Border Commune @ Corsica Studios, London, UK : 24th September 2010Posted By: Gemma on 24/09/10

Our love affair with Elephant & Castle’s Corsica Studios continues on Friday 24th September, when the troops will descend on the uninhibited artspace for the latest in our Border Commune series of parties. Tickets are on sale now via WeGotTickets for just £10 (or a little more on the door), so do join us for what will be our final London Border Community party of 2010!

Heading up the mainroom will be our spiritual leader James Holden with his first extended London set since the beginning of the summer, revitalised, reinvigorated and raring to share his latest discoveries with you after the DJ Kicks touring marathon. Our longtime compadre Perc joins us with a special warm-up set, widening the techno brief to touch all of the eclectic bases covered in his recent spot-on podcast for the ever-astute Allez-Allez blog. And sandwiched in the middle are our honorary guests from Italy Margot with the debut UK outing for their unique DJ-and-live-set combo, building on the considerable success of their own label Margot Records to celebrate their conscription to the Border Community with a sneak preview of the delights contained within the ‘France 2 EP’ (out in October).

It falls to Room 2 to provide our beloved alternative flavour, which will this time find itself transformed into the cosy ‘The Holkham Drone Zone’, a celebration of drone-based music as inspired by the title of Mr Luke Abbott‘s debut album Holkham Drones. DJ Wesley Matsell presides over events with selections plucked from the noisiest depths of his record collection, peppered inbetween which you will find: James Holden and Luke Abbott’s own take on the loudness wars with their back-to-back Doepfer drone-off; an exercise in interactive choral concentrational hypnosis at the hands of An’Unexpectacle (bolstered by your own vocal involvement); audio-visual piece Telechromatic Distortion performed by Dan Tombs; and Perc’s temptation over to the noisy side for some analogue indulgences. Finally, that nice young man Wesley Matsell has one last monolithic beast of primal diginoise to unleash, to send you on your way with noise in your heart.
