Mark Fell took to the Cafe Oto stage wearing a cap with the logo of the tractor manufacturer John Deere on it. Could there be anything more incongruous? Fell's music is far from agricultural, being a repurposing of Detroit techno stylings, by way of the Sheffield electronic avant-garde. Come to think of it, techno in Oto is itself slightly out of place, although Fell's is a particularly complex and challenging take on it. Intelligent Dance Music may be a Very Stupid Music Label, but Fell's records (and those born of his partnership with Mat Steel, SND) do light up synapses [...]
Despite the phenomenal amount of material that the composer and guitarist Loren Connors has released over the years (too much surely for anyone apart from the most committed completist to have kept track of) there remains something ghost-like about him. His public performances are relatively rare these days, which is perhaps unsurprising given the fact he has been suffering from Parkinsons disease for some time. The contribution that this condition has in fact made to his guitar playing is a moot point, though it is perhaps too easy to draw parallels between the undoubted fragility of his playing and his [...]
Last week, the Guardian named Dalston's Cafe Oto and the Vortex as two of the ten best music venues in London, and given how these two stand (so far) apart from the rest thanks to their laudable commitment to adventurous programming, I'm almost surprised that they managed to find eight more, to be honest. Cafe Oto was pretty full tonight for the sort of lineup you really wouldn't find anywhere else in the city: the artists Stephan Mathieu, BJ Nilsen and TSU (Robert Curgenven and Jörg Maria Zeger). It led me to wonder whether anyone had come along to Cafe [...]
Ever the contrarian, there were in fact eleven members of Peter Brötzmann's Chicago Tentet for their three day residency at Cafe Oto. Eleven. This was more than an attempt to simply be "one louder": in an interview conducted for the BBC beforehand, tentet member Ken Vandermark was rightly insisting Brötzmann's reputation as the crazy shrieking sax player was - at least in part - a lazy journalistic invention. There is so much more to him than this; even when paired with Japanese noise guitarist Keiji Haino at Oto the previous week, the subtler side of his talents was still apparent. [...]
Noah Howard's 1969 album The Black Ark begins with a bouncing bass and piano groove, before massed horns assemble loosely around a melody. It doesn't last long, as a succession of solos lead the track "Domiabra" into increasingly free areas. However, nothing can prepare you for the extraordinary entrance of Arthur Doyle five minutes in, cutting short the trumpet solo with a devastating solo which builds on the more brutal developments made by the likes of John Coltrane, Albert Ayler and Pharoah Sanders. In the liner notes to the Bo'Weavil reissue of the LP, Oren Ambarchi describes his playing on [...]
"It is a good thing there isn't a microphone up here," said saxophonist Matana Roberts early on in this performance, "as if you've seen me before you'll know it can be dangerous to give me a microphone". Indeed - for Matana Roberts has a lot to say. Her live sets will be interrupted with stories, with Q&A sessions, with calls for comments, and requests for requests. But her music too feels like a continuation of this side of her personality. Solo, she is a raconteur, telling tales from her Chicago roots and her Harlem home. In a group setting there [...]
If you've never been to London's premier experimental music venue Cafe Oto, then you really must: their programme for 2011 is already looking staggeringly good. But rather than going just once, try taking in two consecutive nights: in 28 hours between 8pm one day and midnight the next, such a huge amount of ground can be covered. Take these two, for instance. There is no specific connection between the two events of this post's title, other than that they did indeed occur on consecutive days: they demonstrated a wide range of music, and in particular the full spectrum between the [...]

oto (previously mentioned here) is back with new materials, albeit this time with new members and a different name, soto . Brand new 4-song EP, self-titled, and totally guilt-free, released by netlabel Creation Centre. More blissful, cozy, texturally rich daydreaming tunes to warm you up. If you enjoy their previous effort, you'll feel the same with these tracks. Remember, in case you dig the two tracks below, feel free to go here and download the rest (and learn more about the band). Happy dreaming. [...]
The idea of netlabels is quite interesting, innit? Basically, it's about screwing all the major, painstaking steps of having a cd out the traditional way - packaging, distributing and all. All you need is to rip your tracks to DRM-free mp3s with acceptable quality, make a cover in jpeg format, zip them all and upload the final product to the interwebs. Much more economical, especially for bands whose main priority is just to be heard. However, the drawback is that since it's so easy, it takes time to find something obscure that's worth your time, to find a label whose [...]
