Rhys Chatham performing live Kosmische Club Oya Festival 2007


NY underground legend Rhys Chatham performing live in Oslo August 2007. The insistent motorik rock n roll pulse that runs from Bo Diddley to Neu! to Tony Conrad to The Ramones is captured by Rhys Chatham, the crowd rapturously lost in the joy of repetition (as Hot Chip would have it) the sublime object always just over the horizon. He played as part of kosmische night events at the Oya Festival. This is a full performance of Guitar trio which been influential on groups like Sonic Youth, Glenn Branca, Band of Susans, Helmut and the swans.

“Written in 1977, Guitar Trio is Rhys Chatham's signature composition, and with good reason. With a single, repeated chord, Chatham permanently altered the DNA of rock by splicing the gritty, overtone-drenched minimalism of John Cale and Tony Conrad with the elemental fury of the Ramones. The amalgamation was inspired. It energized the downtown New York scene throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, and made Chatham a founding father of the notorious No Wave movement.”

Spectrum, Hanne Hukkelberg and Salvatore live at the Oya Festival, Oslo, Norway

Spectrum, Hanne Hukkelberg,Salvatore Oya Festival


The Oya Festival took place between the 7th and 11th August in Oslo's medieval parc, daytime rock-festival joys giving way to a plethora of inventive night-time activity courtesy of Oslo's independent promoters. Kosmische club played host to Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3)'s SPECTRUM project, combining vintage analogue electronics and myriad sounds coaxed from an array of mini keyboards and circuit bent toys. Opening with an oblique homage to Kraftwerk's 'Hall of Mirrors', before drifting into almost vintage Spacemen 3 territory, the droning half-light broken by pulsing neon-bursts of electronics, bathing Pete Kember's warm tones in a aquatic blue glow. The daytime festival on Saturday was opened by Norwegian chanteuse Hanne Hukkelberg, whose haunting songs, orchestrated with glass celeste, sonic-bicycle wheels, harmonium amongst other exotic instrumentation, tug at the heartstrings while moving to increasingly oblique time-signatures. Closing the Saturday night was Salvatore, whose motorik autobahn-rock moves to a more singular rhythm, colliding unstoppable Neu! propulsion with dub effects, cinematic crescendos and shards of astringent electronica.

Black Devil Disco Club live at Sonar 2007

Black Devil Disco Club


This rare live set was recorded at the Sonar Festival in Barcelona in June 2007. Black Devil 'Disco Club' ep was one of the most legendary and sought after of all the leftfield disco records of the late 70s, meshing insistent live drumming, hypnotic electronics, tape loops and sidereal vocals into a mysterious, dark and delirious disco masterwork. The work of French library composers Benard Fevre and Jacky Giordano, the record gained totemic status amongst electro-disco afficonados, eventually leading to a timely re-issue on Rephlex Records in 2004.

28 years after the original vinyl appeared, Bernard Fevre has teamed up with electronic musician Gwen Jamois to reconvene the Black Devil Disco Club, further exploring the realms of dark, hypnotic and subliminally seductive electronic disco first hinted at by the original 1978 record, resulting in pair of LPs on Lo Recordings (lorecordings.com) and a series of remixes. .
