Cloudo & Mayhem return to Glasgow for the first time since the now infamous LuckyMe Rave At The Poetry Club.
Hardcore aliases of Glasgow legends Hudson Mohawke and Shaun Vitamins, their partnership dates back to 2003 when they combined their lifelong love of rave music and propensity for prank calls with a weekly show on the FM airwaves of local community radio station Subcity, blasting out happy hardcore (a forgotten and ridiculed genre at the time), and rapid scratching (as was the fashion). Joining them are two fellow Subcity alumni with a similar snout for Scott Brown tunes and strobe lights: Coy Burn & netgf. But given they were still in toytown themselves when Cloudo & Mayhem were dropping Hixxy and bringing Subcity’s FM licence into question, how the hell did they all meet? Skegness… The mecca of UK rave culture that is Bangface. After a headline set closing the festival with Hudmo on the decks and Shaun on the lights, the pair got word that there was a strong Glasgow young team hosting an afters, and not only that, but they were the dafties that had attempted to poach the crown of best Subcity hardcore show and most gratuitous strobe installations in Glasgow. After turning up to a chalet with a crowd smoking outside and the big light on inside, HudMo told them to pack up the bucky and bluetooth speaker and move it to his deposit-free artist chalet where he instigated a pre-2007 indoor-smoking policy and held court playing classic hardcore tracks and unreleased belters while the young team aired their woes of the modern-day Glasgow independent club scene. A pact was made that night to reconvene at a future date and join the powers of the old guard who bought their records in 23rd Precinct in the 90s and the young prodigies that cut their teeth with usbs of soulseek rips of those records at Fast Muzik and Subcity parties in Stereo.
This party is that future dream.
