     Stable, Substrata, Qube Konstrukt and Slap Records present

     FIRST SIGNAL - Phoenecia (Schematic Records, USA) live, Saturday
     December 18th at The Corner Hotel with supports Qua and Cambion
     live,DJs Quockenzocker and Dave Pham.

     Phoenecia are Joshua Kay and Romulo Del Castillo.  They began in
     1995 as an electro group known as Soul Oddity, changing their name
     to
     Phoenecia when they began making deeper more experimental sounds.
     Joshua and Romulo also run breakthrough experimental label
     Schematic(housing the output of Phoenecia, Richard Devine, Otto Von
     Schirac
     and more) and as PhoeneciA make crazy beat laden experimental
     analogue
     glitch  which encompasses sounds and influences from dub, hip hop
     and
     electro for Schematic,Warp and more. Touring throughout the last 2
     years, their jaw dropping 2 man live show has received countless
     accolades throughout Europe and the US,  including a brain-frying
     much-mentioned set at Sonar Festival 2003, and are now set to tear
     up Australia.  Expect complex percussive figures and fractured
     rhythms,robotic beatbox fragments, squirting, jittering basslines,
     and improvised mayhem as they rip their recorded work into
     shreds... an
     unmissable chance to see 100% live experimental music as it should
     be but rarely is... raw, innovative, engaging and unpredictably
     brilliant.

     In support, Melbourne's own Qua (Cornel Wilczek) will showcase his
     recent album on Surgery Records, Painting Monsters on Clouds.
     Foregetabout folktronica, kiddietronica, or even pigeonholetronica
     as Qua is operating in his own league. This is Quatronica. In fact
     aspects of it don't even sound all that electronic, drawing upon
     elements of world music, folk, and even rock in this incredible
     fusion. www.surgeryrecords.com.

     Cambion (Graylands, Uncomfort Records) is making waves both in
     Australia and internationally for intricate, emotional, intelligent
     but definitely not serious experimental sounds - from frenetic
     glitchcore to gentler sweet laptopscapes.  He will be playing a 3 -
     project mashup with sounds from his upcoming releases as Nightmare
     Man(Uncomfort Records), Aaron Quick (Graylands) and Cambion.  If
     you
     haven't heard Cambion yet prepare to have a new favourite artist to
     follow around his many projects...  www.graylands.com

     Both are at the forefront of Melbourne's experimental underground
     and  put on an essential live show to boot...

     DJs Quockenzocker (Synaesthesia records) and Dave Pham (Forklift)
     will roll with the punches and push all the right buttons...

     Signal is a new touring brand for live experimental music, from the
     strangest to the most fucked up music you will hear, showcasing
     international and local artists that redefine the meaning of a
     "live show" and prove that analogue is evil and laptops can kill...
     this
     is the first Signal show and the start of the Signal/Schematic
     records
     touring schedule... stay tuned for more Signal events in 2005.
