Work For Love & Fortified Pres. Timothy J. Fairplay LIVE
Fortified & Work For Love Pres. Timothy J. Fairplay (LIVE)
Timothy J. Fairplay first came to our attention as one half of The Asphodells with the late great Andrew Weatherall, but it was his early solo work that convinced us to approach him for a release on our own Work For Love label. A heady, unique analogue mixture of Italo Disco, Chicago Jack, Acid, Electro & Techno inform his sound, along with a healthy nod to shlocky b-movie soundtracks. Tim has had a slew of releases in the last decade for notable labels like Hoga Nord, Emotional Response, Weapons of Desire, Bird Scarer & Nocta Numerica and also records under the aliases Junior Fairplay and Antoine Rouge. Tim will be bringing his boxes of analogue kit up to Glasgow with him for the first time in years and will be supported by local lads Manifesto of Bliss & Electric Eliminators.

RAINY MILLER
RAINY MILLER / KUTE / BLOODY SHIELD
Friday 2nd May
7pm - 10pm
Rainy Miller: From Preston, to Glasgow. Showcasing the first A/V experience of “Joseph, What Have You Done?”, I am honoured to be able to be playing North of the border, for the first time since 2022. Support from Kute & Bloody Shield. Miller moved to Manchester in 2015 and soon recorded and released his debut project, Limbs (2019) a work of northern neo-R&B that was put out on his newly minted own label Fixed Abode and which he toured across the UK in support of US artist Gus Dapperton. Miller followed this up with his second solo project A Choreographed Interruption (2021 via Fixed Abode), a poetic and emotionally penetrating audio-visual study of loss and longing that presented a more idiosyncratic and sonically developed sound. His next release saw him team up with The White Hotel’s off-shoot label HEAD II with his most ambitious project to date DESQUAMATION (Fire, Burn. Nobody). The project was a full bloodied, emotionally visceral piece of work segueing and stretching across a sound world of contorted pop and laconic drill that cemented Miller’s position at the cutting edge of contemporary electronic music.

DIVERGENCE
As electronic music continues to evolve, the boundaries between genres, references, and styles are becoming increasingly modular - fluid, experimental, and cross-pollinated.

common room & Pop mutations present Moin one of the finest live and studio acts of the last decade to The Flying Duck for their Glasgow debut.
Moin are a London-based three-piece featuring Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews of the electronic outfit Raime, alongside visionary percussionist Valentina Magaletti.
Their music recontextualizes a range of guitar-based genres—grunge, shoegaze, and post-rock—through an enigmatic reimagining of the traditional band dynamic. Employing both conventional and unique compositional techniques, their sound is marked by a visceral immediacy that comes to life in full force during their live performances.
Moin walk the line between the reassuringly familiar and the unsettlingly inquisitive.

BODIES IN MOTION 008 - ELLIE STOKES
BODIES IN MOTION 008!
The BIM crew return to the Duck for their second outing of the year, bringing Bristol's finest, Ellie Stokes to town. A bit about Ellie:
With individuality and experimentation at her core, Ellie Stokes is very much her own DJ. Having immersed herself in Bristol’s music scene since arriving in the late 00s, she could reasonably be considered a product of the city’s unique creative culture. Let’s sidestep tired ideas about trip hop and D&B for a second and focus on the West Country capital as a hotbed of broad-minded experimentation, with a community ethos and supportive framework that encourages talent to shine through.
Stokes was already working within the music industry when she started to channel her passion into DJing – she was working at vital independent venue The Love Inn, one of the hubs of Bristol’s underground music culture, where she’s now the booking agent and venue manager. When the female /non-binary Mix Nights DJ course began (helmed by leading lights such as Danielle and Daisy Moon), Stokes found the right nurturing environment to discover her instinct for selecting and spinning, initiating a career which has grown exponentially ever since. In 2018 she became a resident at Bristol’s leading club space Motion, and played life-affirming slots at premier league events and spaces such as Glastonbury, Love International, Warehouse Project, Love Saves The Day, Corsica Studios and Simple Things.
As well as her dancefloor presence, where she’s likely to be plying leftfield house and techno tinged with industrial and 90s motifs, Stokes has a regular radio outlet via Bristol’s leading station, Noods. It’s on these shows her tastes truly open up, touching on ambient techno and electronica, all manner of wave-related sonics, EBM and much more besides. It’s a non-conformist style that favours individual expression over generic consistency, championing the omnivorous spirit of the times and presenting selections that feel honest, heartfelt and constantly surprising.
Stokes’ musical endeavours reach beyond her DJing too–she also helps steer the city’s much-loved queer dance party Bitch, Please! and came on board as a partner in Futureboogie, which will soon branch out into a new label project in the near future.Her keen ear for the unusual and distinctive shine through in these ventures as much as when she’s on the decks, rounding out her positive contributions to all corners of the music scene in Bristol and beyond. She may be representative of the city as it stands right now, but Ellie Stokes is just as much her own vital energy in a tangled network of scenes, communities, parties and platforms that stretches out internationally.
So, there'll be groovy electro, left of centre house, techno, electronica, and a few surprises along the way.
Resident Joey Name is joined by local legend and Thudline captain Roy Don for the warmup. Laurie really impressed when headlining BIM006 and we can't wait to have him back.
This is our biggest night yet, and not one to be missed.

Supertouch - MJK at The Duck w// Tekhole, spxo, and Chrissy Grimez (MC)
Supertouch - MJK at The Duck w// Tekhole, spxo, and Chrissy Grimez (MC)
Supertouch is back with a 4-hour firestorm of grime-tech movement, reptilian electronicism, UK club low-end pressure. Following the river takes us to The Flying Duck; new territory, at the right time.
We're here to rebalance and right the spiritual wrongs that took MJK's Glasgow debut from us in January. Luckily for everyone, we've razor-trimmed the programming, and you'll get to see his Glasgow debut, 4-months late, but with all the hype and calibre surrounding him only tougher and more ubiquitous. MJK is the pointed spearhead of grime-dubstep-techno crossover and a steely proponent of experimental electronic approaches to UK underground music.
joined by a pack of glasgow club sub-bass raptors and mic operators
spxo - our closer from Supertouch in January. local hero, trusted by all, out-mixed by none. pure grime-techno-dubstep overlap with an industrial, broken tech edge of the sharpest calibre.
Tekhole - Glasgow's most-demanded. Uneasy, pure, dystopian electronicism with an unfamiliar, experimental edge slanted on every track.
electro, gqom, broken techno, hard drum, and classic trance. Playing two gigs on the same night like an absolute warrior.
After such a ridiculous precedent was set on radio, the decision was made to work together with 3rdcrush on this one, adding a layer of techno-centred drum arsonism to the back-and-forth.
Chrissy Grimez - Glasgow's champion. 10 years of work in the underground making London look unnecessary. 0141 pride. Chrissy Grimez skips cannily around the 140 range with an intelligence, humour, and nastiness that puts half-hearted MCs on edge and the best selectors on the back foot. If you know Scottish grime, you know Chrissy. NO GRIME REVIVAL WITHOUT MCS.
looking forward to seeing you all there. Worked hard to keep tickets for this as much below a tenner as possible.

Faux Real
It's hard to pin down Faux Real. The Franco-American art pop duo, comprised of brothers Elliott and Virgile Arndt, have been steadily broadening the scope of their project. Their high-octane DIY performances, involving matching costumes, synchronised dance routines, and crowd-splitting high-kicks, are taking on a more established and ever more unhinged form — think Iggy Pop meets Eurodance boyband. Toeing the line between undeniable pop potential and an off-kilter flair lies at the core of everything they do. The contradictions between order and chaos, between the visceral and the artificial — that’s where Faux Real truly shines. That said, no one really knows what is real and what is faux, and that’s the magic of it all.

MAQUINA
The dynamic trio from Lisbon, comprising João (guitar), Tomás (bass), and Halison (drum + vox), made a significant impact on the Portuguese music scene with the release of their debut album on January 27, 2023. With their energetic performances that blend dance culture with heavy-hook songcraft, the band quickly gained a reputation among audiences.
Drawing inspiration from repetition/minimalism-centered styles such as Krautrock and Industrial Techno, MAQUINA. fearlessly explores the boundaries of these genres by incorporating elements of rock and electronic music into their distinctive sound. The album
"DIRTY TRACKS FOR CLUBBING" showcases a mix of pulsating beats, scuzzy bass riffs, and noisy guitars, challenging norms and pushing the limits of conventional music. They have successfully carved out a distinctive identity in the music scene.
One of the standout features of MAQUINA.'s live performances is their commitment to authenticity and musicality. Unlike many electronic acts that heavily rely on machines and programmed beats, this trio challenges convention by excluding the use of machines and
clicks during their concerts. Instead, they embrace the raw power of live instruments, providing an electrifying experience that resonates with the audience on a deeper level.
Ryan and the Limbs
Alright - another EP is done and as per the last one we'll be doing one show in Glasgow to tirelessly promote it. It's called "Your Hopeless Marriage". It deserves better. Do come along on Feb 8th to the Flying duck and hear me, Rob McGuire, Nick Gaughan and Billy Gaughan play our stupid little fingers out. February the 8th, Flying Duck!
