Hive Twilight City 2008
Hive Twilight City is a series of four high profile audiovisual performances over the course of 2008 paying tribute to a potentially overlooked part of Liverpool's essence: its industrial and business buildings, its bricks, Liverpool the space - the iconic and mundane, the city centre and the suburb. Each event will work as a celebration of existing city structures as the city itself moves onwards, a snapshot prior to the city’s ongoing mutation into a premier 21st Century City. In each event familiar sounds are reworked, familiar sights distorted in a feast of the best in new electronic music and state of the art projected visuals.

About the Artists
Jah Wobble / Jaki Liebezeit / Philip Jeck (UK/DE)
Jah Wobble has established a worldwide reputation as a dub innovator since he helped reconfigure the post-punk landscape as a founder member of PIL alongside John Lydon. Likewise, Jaki Liebezeit's precision rhythms propelled Can to seminal status as one of the most influential rock groups of the 1970s. Liverpool based sound artist Philip Jeck creates sound collages from the grooves of ancient and forgotten records, evoking contemplation of the past as the future happens. An unmissable collaboration.
The Bug featuring Warrior Queen (UK/JA)
Kevin Martin’s work as The Bug has seen industrial noise blend with Jamaican influenced rhythm and bass to staggering effect. For this event The Bug is teamed with the incredibly exiting Jamaican MC Warrior Queen. This promises to be one of the most explosive live shows of 08.
Shackleton (UK)
Co-runner of the Skull Disco label, Shackleton has seen his dubwise melodies and intricately percussive workouts championed across the globe, making connections between diverse audiences of techno lovers and bass junkies alike.
