ND-012- High School Clicks - Student Body

Yet another 2011 live improvised set from High School Clicks recorded directly from the mixer. This shorter set started with the idea to create some minimal house for the kids to zone out and enjoy. As the boys become more and more comfortable with their solely hardware based set, you can tell that their voice is becoming more and more distinct.

The majority of this 30+ minute mix is centered around the minimal feel, but by the end the real wankery starts. Some might say it is a skewed take on world beat IDM, others might just call it fucktard bullshit, but the ending is at least worth one listen to form an opinion for yourself.

As more and more of these sets are being recorded, you can only imagine that they will continue to get better and tighter until you won’t be able to tell that they are off the cuff experiments or created without the aid of any software programs.

ND-011- High School Clicks - Gentlemen, Dim Your Machines

2011 Live improvised performance recorded directly from the mixer (of the best sound). High School Clicks, the combo of Robad Pills and Louie Applesauce are caught playing live at a House Party in the sweltering heat of Jacksonville Beach in this recent recording.

The boys, armed with their favorite equipment came with only a BPM in mind and set to work to create the perfect atmosphere to keep the feet moving and the party grooving. In my continuing pursuit to attempting to show that not all improvised music has to sound like a muddy mess, allow me to present to you “Gentlemen, Dim Your Machines” by High School Clicks.

ND-010 - Louie Applesauce - Good to See You Again, Louie Applesauce

2011 Mix created especially for Neon Doom and yes the name is in reference to the 1973 Alice Cooper film. After more than a year away from making a proper mix, Louie Applesauce of Hot Mess/High School Clicks returns to bring a collection of bangers out from the vault with one or two new ones to get your mouth watering.

The original techno scene was the true heir to the punk rock throne. As punk rock became more and more formulaic, in the garages, factories, and fields across England, Detroit, and Chicago people began to find a new form of expression and musical experimentation. It is rare that a new form of music comes into existence that carries no pre-existing boundaries (experimental/noise/avant-garde etc. are actually some of the worse offenders of boundaries, even if the artists don’t always want to admit it) and the original techno was free of all of this.

A scene where no one really knew what they were doing; so everyone was welcome and equal. Borrowing and stealing from each other to create bigger and better songs with the only goal being to have a good time and dance.

Over time, assimilation took hold and the smell of money and success started to strip away the openness that once existed. Still, the dance underground is still one of the tightest, most supportive, and most self critical in existence.
