TOP 5 LIVE ACTS AT SIMPLE THINGS
Launched in Bristol in 2011, this exciting one-day electronic festival is now coming to Glasgow. Matching international acts with the best local talent, the focus is on darker, experimental live shows, with the lineup reading like a Warp fan’s Fantasy Festival spreadsheet. Here’s our top five highlights. Autechre Sonic visionaries or mad men with machines? When the Rochdale duo play, there is some hype, and rightly so: they created a whole new sound in 90s electronica. This brand new live show has just been premiered in Krakow for the label’s 25th year celebrations, after which it visits Brussels, Utrecht and Glasgow. In other words: this is special. Clark Another brand new live show from an incredible Warp artist exploring the machine- meets-club, techno-as-sculpture route, but this time with mind- bendingly good oscilloscope visuals. Immersive, cinematic, an experience: search ‘Phosphor’ online for a teaser. Nightmares on Wax Another long-time-coming performance as NoW (pictured) last played the city in 2006. They return with a full live band playing classics from the likes of Smokers Delight and Carboot Soul. Lone ft Konx-om-Pax The Nottingham hip hop meets soft electronica artist teams up with Glasgow’s own Konx-om-Pax for a live a/v set showcasing his latest album, Reality Testing. General Ludd The result of two guys meeting at Glasgow School of Art and staying up all night to make music. With the excellent Woo Ha / Brothers and Sisters 12” currently out, an intriguing live show awaits. See preview, page 80. (Rosie Davies)
