EMW TV Transmission: Datacode - Wraithmachine Chapter 1 (Methlab Recordings)

MethLab Recordings have very kindly allowed us to present the already much revered first part of the Datacode Cyber Punk Operetta ‘Wraith Machine’ on EMW TV.

Having been picked up previously by VICE Creators Lab (https://creators.vice.com/en_us/article/ae5vwj/cyberpunk-cgi-opera-features-an-ai-having-a-mental-breakdown) and XLR8R (https://www.xlr8r.com/news/datacode-depicts-the-mind-bending-journey-of-an-ai-in-new-audio-visual-release) this intense and deeply satisfying work of art still remains current.

Italian artist Datacode creates a piece that questions are understanding of the capabilities of machines and their purpose. Spending 6 months in the math of Cycling '74 Max and Jitter and the waste grounds of consumer technology.

After a short break and another train passing we welcomed Shigeto Ensemble trio to the stage. With the well revered beat maker and drummer released on Ghostly joined by longtime musical partners Marcus Elliot on tenor sax and Ian Fink on keys and synth bass.

To say my mind was blown is an understatement. Witnessing the three musicians gel on stage as carriages continued to pass by was nothing short of a jazz masterclass.

I was reminded of the old Blue Note records I became obsessed with when first discovering Jazz. Shigeto has a great …

30 Years On The Train: An interview with Neil Perch.

As the bass rattled my physical body, vibrating eyeballs and my soul, I could see someone leaning over a large piece of equipment, working it like a space ship control panel. Twisting knobs, throwing faders and moving to the heavy rhythms. This person was Neil Perch, original founder of Zion Train and the gig was in Narbeth Queens Hall ( I dont remember the exact date).
I have ever since wanted to get to the bottom of this spell binding, mystical process which I know now as Dub mixing.
It is with great honour that I introduce a feature with Neil Perch, looking back at the 30 years of Zion Train and providing some insight in to the sounds created.
30 Years On The Train: An Interview With Neil Perch.

Let us start with a particular track titled ‘Llanberis Pass’. Judging by release dates and info on Wobbly Web this was being made around the same time as ‘Passage To Indica’ an album that went on to influence what many now call Dub Techno.

However, ‘Llanberis Pass’ actually found its way ont…
