HOLDRONS ARCADE, 135A RYE LANE, PECKHAM, LONDON, SE15 4ST
Overload Liverpool join us at Inverted Audio Record Store in Peckham on Saturday 8th June (5-8pm) to celebrate release of an exclusive 12-inch compilation - with DJ performances from The Cyclist and Waxtek.
Limited to just 50 units, 'OVRLPL002' is a 5-track white label compilation featuring freaked-out electro, warm house, deep dub cuts, and gorgeous ambient from The Motorist, The Cyclist, Waxtek, Puncta and Aaron Thomas.
Born in Northern Ireland and now based in Liverpool, Overload Liverpool label boss Andrew Morrison aka The Cyclist is best known for creating a lo-fi, analog, psychedelic club sound that he aptly defines as “tape throb”. Influenced by an eclectic assortment of music ranging from Krautrock and 60’s Psychedelia to House, Techno, Jungle, Breakbeat, Trance and Dub.
In addition to The Cyclist moniker, Morrison produces under a number of other aliases, namely Buz Ludzha, Gongue, Indopan and The Motorist, on iconic labels such as Stones Throw, Leaving Records, 100% Silk, Hypercolour, All City and Music Is For Losers, as well as his own label Tape Throb Records.
Morrison pushes the unique distortion of magnetic tape to its extremes, crafting mesmerising textures and grooves through layers of synths, samples, vocals, battered analog drum machines and heavily-processed live instruments resulting in electronic music that is both visceral and cerebral, replete with deeply nostalgic yet eminently contemporary undertones.
We’ll have vinyl copies of 'OVRLPL002' on sale and free beer from Brixton Brewery. The event starts at 5pm ends at 8pm.
INVERTED AUDIO EXCLUSIVE
VARIOUS ARTISTS - OVRLPL002 [OVERLOAD LIVERPOOL}
THE MOTORIST, THE CYCLIST, WAXTEK, PUNCTA, AARON THOMAS
Liverpool-based label boss Morrison highlights two of his distinct and dissociative styles. On the front end of the A-side, his The Motorist alias provides us with a freaked-out formant-filtered electro that’s bursting at the lips. On the back end, a deep yet bright house cut from his The Cyclist alias, with warm warbling synths layered over his Wurlitzer electric piano and suitably grooved and jaunty beats.
To kick off the deeper B-side of the 12”, Wax Tek, a founder of the Liverpool Soundsystem crew Polyone Audio, hits us right in the chest with his dubbed-out breakbeat wonder, Get Set, which diverges through Balearic, bass music, a delirious breakdown, and hard-hitting breakbeats.
Deeper still, the second B-side from Puncta, another Liverpool-based artist, who last year came to light with their release on Sputnik One’s N-Face, dives into the deep Arctic seas with Snow Crab, an exercise in dubbed-out electro-style bass music.
Finally, Belfast-based Aaron Thomas brings the 12” EP to a fitting closure with Concert², which, washing over the listener, dances like opulent drapes with its ethereal synths that crash to and fro.
