Watch and Listen to John Cale's Keynote Online
On February 15 underground rock royalty and founding member of the Velvet Underground, John Cale, cut the red ribbon for Modular and Sydney Festival's Circa 1979: Signal to Noise with a Keynote speech at the Seymour Centre.
Hipsters rubbed shoulders with electronic pioneers in a packed out York Theatre as Cale showed off a few snaps and described working with the likes of Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Happy Mondays, The Stooges and LCD Soundsystem before capping things off with a mind blowing rendition of "Heart Break Hotel."
If you missed the speech or want to listen/watch it again, ABC's Big Ideas are streaming it online.
January 28, 2010 at 10:23am in circa 1979: signal to noise
Fresh from loping in at #2 and #74 on triple j's Hottest 100, Sydney's ART vs SCIENCE have recently achieved Gold status in the ARIA Charts for their the eponymous debut EP (out through Green/MGM). The Hottest 100 result also effected the re-entry of the EP into the Top 5 on iTunes and back into the ARIA Top 40. It is currently sitting at no. 1 on the physical singles chart.
Released last May, the independently-released 5-track EP contains radio favourites Parlez-Vous Francais?, Hollywood, Flippers and Friend in the Field. Its performance in the charts was no doubt augmented by the three piece's scene-stealing live show, which has seen the band play at countless festivals and sold-out gigs around the country over the past 12 months.
ART vs SCIENCE have again teamed up with producer/engineer Berkfinger and are currently in the studio writing and recording their anticipated debut long-player. The album - to be released independently through Green/MGM, with label services assistance from Parallel Management - is due out in June 2010. Keep an ear out for the first single in April.

Roger Sanchez - USA
Where you know him as 'the S-Man' or 'Roger S', Grammy Award-winning producer and iconic DJ, Roger Sanchez, is without question one of the biggest and most influential names in the history of House music. In a groundbreaking career that spans nearly 30 years, the native New Yorker has wowed crowds in every corner of the globe with his trademark thumping, sexy and soulful brand of House, and, in turn, has helped define the tag of superstar DJ for generations to come.

The Ian Carey Project - USA
Having sold over one million records worldwide and having toured the planet a number of times over playing DJ gigs and live PA sets, in 2009 American-born electronic musician Ian Carey is a global House music phenomenon. An established and highly successful Producer since the late 1990s, his catalogue of hits include summertime anthems like 'Lose Control', 'Say What You Want' and last year's chart-destroying 'Get Shaky' (under his current guise 'The Ian Carey Project'), while his self-run record label 'GFAB Records' is regarded as one of the best in the business and has peddled the musical wares of key industry icons and House music heavyweights including Mark Knight, Paul Rincon and Soul Avengerz. Always funky, always fresh and always up for raising and rocking a party, The Ian Carey Project is an explosion of 100% pure House music that moves the body, ignites the mind and soothes the soul. It's time to get shaky with it.

Renowned for writing tunes that top charts and get snaffled up by TV shows like 'CSI: NY' (and ad campaigns for films like 'Snakes On A Plane'), and lauded for remixing enormous artists like Public Enemy, Kraak & Smaak and Laidback Luke; this flying Dutchman is currently producing part of UK rapper Example's new album in between rocking gigs all over the planet and concentrating on his next album for Sony/BMG worldwide.

Comprising the prodigious talents of Andy, Dizzy and Young Einstein, Ugly Duckling have been delivering knock-out blows with their humorous style and piping hot live show since 1997. Leaving a trail of revered releases in their wake (including the infamous 'Fresh Mode' and 'The Leftovers' EPs, and the truly audacious 'Taste The Secret', 'Bang For The Buck' and 'Audacity' LPs), this triply talented team's motto of 'no management companies, no major labels, no media powers and no marketing budgets' has proven to be an intoxicating and refreshing recipe for global music industry success. Big, bold and full of soul, Ugly Duckling's beats and rhymes are truly the sound of now.
Dilated Peoples - USA
Dilated Peoples energized the rap underground in similar fashion to fellow West Coast crew Jurassic 5. The duo of Evidence and Rakaa came together in the mid-'90s, when they met at many of the same hip-hop shows; after deciding to start making tracks together, they formed Dilated Peoples. Once they added to the fold an excellent turntablist, DJ Babu of the Beat Junkies, Dilated Peoples recorded the singles "Third Degree" and "Work the Angles" for ABB Records. The latter became an underground hit via hip-hop radio and club play, prompting Dilated Peoples' signing to Capitol. The Platform followed in May 2000. The group's follow-up for Capitol, The Expansion Team, was released with rave reviews as well as a Top 40 placing, and the group hit the road touring with the film Scratch, a documentary about hip-hop DJs and turntablists. Now are set for their first ever tour down under.
