Streets of Rage // Cheer // Fox Gut Daata

streets of rage // cheer // fox gut daata

With Bring Your Piece, we thought we would provide the kind of welcome to Glasgow we would want. So in a tent sat outside the University’s main building, provided by the SRC and stocked with free strawberries, apples and raspberries from the West End grocer Andersons, we assembled a tasteful, mid-afternoon soundtrack to aurally disseminate the shitty vibes of the PR rammy. A Fresher's Week no-niche music programme in a week when chart music clubs give out endorsed hoodies, "Me No Speak Americano" is on repeat and n00bz cut about in t-shirts.

So with t-shirts abandoned, Streets of Rage blasted their 10 minute, 190bpm hardcore to a tent full of pizza-eaters, geeks and potential drop-outs.

Cheer brought some electroacoustic serenity to University Avenue, meandering his guitar strums over the hiss of a reel to reel spinning into a gathering mass of sound. Heaviness through lightness. Darkness through brightness. The Boho team manager hardly even saw it coming.

Beats producer Fox Gut Daata said he gets turned off by music made specifically for a club, his compact, bustling electronic jams testified to his disregard of tailor made, 4/4 boredom.
