eclectic ecstatic party sounds
This week we have two excellent minimal dubby techno DJs,
should be a great party:
Brian Jackson's involvement in underground music culture
goes back more than 15 years. A Detroit native now residing in
NYC, he spent 8 years in San Francisco, While in SF he
co-founded the avante-pop/ electronic rock act I Am
Spoonbender (1996-2000) and performed with acts such as
Wire and Einsturzende Neubauten. Also, while in SF he earned
an MA in East-West Psychology from CIIS, studying with
consciousness research pioneers such as Stan Grof and
Richard Tarnas. In 2000 he met visual artist Phoenix Perry and
together they started working under the Form8 umbrella.
Projects include the award winning and scene making events
SYNTH, experimental audio/visual projects that have appeared
in the London Biennale and Expo 2000 (Hanover, Germany), and
the live electronic music/video act Memory Systems (which is
currently working on a new record). Brian is also a professional
audio engineer. His DJ sets are often eclectic, but usually
feature synth-driven, minimal, and dubby techno, dark electro,
experimental acid house, and an occasional Waxtrax era classic.
Michael Uzzi, aka Smartypants, was trained as a classical
percussionist at the New England Conservatory Of Music in
Boston. Somewhere along the way he decided he d rather mess
around with turntables and computers and stuff. The pants
busted onto the scene in Boston in 2001, both as a DJ and as a
live act. Upon his relocation to New York in 2002 he quickly
became a staple of the underground techno scene there,
holding down a residency at the Aphasic parties and frequently
playing guest slots around the city. In September 2003 Mike
returned to Boston and is currently a Saturday night resident at
River Gods with the rest of the Unlockedgroove crew. He has
performed with Stewart Walker, Fred Gianelli, Todd Sines, and
Dinky to name a few. As a producer, Smartypants has had tracks
released by Traum Schallplatten, Sentrall Records, and
Adhesive Records, with more releases in the works. These days
the pants is known to lay down some deep minimal house and
techno.
