[ soundcloud.com ]

FIGARO DE MONTMARTRE - Fresh in from france and crossing the genres of DUB, ELECTRO, and DRUM N BASS while evoking (in my estimation) an early 90's house vibe, this duo promises an amazing live show complete with rockin keyboard! check 'em out here i'm super stoked for this [ www.myspace.com ]

DIRTY BOOTS - Montreal based analog synth and soul music, evoking an end of the world motel lobby lounge right before the bombs go off. [ soundcloud.com ]

DJ FIBERGLASSPANTS - Promises to play that heavy heavy bass house from the 80's youve never heard before and then its the first ever performance of his collaboration with..

SIMON CALLED PETER - You apparently can't (and I cant) define his music as anything other than fantastic Electronic Dance Music but now you'll be able to say FIBERGLASSPANTS rapped on it. Its their first show together (of this particular music)!
[ www.noweapon.org ]

AARON MAIDEN - Co promoter of the amazing Pressure Drop and REGGAY PARTY events not to mention host of all the coolest radio shows AARON can also sling some pretty sweet vinyl to get feet moving.

the date on this is saturday october 22nd. 10 pm

saturday may 14th

We gotta lotta nerve, yeah? A dub party. Dub music. It was a long fucking winter -I dont care what the snow removal people say-, I think were all getting a little sick of hearing/feeling the mutant distorted extensions of Lady Gaga shouldered ice dub so far removed from the nerve center of musical history. What we need is warmth, depth and feeling.The DUB NERVE. nerve dub.

Come dance off your memories of the winter cold, shake away the freeze, welcome a new summer and get in touch with your roots again.



DUB NERVE

with:

K-ZAR - This mans been involved in the Toronto underground dub/roots/reggae scene for at least the past 10 years cos thats when I first heard him play and thats when I first learned that scene existed in Toronto. Having played early pin:ksox events and free outdoors across the city within and without the underground party scene as well you could say K ZAR is a well rounded dub machine who knows how to get all kinds of people moving to the music he loves. This is why otherpeoplesmusic and no weapon are proud to bring him to montreal to continue in this tradition.

[ www.myspace.com ]

Iron Will - ITS THE WEEEEEEEEEKEND!!!!!! And Will's in town to remind you. If you caught his set at our halloween party you know he can make a room move with a selection of music from an underground you never knew existed. Now Will comes back to show us exactly how far reaching (far back reaching?) his musical knowledge is and just how to make you move your feet. Plus he's a PARTY ANIMAL so be ready to wake up feeling dirty.

MakaRon - A member of legendary Polish reggae band Gedeon Jerrubaal and later a founder of Dubmatique and Another Kulture Klash you could say Maka Ron has a history with reggae and dub music, you could also say he's made some of that history. Living in Montreal now MakaRon has become an internationally recognized dub producer. This night he will playing a live set showcasing his abilty to blend new and old styles and technology while keeping us on our toes.

[ soundcloud.com ]
[ www.wix.com ]

Sikh Knowledge - One of Montreal's most experienced and cutting edge gully producers has been feeding the Island with beats, arrangements, and riddims for quite sometime. Known for fusing east Indian music theory and instrumentation with the most noble and innovative styles of hip hop known in the west, Sikh will be showcasing his dub/reggae knowledge for us on this night. And I just showcased my ability to steal a write up and make it my own. ;)

[ www.facebook.com ]
[ realistan.tumblr.com ]

Backdoor - With all this talk of tradition and history it would be a mistake for us not to give a nod to the future (the future being now), or at least a history of the future. Backdoor may be best known for his nasty electro sets but he knows a little about where the dub met the step as well and with the nerve he's got, he's willing to show you.

Aaron Maiden - Long time programmer on CKUT's Roots, Rock, Rebel radio show and organizer of the monthly Pressure Drop parties. If you know Reggae, Ska, Punk or getting drunk and naked in Montreal then you probably know Aaron. Right now he's standing on a street corner 1/2 drunk, crooning his love to his city. If yr lucky he'll be doing it at DUB NERVE too.

A cooler version of this info is available at:

[ www.noweapon.org ]

As summer draws to a close we start to feel the pressures of life's possibilities and choices, suddenly we make decisions and vows and feel the need to draw out a plan. Throughout the ending season we have let things go and more or less drifted along for a few months as best we could in order to fully enjoy our surroundings in these ideal but sometimes oppressive climes. Water often taking a large role in our activities.

Suddenly things are changing and it's sometimes hard to take. We not only feel bogged down by the pressure to act responsibly but also by the pressure of not wanting to let go. Not wanting to let this season end. Our bodies perhaps fearing the cold. Wanting to bask in the sun and to use a pool, some drinks and some friends as weapons of defence. Our bodies have become so saturated with the joys of summertime fun that we find it difficult to fathom letting go and moving forward. We have allowed the density of heat, water and the elements to take over and now that its time to take flight we are held down by the collective desire to party.

To deal with this transition, we created waterlogged. It's an end of season showcase of video, photo, performance and live sound representing the collective shaking off of the water and the movement towards new beginnings. Forward movement.

ONE LAST SUMMERTIME. ONE LAST SWIM.

Eastern Bloc presents SIGHTandSOUND: an immersive video experience, over 2 nights, incorporating the work of 20 artists from Canada and the United States. Combining various forms of digital arts, these artists will collaborate in a manipulation of the space at the Eastern Bloc through the use of six projection screens, encapsulating the audience in waves of sound and video. The artists’ works will travel from one screen to the other, in random sequences, creating an onslaught of sensory stimuli.

Part I (May 29) is co-curated by Eliane Ellbogen (artistic director, Eastern Bloc) and Marie-Helene Parant (Share MTL). Part II (May 30) is curated by Eliane Ellbogen.

SIGHTandSOUND: Part I will captivate its audience with 2 hours of experimental audiovisual explorations. The works presented willencompass an interactive, ambient, and minimal approach to audio and visual collaborations amongst the following artists:

Katherine Liberovskaya (mtl) and Eric Létourneau (mtl); Marie-Hélène Parant (mtl), Angela di Lauro (mtl), and Ambroise Vesac (L'islet); Chris Jordan (nyc) and Maxime Rioux (mtl); David Linton (nyc); CHiKA (nyc) and Jim Bell (mtl); and Eric Filion - Nokami (mtl) and Michael Trommer (to)

SIGHTandSOUND: Part II is a spasmic array of video mash-up works by artists using a strong audio-visual link in their repertoire. In contrast to Part I, transitions from one screen to another will be quick, sound will be fast and loud, and videos will be provocative and intense. Works will be shown by the following artists:

Jubal Brown (to), Beewoo (mtl), Ouananiche (mtl), Agor (mtl), Pete O’Hearn (to), Nwodtlem (to), Bear Witness (ottawa), and Meat Parade (gatineau)

-------------------------------

Eastern Bloc présente SONetVUE : une immersion totale des arts médiatiques. SONetVUE, un événement sur deux soirs, incorpore les œuvres de 20 artistes canadiens et américains. La combinaison de son et vidéo permettra aux artistes de jouer avec l’espace du Eastern Bloc par la manipulation de six écrans de projection, qui encercleront le public avec des vagues de son et de lumière. Les œuvres traverseront l’espace, d’un écran à l’autre, en séquences aléatoires. Le résultat : un assaut de stimulus sensoriels pour les spectateurs.

QUICK NOTES:

a couple of changes have been made to our lineup.

RADIATE and IRON WILL have died in a fiery romantic paper plane crash over the riviera so obviously they cant play on friday. heres hoping their ressurected souls make it out next time.

They will be replaced by THE THUG OF LOVE and SKEETER respectively.

skeeter can be found at : [ skeeter.aklass.org ]

the thug of love is probbbly under yr bed, cuddling with yr girlfriend.

also of note: visuals for the night (when they're not being done by the video artists) will be supplied by DISSONANCE ( [ www.pinksox.ca ] )

The premise is simple: 2 cities, 16 dj’s, 1/2 hour sets. Montreal. Toronto. Montreal. Toronto. Etc… less like a battle, more like a domestic dispute. And like a domestic dispute… there are no winners. Just a lot of fun.

We will begin the evening with a performance by special guests: DREAMCATCHER.

With:

TORONTO:

ERROL – base war, math hooker – having thrown the legendary math hooker parties with knifehandchop and currently organizing the highly entertaining base war events as well as having released 2 albums under his SINCERE TRADE moniker this man know music. Expect danceable mashups and references to all genres of electronic music.

IRON WILL – host of a number of dub and reggae weeklies in Toronto. The iron man is bringing that ol’ school new wave post rock sound this time. Just how you love it.

DJ BLNDR, - pin:ksox. Lost compound – winner of round 2 of breakcore elimination challenge. blndr is an organizer of the sporadic and wikked lost compound.events. blndr spins a harsh raga hardcore jungle like you’ve never heard. Make yr head spin!

NWODTLEM – wrong music, hmcr – a veteran breakcore tape mixer, nwodtlem is now giving people spontaneous erections with his JAWA style video mixing. Look it up.

RADIATE – pin:ksox – radiate brings that gangsta shit. R’n’b jams and southern discomfort. Na’ mean?

LUKE PERIL – Toronto expat and current montreal resident. Luke got so home-sick he insisted on playing for the Toronto team. Expect some frenetic breakcore spazzouts.

THE FIRST SEED – lost compound – performing everything from electronic harsh noise to live jazz to pounding breakcore madness this man never leaves one feeling underwhelmed. You will go home dizzy.

OTHERPEOPLESMUSIC – pin:ksox – ol’ school pin:ksox figurehead and one half or the minds behind the breakcore elimination challenge events, otherpeoplesmusic plays just that.


MONTREAL:

1-SPEED BIKE – broklyn beats, constellation – former drummer for all the bands you like to reference, 1-speed also makes some of the weirdest little electronic ditties. His take on the world is certainly unique and makes for some fun ass sets.

GAMBLETRON – fresh off her european tour, improvisational/soundcollage maverick GAMBLETRON played a drunken set here at the bloc that had everyone in the room captivated and entertained. Here’s to donning the scaffold and downing some drinks for us again!

DJULIE D. – having toured the world playing records before settling in montreal, Julie is also a winner of breakcore elimination challenge (the first ever). Julie plays a mixture of jungle, electro and breaks that’s sure to square her up nicely with blndr.

SUNDAY OCTOBER 8TH PIN:KSOX AND ISOLATE RECORDS PRESENT:

REPEATED MOTEL TENSION

WITH:

FLUORESCENT GREY - RECORDLABELRECORDS, CALIFORNIA- Northern California based producer Robbie Martin began making and performing electronic music at age fifteen with nothing more than a 486 pc, visual basic programs, record players and a homemade acoustic drum machine utilizing toy car motors and pulleys. Since appearing on RRR and Ovenguard Records compilations; his style has evolved over the years from what could be described as experimental noise to a more rhythmically cohesive, collage of sounds. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Farmer’s Manual, Zoviet France, Coil, Art of Noise and Bartok; Robbie's audio experimentation has expanded to include custom made software, surround sound field recording, conceptual patchwork video sampling, and visual synthesizer art. Expect noisy beats that induce hallucinations.

BELLADONNAKILLZ - t.o. sublight records, dross:tik - BDK will forever be known primarily as one of the two rock stars (along with the Big Bopper ) who perished with Buddy Holly when their private plane crashed in the midst of a Midwest tour in 1959. At the time, BDK had just established themselves as one of the most promising young talents in rock & roll, just missing the top of the charts with their ballad " Kill Bella Donna," and recording a pioneering blend of rock and Jungle music with its almost equally popular flipside, "Yeah Hell Yeah." More than almost any other rock stars who died prematurely, it's difficult to assess their potential; they have only just begun to make records.

JULIE D - mtl - playing the tightest sets since your birth, julie d. rocks a party like no one else. drunker than a sailor on shore leave she ll keep the party going until the ships burnt down and all the rats have fled.
