New Club Night at the Soul Tree
Published 15th Jan 2007 by Amanda

Spazmodics is a new Club night coming to the Soul Tree in February. This is a collaboration between Paris and Cambridge aiming to present you some of the best electro artists from France, starting with Krazy Baldhead (Ed Banger Records) and dDamage (Planet Mu, Tsunami Addiction, Tigerbeat 6) So get ready for some twisted electro and raw beats!

Krazy Baldhead is a former piano player whose influences come from Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Prince, as well as Aphex Twin, Prefuse 73 and Funkstorung!His abstract music reflects his likings, halfway between hip-hop, jazz, funk and breakbeat, the whole dressed with various cut-ups. His first remix “Bill's Breaks” was released in 2004 on the famous French label ED BANGER RECORDS. Since he has multiplied his collaboration with the Parisian Underground scene: remixes by Para One and Feadz, release of a split 7 with Sebastian, etc. He also worked with Tes, a rapper from NYC ('X2' album on Lex Records). In December 2006, they released the “Dry Guillotine” record on Ed Banger, featuring a remix of Midfield General (a.k.a Damian Harris who founded Skint Record label). Krazy Baldhead taps now more and more fans who can't wait to dance on his funky and acid gigs.

dDamage brothers play indescribable electronic music, both violent and melodic, juggling with hip-hop beats, riffs of guitars and beats of analogue synths. With tended flow, their music lets appear a rare sensitivity, skilfully camouflaged behind intense 'boom tchack' of modern cruelty. After two years of intense work, they come back with a fortnight tracks on which is invited the crème of the independent hip-hop scene. Bigg Jus (from Company Flow), Orko Eloheim (NMS / Project Blowed), Dose One (from Subtle and Clouddead) along with the emblematic figure of French hip-hop TTC, Milke Ladd, Tes (Lex Records), Crunc, Telsa, Stacs of Stamina, Sin (affiliated with the NYC scene Dipset / Diplomats) and finally Existereo. The whole thing is intersected with energetic dance floor tracks. In terms of digital New-Beat and EBM styles, dDamage is an improbable band, surely imposing its atypical style.
