Get down to the Cow for some live techno from Heatsick headlining Bad-Timing's 11th anniversary downstairs at the Cow.
"Heatsick
batters a solitary Casio through a myriad of effects,
looping up a coarse, crisp and twinkling out-house music
into a wonderfully queasy eternity, teasing out melodic
and rhythmic mantras to an off-kilter, Burroughsian effect
that wins on the floor and never forgets to be lo-fi
fun/funk. Combining a palette of sources from early
Chicago house mixtapes (in sound, texture and mixing
technique) through to musique concrète and psychedelia,
Heatsick proposes a live dance music that expands and
unlocks the senses."
Steven
Warwick (also known as half of duo Birds of Delay) is
active in the music, visual arts and club scenes. Recent
releases include the acclaimed debut LP 'Intersex' and EP
'Déviation' on Bill Kouligas's PAN label, where labelmates

Reworks' closing party in Cambridge). Recent and upcoming
activities include Unsound festival and visual arts shows
in Berlin and Glasgow.
"This
is dance music through and through, albeit probably unlike
any you've heard before" - The Quietus
"There's something about the sense of containment (all the
sounds come from one box), the character of the sound
(circuits which sound like they're operating at close to
overload and the sense of play within these constraints
that makes this as overwhelming as any dancefloor
experience you can imagine" - The Wire
