Tonight (Friday 22nd March) see's
Capracara (Comeme/Unknown To The Unknown/DFA) and JG Wilkes (
Optimo) play the ever popular
Berkeley Suite in Glasgow.
Jonathan Burnip goes under a few aliases such as Automan but is probably best known for his work under the Capracara guise. Joining other practitioners of twisted 21st century acid house like
Jamal Moss (Hieroglyphic Being) and Tadd Mullinix (James T. Cotton),
Burnip's first
Capracara 12" — "Opal Rush"/"Flashback 86," snaking
tracks heavily informed by Chicago house pioneers Adonis, Phuture, and
Larry Heard — came out in 2006 through Soul Jazz. Its A-side was
subsequently remixed by Kit Clayton. The next Capracara release, "King
of the Witches" (featuring a Rub 'n' Tug mix on the flipside), didn't
arrive until February 2009 on DFA, yet Burnip was active in other ways,
remixing as one half of the duo Tiger Timing, contributing re-edit work
to the History Clock label, and prepping material with Quiet Village's
Joel Martin under the name Churchill's Leopards.
JG Wilkes needs no introduction, best known as one half of Glasgow's favourite DJ duo
Optimo (Espacio), Jonnie Wilkes continues to tour internationally, bringing some of the best sounds around to your ears. Things kick of at
The Berkeley Suite at 11pm, but be sure to get down their early as this is one gig not to be missed!
