Let’s have another coffee with Tony Surgeon.<\/strong><\/p>\n >>> From my perspective I want to create a transformative experience with music. I want people to step outside themselves, and see the world in a different way, to open their minds to consider something in a way that they hadn’t before. <<<<\/em> Full Line Up<\/p>\n techno minimal wave | dizzy house doors | 23:00 Uhr James Manning travels to Birmingham to meet with Anthony „Surgeon“ Child in the company of his spiritual advisor Lady Starlight.<\/em><\/p>\n On Malvern Hill overlooking Birmingham and the greater West Midlands I sat next to Lady Starlight, Doris and Anthony Child. Led puffing up a lofty trail to a grassy vantage point that revealed a panoramic, 360 degree bird\u2019s eye view of the UK\u2019s \u2018second city\u2019 and a rolling Welsh countryside, I hung out with the Surgeons, drinking rooibos tea, eating biscuits and talking about techno.<\/em><\/p>\n The Child\u2019s drive an electric powered BMW with a reverse navigation system from the future, and winding up the summit to where this interview took place I mentioned the old Cadbury factory I saw somewhere near Bromsgrove. Still a good place for chocolate apparently. If we were all talking, names of surrounding neighbourhoods or unfortunate word placements of others were made to sound like sick fetish puns. I was told about mid-\u201890s record stores in Japan dedicating shelves to the music of Jeff Mills\u2019s Live In The Liquid Room CD, whom Surgeon featured, and besides the toilet humour it felt like a pretty clean way to get to the top.<\/em><\/p>\n Surgeon \u2018shocked\u2019 parts of the world only a week or two later by taking the stage in Paris to perform a live set of modular techno in support of Lady Gaga. Dressed casually in jeans, laced shoes and a worn Coil band t-shirt brandishing the phrase \u2018constant shallowness leads to evil\u2019, Child, introduced by Chew Fu collaborator Breedlove, entered the huge Bercy arena hooked in the arm of the bold red suit, make up and fringe of Lady Starlight.<\/em><\/p>\n Anthony Child has been releasing music for 20 years and his enthusiasm for techno comes across strong as ever. \u201cI was talking to Lady Starlight about it last night,\u201d Child says, \u201cit\u2019s like on this very basic level, being a DJ, I hear music that is exciting and I really want to share it with people.\u201d Child continues, \u201cit\u2019s not about me being some stupid Muppet on stage or whatever, I\u2019m just like, this is amazing, I want to share it with people\u2026and blow their heads off.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Surgeon\u2019s bombastic productions and DJing style make Child the revered artist he is and for the UK he\u2019s as canonical to electronic music as what the likes of Robert Hood and Jeff Mills are to the US. He runs two labels set up almost entirely for his own output, Counterbalance and Dynamic Tension, formed British Murder Boys with Karl O\u2019Connor, is Trade with Blawan, helped define \u201890s Tresor, and has and will be a constant source of inspiration for music makers and DJs everywhere.<\/em><\/p>\n For almost two years Child has held down his own radio show for London broadcaster Rinse FM and dedicates this new found platform to showcasing the fresh, unreleased and unsigned music that comes his way. \u201cI\u2019ve never done a regular radio show, barely any radio,\u201d Child says. \u201cI\u2019ve never really done anything where I\u2019ve had to talk on the mic and announce and introduce, so it really came at a time when I was looking for something new.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Radio is a new route Child is exploring to breach his comfort zone and feels it\u2019s a new outlet to connect with music fans, and their feline friends. \u201cThis fun and really absurdist thing on the show is where people ask me to say hello to their cats, so I say hi to Mr Tibby in Stoke Newington or something like that,\u201d Child humours. \u201cI also give posthumous shout outs to dead cats, it\u2019s another really nice way to connect, somehow.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m pretty much mixing it end to end,\u201d Child explains of the way music is played on his show. \u201cI\u2019m not really hacking it to pieces like …..<\/em><\/p>\n Read the full Interview by James Manning ________________________ Let’s have another coffee with Tony Surgeon. >>> From my perspective I want to create a transformative experience with music.
