I have just been sent the official details for X-Lab hosted by Project X at the end of Feb. As you can spot if you read on that Arcade will be in be playing and I also have it on good authority that friends of Klunk - Loopz and Iron Fist of the Sun will be involved as part of the whole affair.

X-Lab:VL is a multi media performance. The show combines live music from many genres with VJs, DJs, interactive sound and light installations and one or two other surprises to create an unforgettable night out.

The night is carefully sequenced to produce an interactive fantasy journey: a seamless multi-layered flow of entertainment with action moving continuously around the venue and the audience entranced in the middle of it all.

X-Lab:VL is an event without parallel – quite simply: like nothing else out there!

Featuring:
Arcade – quirky electronic dissemblage
VJ Chromatouch – painting with light
Rich Batsford – meditative piano and instrumental epics
Shana Tova – anarcho rawk!

Well I have had some amazing response to my spamming of MySpace and now have some excellent tunes I am really excited about for the first Klunk podcast, If you do want something considered for the first (or possibly second) podcast then please get those emails to me sharpish.

I have offered my services to Project X Presents for their the show they are putting on during Feb (22nd to be precise). As part of the marketing of the event I was asked by Rob from PXP to send some history and a photo. I duely obliged spending an hour or so writing up the stuff I remembered doing. This then turned into a series of emails back and forth as Rob generated something snappy which captures the essence of the last 7 years worth of Arcade work.

We then agreed that this would make for an interesting article which may help others writing marketing material for themselves or other artists.

The email trail can be found here: http://www.projectxpresents.com/node/128

If you woule like your electronic music to be considered for the first klunk podcast please send an mp3 file including your details to arcade500@msn.com. I intend to make this a regular feature, assuming that I can gather enough submissions to make a worth while cast.

Looking forward to hearing those tunes!

Just ordered my ticket!
