Gusset VJ set for Alt.Vault room 3 @ the Black Swan, 23.01.10Edit: Despite the Swan being temporarily closed down over Christmas and New Year it has won the second licensing appeal and this gig IS ON! Opening hours will be reduced to 3am as of 21 days from now (14.01.10) but that will not affect this gig.
Edit 2: It's closed again. This is now cancelled.

The Bash Out Lectures with Dan Gusset and Friends
Dan Pope (aka Gusset) will be presenting an A/V performance of data bent versions of his urban exploring photos alongside a live drone/glitch soundtrack in room three of Bash Out at the Black Swan, Bristol on Sat 20th June (10pm – 6am).
Data bent images are intentionally corrupted digital images where the files have bits altered, cut around, have channels moved or filtered, and are otherwise bastardised to cause all forms of distortions and bizarre effects. Often the results are disappointing fields of black or images that refuse to open at all but persistence and luck can lead to intriguing results.
Like it's close relative circuit bending, where any electronic sound making device, usually a cheap children's toy, is dismantled and its circuitry randomly rewired, it's something that anyone can try. It may just be noise with occasional recognisable hints of what it once was, but there is a beauty to be found in there either by close study or by allowing it to wash over you.
Among the friends Dan has filled the rest of the line-up with will be a Dub Boy & Beavis - Inna Rootstyle, films from public space hijacker and Occasional Cinema organiser Badoni, and beatless soundscapes from Freq.Labels: Bash Out, Bristol, Gigs

London gig this Saturday.
The Boomshank Redemption
Saturday 7th March
8pm-5am
Visions Video Bar
588 Kingsland Rd, London, E8 4AH
£3 before 11pm. £5 after.
No admission after 3am.
Randomoidz – DJ/Live
Winner of both the Bristol and London 2008 Laptop Battles.
His sets merge many different styles and are likely to raise a smile or two, but there are no gimmicks. Randomoidz is on fire! Wicked music to move your feet to.
(Adverse Camber / Ninja Columbo)
El Kano – DJ
Another AdCam boy, El Kano promises bass ragga and noise. He has devastated many soundsystems throughout the country for several years now with a blinding selection of heavy tracks from death metal to jungle via bhangra and dark techno.
(Adverse Camber)
Gusset – Live
The one man Gusset live experience courtesy of Dan P. He's a fundamental part of the Bristol breakcore collective, co-presenting the Goatlab Radio podcast, promoting shows, producing, playing live and has just started a netlabel. Expect oddness!
(Death$ucker)
Wombcorps – DJ
Sarah has been DJing all over the shop lately. Expect only the finest cuts of Jungle-shank and Hardcore-rump.
(Bad Sekta)
Alan Titmash – DJ/Live
The puerile breakcore influence refuses to fade, but Titmash's DJ sets inject a lot more funk and groove into the proceedings.
(Blunt Force Trauma / Structural Damage)
Shredexx – DJ
Fresh dubstep from the past, present and future (white labels!).
(DehdBeatz)
SVO – DJ
Jacking crowdpleasers.
+ MORE (hopefully!)

Occasional Cinema, Wed 17th December, Stokes Croft, Bristol
This will be my first proper photo exhibition (ie more than one shot! I've got 56 in there I think) so I'm really excited about this. I'll also be DJing my favourite ominous film scores as well as some of Gusset's lesser heard soundtrack work after Manufactured Landscapes to close the night. Can't wait!Labels: Bristol, Film, Gigs, Gusset, photography

Important Announcement
I have had to cancel my appearance at the Oxjam gig tonight due to the technical failure of my laptop. I will be reinstalling my OS when I should be parting for charity, unfortunately.
This is the first time I've ever cancelled a gig and I feel terrible about it.
If you do still go along to the gig sorry I'm not there. I have left a box of free CDs at the venue for people who turn up. Please donate to Oxfam if you take one.

Goatlab Indoor Festival Rave!!!
Trippmatic
Poland's Biggest Breakcore DJ makes his UK debut @ the Goatlab! Trippmatic has been organising gigs and playing at virtually every breakcore gig in Poland for the last two years! He did a wicked mix for Peace Off called "Break Beathoven Got Heroin" and used to live in Bristol! Check out some of his mixes here: www.myspace.com/trippmaticsk.
War Against Sleep
Goatlab brings the outdoor vibes to the back room of The Croft with a special set from local festival favourites War Against Sleep. Expect a psychedelic audio-visual feast with a goaty twist.
Michael J Rocks
As the 1manarmy collective continue to push the boundaries of live electronica, one act stands out from the rest for both the most intense live experience and for having the best comedy name. Prepare to Rock. To Michael J Rock. s.

The Gusset Bashout Lecture:
The Matrix: The Pantomime
Abstract: From folk stories and fairy tales to science-fiction and fantasy, western literature has always used metaphor and simile as devices to put across an idea or philosophic argument removed from the prejudices that may otherwise surround it. This lecture will analyse “The Matrix” series of films from the perspective of a traditional British pantomime to draw parallels between the mediums and demonstrate how this abomination of poor story telling, worse acting, and designed-to-date special effects could be better enjoyed with cross-dressing, smut and audience interaction.
'Where’s Agent Smith?'
'He’s behind you!'

Goatlab @ The Croft, Fri 18 April 2008:
Syntheme (Planet Mu / WeMe)
Lou Wood make's her Bristol debut with her phenomenal fucky acid. If you liked the The Doubtful Guest's acid rinse out at the last Goatlab you don't want to miss this. Another Planet Mu newcomer shows us how it should be done. Rumours abound about her true identity. Want to know more? Come and see for yourself.
Toecutter (System Corrupt / V/VM) - Australia
All the way from Australia, Toecutter is the original breakcore mentalist. And it's been a long time since he was last in Bristol. Having shared a house with Candi Hank in 99 and taken his name from the character in Mad Max, the desert sun must have got to him as he became the most frightening and original thing to mash it's way across musical styles in memory. Or is it just "Progressive Progressive Progrsv House"? Either way, he's a long way ahead of the rest of the game. With releases on System Corrupt, V/Vm Test, Digital Vomit, Bruchstellen, Mutant Sniper, and Death$ucker you know this must be quality.
General Disarray (Blunderphonics / Laptop Battle)
Matt Jackson one of Bristol's most talented up-and-coming breakcore producers! He is also one half of the Blunderphonics crew, who have organised many a good night down at the legendary Black Swan. He beat Parasite in the first round of Laptop Battle 5 only to be knocked out in the final by house favorite Defazed. His music is raw and full of energy, and he has also been known to play his live set entirely from a game pad using Max/MSP! See for yourself:

Knowing you are unlikely to be low on things to do over Christmas and the New Year I though playing a gig for your entertainment was just as likely to clash and interfere with you personal calendar as it was to compliment it. To overcome this problem I have whored myself liberally across as many gigs as possible this festive season. If your winter festivities are shy on Gusset, you may wish to consider attending one of the following. And if you are hardcore enough to attend all of them the sets will be different at each.
Plummet's Bristol Breakcore Christmas Carnage @ Timbuk2, Thursday 20.12.07 – feat The Teknoist, Jay Nom, the 1manarmy residence, & Gusset Radiophonic DJ set
The Goatlab @ The Croft, Friday 21.12.07 – feat Shitmat, Binray, Kilka Serco, the lab residence & Gusset live set
HIJACK Camelot - The Knights of the Turn-Table - Medieval NYE Party @ Timbuk2, 31.12.07 – feat. Dimitri from Powys, ASBO Disco, Lyricist Hobo, Cheeba, Blazey, Superisk & Wascal, & Gusset.
"Fancy Dress Encouraged: Kings & Queens, Knights & Squires, Witchcraft & Wizardry, Dragons, Jesters and Damsels in distress... Be imaginative!"
Dan Gusset's Desert Island Disks @ (CAMRA South West pub of the year 2007) The Hillgrove Porter Store, Thursday 03.01.08
Goatlab line ups are also booked up for Feb and April but I won't bore you with that now.
Here are some pretty colours:

Woo! The summer lull (also known as the festival season we didn't get booked to play in) has ended and the club nights are starting up with a vengeance. The illusive powers behind the GoatLab have been deliberating whether they want to carry on running the night, so I've stepped in as co-promoter and moved it to a new venue. It won't be restarting until December but will now have a regular slot on the last Friday of alternate months at The Croft. More news as and when.
In addition to this Gusset will be playing at the anti-war fundraiser Drop Beats Not Bombs at the Custard Factory in Birmingham on Saturday 10th November. The line-up will look something like this, although is still subject to change: Wrong Music Grott Bag Acid Experiment, STIG Noise, Mully(Acid/House), Demon Cabbage (Fill Room Full on Rave!), Teknoist, Vex Kiddy, Shitmat VS Shitnat, Gusset, Comp Winnder Set! and Wrong Music DJ's. All of this will be in the Medicine Bar and there will be loads of other stuff going on across the rest of the complex. Plus the Gusset set will include a rare live appearance by Spokesy!
The official website hasn’t been updated yet. I'll update as things come together.
P.S. Remix album release is imminent. The meeting to finalise track order and artwork is this weekend. Rush your gusset pictures in now if you want a chance of appearing on the cover!Labels: AskDrKim, Birmingham, Bristol, DropBeats, Gigs, GoatLab
