Culprit 1 at CLWB
When: Tuesday 19th January 2010 - Doors 7.30pm
Where: CLWB, 11 Womanby Street, Cardiff, CF101BR
Exceptional Records are pleased to announce two live shows featuring Culprit 1. Culprit 1’s live shows have been consistently entertaining ever since his first effort (amusingly filmed for national TV) ended abruptly in a chaotic mess of exploding speakers and overcooked cabling. He recently played a storming set at SXSW in Austin, Texas before touring the UK with American experimentalists Subtle. He’s also performed alongside electronica buddies Bonobo, Caribou, High Contrast and Mylo.
CULPRIT 1 JANUARY SHOWS ANNOUNCED, WITH STRINGS.
Tuesday 19th January CLWB IFOR BACH (with live strings from the Bryden String Section) CARDIFF, WALES. Doors 7.30pm. Tickets £5. www.clwb.net
‘Screamer’ is Culprit 1’s new single, released January 2010. This is the precursor to his highly anticipated second album album, combining his critically-acclaimed vocal collaborations and cinematic instrumentals to create one breathtaking tour de force of electronic music. Taking influence from legends such as Boards of Canada, Timbaland, DJ Shadow and The Prodigy, Culp’s unusual arrangements and three-minute sampladelic symphonies have won praise across the entire musical spectrum. From Mixmag and Drowned in Sound, to BBC Radio 1 and Classic FM, his appeal is universal thanks to a songwriting nous and structural brevity honed over years of study in both conservatoires and clubs. Those already converted to the Culprit sound include Zane Lowe, Steve Lamacq, Eddy Temple-Morris, Pete Tong, Colin Murray, Annie Mac, Annie Nightingale and fellow Welshman Huw Stephens.
Reviews for ‘Running In Order’ (debut album)
"A dazzling array of influences packed in to every minute. Impossible to resist." DJ
"Leftfield, The Chemical Brothers, Orbital...'Running in Order' is right there, begging to be regarded in those exalted terms. A key record in the new generation of dance talent." BBC Music
"A symphonic masterwork. ‘Running in Order’ could prove to be a defining moment in electronica…a new panorama of possibilities is revealed for all who dare to follow its heels." Drowned in Sound
"Masterful...an engaging listening experience rarely found on an electronic music album. You'd be hard pressed to find another young producer who can make music of this calibre." Beatportal
"Culprit 1 has an innate ability to focus on a feeling." iDJ
"A work of beauty. From the manic drum lace-up of ‘Electric State’ via the warping hip-hop of ‘Hollow’ it’s great stuff throughout." Blowback
