Off The Record

Sutherland proved himself to be one of the most exciting Australian names in live electronic music over the festival season last summer, and his Bermuda project is on a whole other level (live violin, anyone?) It’s happening onFriday June 24atCivic Undergroundwith support coming fromLucy ClichéandHubert Clarke Jr [pictured above]. Tickets are only $10, but you can lower that down to $3 by registering for the guest list atredbullsoundselect.com.

Sweet merciful Jesus.TheBelleville Three, AKA Detroit techno pioneersJuan Atkins, Kevin SaundersonandDerrick May, who have not performed together in almost a decade, are in the midst of planning a global reunion tour. In an interview with the Canadian publicationWe Got This Coveredlast week, Saunderson said: “What I can say for the future is that we’re working on a tour now, for all three of us as The Belleville Three. We’re gonna try to kick it off next year, and it’s gonna start out with DJing and evolve into a much bigger thing, too.” This will be a bigger tour than Daft Punk, guys. Keep an eye out.

Tour rumours: they’re being crowned as the greatest live electronic act in Europe at the moment, and word on the street is that we’ll be seeingModeratcoming our way mighty soon. Oh, andJackmaster? I would happily put $20 down on seeing his face on Australian shores before the year is out.

Best releases this week: after loads of hype the new record from Matthew Dear’sAudionproject has finally dropped. It’s titledAlpha(on !K7) and it, uhh, kinda sucks. Sigh. On a more positive note, spend this week spinningMonolake’sGMO(Imbalance Computer Music),Eric Miller’sFlora(Sushitech),Vicmari’sAutodidact(Eclipser Chaser),Margaret Dygas’Even 11(Perlon),FP-Oner’s6(Mule Musiq) andRichie Brains’Who Is Richie Brains(Exit) and you’ll be set.

Old mateAphex Twinwill release a new EP titledCheetah(Warp Records) onFriday July 8; while South African house visionaryCuloe De Songhas a new album entitledWasha(De Song Music) also coming onFriday July 8.
