This track's from last weekend. I guess it's far more in a dubstep/UK style vein that the recent Victor Xray material. It still needs a little finishing off, however it goes quite nicely as a pair with the much breezier/lighter Bellwether Beaten.

The Mercury Theatre on the Air - includes downloads of shows in varied formats.

Free Listening Room - "old time radio" shows.

A 35 minute live to air from the national Australian FM radio station, JJJ. This was recorded on cassette at the time by Leon Austin and supplied to me burnt on CD. The recording contains many artifacts of both cassette deterioration, off-air recording, and live performance. Some light editing of small sections of extreme deterioration was carried out.

Many thanks to Leon Austin for this blast from the past!

As I remarked in email to Leon after he sent it to me;

it's the completely overblown trance set !!! geez we were stoned when we did that set, had to hang around the jjj building for like an hour after we set up before the set, we went out the back and toked up, it really comes out in the set ... a treatise on evil ... every track 8 minutes long i bet ... mc202 sequences with big string pads and detuned 5ths ... slightly embarrassing now ;-)

Warning: large file size. Download MP3

Subject: [claninfo] Clan Analogue Inverted Dub 
         at Horse Bazaar on Thursday (Melbourne)
 
Clan Analogue return to invert dub at Horse Bazaar
 
After sending subsonic reverberations echoing throughout
Fitzroy at the warehouse party launch for the In Version:
Dub Selections compilation, the Clan Analogue crew are
bringing their dub grooves to the city for Inverted
dub, an intimate club night at Horse Bazaar on Thursday 
the 23rd of March.

Inverted dub will include live performances from Boy Ronin 
and Fly By Wire, mixing pulsating dub sounds and tones
transmitted with technologies old and new.  DJs figital 
and winduptoy intersperse the live sets with selected
classics from the heart of Jamaica through to the modern
Australian dub sound.  Visuals are projected courtesy of 
the Clan Analogue 70s Jamaican film library.

Sonic death monkey Boy Ronin has been tossed to earth from 
a mountaintop to play his debut live set, sure to include
his In Version hit 'Dub Not Dub' amongst other frequencies
and basslines.

Deservedly acclaimed as one of Melbourne's most innovative
up and coming producers, Fly By Wire's mix of spacious
synthesized textures and melodic live instrumentation has
lead to multi-media collaborations, sound installations 
and gigs in clubs, pubs and warehouses throughout town.

Inverted will host the final set from DJ figital's current
Australian tour, playing a selection of old school dub.
Hailing from Toronto, Canada, figital has been working in
Melbourne with local producers but his hometown beckons.
Catch him now before the plane takes off�

DJ winduptoy previews some rare mixes of material from the
forthcoming winduptoys album Double Exposure, along with
dub-influenced electronic sounds from the Clan Analogue
vaults.

Inverted takes place at Horse Bazaar, 397 Little Lonsdale St
in the city, on Thursday the 23rd of March from 9pm onwards.
Entry is free.

Clan Analogue In Version: Dub Selections is out now through
Creative Vibes.

Another Sunday Arvo Special from the Victor Xray Audio System! Bellwether Beaten is a dark dancehall riddum made in Ableton Live v5.0. Music for a dark and rainy Sunday, this one shows a little more European influence than the last one.

An interesting article by Ben Byrne about warehouse space in Sydney and it's role in developing the sound culture there; Focusing Incidents » The Space in Between: Sounding the Disappearance of Warehouse Space in Inner City Sydney.

I would like to make a single minor contention. Ben states;

However, the link between sound in Sydney and the space of the warehouse wasn’t expressed concretely until the development of rave culture in the late eighties.

Explicitly, spaces mentioned elsewhere in his article, such as The Gunnery, and others not (e.g. Lost In Space, Sid's, The Pie Factory and others), had most definitely by the mid-Eighties developed a sound culture, one mostly entrenched in the post-punk, experimentalism, industrial-electronic music culture of that time. For example, early Severed Heads performances in art-spaces such as, well, 'Art Space', and similar spaces which were basically converted warehouses and commercial spaces.

See also the geographic-specific events such as the IAU sound performance event in the disused railway tunnels under Hyde Park, and SPK's (in)famous performance inside the disused St. Peter's brickworks. This very site, once the brickwork surrounds has been converted into Sydney Park, was latterly the location of many illegal Vibe Tribe raves and other events such as Clan Analogue's seminal day long electronic music festival "Bob Moog's Birthday" (and incidentally the very first time I ever performed at a Clan Analogue event).

A shout-out also has to be given in this regard to gay party culture. The best, most lucid, and by far debauched parties always held in warehouses where the residents where mixed gay/straight men and women (see again, Sid's) but they also, with a high degree of people involved in various creative industries, had a serious and thoughtful side that was reflected in sound art and musical practice.
