As expected, the CA dates on my tour went well! I ended up playing three sets (about 4 and a half hours of mixing total) on Saturday in SF- Futurebreaks FM, Virgin Megastore and Anu Bar.

17 June 2004

I have to post the entry from Simon Reynold's blog here. Very kind and inspirational words-

Offshore presents Troubled Waters, mixed by DJ Clever (Offshore)

"Bit of a turn-up for the books this one--the best drum'n'bass mix-CD I've heard in... probably six and a half years. Since it all went crap, in other words. This is like the last six years never happened--the one-bar loop, the grrrr-grrrr B-line, the Optical-damaged pounding aerobic tedium of all it. An alternate history taking off from Source Direct and the later, still-good Reinforced and those precious few Metalheadz moments, spliced with some Bukem-ite aqua-funk-but-with-balls. Not mash-up, not ragga, but (Soundmurderer & Remarc hindsight-adjustment withal) that was never all that jungle had to offer, was it? I suppose this is more properly described as drum & bass. The breaks still break, the bass actually moves (rhythmically and melodically) rather than just riffing Bad Company-style--but it's not anthemy; indeed the fractured flow aesthetic makes it quite a tracky experience. Stand-out subsequence for me is probably Intex Systems/'Drum Track 1'[ruff!!!] >>Sileni/'Twitchy Droid Leg'[TITLE!!! And an accurate description!]>>Paradox/'I Get A Kickback' [full-kit funkspasm], but really it's all good; DJ Clever takes you on the proverbial 'journey,' right through to a lovely idyll-coda with Alaska's 'Rare Earth'. Nice to see some old Moving Shadow bods in the mix--Justice, and Sean O'Keeffe of 2BadMice/Kaotic Chemistry/Deep Blue fame, which last moniker he's still trading under here. The tunes are all on Offshore BTW. Shimmering rainforesty beat-foliage and texturhythmic mayhem, Troubled Waters'll Kodwofy your bodymind. It reminds me of the last time I really brocked out to D&B in BOTH full polyriddim delirium AND absolute present tense (as opposed to time-travel-tinged experiences a la Ripley, Soundmurderer, etc), and that would have been this set by Dego MacFarlane in 1998, an almost-empty basement at this club in Manhattan called Speeeed. The music danced me. I get that feeling from this CD and it makes me hungry to hear Clever (a chap called Brett who works at Breakbeat Science and runs Offshore) drop it live through an engulfing system. Plus the cover is a cute seascape picture. Out in mid-July."

28 May 2004

"Troubled Waters" sees release on July 13th 2004. If anyone is interested in booking a date for the tour, please get in touch. My trip to Iceland is 100% confirmed, I will be at Kapital on Thursday, July 1st. Be sure to pick up the June issue of BPM to find guest reviews by yours truly and also an Offshore feature in the August issue of Knowledge. For those of you in Germany, be sure to check out the 1/2 page feature in De:bug. OSR009 and SUICIDEOSR001 will promo in the next 2 weeks, so be sure to watch your shops for those. Keep checking back, as more events will be posted as they are booked and hopefully I will be in your town.

18 January 2004

If the past few weeks are any indication as to how 2004 will go down, then I am very excited. The Ohm Resistance/Offshore split 10" series has been very well received, the Seba, OSR007, made it to reviews in both ATM and Knowledge and XLR8R is doing an Offshore label profile in March. Not to mention a bunch of other projects that are coming together, which include a Clever mix of all Offshore tracks for Single Cell music, a follow up Ohm Resistance/Offshore Series and the mastering of OSR008, ASC/Sileni, and OSR009, Nucleus + Paradox.
