Manchester Warehouse Project curated by Four Tet

The Warehouse Project
Beneath Piccadilly Train Station
Manchester M1 2HG

9pm – 5am

Along with Kieran Hebden, we've put together an incredible roster of talent for a one off special at Warehouse Project 2010. The sheer breadth and variety of the acts performing on the night mirrors his wide range of influences and musical touchstones as an artist himself. From live experimentation and freeform jazz, to luminaries of the deep house and minimal techno scenes and the latest crop of post dubstep producers from the UK, all the acts share a common trait with the headliner, showing no fear of pushing musical boundaries and forms to their limit.

As well as a headline live performance by Four Tet himself, he is joined by labelmate Caribou and Detroit legend Theo Parrish will be flying in for one of his famed sets. Border Community’s James Holden and Nathan Fake will both be playing, as will precocious WHP resident Jamie XX and the enigmatic man in the mask Zomby. Up and coming young producers such as Actress, James Blake and Mount Kimbie all represent the generation of UK talent that came after Four Tet, all owing him a creative debt for paving the way forward with his illustrious and bold body of work.

After the success of his show at 229 earlier this year, we are pleased to announce a new JAMIE LIDELL show. Jamie’s third album, ‘Compass’ was released on May 17th and has garnered much critical acclaim, even landing him a chance to support Prince in Belgium earlier this month. Famed for his largely improvised shows, Jamie constructs his tracks live, voicing and layering right in front of your eyes, effortlessly forging clanking electro riffs and deathprod funk grooves.

PRAISE FROM THE PRESS

‘Disparate elements are held together by Lidell's gifted vocal and songwriting talents that are both a nod to great music of the past and a taste of tomorrow's sounds.’ – Rough Trade

“Jamie Lidell has shifted boundaries, moved from style to style. On his new album 'Compass' the producer comes closer than ever to defining his multi-faceted sound, to pinning his ideas down onto one disc.” – Clash

“a neo-psychedelic ode, planting romantic avowals amid arid textures.”
- New York Times

"elegantly warped love songs…(a) blend of creamy come-ons and fuzzy beats"
- Rolling Stone

Lidell's previous albums have tried to reconcile his two loves; electronica and classic soul. On Compass, the globe wandering Englishman might have squared the circle'
- Uncut

Of Montreal play London’s Koko this autumn. Their songs soar and weave with energy and goodwill, daring anyone who hears them to walk away without a smile on their face. Listening to OF MONTREAL, you might think that singer Kevin Barnes is missing the angst gene. But the longer you listen, the more you start to realize that maybe missing the angst gene is a blessing. It allows Kevin to explore more fully his crazily creative ideas and to make wondrous music, drawing on influences from the Byrds or even the Mamas And The Papas; the group's songs are all sweet pop ditties, as suitable for campfire-singing as stage performance.

Of their legendary live show: Make no mistake: a Kevin Barnes-led Of Montreal concert is a well-choreographed affair. It leaves not a second to the between songs audience-band banter and request-shouts for which many rock concerts are known and loved. But that cost is more than returned in entertaining spectacle.

Indeed, OM concerts risk being seen as theater whose soundtracks threaten to take over the performance. But the reverse is actually the case. They are tight live versions of impressively creative yet patently poppy studio productions– Blog Critics



Holly Miranda – Borderline show // Bear In Heaven – The Field Remix

HOLLY MIRANDA grew up singing in church, learning piano at age 6 and picking up the guitar at 14, around the time she began writing songs. At the age of 16, she moved to New York, dropping out of high school and finishing her degree through correspondence. She scored a major record deal by the time she was 17, but has since found a much more fitting home on XL, who released The Magician's Private Library to great applaud this year.

We're lucky enough to be hosting her at The Borderline on the 26 of July.

Pitchfork are hosting a super new remix of BEAR IN HEAVEN's Ultimate Satisfaction by The Field.

From Pitchfork:
As previously reported, Brooklyn synth-gazers Bear in Heaven are set to reissue last year's BNM'd album Beast Rest Forth Mouth September 14 via Hometapes. The reissue will come with a bonus disc of remixes from notables such as High Places, Studio, Jesu's Justin K. Broadrick, and minimal techno mastermind Axel Willner, aka the Field. The Field's rework of Beast Rest Forth Mouth standout "Ultimate Satisfaction" is available above.

For this eight-minute-plus remix, Willner takes the original tune and dips it in a bath of warm, tumbling drum beats and wavering synths, cutting and pasting vocalist Jon Philpot's yearning calls.

After a 5-year hiatus, JUNIP have returned to work on a new album and play a live European tour. Junip is most well known as the band of José González, known for his solo covers of Joy Division, the Knife and Massive Attack, but with influences ranging from Neu! to John Martyn, Junip sound mostly like Junip. They take González’s softly plucked guitar and unhurried vocals and pair them with a louder sound and underlying current of hypnotic rhythms. They craft their indie folk into dark, moody and sometimes haunting songs, while still keeping the beauty that made González’s solo work famous in the first place.

PRAISE FROM THE PRESS:

“Their sound is a mix of nylon stringed guitar, his distinctive voice, organs, analogue synths and drums. The songs are often dynamic, melodic and shadowy.” – Rough Trade

“José González is a sight to behold live, with his soothingly lucid vocals leading you along a wonderful journey of transient bliss; it’s nothing short of magical.” – Subba-culture
