At this time no-one would let me play anywhere, never mind pay me.<\/p>\n<p>Afer the funding eneded, played out for a while with the <em>Twonk sound system<\/em> – highlight of which was a few events in a converted public toilet called spend-a-penny, with strict restrictions on themed playlists – easy listening and fucked up noise, the five elements – all crowdpleasing stuff – we got thrown out after three nights…<\/p>\n<p>At this time, played in the only group I’ve been in – <em>The London Toy Orchestra<\/em>. We played toys. Sometimes I’d do vocals through a space-alien voice changer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When and why did you first start dj-ing and what are the origins of Brokenyolk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seemed silly to not be dj’ing with a stupid large record collection, and most club nights scared me off with monotony and being trendy, and having DJ’s that were good and stuff. All that guff about seamless mixing…<\/p>\n<p>The name Broken yolk came from watching a scene from Russ Meyer’s <em>Beyond the Valley of the Dolls<\/em>, which as part of an “excitement on entering the big city” sequence (skyscapers, planes landing, busy streets, also featured a shot of someone standing on an egg. I rewound it and watched it about twenty times I thought it was so beautiful. Some people believe the egg is a symbol of the soul…<\/p>\n<p><strong>For the completely uninitiated, what sort of music do you play?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Easy listening and records from charity shops.<\/p>\n<p>Fucked up noise, ragga, dancehall, jungle, fast bleepy electronica that isn’t too speccy with bits of dirty hip-hop: in a word – yardcore.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell me about your involvement in the Sick and Twisted nights<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I went along to the night nervously offering a mixtape. I hadn’t much of an idea of any type of scene or playlist – I just played the noisiest records I had and threw in bits of acid house randomly and circus music. The next month I was playing at the night and they kept inviting me back. It took about a year or so until I realised that I was a resident, and it wasn’t just that they had forgotten to ask anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>It’s a wicked night – it’s all about the music and a wide variety at that: they’ve never given me any hassle (although there was a raised eyebrow the other month when I played a whole James Brown record without bringing in the gabba guns).<\/p>\n<p><strong>You’re generally stuck in the “warm up” slot at S&T – does that piss you off?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Occasionally I prefer a later slot, as its very rewarding seeing the dancefloor respond to something special – whether it’s a new tune or your mix, but it’s also an exciting challenge doing the first slot. Gives you the chance to build things up slowly and mess around a bit more without having to keep people dancing – but trying making sure they are by the end of the set. Gives me lots of freedom to play experimental stuff and recordings of films. (midnight slot at S+T on Friday 13th May)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where else have you played and what are the maddest\/baddest\/best things which have happened when you’ve been on?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I did a hip hop and funk set on the ragga system that was at Brixton Reclaim the Streets – which managed to draw a huge crowd and a breakdance contest started – it was a exciting day and moment, and felt like I was in a film.<\/p>\n<p>Having people Nailing eggs to a cross during a religious themed set at OMSK with a live preacher.<\/p>\n<p>My favourite event was about a year ago. I collaborated on a German dance project in Dusseldorf. I played a short set that started very calm and peaceful and ended in absolute punishing abusive noise.<\/p>\n<p>The audience had been herded into a very small scaffolding box covered in bin bags, in the dark. It was a very hot day indeed – an experiment to see how long they would take the abuse before they burst out. They lasted five and a half minutes. I broke the amplifier and had to scream instead. I’d love to do it again, but it is hard to find somewhere where no-one has a high regard for health and safety!<\/p>\n<p>In the last year I’ve done a few sets at festivals in Europe – it feels good to play outside of London where people can be less reactive. It’s nice to be taken at face value too – next one is the wonderfully named <a href=\"http:\/\/audiotrauma.music.free.fr\/lives\/2005\/noxious05\/noxious05.htm\">Noxious Festival<\/a> in France in June.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What other projects are you involved with – do you make tracks of your own, or plan to?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There’s an ongoing project of making short films about “Outsiders” – street poets, untutored musicians etc. I’ve gots some good footage of amazing subjects and can’t wait to edit it into very short films – I want them to be condensed – full of impact and interest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What <em>is it<\/em> about noise?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think there’s a catharsis and excitement and exaggeration that takes place with noise, that can just enhance the feel of it perfectly – like a Bo Diddley record or the Channel One sound system – it just takes the essence of a sound further into your ears, penetrating more deeply.<\/p>\n<p>Radio 4 answer: Without silence, noise is empty… hmmmmm (strokes chin).<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_3898\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-626-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.londonsoundscape.net\/audio\/BrokenYolk.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.londonsoundscape.net\/audio\/BrokenYolk.mp3\">http:\/\/www.londonsoundscape.net\/audio\/BrokenYolk.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.londonsoundscape.net\/audio\/BrokenYolk.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/?powerpress_pinw=626-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.londonsoundscape.net\/audio\/BrokenYolk.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"BrokenYolk.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/gb\/podcast\/uncarved-org-podcast\/id1536820384?mt=2&ls=1\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_itunes\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on Apple Podcasts\" rel=\"nofollow\">Apple Podcasts<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ladies and Gentlemen, we present for your delectation, a load of rough with a dab of smooth, the massive sounds of… Now hosted by the good people at http:\/\/www.londonsoundscape.net\/ Tracklist: 1. pierre henry – la dixieme symphonie 2. king tubby – a rougher version 3. sweet sweetback’s badass song 4. bong ra – soundwave 5. …<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/2005\/04\/dj-broken-yolk-keep-it-chopped-mix\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading ‘DJ Broken Yolk – Keep it Chopped mix’ »<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,4,33,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dwnlads","category-misc-music","category-mixes-2","category-specials"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6864,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626\/revisions\/6864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
