David Shane Smith, 1/1, Ray Argyle at Where...

David Shane Smith hosted another entertaining evening at Where, started in fine fashion by 1/1. 1/1 is 19 year-old wunderkid Michael Marcel Castro, who plays and mixes on a laptop, sometimes accompanied by random drum hits and live drumming... 1/1's music moved from James Bond type spy themes, through Eno ambience to kind of a Lymbyc Systym vibe with the live drummer... Great stuff...

David Shane Smith continued the electronic theme through the first half of his set, playing 'Additives', 'Miserablism', 'Tarmac' and a great extended version of 'Creatures of habit'... These were accompanied by some freaky dancing and visuals which gave the set a rave feel - or at very least the chill-out room at a rave. The second half of the set was mostly acoustic, ending on a mellow note...

I saw a few songs from Ray Argyle and band, who sounded very accomplished. The songs had a vaguely Dylan-esque feel...
