Bass Cartel: G-Dub (Sub Zero + Original Sin)

** TAG your names in this event for 3 ENTRY before 11.30pm ** The Bass Cartel is prepping for it\'s second hit within Brighton\'s zona rosa. Our second sicario\'s: G-Dub. MAIN ROOM: G-Dub (Sub Zero + Original Sin) Agro Arcane Side Effects DJ Competition Winner ROOM 2: Chary Nicks Jake Compton DJ Competition Winners Tickets: skiddle.com/e/13309143/ Adam met up with Jake at college, and thats where the infamous Generation Dub was forged. However, it wasnt long before the pair realised that Music College, far from teaching them the skills required to create the kind of beats their musical heroes had inspired them with, was actually a pointless pursuit and they both decided to quit to concentrate on their music at home. The track that truly placed them into the dancefloors consciousness was their first 12 for Formation, which included the awesome steppy beast Body Snatchers. Caned by absolutely everyone from Grooverider to J Majik, Body Snatchers was Generation Dub\'s first anthem, and established them as a dancefloor force to be reckoned with, and leading to subsequent releases on Formation. They also found the time to set up their own imprint, Propaganda, which they see as an outlet for their more experimental work under their G Dub moniker, and also a place for nurturing new artists, such as Adams brother Taxman. After parting company with Formation, DJ Hype approached them to join his True Playaz camp, which was an offer they could not refuse. They have now separated as G-Dub, signed to Hypes new label Real Playaz and gone their own ways to create two of the biggest Jump Up Drum and Bass producers, Original Sin and Sub Zero.

NoöSphere: Mindfulness In A Hyper-Connected World

Scientists and meditation gurus alike have sung the praises of mindfulness as a technique we can harness to improve our mental wellbeing. Whilst living in an age of hyper-connectivity often perpetuates mental distress, perhaps we can use technology as a tool to connect with ourselves, regulate our emotions and regain control over our minds and bodies. Join us for an hour-long journey through three immersive experiences, inviting you to breathe, embody and visualise mindfulness.

Thomas Truax Plays Bristol + The Billy Shinbone Show

Thomas Truax (pronounced troo-aks) is an American singer/musician, inventor and multi-media artist. One of the most imaginative characters on the pop music fringe, since the year 2000 Thomas has been traveling the world performing with his evolving “band” of bizarre self-made Harry Partch-esque instruments including a motorized drum machine made of bike wheels called ‘Mother Superior’ and a pimped-up Dr. Seuss-ian Gramophone called ‘The Hornicator’, as well as his venerable resonator guitar ‘Hank’. Time Out magazine has dubbed him “The king of home-made instruments” while Splendid magazine called him “one of the five or ten best singer/songwriters in the world that you’ve never heard of…an exceptional talent, unique and resistant to comparison, yet fairly accessible even to casual listeners.” Truax crafts rich, poetically evocative songs about insects, trees, technology, and a lifelong obsession with things lunar, including various reasons ‘Why Dogs Howl at The Moon’. Notable supporters and collaborators include Jarvis Cocker, Duke Special, Richard Hawley, Amanda Palmer, Brian Viglione (of the Dresden Dolls/Violent Femmes) and the late author Terry Pratchett. Thomas Truax performing in Hastings Thomas performing in Hastings, England 2015 Photo by Mark Richards Born in Denver, Colorado, as a young boy Thomas attempted to build a synthesizer out of an old radio. He put on magic shows and made stop-motion animated films with a Super 8 camera. He later studied film making at NYU. In his “day job years” he did time as an animator for MTV‘s hit series ‘Celebrity Deathmatch’ and Cartoon Network’s ‘Robot Chicken’. He “ran away with” the Toby Tyler Circus in Florida for a spell (as a billposter) before deciding he might benefit more by hanging flyers for his own act back in New York City. His rock band Like Wow toured and released several well-received albums in the 90s, but Thomas eventually grew frustrated with typical band problems (such as a rotating lineup of drummers). He finally decided to build his own motorized mechanical drummer and ‘go solo’. He hasn’t looked back since. With Jarvis Cocker in LondonWith Jarvis Cocker in London Truax and David LynchTruax and David Lynch A stubborn DIY enthusiast, he self-released his debut full-length solo CD ‘Full Moon Over Wowtown’ on his own Psychoteddy label in 2002. It was later snatched up by London-based Breakin’ Beats for release in the UK and Europe. Numerous singles, compilations and eight other albums have followed on various labels including SL Records, Homesleep and Blang. Among these releases are an original score for a major German stage production of ‘Peer Gynt’ (by award-winning director Kay Voges), and – inspired by a meeting with director David Lynch – a highly-rated covers album ‘Songs From The Films Of David Lynch’. Thomas has been featured in two full-length film documentaries: ‘Instrumental’, from director Gabe Shalom (US, 2005) documenting the lives of four artists who make instruments, and Adam Clitheroe’s ‘One Man In The Band’ (UK, 2008). He’s done university lectures on creativity and music and been featured with his Hornicator in a Marvel Comic. Wowtown is a surreal place from which some of the characters and events in Thomas’s songs originate. He’s been writing The Wowtown News, which usually appears in the form of bite-sized missives or surreal weather updates at the end of his email newsletters which he sends to a long list of faithful subscribers, for over 20 years. An audio series of The Wowtown News ran on Resonance FM Radio (UK) starting in 2003. These episodes were later released as Podcasts. Thomas is currently compiling a selection of these stories to be released as a book. Support comes from Glastonbury's own unique musical adventure The Billy Shinbone show Tickets are £7 in adv https://www.seetickets.com/event/thomas-truax-billy-shinbone/the-mothers-ruin/1249044
