BODY/CURRENT & 120 MINUTES present...
RAIME
We're dreadfully excited to bring you the second ever US appearance of London-based dark fiends RAIME, and the AV show that blew away crowds at Sonar and other festivals and will be appearing at Decibel in Portland this year. They'll be joined by the seductive sounds of Dark Entries' honcho Josh Cheon, Oakland-based dubby house-and-techno upstart Austin Cesear and yours truly. Artist bios below. TL;DR-This is going to be fucking PROPER.
//RAIME (Blackest Ever Black, UK)//
Raime are Joe Andrews and Tom Halstead, an enigmatic London-based duo seeking to re-establish electronic composition as a physical and emotionally inquisitive force. Their debut album, 'Quarter Turns Over A Living Line', is upon us, released on sharp London label Blackest Ever Black in November 2012, and a stunning new A/V live show emerges with it.
To date, over three sold-out EPs released on and a select string of imperious live outings (including at Sonar as watched by Aphex Twin, a pronounced admirer of their work, and dates with the likes of Hype Williams and Cut Hands), Raime have honed a shadowy aesthetic all of their own.
Their music offers a creeping, unavoidable sonic truth, moving steady and relentless from the speakers and weaving vast waves of sound, both beautifully intricate and artfully industrial, around gut-shaking rhythm cycles. On 'Quarter Turns Over A Living Line' the gothic and industrial signifiers of their earlier work remains, but more submerged and oblique than ever - no less pronounced as influences than jungle's rhythmic dynamism and doom metal's oppressive weight, or aspects of techno, modern composition and dub.

//JOSH CHEON (Dark Entries, Honey Soundsystem)//
Josh Cheon grew up 15 minutes outside of New York City, and more specifically The Bank, a goth club that laid the foundations for his obsession with dark synthesizer driven music. He soon got a summer job with Metropolis Records in Philadelphia who released modern EBM and synthpop bands as well as classic darkwave. While attending Rutgers University, he became the Music Director for 90.3FM The Core for two years and held internships at Beggars Banquet/4AD/Matador and DFA Records. Moving to San Francisco in 2006, Josh fell into the disco revival with Honey Soundsystem and secured a weekly radio show on West Add Radio. His love of underground 80s music couldn't stay buried and pushed him to start Dark Entries, a record label specializing in re-issuing lost music from that time as well as contemporary bands referencing those analog sounds. From the first release in July 2009, Dark Entries now has 50 releases under their belt and many more in the pipeline...

//AUSTIN CESAR (Public Information)//
Oakland-based Casear is one of the most refined of a crop of up-and-coming local dark dub-heads and producers, with releases forthcoming on Opal Tapes and Anthony Naples' label, Proibito. A review for his last record on PI: "Elements drift imperceptibly across the grid or painstakingly uncoil through unusual parametric shifts; rhythmic patterns are de-quantized and ruptured in the subtlest ways. To listen to Cruise Forever is to listen to a mind exploring, with no little flair and originality, the implications of a few basic propositions—many of them culled from the dance floor. Cesear is quite a find, and his future movements ought to be watched with interest."

//TDM//
The Body/Current crew aren't much for mission statements, but they like to stick to their credo: "Deep House, Dark Techno, All Night Long." Like the afterhours cabal he helped found, TDM is always mutating-a black mirror reflection of his alter-ego The Dice Man, a crumbling chip from the concrete disco of Castle Hands-always retreating further into darkness to a chorus of clanging pipes, hissing hi-hats and brick-wall drum blasts.
