 >>>>>>Hey  ,I do a lot of impovised & sequenced experimental techno/drum n
bass using guitars & sampling here in Loiusvile Ky. Ive been quite
fortunate to get plenty of gigs lately. Had some weird ones too. The
resident dance club seems to be booking only hardcore punk so I play were I
can.Yeah the CLASH disc is awesome Also have a listen  to Mogwai's Fear
Satan remix ep.(import) Uziq & Surgeon do some fine stuff but the tour de
force is the Kevin Sheids- My Bloody Valentine mix. Truly innovative stuff.
The middle section sounds like a looped bomb blast in slow motion. Its loud
at any volume. Im a little surprised no one mentions Oval on this list.
Their music definately incorporates looping & some bizarre manipulation.
TAke care       K LAW
