SATURDAY JUNE 6TH 2009
BREAKCORE ELIMINATION CHALLENGE 6!!
thats right, june 6th 2009. B.E.C. 6. the 6th installment. on the 6th month. on the 6th day. some satanic nuts going on here. satanically delicious. srsly 9 is 6 upside down. and apparently 9 is more evil than 6. thats soooo evil. these events are so good even the devil is down. god has yet to get involved but elvis was there and some old people might say he was a god of sorts. anyhow we have no stance on religion as an organization or political practice and we dont endorse any viewpoints that dont allow us to get drunk and violently exploit our friends' needs to dance and watch people get made fun of.
on to the event itself:
THE PLAYERS:
MEAT PARADE - dtrash records, the meat parade collective - hailing from somewhere between gatineau in quebec and the capital of this beautiful country of ours, meat parade is either a handsome young man on a mission to destroy music and confound us with his song titles or an ugly group making wikked beats to dance to. either way he/they/it will surely confuse our judges and make the other contestants break a sweat.
CRUSHKILL - hmcr, the internet - a veteran of toronto's electronic music scene and a general pain in the ass on message boards across the continent, crushkill makes music ranging from ol' school digital hardcore to 8 bit beats for the masses. crushy makes our hearts go pitter patter and our stomachs churn. he will make you poop.
LUKE PERIL - coming home from montreal mr peril has a lot of new tracks up his sleeve i bet. prepare yrselves for breakcore via idm with a sprinkle of intellectual paranoia. watch this man.
RUBBER MUFFIN - meat parade collective - where ragga-core meets doormouse and recalled chinese toys meet hair beads, thats where rubber muffin sits. from montreal and killing it wherever he is allowed, this is a performance not to be missed so make an effort.
PETE O'HEARN - lost compound, dropFRAME - in some circles he is considered the true winner of the last videodrome but i say his videos are f**king gross and hard to look at. that doesnt mean i'm not scared of him so please dont tell him i said that. a video set to make you faint by i'm sure.
CAULK AND TALE - pin:ksox, girlguides - the most handsomest men on any construction site, these TORONTO-living boys are apparently the only ones playing records this time around which means they're guaranteed a win. throw in the towel f**kers!
THE JUDGES:
SQUID A.K.A. IT-CLINGS - bugs crawling out of people records founder and a strong promoter of the dark and hard electronic scene in toronto, this man knows enough about this stuff to have an opinion or 2 about a thing or 2.
JODA CLEMENT - founder of abient editions. having made, promoted and generally just been a connoisseur of all things noise, ambient, idm, crunk and everything at all connected joda can talk yr ear off about almost anything. lets hope we can keep a leash on him.
YOU - youre allright. you come to the shows and pay to get in for the most part, but you tend to wanna bring yr own drinks (DONT DO THAT!) and yell at the host (admittedly most of the time he deserves it). we like you tho and count on your opinion. unless we dont like it.
THE HOST:
DREW SIMPSON - drew simpson is an artist and man about town known equally if not more for his backyard fires and lamb roasts as for his gorgeous paintings. when he gets drunk he talks some funny nuts and were hoping he'll tap into his drunk side for this event. he will.
Set times are drawn randomly and you never know who's gonna get to the next round so make sure you come early to see who you wanna see and vote for you who you wanna vote for.
