in Sonic Arts at Queens. 2010 saw the release of her debut album”Cold Water Songs”, a collection of songs written, performed, recorded and produced by Isobel herself. Her hypnotic voice coupled with her frank songwriting is as refreshing as it is beautiful.

So, Christmas is upon us and the entire country seems to be going crazy with shopping or drinking or being stuck in an airport somewhere. Take away all the travel confusion and the snow is actually pretty nice and it definitely helps me get into the spirit of the season. Well, maybe a little. Anywho - enough babbling - I present you with the Christmas Podcast! Well, its not very christmassy bar a few random inclusions which may or may not pass you by. We have the lovely and talented Isobel Anderson in session and a whole bunch of new music to keep you aurally stimulated this holiday season. Merry Christmas to each and every one of you and thanks for the listens and support over the last year.

Its super crazy cold outside. So why not wrap up warm and get your earlobes around podcast #14. This is a special one as it features a session from one of my favourite local bands at the minute, Sea Pinks. They were in recording their new EP/Album and agreed to session for us and it sounds fantastic. There is also new music from Scuba, David Lynch, The Fantasies and much more; including a small tribute to the late Leslie Neilsen. Kudos to those of you that spot it. Its not difficult.
