To celebrate of the opening of the Skinnipants store in Jingumae, we are going all out and throwing the baddest Halloween bash yet. For the third edition of our BOO! Halloween extravaganza, we are switching it up with a new venue, Fifty – Seven , and a true underground mix of house, funk, and disco music with none other than THE REVENGE hailing from Glasgow, Scotland. After listening to his Resident Advisor Podcast a few months ago, we simply could not pass up on the chance to fly this talent over. Also joining us from Chile is Francisco Allendes, winner of the Patagonica Dj Contest whose recent productions on mega label CADENZA have found themselves in heavy rotation in the record bags of heavyweights such as Luciano and Ricardo Villalobos. Equally talented as a DJ, he has featured at festivals such as Creamfields in the UK and the infamous Love Parade in Germany. He will be playing a special deep funk assuring a high musical quality for the night. In the spirit of the new Skinnipants concept, we invite all the freaks to come out for one night of mayhem on the darkest night of the year. Get down in your freakiest costumes for the third edition of the city’s top Halloween bash, BOO!
THE REVENGEとして知られるGraeme Clark は、10代前半で楽曲制作を始め、歪んだサウンドのエレクトロニックミュージックを父から譲り受けた古いドラムマシンとサンプラーで作っていた。そして両親の持っていたレコードコレクションや、80年代のラジオから流れていたロック、ソウル、ファンク、そして当時急成長していたレイヴシーンに影響を受け、そういった音の分析や再構築といったプロセスをスタートさせたのだった。
Graeme Clark A.K.A THE REVENGE began producing in his early teenage years, making a skewed blend of electronic music using a couple of his dad’s old drum machines and a sampler. Influenced by his parent’s collection of rock, soul and funk as well as eighties daytime radio and the burgeoning rave scene, he began the process of dissecting and re-imagining the music.
Productions for his own labels Instruments Of Rapture, Five20East and his DJ edits for L.E.S.S. Productions have had across-the-board support from scene heavyweights including Danny Krivit, Jimpster, Radio Slave, Prins Thomas, Fabrice Lig, Todd Terje, The Unabombers, Karizma, SWAG, Dan Ghenacia, Gilles Peterson, Ashley Beedle, Domu, Kissy Sellout, Joe Claussell, Stuart Patterson, Atjazz, Bill Brewster, Phil Asher, Tim Sweeney and more.
DJ work over the years has included spots with Jimpster, Joe Claussell, Domu, Mark E, Mad Mats, Seiji, Yousef, Jeff Mills, Jazzy Jeff, MAW, Sinden, James Lavelle and more.
Francisco Allendes Biography (Andes Music / Cadenza / Kling Klong) www.myspace.com/franciscoallendes
フランシスコ・アジェンデスは、室内管弦楽団と民族音楽バンドでバイオリンとパフォーマンスを8年間学んだのち、17歳の時にプログレッシブロックとシ ンセサイザーサウンドにめぐりあった。それは彼が初めて電子楽器に触れた経験であり、彼を瞬く間に新しい音とエレクトロニックミュージックの探求に駆り立てたのだった。 2003年に9曲入りの自主制作ファーストアルバム、「Vocas Locas」が好評を博したことをきっかけに、2004年3月にはバランタインズ・パルスにより最優秀国内エレクトロニックアーティスト賞を受賞した。このアルバムリリースの3ヶ月後、EP「Cyberpunk」をリリースし、チリの各都市をツアーで回った。2005年4月には2度目の最優秀国内エレクトロニックアーティスト賞を受賞し、同年5月に3作目、「Edicion Limitada de bajo Presupuesto」をリリース。そしてチリ各都市を 再びツアーした。
After 8 years of studying violin and performing with chamber orchestras and folkloric bands, Francisco discovered the progressive rock and the sound of the synthesizers at the age of 17. That was his first contact with electronic instruments, which encouraged him to start researching for new sounds and discover electronic music.
On 2003, he releases his first album, Vacas Locas, an independent CD with 9 tracks that was very well received and triggered the prize of BEST NATIONAL ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN given by Ballantines Pulse on March 2004. 3 months after Vacas Locas, Francisco releases Cyberpunk EP an independent 12” with 4 new tracks, that made him start touring different cities of Chile showing his work. In April 2005, Francisco won for second time the prize BEST NATIONAL ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN given by Ballantines Pulse, and in May he released his third work Edicion Limitada de bajo Presupuesto touring different cities of Chile.
Francisco is today recognized like one of the best djs and producers of techno of a new era of chilean artists. He has shared stage with artists like Alejandro Vivanco, Savas Pascalidis, Luciano, Tigerskin, John Selway, Martin Eyerer, Alexi Delano, Bando, Miss Dinky and played in big gigs like Techfest, Open Rave, Southfest, Creamfields, Love Parade and showed his music in Spain, Germany, Holland, Brasil, Ecuador, Colombia.
