LFO - You Have To Understand I've been meaning to post something from LFO's Frequencies for absolutely ages now, but haven't been able to pick a tune because it's all so damn good (it's one of the best techno albums of all time - if not the best - and so a bit of LFO is well overdue on Dilated Choonz). Luckily Liz Torres has come along and settled it, so here we have the Torres-inspired You Have To Understand . [...]
Do you have 20 minutes to spare? Rosy Parlane 's "Part 3", the denouement of his second album Jessamine , is time well-spent. In over a quarter of an hour, Parlane moves the track from the blissful sound of the pop and crackle of a needle on a dusty record to a menacing storm of sound. It's a stunning composition, never boring or incidental. It may be dominated by a cacophonous meltdown, but "Part 3"'s peaceful beginning is just as interesting.

Some photos and videos of last night’s LFO show, his first ever in Ireland. The atmosphere was amazing at it (that may just have been the majority of people off their mash on ecstasy pipes) with a noticeable amount of old skool ravers there to relive their former glories.

Despite the atmosphere, LFO’s set wasn’t [...]

Sometime contributer Mike here. Hailing from a Leeds scene that included Nightmares on Wax and Ital rockers, LFO originally were a two-man techno/electro outfit comprising of Mark Bell and Gez Varley. Both liked alternative music from an early age, and they formed LFO after meeting at college. Bizarrely, it was money inherited from Varley’s grandmother that enabled the duo to acquire the necessary sonic goods and really put their project on track. Their first official release (and possibly most famous to date) soon followed; the eponymous “LFO†single, released on Warp in 1990. The track [...]
