ONTOLOGICAL STATEMENT
We are in favour of the turntable arts. Fastforwarding into the future
requires spinning back through a neglected past. Today's musical fashion
statements appear all the more questionable when juxtaposed  with obscure &
neglected  waxsonics. DJing is a specific art. It aspires to
(techno)turntablism. Beatmatching is not a problem to be overcome. It is the
basis for all that  follows; it sets the tone for skill. Turntablism is not
only about the  scratch, but consists of the cut, juggling, EQ, placement,
timing; flow,  set, movement, trajectory; conceptechnics and sonography.
Turntablism is  about repurposing tactile technology in an improvisational
and rigorous  fashion. It is about discipline and practice, attention,
concentration.  It prerequisites historical resampling. It loops
narratology. It dreams  of surreal zones of autonomous encounter ..

[A little on the mixes] ­ all mixes are  unedited, one-take & unrehearsed
(often from records recovered that day).  Continuous one-hour takes feature
no break between Fishead & tobias; others  feature two 30 minute sets
recorded the same evening. Often, a normative  amount of copious drinking is
involved. Fishead's favourite brews focus  around the Unibroue family;
tobias favours martinis, ginnantonix, sangria  & wine.
