[a]pendics.shuffle
is but one of many aliases used by LA’s electronic music mastermind
Kenneth
James Gibson. Since he first began producing in 1997, his
style has morphed and expanded into a number of different genres, each
released under a different production name (seven to date, with more on
the way!) From the glitchy abstract breaks of Eight Frozen Modules,
to the minimal dubscapes of Dubloner, to the experimental
downtempo electro-house noodlings of Premature Wig, to
his recent Hiss and Buzz collaboration with electronic
pioneer Jack Dangers (Meat Beat Manifesto, Tino Corp.,)
Ken Gibson refuses to be pigeon-holed and is limited only by his own (seemingly
limitless) creativity. His consistently exciting and highly prolific output
has landed him releases on such diverse and respected labels as Tigerbeat6,
Mille Plateaux, and Planet
Mu, but it is on Seattle’s ORAC
where his four-to-the-floor dancefloor tendencies come out to play as
[a]pendics.shuffle. With releases also on Matthew “Saftey
Scissors” Curry’s Proptronix
and his own label Adjunct
(featuring the likes of Bruno Pronsato, John
Tejada, and Pheek,) [a]pendics.shuffle
busts out moody, dirty, thumping minimal techno aimed squarely at the
arse. Recently back in the States after a successful European tour, do
not miss this opportunity to witness the man XLR8R
magazine has called “an American Richard D. James” in a very
special, very LIVE performance.
