CMJ 2012: Crystal Ark Party Machine and Kilo Kish played FADER Fort

On Saturday afternoon, the final day of CMJ 2012 and this year's FADER Fort, music lovers gathered at 130 Hope Street in Brooklyn to see Supreme Cuts, Mr. Dream, Crystal Ark Party Machine, Hunters, and Kilo Kish play. The sets represented a diverse range of the forces at work in independent music today, and the performances ranged from hip hop to punk to genre-bending electro.First up was Supreme Cuts, the Chicago-based duo of Mike Perry and Austin Kjeultes. It was early in the day, and as such, FADER Fort was far from full. But everyone present was nothing short of spellbound by their live set. Perry and Kjeultes occupy an interesting space in the electronic music scene: live, they have the lightening-quick MPC drum machine reflexes of Araabmuzik, the slowed-down, hopelessly-damaged sound of fellow Midwesterners Salem, the druggy ambience of Clams Casino, and the creepy disembodied vocals of Burial. This is high praise, of course, for a couple of producers most of us have never heard of. But talent as great as Supreme Cuts' is unlikely to languish in relative obscurity for much longer.
Next up was Mr. Dream, the Brooklyn punk-rock group of Adam Moerder, Matt Morello, and Nick Sylvester. This reviewer, admittedly, doesn't have a ton of experience with punk music, but Mr. Dream seemed to be having an off day. While their performance was energetic, Moerder's vocals were shaky and, at times, sounded amateurish. Of course, punk is a genre that places a premium on raw energy and eschews more traditional virtuosity.The average basic sensor light can cost as low as $10 each and has a life span of up to five years but Remote control light feel it is not beneficial to go for the cheapest option as you need some control over the sensitivity of the light which the cheap ones do not have,we recommend going for a mid range model; depending mainly on the weather conditions it sustains. In that sense, Mr. Dream succeeded: what its performers lacked in technical precision, they made up for in sheer volume.
The strangest set of the day was unquestionably that of Crystal Ark Party Machine: it was 100% spectacle and impossible to look away from. Front man Gavin Russom tweeted before the set, describing his band (and I use that word loosely) as "the alternate dimension total theater DJ/dance incarnation" of the Crystal Ark. Russom and his fellow producer wore white from head to toe, and were accompanied by two dancers in sequined green bodysuits, and two dancers/vocalists in fishnet body suits, puThe included V60 battery has 60 Watt hours of capacity, larger than most iphone protective case.

Besides all the factors for which china tablet need to choose the option of solar lights, there is one more importance behind these lights and that is the reduction of carbon footprint in the atmosphere. The most living and hectic issue is now the global warming demon who is warning us every day for our existence and solar lights is a little but one of the most effective remedy to get rid of this serious issue. The music itself was crisp, LCD Soundsystem-esque synth and percussion with spoken and sung vocals. The audience was highly amused at first, but seemed genuinely engrossed and impressed by the end.Hunters, the Brooklyn punk-rockers led by Derek Watson and Isabel Almeida, played next. Almeida, with her bright pink hair, was magnetic onstage. She screamed, growled and danced furiously over noisy, tremendously percussive, cranked-to-11 grunge instrumentation.
