nufunk.ca presents BioDiesel (Philladelphia, U.S.A) back to Toronto’s Monarch Tavern (12 Clinton St., 1 block south of College) alongside Toronto’s own Chameleon Project for a double bill of foot stomping, mind-bending dancefloor electronica.
BioDiesel lies in razor-thin space between band and DJ, synthetic and human, man and machine. The duo is an inventive collaboration between Johnny Rabb and Clay Parnell. Modern electronic dance music has always been primarily about beats and basslines—and that fact is ever more present today. Naturally, when you take a world-class drummer and a celebrated bassist who are also passionate producers, the elements are there for a super-charged ensemble that shatters boundaries and dares to take the musical genres they explore to thrilling new places. BioDiesel is coming on strong in 2011 and beyond. The first half of the year has seen performances in every time zone in North America, the release of the EPCarbon Confidential, which garnered favourable attention from Urb.com and other media, as well as some exciting collaborations with top artists in the scene. Before the year is out, they will have released a live album and toured as far away from home base as Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Malaysia.
Drumming legend Johnny Rabb—pioneer of the freehand technique—has performed and given clinics the world over. Recognized as an inventor, author, educator and the Original World’s Fastest Drummer, he is able to execute his passion for live electronic music in ways that few (if any) others are able to effectively emulate.
Clay Parnell is known for his work with Brothers Past, the Join (featuring members of the New Deal) and Philabuster (featuring Korey Riker of the Roots), as well as holding down his own Philadelphia residency as Lo Life. Recently tapped as a consultant for The Bass Players Bible in the styles of Drum n Bass, House and Hip Hop, he is considered the go-to bassist in the Live Electronic genre. Whether shaking a dance club to its foundation, blowing the doors off a theatre or working a festival audience into a frenzy … BioDiesel is the cutting edge of tangible electronic music.
Chameleon Project
Intelligent Dance Music
Focused, driven, improvised..…and all the way live!
The Chameleon Project delivers sleek and progressive dance music, using all the tools at their disposal. Urgent and infectious beats meet deep pocket angular grooves. Surprising textures and cleaver arrangements unite in an atmosphere where anything can happen for the sake of the groove.
This tightly knit quartet pushes musical limits while remaining melodic. With backgrounds in improvisation, jazz, electronic music, dub, and funk they lay down dance music with a brain and improvisation with a purpose.
Extracting the musical innovations from the masters of the past and the vanguards of today, the Chameleon Project distill their disparate influences into a cohesive sound utlitising every sonic weapon at thier disposal creating a unique yet farmiliar musical space where exciting soundscapes and dangerous beats meet improvisation.
This is a band that you have to experience live. No two shows are ever the same. Be prepared for anything, but count on dancing.
