RICARDO VILLALOBOS Pogo Vogue, the Bongo Club. Edinburgh. Fri 16 May
Never let it be said that DJs are characterless. In the course of a 15 minute interview, Ricardo Villalobos has time to rave about artichokes (‘they are very good for you — they clean you up'), enthuse wildly about Fabric‘s soundsystem (‘I was on the dancefloor jumping ten times in the air‘) and rail against his new computer (‘It is the newest of the newest. but it doesn‘t function’). Villalobos is attempting to use the aforementioned machine to remix Plastikman‘s ‘Panic Attack’ but, despite the many stumbling blocks, remains in good humour.
The Chile-born Berliner has been DJing since the late 80$, playing across Europe and at Cocoon in Ibiza. He's Ritchie Hawtin’s favourite DJ. gained substantial acclaim for last year’s ‘Halma‘ and has an album. Alcachofa (it‘s Spanish for ‘artichoke‘), out in the summer. ‘They are melody percussion tracks,‘ he says. ‘I think the future of club music is between house and techno. Techno can be too hard and too fast, house can be too slow and too boring. You want something in the middle, and that‘s where you get the best reaction to the music.‘
It sounds like Villalobos should fit the Pogo Vogue ethos nicely. (James Smart)
