Goatlab Indoor Festival Rave!!!
Trippmatic
Poland's Biggest Breakcore DJ makes his UK debut @ the Goatlab! Trippmatic has been organising gigs and playing at virtually every breakcore gig in Poland for the last two years! He did a wicked mix for Peace Off called "Break Beathoven Got Heroin" and used to live in Bristol! Check out some of his mixes here: www.myspace.com/trippmaticsk.
War Against Sleep
Goatlab brings the outdoor vibes to the back room of The Croft with a special set from local festival favourites War Against Sleep. Expect a psychedelic audio-visual feast with a goaty twist.
Michael J Rocks
As the 1manarmy collective continue to push the boundaries of live electronica, one act stands out from the rest for both the most intense live experience and for having the best comedy name. Prepare to Rock. To Michael J Rock. s.

The Gusset Bashout Lecture:
The Matrix: The Pantomime
Abstract: From folk stories and fairy tales to science-fiction and fantasy, western literature has always used metaphor and simile as devices to put across an idea or philosophic argument removed from the prejudices that may otherwise surround it. This lecture will analyse “The Matrix” series of films from the perspective of a traditional British pantomime to draw parallels between the mediums and demonstrate how this abomination of poor story telling, worse acting, and designed-to-date special effects could be better enjoyed with cross-dressing, smut and audience interaction.
'Where’s Agent Smith?'
'He’s behind you!'

Goatlab @ The Croft, Fri 18 April 2008:
Syntheme (Planet Mu / WeMe)
Lou Wood make's her Bristol debut with her phenomenal fucky acid. If you liked the The Doubtful Guest's acid rinse out at the last Goatlab you don't want to miss this. Another Planet Mu newcomer shows us how it should be done. Rumours abound about her true identity. Want to know more? Come and see for yourself.
Toecutter (System Corrupt / V/VM) - Australia
All the way from Australia, Toecutter is the original breakcore mentalist. And it's been a long time since he was last in Bristol. Having shared a house with Candi Hank in 99 and taken his name from the character in Mad Max, the desert sun must have got to him as he became the most frightening and original thing to mash it's way across musical styles in memory. Or is it just "Progressive Progressive Progrsv House"? Either way, he's a long way ahead of the rest of the game. With releases on System Corrupt, V/Vm Test, Digital Vomit, Bruchstellen, Mutant Sniper, and Death$ucker you know this must be quality.
General Disarray (Blunderphonics / Laptop Battle)
Matt Jackson one of Bristol's most talented up-and-coming breakcore producers! He is also one half of the Blunderphonics crew, who have organised many a good night down at the legendary Black Swan. He beat Parasite in the first round of Laptop Battle 5 only to be knocked out in the final by house favorite Defazed. His music is raw and full of energy, and he has also been known to play his live set entirely from a game pad using Max/MSP! See for yourself:

Knowing you are unlikely to be low on things to do over Christmas and the New Year I though playing a gig for your entertainment was just as likely to clash and interfere with you personal calendar as it was to compliment it. To overcome this problem I have whored myself liberally across as many gigs as possible this festive season. If your winter festivities are shy on Gusset, you may wish to consider attending one of the following. And if you are hardcore enough to attend all of them the sets will be different at each.
Plummet's Bristol Breakcore Christmas Carnage @ Timbuk2, Thursday 20.12.07 – feat The Teknoist, Jay Nom, the 1manarmy residence, & Gusset Radiophonic DJ set
The Goatlab @ The Croft, Friday 21.12.07 – feat Shitmat, Binray, Kilka Serco, the lab residence & Gusset live set
HIJACK Camelot - The Knights of the Turn-Table - Medieval NYE Party @ Timbuk2, 31.12.07 – feat. Dimitri from Powys, ASBO Disco, Lyricist Hobo, Cheeba, Blazey, Superisk & Wascal, & Gusset.
"Fancy Dress Encouraged: Kings & Queens, Knights & Squires, Witchcraft & Wizardry, Dragons, Jesters and Damsels in distress... Be imaginative!"
Dan Gusset's Desert Island Disks @ (CAMRA South West pub of the year 2007) The Hillgrove Porter Store, Thursday 03.01.08
Goatlab line ups are also booked up for Feb and April but I won't bore you with that now.
Here are some pretty colours:

The long awaited, Gusset remix album Ask Dr Kim, is out now on Death$ucker Records. Buy it here. Only £3! [500KB MP3 samples of each tune also on page]
PR:
Death$ucker Records releases the secret weapon of the Bristol underground music scene on an unsuspecting world. Gusset have been scaring friends and punters alike since 1996, unleashing aural assaults at breakcore, techno and hip-hop nights around the city. Not to mention anywhere else that will have them, from Brighton to Madrid. They don't fit comfortably into any nice little pigeon hole and have a sound all of their own, but strangely no imitators.
After a promising but stalled start as a low-fi Amiga 1200 toting indie band that made Portishead sound like the theme from My Little Pony they regrouped and concentrated on a purely electronic offering. Their break came in 2002 when Death$ucker head honcho Parasite booked them to support Fanny and Venetian Snares on board the good ship Thekla (the floating venue brought to Bristol by Vivian Stanshall as the Old Verity Showboat). Since then they have jumped at the opportunity to support any act their name sounds funny next to.
This remix compilation brings together remixes of their 2004 self-released Skidmark CDr. With remixes from the likes of Planet Mu's Shitmat and Teknoist, Cock Rock Disco's Jason Forrest (née Donna Summer), Manchester's king of mash-up Hoonboy, V/Vm's hardoff (aka M-Pi) and a collaboration with the Adverse Camber collective's DJ Spazmo. Further offerings include several of their own remanglings of the material, familiar to their live sets, and a track by Zod's Binray that claims to be a remix but neither he nor they can identify what was actually being remixed, it's all too long lost in time. Either that or he pulled an Aphex Twin on them.
Typical comments include, "Why do such nice people made such horrible music?", "Stay away from my children", and "I had no idea you were so depressed/twisted/perverted*"
* Delete as applicable.
Even the great John Peel said of them, "Is there any word in the English language more exciting that the word Gusset?"
The crowning glory is the gusset flashing transsexual nurse neon artwork. If you thought "nu-rave" couldn't take any more irony, then you've yet to "Ask Dr Kim"!
Tracklisting:
01. Parasite - 99 Skanky Hoes
02. Gusset - Need Brave Strokers
03. DJ Spazmo vs Gusset - 99 High Hoes Don't Make It Right
04. Gusset - Mumble Implanted in Dub
