Jamie Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Prinzhorn Dance SchoolEnigmatic Brighton triumvirate Prinzhorn Dance School are a cacophonic, catalytic axe-slinging gaggle whose excellent brand of brambly rock and boy-girl electro is avidly matched by their similarly superlative designate: inspired, it is said, by an early twentieth century psychiatrist who assembled Europes largest collection of art by patients suffering from psychosis.Recently signed to decalescent US imprint DFA, (home to Triptych alumni LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip, and helmed by sonic overlord James Murphy), PDS party cantatas and DIY ardour and hi-hat arias and unrefined rock n roll are set to slay clubbers and music lovers all over 2007.Fujiya & MiyagiThe imagined, illicit love betwixt a Japanese hi-tech turntable company and the Karate Kids bearded maharishi begets the misleadingly tropical moniker of Brightons marvellous Fujiya and Miyagi: a lavish, labyrinthine trio whose shimmering touchstones of desiccant funk, filmic vistas, modernist wordplay and club-land shenanigans channel trailblazers such as Roxy Music, Can, LCD Soundsystem, Serge Gainsbourg and MF Doom.Propagating a wry, inspired, revitalising dance music genus; as presently attested on the triumvirates multifarious frolic Transparent Things (Tirk); Fujiya and Miyagi or Steve Lewis, David Best and Matt Hainsby as theyre rather more prosaically designated are a vigorous, bountiful kraut-pop treasure.http://www.triptychfestival.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
