Lando Kal
FUTURISTIC CHILL-OUT & HIP HOP LONE & LANDO KAL Sub Club, Glasgow, Fri 17 Aug.
Either one of the artists appearing on this double bill, the latest to celebrate the Sub Club’s 25th anniversary, would be working us up into a hot sweat, so to have both appearing together surely guarantees Glasgow’s least missable club show of the month. Heading up the bill is a live set from Werk Discs signee Lone, Nottingham’s Matt Cutler, whose futuristic chilled-out sound is heavily influenced by Edinburgh’s own Boards of Canada. He’s not doing interviews between projects, though, so it falls to Lando Kal to sell it to us, as if we needed it. ‘Lando is my middle name actually,’ laughs Berlin-based New Yorker/San Franciscan Antaeus Roy. ‘My parents were huge Star Wars fans. I’m a sucker for futuristic fantasies, what can I say?’ He doesn’t need to say anything, because the smooth, glitching sci-fi hip hop style he presents has as good as told us already. It’s a style not far removed from what the Numbers crew in Glasgow are doing, which is why he’s been friends with them since his first European tour as one half of duo Lazersword, and why the Numbers label’s first release was one of the ’Sword’s.
He points out that this won’t be a live set, more a DJ one incorporating a lot of his own music, but that will be fine by anyone who’s heard his rich, low-key old school jams on Hotflush or Stillcold. Roy’s been cultivating a solo style he describes as ‘repetitive and minimal’ for a while now, but only recently ‘decided to start putting more of an effort into getting my solo material out of hiding. Lazersword’s still in effect but it’s now more of a special project being that we both live on separate continents’. (David Pollock)

MYRIAD GENRES
(Disco) Edits or Re-edits proper noun, various styles and tempos: classic (disco) tracks with a contemporary feel, their best qualities enhanced by modern production flair. While a remix often strips instrumental parts out of an original track, replacing them with new sections, a re-edit utilises all the original parts, augmenting them either by changing the length, deleting certain sections or adding new parts.
ORIGINS 70s New York producer Tom Moulton is the true originator of the disco re-edit, while his slightly younger contemporaries, Danny Krivit (in New York), and Greg Wilson (in Manchester) were equally prolific in the late 70s and early 80s. Larry Levan and Ron Hardy mastered the art while presiding over the dancefloors at New York’s Paradise Garage and Chicago’s Music Box respectively. New York’s Kenny ‘Dope’ Gonzalez, Dimitri From Paris, Londoner Joey Negro, Cambridge’s Idjut Boys, Ray Mang and DJ Harvey have also all been re-editing disco originals since the mid-90s. KEY FIGURES Norwegian DJ Todd Terje is currently considered the don, thanks to his classy reworks of obscure and much-loved originals. Glasgow’s The Revenge alongside Edinburgh’s Craig Smith as 6th Borough Project, and Birmingham’s Mark E have experienced similar success creating utterly contemporary sounding re-edits of mainly mid-tempo disco originals in their pitched-down style. Glasgow’s Al Kent (Million Dollar Disco) employs a more purist approach, which has also won him international acclaim.
