10/10/2008 - Deconstructed - DC Live: 4.3 - NY Disco with guest Tim Lawrence

Deconstructed #4.3: Karl Phillips/Tim Lawrence has been delayed. DC Live will kick off again in December, Arthur Russell biographer joining Karl Phillips for some New York disco mania. Venue TBC, but we're hoping to secure the splendid Townhouse, who do a delicious ginger beer.

20/06/2008 - Deconstructed - Bzzz…click

To paraphrase the late, great LFO - "we're back." Updates have been few and far between at DC HQ of late, with too much work resulting in an early hibernation, we're reviewing records after a year long sabbatical, and also whittling away a series of features on music and film which'll pop up here once they've run in print. Further to our online adventures on Deconstructed Myspace, we're also endeavouring to keep up with those darned kids, with a , linked through the top of the page.

25/04/2008 - Deconstructed - DC Live: 4.2 - Jon Tye

It's been a year since he rocked Falmouth. Recuperated and loaded down with a set of obscure exotica he's been desperate to try out somwhere Jon Tye (Lo Recordings) will be joining us at Falmouth's Townhouse on Thursday May 1st 2008, bringing a little class to the usual inept mixing which plague the residents of Deconstructed Live. Jon Tye is the artistic director of Lo Recordings: purveyors of high-quality esoterica since 1995; having released music by Aphex Twin, Susumu Yokota, Squarepusher, Red Snapper, They Came from the Stars (I Saw Them) and Rothko; as well as compiling sets of Library music by way of Luke Vibert's Nuggets and Barry 7's Connectors. As a DJ, Jon is a regular at the Big Chill, but also counts the Tate Gallery, Guido's in Rome. Barcelona's Sonar Festival and Batofar in Paris amongst his regular haunts. His own music includes the ambient house of MLO, techno as Twisted Science and Milky Globe, his most recent project, a collaborative project, whose recent singles have featured Luke Vibert, James Holden and Nathan Fake. We have the double-barrelled but singularly super Lauren Taverner Brown to thank for these kind words in this months 24-7. "Run from the sleepy fishing village of Flushing, this is probably the only night in the country where the DJ rows a boat to work, whizzing himself and his record bag across the bay! After eight years of running nights around the county, organiser and DJ Kingsley Marshall tells us that this is still the only one of its kind in Cornwall – or west of Hoxton. Since late 2006, Kingsley has been joined at Deconstructed by ex-film critic Karl Phillips who shares his passion for an odd selection of music - they reckon Betty Everett, Luis Bacalov and Lansing-Dreiden belong together in the mix, and neither of them have matched a beat in their lives. Didn't stop i-D calling Kingsley a great DJ. And for you fact fans, throughout the first sixty dates of Deconstructed, only three records were played twice – for a whole 140 hours! So if you like a mash-up that doesn’t repeat itself, and prides itself on being eclectic then get on down to Falmouth. That's true about the three records incidentally, one of which is an operatic version f Here Come the Clowns. Style bible i-D also once called Kingsley a renaissance b-boy, which he's always intended to have printed on a baseball cap 'cept his heads too small to sport millenary. Pity.

20/02/2008 - Deconstructed - DC Live: 4.1 - Victor Malloy

Deconstructed #4.1: Russ Jones (Victor Malloy/The Pangs) It's a new year, and it's a new venue for our 75th (count 'em) date. Karl Phillips and Kingsley Marshall will be playing some records at the splendid Townhouse before making room for the infinitely more talented Russell Jones. Prior to galavanting around the southern states of the US on a record finding tour, Russ recorded Lions and Tigers and Bears with Kenny Mackracken and Mercury Prize nominee (and fellow Deconstructed veteran) Fionn Regan (fall in love with The Girl Who Wasn't There) and his DJ style reflects this, with a playlist he describes as "high brow, low volume." On top of all that, Russ has also turned his attention to film, with Carlos the Dog, his directorial debut, screened recently at the Cannes Film Festival and currently touring film festivals worldwide. A selection of his film material will be screened in the bar. or read our profile of Monsieur Malloy here. We did a feature on the wonderful, though sadly now hibernating, Inertia label too - read it here.

01/09/2007 - Deconstructed - DC Live: 3.10 Residents Night

After an epic adventure on the high seas, Captain Victor Malloy currently rests in hospital having gone overboard and been plucked from the sea by a Coastguard winchmen who chastised him for his inability to row his fishing boat, it'll be residents night at Deconstructed Live on September 28th at Falmouth's Q Bar. As the nights begin to draw in, so the boys seek something a little moodier - with Karl lining up some modal jazz and Kingsley having emerged blurry eyed and dusty fingered from his record collection, delighting in some quite terrifying 1970s horror scores. As The Guardian's John Mitchell put it, "By their own admission, the Deconstructed DJs don't get many wedding gigs; with Falmouth's happy couples preferring the more trad delights of Robbie and Beyoncé. This is a shame because their wholly inappropriate sets of big band Hendrix covers, movie scores, surf rock, broken electronica, Erik Satie, Cuban rhythm and African hip-hop would surely make any post-nuptial knees-up remembered for years. The DJs are music journalist Kingsley Marshall and ex-film critic Karl Phillips, who combine an eager yet inept mixing technique with a passion for the strange. Over the last five years they've enticed names like Rob Da Bank, Chris Coco and Tom Middleton down the A30 with little more than the offer of meagre payment, real ale and a fresh fish supper. Friday's session is a residents-only affair which, in his instance, is no bad thing."

01/07/2007 - Deconstructed - DC Live: 3.7 - Rephlex & the sound of the police

The Rephlex Disco Assault System joined us at Falmouth's Q Bar for Deconstructed Live on Friday June 29th 2007. Kernow being their native land, we were determined to show the boys a good time. Our plans hadn't factored in the chance of the old bill turning up with environmental health in tow with their pesky noise meters, asking 30 people outside inside and the door to be shut, despite the temperature hitting vinyl melting point upstairs. The long arm of the law denied Rephlex representative Grant from breaking out the second half of his set which, we were assured, would have taken the place nuclear. Not having had that sort of attention from the law since we used to sneak an extra hundred people through the door in a venue, long since closed for such irregularities, DC have skipped town and are currently in hiding in Panama until it all blows over (and packing our flightcase with records from NWA, KRS-1 and The Clash in case of future law enforcement intervention).

02/05/2007 - Deconstructed - DC Live: 3.6 - Pilote rocks the show

Pilote (Cert 18/Exalt/Domino Records) will be joining us at Falmouth's Q Bar on Friday May 25th 2007, Stuart's thinking of relocating to the South West (from, erm, Barcelona) so we are inclined to show him a damn good time. As Dill breaks out the cocktails, the residents are promising something different. Kingsley has unearthed some fine Icelandic funk and rediscovered some Eastern European obscurities, while Karl is threatening a disco set. You have been warned - Deconstructed Live. Stuart Cullen’s debut album of strip lit electronica, "Antenna," propelled dysfunctional beats through paper-thin orchestration with admirable grace. He remains best known however, for the chirpy whistling of "Turtle," which accompanied the one2one ad campaign. He has since recorded for Certificate 18, Series 500 and Team LG’s Kennington label, with his latest album, “Pop Will Make Us Free,” released in March on Exalt.
