Review: Glitch Spanks LEAF: ++ @ Axis, 6/8/07

++ special event: Glitch Spanks LEAF @ Axis, June 8, 2007

Amma, Allison and I got to Axis around six-thirty to help out with deco and get all the gear set up for the night. Along with Bonk, Dana and Heidi, and the constant trickle of new hands as Glitch and LEAF crews intermingled, two video screens, dual string spines, two lycra-covered lounge areas, six black lights and a LEAF tribe vinyl banner were installed in no time at all. Nora and the djs worked out all the mixer connections and at ten o'clock Bulletproof Mercedes and Pi/x=Santa began assaulting the ears of an already decent sized audience with laptop music creations and alterations.

I spun next, dropping breaks from the likes of Meat Katie and Lee Coombs before upping the tempo with Evil Nine and stepping aside for Maelstrom and Rainbow Unicorn, whose jungle tag set really started to move the crowd. It was sometime during their set that I went downstairs for a cigarette only to find out that they had shut down the downstairs area of Axis (usually a goth/industrial night). Simply amazing, the larger downstairs area was empty, house lights illuminating a barren dance floor; All the patrons of Axis this friday were upstairs!

Maelstrom and Rainbow Unicorn made way for Norajean and Zyler, who squiggled and tharped through various psybreaks and techno throes. Professor Pious provided a nice interlude between their two short sets, with Hollow and Manipulation tagging psytrance to bring the night to a full-on close. And of course, all through the night VJs Bonk and Zyler brought visual stimuli to the eyes watching two video installations.

Much success for the mad collaboration of Glitch and LEAF, with help from Sonic Beating on deco. The whole night was an ever-growing positive vibe, infecting everyone who came up the stairs to ++.
