Moritz Von Oswald & Tikiman @ Subclub

Ahem, excuse me if I have a little "Squee" moment to myself.

The last time they played the subby (back when they were still Rhythm and Sound, along with Mark Ernestus) I was persuaded by friends, amidst much arguing, that Hawtin at the Arches was the best thing we could do with our Friday night. Not knowing that Pressure endlessly repeated their massive headliners year after year - Hawtin being the big hitter for a good couple of Septembers in a row - and this wasn't exactly a one-chance-only night, I shelled out £20 bucks on the Arches. Not awful, but hardly the best. Plus, being forced to hang out in the middle arch for (pet hate) DJ Sneak's hands-in-the-air hook-fest really shat on my night in a way that none of my crazy-eyed, jaw-twitching, flailing mates could fathom.

Anyway, Slam-bashing aside. Moritz Von Oswald has been behind some of the most awesome dub and techno for well over 20 years, from Wackies, to Chain Reaction, to the M-series and Main Street Records, whilst Paul St Hilarie / Tikiman has what is best described as a phenomenal voice. And they're playing in a 400-capacity club with a monster soundsystem, whose only real failing is the absence of a decent pint.

Do we really need to tell you why this is going to be completely and utterly epic?

Off to get ticket tomorrow.

Skudge on Animal Farm

Animal Farm, as anyone in Glasgow who love's the techno'll know, throw excellent parties.
The trio have been on it since we came across them in Soundhaus, and are currently rocking the Sublclub, at least in part down to an unassailable taste in guests. Fortunately for anyone outwith that dear green place, they also represent once a week on their Subcity show.
I'm listening to the most recent episode, featuring a full hour of animal on animal action from Quail and Turtle and a live set from scandinavian production unit, Skudge.

Shit hot to tidy the house to, I can  only imagine what this would sound like over the subby system.

Skudge on Animal Farm

Tune in next week when they'll be announcing their guest for the sixth birthday. If past form is any guide to future, shit will bang.

Quail - Vinyl club mix

Vinyl Club Mix - Quail by Animal Farm
Having not checked in on the Animal Farm soundcloud for a wee while I was pleasantly surprised to come across this mix by Quail to kickstart their role as part of The Vinyl Club. It's deep, dubby techno, with flickers of house throughout. No bloody tracklisting though. Arse.

New Radio - Animal Farm in Session

Listen to Little Rock’s latest show online on Radio Magnetic. It features Glasgow’s Animal Farm DJ collective with their trademark deep, dubby and dark techno.

Hitting us up once more with a hefty dose of deep dub and bone-crunching techno, Animal Farm return to Little Rock.

Rising stars of Glasgow’s techno scene, Animal Farm are some of Little Rock’s favourite DJs, blending dub, techno and house. They’ve rocked everywhere from basement parties and front rooms, to the Soundhaus and the Subclub, promoting names as legendary as DJ Pete, or as contemporary as Ben Klock and Sandwell District.
