PREVIEW:Tocník festival 2005 - Hrad Tocník u Berouna 26-28.08.2005  By Johnny Glitterfist 26.08.2005 - Elektro stage by DigitalPenetration CursorMiner (Uk Live) Mr6 (Uk) MatKore vs iKore (Uk live) Igraczech (Cz) Touchwood (Cz) Deus Ex Machina (Cz) Wofé (Cz) Two live act bonanza plus special guests from Lo Recordings, AntiCat Recs, and Seed Records UK and dj supportfrom UK and CZ on this very special, celebratory night, of all things musical and noisy from electronics to live bands, theatre to films.
Headlining on Friday night is a very special treat in the form of lunatic laptop breakbeat producer experimentalist, CursorMiner who represents Lo Recordings and Seed Records UK. With his charmingly off kilter and skewed compositions that incorporate everything from buoyant electronics and echoing effects to nasty techno bass intrusions, his excellently titled album, CursorMiner Plays God had the critics creaming themselves and quite rightly so with anthems such as "The Sport Of Kings" tearing up dancfloors and reducing grown men to tears in Moravia on his last Czech tour. Others have previously hailed him as an, 'awe inspiring creation.' I personally, have had the benefit of listening to his two albums and I can satisfyingly say you won't have heard anything like it as it shape shifts across the musical spectrum taking in vistas of all sorts of styles both real and alien. His unsettling way with songs is truly blessed and if i dare say, on par with David Bowie. Except breakbeat. Also, is Mr6's first Cz appearance since June. Intrigued? You'll have to be here to hear. Imagine listening intently to something and being constantly interrupted by the greatest things you want to hear competing for your attention. Not so long ago he played a stormer of a gig with the electrifying MachineFunck at Fléda in Brno and the response he got to his master class in techno dj'ing was deservedly amazing to say the least, as he swapped between electro and techno and looking back for his beer, leaving everyone who witnessed, very happy indeed. Like a dose of your favourite medicine whatever mood your in this evening your sure to be beaming by the end of this show. All ready comparisons are being drawn between him and frantic funsters The Muppets. Next up we have some super charged grim electronic scuzz courtesy of a motley crew of soundsystem freaks that have honed their enviable talents in a variety of explosive projects including kansascityprophets, GrimKore and SpoonGouge, which in turn have supported maniacs and reprobates such as Fridge, The Dexorcist and the downright debauched CursorMiner. In their new fortified guise they aim to rape, pillage and out gun their various other manifestations ten to one with some extremely hard hitting compositions/noise. Ladies and gentlemen, in their latest incarnation, DigitalPenetration is proud to present Prague's freshest and finest elektropunks, MatKore vs iKore. Please be prepared for the extreme. And on that note, hot on the heels from supporting MatKore and CursorMiner et al on tours of Cz, a piece of strip lighting and blu tack known as a drum'n'bass-jungle-breakbeat-experimental pair of Siamese twins, otherwise known as a dynamic duo, have already caused quite a stir around Cz and olde Brighton in England with many a journo (this one included) hailing them as 'a better lot of drunk stoned d'n'b producers.' Quite astute i say, as they used to play with some deviants before their inception as residents of PuntoAzul. But, these guys are better and even more offensive, in a tender way of course…we welcome the return of those riotous revolutionaries, Touchwood and Igraczech. This show is particularly liable to offend. Finally, topping off affairs with a delicious little cherry of alluring delight , it is with great pleasure to announce that the Martian ensemble that is Deus Ex Machina also known as a Dj-ane or a Dj-Ka on account of being female who will be joining in on the shenanigans down in the courtyard with PuntoAzul's best kept secret Wofé. DJ support and the afterparty comes as an all in package. Proceedings start at 10pm and finish around 8am. From new independent music label Seed Records, to the machine music of Detroit and neo Tokyo, we welcome you to the world of DigitalPenetration at Hrad Točník. As ever, concessions are made for OAP'S and now Fitness Club members. vstup - entry Tickets in Advance (up to 15/08 2005) 1 day: 150 Kč / 5 EUR 2 days: 250 Kč / 8 EUR On the day: 1 day: 190 Kč / 7 EUR 2 days: 290 Kč / 10 EUR reserved:
