Two Lone Swordsmen DJ set — Haywire Sessions on Groovetech Radio (2001-05-31)
Опубликовано: 23 мая 2015 г.Two Lone Swordsmen on Groovetech Radio in 2001.
The Two Lone Swordsmen are British house DJ and producer Andrew Weatherall and studio engineer Keith Tenniswood. Formed in early 1996, following the dissolution of Weatherall's influential Sabres of Paradise techno act, the Swordsmen have explored a variety of styles, from electro and 4/4 techno to post punk and downtempo in later years. Originally they released material on the label Emissions Audio Output, run by Weatherall. However, the small nature of the operation limited the duo's success and they subsequently signed to Warp Records, making them labelmates with acts such as Autechre and Boards of Canada, as well as setting up the Rotters Golf Club label for their more dancefloor-friendly output under various other guises.
In 2004 they released From the Double Gone Chapel, exhibiting more of a late 1970s dub and post punk sound than their previous work, influenced heavily by groups like PiL. It was released with the single Sex Beat, a cover of the popular Gun Club song. Their latest album, Wrong Meeting, was released in April 2007, with Wrong Meeting II following a month after. Set solidly in the dub rock vein they explored on From the Double Gone Chapel, the duo venture into sleezy country and LCD Soundsystem-style punk funk disco.
These sets were were originally streamed in real media in the early days of online streaming radio. Unfortunately, you'll have to excuse the poor quality.

A Look Into the Album: «Poisson Soluble» is the first album ever produced by the now legendary breakcore artist Igorrr and shows his experimentation in looking for his own sound throughout the production. Because of the highly experimental nature of this album, it has become a great way to introduce people to many aspects of IDM, while keeping them sane at the same time. Compared to later works which featured songs that would murder your ears in a rhythmic fashion with a dose of schizophrenia, «Poisson Soluble» is extremely tame and is missing many of the staples heard in more popular and recent works of Igorrr. (most notably the singers)
Like any Gautier Serre (Igorrr) composition, his precision and controlled chaos gives listeners a batch of wonderful ear candy that never fails to impress. If you're looking for a calm, yet powerful freakshow of music… then «Poisson Soluble» is just for you.
