August 25th: New Gerald Remix - Quad In Blueblackness - Atlantic 22 (A Guy Called 808 Mix) |
A new remix was released on 1st July 2013 (which I hadn't noticed until now!). It's by DJ Quad In Blueblackness and it's called "Atlantic 22". Here's the blurb from the press release: "The 2nd song, produced by “Dj Quad IN BLUEBLACKNESS”, called the “ATLANTIC 22 (A Guy Called 808 mix)”, flirts with an updated Swahili-version of the classic 1989 original release of the song “Pacific State”, paying homage to the original group “808 State”, with “A Guy Called Gerald” as the remixer! Fasten your seatbelts, this track is taking flight to the east with a very haunted sax and world-Trans-Atlantic strings!!" |

July 19th: New Rebuild (Gerald/Graham) date announced in Gent, Belgium on September 7th |
A new date featuring Rebuild (A Guy Called Gerald and Graham Massey of 808 State) at Retro Acid in Gent, Belgium, on Saturday 7th September 2013: They have reunited to perform all-analogue live acid jams with a distinctly retro approach. When the men responsible for seminal tracks as ‘Pacific State’ and ‘Voodoo Ray’ get back together, we got excited. They will be using all the old Roland gear as the 101, 303, 808 and 909. Graham: “To some extent it’s slightly nostalgic but it’s not really about tunes we’ve written before. About 70% of it is pure improvisation. It’s all about setting the system up using drum machines and monosynths with little sequencers in them, then jumping off the cliff holding hands.” This will, without a doubt, be a remarkable performance! |
