Tarantism // 12.04.12 // Tarantism 55 - Balearic Día & Balearic Noche

This week, Nathan takes you on a journey through sonic bliss to a sun-soaked, Balearic ideal, unbound to reality ...

We'll explore an imaginary day of sea, sand and musical soothe, before transcending to a moon-lit night of tantalising up-tempo sound, with no motive but to move you ...

No sun cream required.

philanthrobeats

Tarantism // 03.04.12 // PHILANTHROBEATS

Philanthrobeats is a newly formed charity organisation which will be running club-nights and arts events in the city of Glasgow. Working in collaboration with the city’s most experienced and respected promoters, we aim to use music and art as tools to bring people together under a common goal - to raise money for others who need it most.

== LAUNCH NIGHT ==

Philanthrobeats presents…

Mount Heart Attack Mia Dora (DJ Set) Denney & FortyWinks (Live) Tarantism

£4 * o.t.d.

Thursday 5th April Chambre69, Glasgow

*All proceeds go to Amnesty International

Launching on Thursday 5th April, our club events will take place at Chambre69 on the first Thursday of each month. Our mission is to spread the wealth as evenly as possible through enabling the promoters we collaborate with to raise the money for the charity of their choice. This first night, however, the music will be curated by ourselves (a team of experienced promoters, journalists, PRs and a legion of enthusiastic helpers), and will act as a celebration of the wide variety of artistic talent that Glasgow has to offer, both musical and visual. We have therefore chosen a patchwork of acts to represent the city’s different sounds, which will be supplemented by a collection of artwork all focused on a common theme.

All proceeds from this event will go to Amnesty International, a charity dedicated to eradicating social injustice and the breach of human rights on a world-wide scale.

coton tige

Tarantism // 29.03.12 // Tarantism 54 - COTON TIGE

Coton Tige is a Parisian label born from the minimal techno emancipation. It was set up in 2006 by Thomas Clapin (a.k.a. Ekomine) and a number of his friends, and over the past 6 years the label has continued to grow as a family. A family of very talented people indeed.

Part of the INTERFACE PLUS collective, Coton Tige represents the music label sub-department. They work alongside their booking agency, Velvet, and their visuals team, NYX. NYX add invaluably to their events with incredibly impressive visual installations that have been seen to stretch across huge 3-dimensional screens the size of a double-decker bus. This professional and artistic approach to clubbing has earned the collective a very positive Europe-wide reputation, supplemented by the Coton Tige artists' quality productions.

Tonight, on Tarantism, we have the privilege of speaking with Thomas, the label co-founder, and ask him a few questions about Coton Tige (and it's odd but humorous choice of name), NYX visuals and, of course, what the electronic music scene is like in their hometown of Paris.

We are also pleased to bring you a recording of the label's first promotional podcast: a live set from Berlin-based Coton Tige artist, and Stattbad resident, Damien K. Sahri. Damien is a compulsive traveller, and you can feel it in his music. His influences spread from rock'n’roll and jazz to techno music, but also from latino percussion to all kinds of exotic shakers and cymbals. Through recording all kinds of acoustic and analogue instruments, Damien produces a unique sound that gives him a very independent identity. This live act is a small preview of his hard studio work, and is the result of extensive research towards a multitude of different musical horizons.

Damien's live set will be sandwiched by a suitably minimal mix from the Tarantism DJs... focusing, of course, on the label's own releases.

Enjoy!

beware! the ides of march...

Tarantism // 01.03.12 // Tarantism 53 - Beware the Ides of March

Tonight's 1st March show could be deemed as 'damage control'.

With the next scheduled Tarantism radio show to take place in two weeks, it lands on the ill fated 15th March, famous as the date of the once great Julius Caesar's demise.

Nathan often finds himself being compared to the great Caesar... and I, personally, do not disagree. As his trusty henchman, I fear that the end may be nigh for the two of us. Resultantly, he will sit out of this show to muster up some plans of defense using his strongest trait - military tactical genius.

Alas, this therefore may be the last opportunity for our listeners to hear the music that comes from, and continually adds to, our vast record collection. I would therefore like to take the chance to do a one off show that lacks a specific theme, or pre-determined direction...

Alone, but with the aid of regular Tarantism guest, Rebenga 'FortyWinks' Dunn, I will play a collection of the tracks and vinyl I have been buying recently, as well as a few old tunes which have crept back into my daily listening.

Will we be here in two weeks time?

What do the Ides of March have in store for Tarantism?

Does Nathan have crabs?

Et tu, Brute?

bof house

Tarantism // 02.02.12 // Tarantism 52 - BOF HOUSE

Tonight, Tarantism will be devoid of our voices on the mic... strictly vocal samples.

Behold a groovy, bassy mix of 100% pure 4-4 rhythms hailing from all forms of the music we know as 'House'. Recorded at our residency at the famed Bofhaus, the legendary music lounge/food emporium that also serves as Nathan of Tarantism's flat.

We played host to DJ Akela of Itch! (formerly Chungo of Itch!) and rode the flow with him for two straight hours, recording the mix in one take.

Enjoy.

"I aspire to mix like this one day." - Richie Hawtin

"There's no place quite like the Bofhaus." - Fran Healy, Travis

"Bof!" - Mr. Oizo
