Here is a Mix by Mike Vest from Bong done for the Holy Mountain cinema room at Body Melt, if you've been you'll know drill, if not this is kind of stoner drug addled blasphemic cinematic madness that is going down.
Tracklisting:
"Aye, cant remember what i added
Kilslug and some other things..
Cheers like..
Mike"
I originally tried to upload this to soundcloud but it got cock blocked by Soundclouds copy write radar,"may contain content that is owned or administered by ABKCO (US) (Alejandro Jodorowsky, Trance Mutation)."...busted by Jodorowsky.
So I jumped ship to Mixcloud where they don't appear to care about that stuff.
Our innaugral event at the star and shadow featured the fast paced Electro Bass sounds of Paul Blackford (Breakin Records/Militant Science) and alien Electro/Techno experi-mentalist Galaxian (Last Known Trajectory/Transient Force) rocking out some serious live electronic shit!
Paul Blackford - Germ Warfare
Paul runs his own digital label called Militant Science which as well as serving as a vehicle for his own releases boasts some outstanding work from the likes of Soundex Phonetic, Chordata, Galaxian, Oort Cloud, Radioactive Man, Ali3ns3xtoy, Epsion and it's all free to download so get'pon dat shit!
Galaxian hails from Glasgow and is something of an enigma musically speaking with a style that doesn't sit comfortably in anyone genre. Elements of Techno, Electro, Electronica, and Noise music collide in a kind of musical alchemy which produces something which is entirely his own without being a an overly self conscious exercise in jumping from one style to the next.

The night was a total sellout we had lazers, strobes, moonlights, and projections in the main room.The Electro/Acid/Braindance/Electronix sound was being fully rocked out and represented with only a couple of deviations that didn't quite fit what we were after musically( I'm mentioning no names ;) ). The sound on the night was a bit too loud for some and admittedly it was a bit too loud for us as well in hindsight. To be fair that was my fault I booked a 10k rig that was probably a bit OTT for the size of the room, most of the extra power was bass blasting people full on in the face...it's all anarchy though innit? We've nailed it out now though so it's all good, you live and learn ay kids?
The Holy Mountain Room in the cinema featured DJ's Mike Vest from Bong, Ben Jazzfinger from non other than Jazzfinger operating as Jazzfinger Soundsystem, Capo Ultra who normally rocks out stuff on the Urban Music tip, Phippertronische from Road to Rimini, and Richard Dawson sitting on a stage playing a Bassoon. Music in there was completley random and on a total wtf? urgh hallucinatory mind fuck trip. Visuals on screen were assembled from loads of fucked up films and assembled by the big man himself Max Lermontov.
In the foyer area Glu Flux Klan provided "A Sojourn in the City of Newcastle, in the Year of Our Lord 20--" an art experiment which featured a live one man surf noise band, a man riding a bike watching the Tour de France on a telly whilst listening to Kraftwerk - Tour de France in a loop for two hours, as well as a number of well placed projections.
.
So all in all it was a triumph of content and substance over style...what more could you ask for? What? What? all of Galaxians live set in it's entirety? Oh...oh...oh well go on then.

Body Melt will be bringing to the masses Electronic Music PARTIES/RAVES that focus on live knob twiddling button bashing banging sets by top artists and producers from the UK and Europe. Over two rooms our far reaching music policy ranges from:
Room 1 (Body Melt) Underground Electro, Acid, Braindance, Electronix, Industrial/EBM, New Beat and any other kind of electronic machine music beyond or between that, that gets us and the floor worked up.
Room 2 (Holy Mountain) A musical joyride into hell and the element of hallucinatory surprise, this can range from Psyche, Drone, Hip Hop, Breakcore, Black Metal, Avandt Garde Composition, Soundtracks, Krautrock, Industrial Techno, Power Electronics, Disco or 80’s cheese...cinematic visuals to aid the journey!
Our main aim is too throw raging parties for people who want to give theimselves up to to the beat and the moment, driven forward by exciting forward thinking producers who aim to set your body and your mind into overdrive.
Born out of frustration and passion in equal measure Body Melt is our Re-Animating injection to a complacent and cliquey night life scene within Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Predominantly an Electronic Music night heavily radiating phresh Electro - Acid - Braindance - Electronix vibes on the dancefloor.
We always try to use as much space within venues we invade and conspire with friends and comrades to provide "other" aural and visual sensory delights as a counterpoint to the Rave sensations of the main room; 80's schlock horror, art house films, art and esoteric mad mongey music of any varieties within different areas of the building make the party to us feel like somewhere you can wander around and experience new and different pleasures depending on where your heads at...like being at a cool festival or something.
Mutants, Miscreants, Freaks, Geeks, Friends unite, the night belongs to us - come out to play!!!
