BRADFORD BAHAMAS
Come celebrate the golden age of piracy with us as
we toast the opening of the 21st Century.
Everything's free, everything's a copy and every
copies just that bit shi*ter than the source. Look
around, text messages, bootleg words, hacking out
the letters til were left with mystical ciphers of
cnsnnt grnts. We spend seconds downloading hundreds
of low resolution divx films recorded on a DV
camera from the back of a knackered cinema.
In the spirit of this bold new age
EMIrecordings.com physically bootleg vinyl at live
events, for YOU! Using our (patent pending and top
secret) "Bradfonic" resin casting system we are
able to provide you with an appalling quality, but
nonetheless a playable slab of resin vinyl. By
pouring fast setting resin directly onto whatever
record you might choose to bring, a bootleg which
happens to play backwards i.e. from the inside out
will be provided.
EMIrecordings.com are yet to destroy a record
however it is advised to bring a not so precious
record by 8.30pm. The process will take about 50
minutes which gives you enough time to tinker with
various sonic devices provided by "Bradford
Bahamas".

GAGGLE
A unique gaggle of 22 girls that sing songs about crows.
Although they look like something you might stumble
upon in a back room in Persia 1946, they have
actually just flown from their fourth concert and
are a breath of fresh squawks in these days of
formatted music.

SLOW SOUND SYSTEM AND HIGHPOINT LOWLIFE RECORDS
6-11pm. Free entry
Highpoint Lowlife records and the slow sound system
take over upstairs at the Foundry this Saturday. On
offer: future garage and bass explorations from the
anonymous and hotly-tipped Spatial (infrasonics),
plus jazz, Middle Eastern modes, electro-accoustics
and ambient minimalism from John Farah (Dross:tik),
worked out in real time on the Foundry's grand
piano. HPLL and slow sound system DJs fill in the
gaps.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
------------------------------
-------
SPATIAL
'Exceptional post-Burial/future-garage productions
... '80207' is an absolutely killer slice of crisp
and spacious garage dub progressions, sounding like
the perfect union of Andy Stott's techno dub
fixation crossbred with Burial's swung patterns and
2562's chrome plated production gloss, but adds old
skool rave strafes and some cybotronic mechanics of
his own for a truly shocking cut. The flipside
numbered '70810' rewrites the formula even further.
Starting with a El-B fashioned rhythmic framework,
Spatial reinforces the rhythm with slashing
brushstrokes to remove any unneccessary beats, and
douses the whole thing with a ghostly atmosphere
reminiscent of Burial or Andy Stott's finest. It's
either the end of a vintage year for garage
futurisms or the start of a very promising 2009,
either way, this is just awesome.' Boomkat

JOHN KAMEEL FARAH
Free improvisation, jazz, electro-acoustics, Middle
Eastern modes and ambient minimalism mixed up with
drum&bass and techno. Halfway between the concert
hall and the decks ... John Kameel Farah is a
Toronto-based composer, pianist, electronic
musician and visual artist. He studied composition
and piano performance at the University of
Toronto. In 1999 he studied privately with Terry
Riley in California. Farah performs regularly in
Toronto, and has performed his music at festivals

Middle-East, South Korea and Mexico. In 1999 and
2002, he visited the Edward Said National

visual artist in residence at the Trane Studio in
Toronto.
'His work speaks of the ancient past and
unperceivable future, the micro and the macro,
antibodies and heavenly bodies and astral
bodies...' Montreal Mirror

SHESH
From music to fashion to visual arts, shesh spreads
his message fusing and flipping several mediums
including music, fashion and visual arts.?
Taking inspiration from a wide variety or sources
such as 1950s & 60s advertising, musical imagery,
iconography & celebrity and comic book culture, the
work examines the links between fashion,
advertising, and urban graffiti art, all striving
to be get fame with a view to being ubiquitous. In
questioning and subverting the idea of fashion and
branding, the work itself becomes the very subject
matter it references.

JENNIFER NEW PAINTINGS (until 16 August)
Intrigued by the glossy and alluring nature of high
fashion and beauty advertising, and by society's
embrace of this unattainableEideal, I respond with a
series of paintings inspired by these images. I
simultaneously build and deconstruct these icons of
perfection through the layering of paint, using the
original photograph as the starting point, but
deviating from it with abandon. While some details from
the photograph are emulated, most others dissolve into
chaotic and bold abstraction. My paintings are a
journey away from the illusion of perfection, allowing
the viewer to see what's not supposed to be seen.
