On Saturday, 1st December 2012, Shift & Cubik proudly present a Perc Trax showcase in Malta, including the return of label head Perc (Perc Trax | CLR | London) and the Maltese debut of Ancient Methods (Perc Trax | Fondation Sonore | Berlin).
Perc – 2hr DJ Set
Ali Wells or Perc as some like to call him is a humble UK based Techno monster. If you’re familiar with his composition’s you probably know what a shotgun to the face feels like, but Perc is also more then just a blatant dancefloor bad-boy. Showing off his experimental and industrial evil twin last year with his Wicker & Steel LP, aswell as signing more daring and forward thinking artists to his Perc Trax imprint. If you’re not familiar with Perc, we suggest you get down to Brown Alley in Melbourne this Friday to see what he’s all about.
Ancient Methods – Live
There’s something about the fearsome crunch of Ancient Methods‘ sounds that defies dry technical description and demands that you go over the top, whether in talking about it or moving to it. Which isn’t to say they make headbanging music – the “funk” part of their pitch black techno war funk is as important as anything, and their tracks have a good healthy dose of bump’n’grind running through them, even if that grinding is as much angle-grinder as boggling. The raw edges, thick-layered sound and general old-school soundsystem-in-an-industrial-building kick has leapt out amidst the minimal orthodoxy, creating a massive buzz over a few beautifully marbled pieces of vinyl with medieval etchings on the labels, and prompting suggestions of a new industrial forward movement in the techno scene.
