Live recording from RK of JERK's set at Nexus Night Cafe from the morning of Sunday 13th June. In addition to a considerably early 04:43 sunrise, the morning also featured free (exclusive - non-web available) JERK CDs and DVDs, film screening etc.
02:00am to 06:00am on Sunday 13th June at NexusNightCafe
RK of JERK ushers in the 4:43am sunrise with a nebulous four-hour DJ/computer improv set. Fusing eclectic afterhours downtempo grooves into the characteristic dubby JERK sound, RK's set will feature nods towards avant-electronica while retaining a deep house credibility. Additionally short videos will be screened during the event, and gratis JERK CDs/DVDs will be available to take away.
Perfect if you're in Manchester centre after a night out and need to wind down your body, but perhaps not your mind. Nexus Night Cafe serves food and drink from 2am-6am, although the venue has a no-alcohol policy.
Some recordings of previous JERK nights are available on the audio stream page.

Formed as a quintet in 2000, Thee Moths evolved into a solo/collaborative improvisation project. Live shows now take one of two forms - electronic voice/laptop/synth improv with audience participation, and completely improvised 'singer/songwriter' shows where the songs are written on the fly during the performance from suggestions by the gig goers. Thee Moths second action is entirely about improvisation and audience engagement.
Unfortunately this event has been cancelled due to an electrical fault at the venue.
The next JERK event at NexusNightCafe is scheduled to take place between 2am-6am on Sunday 13th June. Further details will be available soon.
2am - 6am on 9th May 2010 at NexusNightCafe (Saturday night / Sunday morning)
RK of JERK will be welcoming the arrival of this Sunday with a hazy dub-ridden banquet of sound - featuring nods towards genres perceived as (but perhaps not) house, jazz and techno. Using computers to facilitate layered mixing and edits on the fly, RK will fuse a compound from existing tracks and his own interventions. Some relaxed, some rousing, never too fast. RK has a bpm limiter of 110.
Listen to JE and RK mixes (including some recordings of previous NexusNightCafe gigs) in the 'audio stream' section.
