    Project Dark present ‘Gramophone De Luxe'
    live at 93 Feet East, 150 Brick Lane, London E1
    Wednesday 18 September 2002 - 8pm
    with special guests
    Camp Actor / The Actionettes / Miss* Hypnotique
    DJ Nick Brown (Intoxica!)

    'Gramophone De Luxe' is a dynamic live DJing show using three customised gramophone players alongside giant live video projections. Sculpted 7” singles created from human hair, etched glass and circular saws are used as the primary medium for generating an orchestra of sounds and spectacular related images. 'Gramophone De Luxe' adds live drums, bass, guitar and keyboards to the previous show - 'Excited by Gramophones' - which took the form of an expanded DJ set-up and was presented at sold-out shows during John Peel's Meltdown 98, Sensations, Berlin and Sonic Boom Live at the South Bank Centre. Project Dark will also be playing at the Cube, Bristol on 14 September and at ‘Turnament’ at UCLA, Los Angeles, USA on 9 November 2002.

    Camp Actor
    Camp Actor have, with varying degrees of accuracy been likened to Neu!, Suicide, Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, Gary Numan (yes him again) Add N To (X) and a host of other electronic music pioneers, but none of these references quite hits the mark. They are electro but not clash; they are danceable but not dance; they have a sense of humour but are not lounging on a kitsch sofa.
    Following their recent sell-out show at Hoxton Hall, Camp Actor release their debut single ‘Ultrafashion’ / ‘Antifashion’ on Monday 30 September 2002 on the newly formed Press Industries label

    The Actionettes

    An all female glittery dance troupe based in London who perform to 60s girl group pop (unless they want to dance to something else...possibilities include - ‘Nobody But Me’ - Human Beinz, ‘Sheena Is A Punk Rocker’ - Ramones, You’re Gonna Miss Me’ - 13th Floor Elevators, I Dig Your Wig - Buddy Guy) They like to sparkle, have fun, drink cocktails and dance!

    Miss* Hypnotique www.hypnotique.net
    The evolution of electronic music has been a passion for Miss* Hypnotique ever since she wrote her dissertation ‘Space Age Music and the Moog’ on cult electronic/easy listening bands in Birmingham. She has been pursuing a theremin obsession since 2001 and regularly performs her diverse repertoire of classical, avant-garde and popular music in an extraordinary live show of top quality musicianship that has been described as both world cabaret and downright insanity!
