North South Divide - what is it?

NSD is a magical musical digital leper colony for the great unwashed of UK bell-endtronica. It’s a place to come and marvel at the freaks behind labels like Werk Discs, Stuff Records, Point One and MNX, inspect their turgid wares, and perhaps even toss them a shekel or two by way of compensation.

In short, this collaborative brainwrong from Stuff (Glasgow) and Werk (London) gathers the collective juices squeezed from the finest underground music into one retail trough.

Whether you’re a vinyl sexual, bi-format or just like it up the MP3-hole, NSD caters for all persuasions. It also spews forth occasional missives offering information about events and releases of interest to today’s technocratic obscurists.

Rose and Sandy

Rose & Sandy studied at the Marcia Blaine School for Girls, where they majored in Environmental Noise Pollution, Musique Plastique and Austere 20th Century Composers. Having composed their first release on Stuff 003 ('Rose & Sandy Sing a Tribute to Octopus Robinson') exclusively from the sound of their reverberating bottoms rubbing against the window of a chip shop, the girls had quickly established a reputation as one of the UK’s most rotund electronica acts.

In this guise, they veer towards a more experimental side of the Marcia character than that of the School; soon to be evinced on an audio/visual DVD release on Highpoint Lowlife records entitled 'Mapping Closure' which examines the relationship between individuals, the city and half-pizzas. Their live work wobbles in between an experimental po-faced sit-down protest to careless rave abandon, straddling all points in between.

Magic Daddy

Magic Daddy is the bitchtit-hop alter ego of Greg Hurst, an aspiring piss artist from the wrong side of the Clyde. After causing a mass anal prolapse among Glasgow’s beautiful people with his debut vinyl appearance on Optimo’s Black Rabbit Whorehouse EP, his EP for Stuff had them clawing their own mullets off in sheer joyful abandon.

Influenced by The Neptunes, DJ Premier and Russ Abbot, this Daddy’s magical musical odyssey is set to spread like venereal disease in a bonobo colony. With a specially prepared live set combining wide-angle synths, rolling percussion and a 21st century reinterpretation of the Highland Fling, tonight your Daddy invites you to 'take the high road' to the very zenith of electro-utopia.

Radioclit

Runners-up in the 1996 Eurovision Thong Contest, this aspirationally named duo are colossal Europerves of the highest order. Hailing from Sweden and France, Johan (producer and rapper of Stacs of Stamina) and DJ Tron have been making a name for themselves on the asymmetrical haircut circuit for the last two years with their unique tune selection, bass-pop sensibilities and frankly ridiculous beards.

Now based in a brothel-cum-sauna of dubious reputation in Clapton, East London, their reputation is set to be cemented with their forthcoming invitation to DJ at the opening of a crisp packet outside Top Shop on Oxford Street in June.

Actress

The product of a bizarre experiment which attempted to grow a pair of speakers inside the hump of a camel by the CIA in the late 1970s, Actress trips the circuit-bending light fantastic between man, machine and myrmidon. Growing up in the Midlands on a diet of ash, car tyres and Detroit techno, Actress’s moving parts were catalysed into motion during a power surge in 1986.

After plugging his prehensile arse into the nearest mixing desk the tinny techno strains of Cybotron could be faintly heard pulsating through his tender calf bones. The rest is history, mystery and dysentery. Actress’s debut EP, No Tricks, was released in 2004 on Werk Discs, and his LP is due to hove into view later this year.

Po-ski

An amorphous, asexual and assiduous lump of deciduous rave-energy, Po-ski defy definition, order and
personal hygiene in equal measure. Lurking somewhere near the upper echelons of the Werk Corporation, their wrongcock-tronical DJ sets invite audiences to take a hearty chomp on an overcooked rave-pasty that’s lovingly filled with meaty goodness.

Always ones to embrace new technology, Po-ski DJ sets are now pre-programmed in government-sponsored think-tanks, and developed by anaemic, acne-ridden computer programmers after weeks of workshops with top management consultants and junior civil servants. To provoke interaction with the crows, their Po-ski’s set is tonight sponsored by the British Egg Marketing board, who will be providing free range missiles to pelt them with.
