TOKAMAK was set up by Ian Tregoning and Matt Silver from the experimental djs Weird Beats Collective. Their music policy fuses together house-tempo breaks, driving electro, leftfield electronic funk and full-on hardcore which usually gets people onto tables shouting like wild beasts. The name Tokamak
comes from TOROIDALNAYA
KAMERA
MAKNITNAYA.
Its an experimental nuclear reactor developed in Russia in the
1950s by the Nobel physicist Andre Sakharov. It works like a miniature
Sun by fusing hydrogen atoms together to produce helium. It releases
a short but colossal burst of energy. The Tokamak below was recorded
releasing over 10 megawatts of energy per second. The first 12" "Setup/Mechanical Dub" was recorded at Plank Studio and released on Bushwackas Plank label in August 2000. The follow-up "Mekka/WBLS Throwdown" is well overdue and should appear soon on Plank. "Mechanical Dub fits straight in my set" Andrew Weatherall (Various) "You can nearly get a whole dj set out of this one! Nice dirty thick-sounding stuff.. fantastic" Paul Hartnoll/Orbital (Funkt/Various) |
