Some great news blogged about by www.createdinbirmingham.com , which is that a new radio station modelled (apparently) on Resonance FM will be setting up shop in the Custard Factory. Details are a little bit slim on the ground now, apart from it appears that they will be focusing on the internet and restricted broadcasts as a mechanism for getting heard.

I am hoping that this new initiative will be recepetive to the electronic / electro acoustic stuff that Birmingham artists are brilliant at producing and don’t end up focusing purely on the mainstream commercial end of the spectrum.

I have using google analytics to monitor how people find out about this blog and there much of the traffic actually comes through google searches. I therefore decided to have a look at the search terms used and have found that if you google Cuabse Sidechain, not only does www.klunk.org appear 3rd in the list, but the tutorial I created for Cubase 4.1 Sidechain appears second! Also if you type klunk into Google, this site is second in the rankings.

Robot vs Dinosaur turned out to be a brilliant night! Arc Vel performed a crisp set of chilled beats and Portmanteau massaged the audience into some serious head nodding and body twitching with their blend of groove heavy glitch electronica. The djs played some crowd pleasing tunes also - I witnessed the barman moving around a bit to Squarepusher - Red Hot Car. So all in all a way top night in a perfectly formed space. Looking forward to the next one.

Catch you at RvD tomorrow?

Just been up to a bit of surfing and looking at the lovely www.robotvsdinosaur.co.uk blog. I thought I would shamelessly steal one of their posts and in return plug the night again (hope it is a fair trade).

Well anyways have a look and listen at this fab Rubiks Cube style video from Bristol’s Portmanteau and come on over to the Island bar tomorrow night to catch them live.

This is looking like a permenant fixture now. So go out and support.

20th June @ the Island Bar.
