Abort! Abort! Jan. 29th, 2010 @ 12:16 pm
Should be a top night - we've never had the sonic adventures with The Resonance Association before, and this is Lee Chaos' (long awaited) first outing with his solo-electronica project temp0rary! :-)

Thankyou! / Sleep deprivation Jan. 22nd, 2010 @ 01:06 pm
As I was just saying in my other post, Thank you *very* much for the lovely comments All! Afraid I'm a bit too busy and sleep-deprived to respond to each of you personally, but your comments are very much appreciated!

p.s. amusing sign of how sleep-deprived I currently am; Jo asked me the time. I stared at a blank wall, then gave an answer. Wondered if I am now hallucinating clocks (could have sworn there was one there). Decided that if the hallucinatory clocks tell the right time, then it's not a problem ;-)

A Very Happy Arrival Jan. 19th, 2010 @ 09:38 pm
My son Lucien was born yesterday morning; mother and baby are both well and happy.

He arrived at 23 minutes past the hour, and apparently already has a favourite music: Fat breakcore. These are fine omens indeed :-)


EDIT: Thank you *very* much for the lovely comments All! Afraid I'm a bit too busy and sleep-deprived to respond to each of you personally, but your comments are very much appreciated!

» Bands - wanna gig?
We're playing a gig at the Black Sheep Bar in Croydon on February 17th. Other bands playing will include The Resonance Association and IT, plus there'll be an EBM DJ apparently.

The promoter is thinking a fourth / opening band would be nice. If you fancy being that band or have mates who might, please could you (or them) drop me a line: amon @ doctrinezero dot com

Muchas Gracias. As you were.


Sorted, cheers.
» MTHRFKR: DeathBoy remix
That notorious horse-lover [info]deathboy has remixed Xykogen's latest track, MTHRFKR.

The sample is NSFW, m'kay?

You may also want to check out the original version.

Or the Endzeit Bunkertracks compilation it will be appearing on.
» Rather pleased about this
Endzeit Bunkertracks


Xykogen are very pleased to announce that our track "mthrfkr" features on the new Alfa Matrix compilation, Endzeit Bunkertracks Act V, due for release February 26th 2010.

Check out the track, and our new Unter Null remix, over at our Myspace or Vampire Freaks pages.
» Twitter is Cocaine
The big social networking platforms envisaged as drugs. Is spot on. No, LJ doesn't get a mention.
» Xykogen... weren't they like an 80s band or something?
Re-posted from [info]markeris because I really am that knackered... here's what we've been up to lately. Repeat: Not. Dead. Yet. ;-)


A reminder that we will be playing at the splendid Amalgamation festival in Leeds on 21st November - http://www.amalgamation.org.uk/ - an unprecedented THIRD live appearance for us this year. Be happy. Balls deep as we are into a lot of rather exciting new material it's very likely that this will be the last outing for a while for a lot of the back catalogue. So come along and whoop like you want my babies.

Also, talking of said new material, the first spaff of this new load is 2072 (imminent mix) which has made it's way onto the compilation that comes free with the latest issue of Nocturnal Magazine - http://www.nocturnalpublications.net/site/index.php - and gives just the slightest hint of some of the new directions we're staggering off in. And is a pretty cool track in its own right. There's some sort of slightly baroque procedure whereby you need to join their community and then it will give you access to a paypal button, but once you get there it's only a quid, and this mix is exclusive to the compilation.
» SAVE THE FOUNDRY!
Those of you who know The Foundry (big artists' pub on Old Street) may have heard that an application has been made to demolish the place so that a hotel can be built in its place. If you know the Foundry and you're any friend of mine then I dare say this doesn't sound like a good thing to you. People have until November 20th to send letters of complaint to this address:

Hackney Planning Services
Dorothy Hodgkin House
12 Reading Lane
London E8 1HJ

» Name that step
My nearly-five-year-old daughter just came out with a good one. She claimed she knew "how we grow up"... the steps were:

1.
2. You begin as a twinkle in your dad's eye
3. You grow in your mummy's tummy
4. You grow up with plenty of good food, sleep, and exercise


Can you guess what step 1 was? )

Cause Announcement from SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence)
Hi everyone,

All day today, we've been just fractionally ahead of the competing cause in 3banana's "Share to Win" challenge. We still are... but really fractionally, just half a dozen votre, despite both us and them having added several hundred votes today. There are still nearly three hours to go - voting ends at midnight Paciic time. Everyone who sees this in time: please, if you haven't already done so, take the few seconds necessary to register your support for SENS at this page:

http://3banana.com/m/0JQ/-kDPA_iEv7i

and help our cause to secure not only $5,000 but also a slew of gret free publicity and promotion. The more we are supported, the more we will be communicating to major donors the legitimacy and popularity of the crusade against aging. Please don't delay. Thanks so much!
» Help SENS with a comment!
Most people who know me, know that I'm a transhumanist. That means I think human limitations are essentially problems to be solved, rather than virtues-in-disguise. One such limitation - in fact, almost certainly the biggest & baddest - is death due to old age.

Researchers at SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence: http://www.sens.org) are working to identify the various ways that our bodies fall apart that are associated with ageing. If their work inspires others, it may lead to you living a longer and healthier life.

Right now, SENS are very close to winning a competition (basically a popularity contest) run by 3banana.com... if they get more comments than anyone else entered, the researchers get $5,000 toward the work and - perhaps more importantly - a bunch of associated publicity.

Want to do your bit to help beat ageing? Then click the link below and leave a comment!

» Oi! "Representative Democracy"! No!
Pete saying the kinds of things about (British) politics that I've long thought also. I just don't mention them often because saying you don't truck with modern representative "democracy" tends to get people labelling you a totalitarian.
