Nexus returns to the Welfare Clinic the week of his album "Silicone Poplars" launch
A 15 track melange of ambient,breaks and concept electronica, this is one for the virtual bag for sure
Featuring remixes from Mrs Jynx (Planet mu),Acroplane's Vertical 67,Dublin's Snelcomjon and Centrifuge artist Scrubber Fox
As Nexus himself put it
"Sounds in this LP are basically a mash of everything I love about music, complete still-life ambience, distortion, elements of UK bass, techno structures, "sound art", trip-hop and the odd amen. Silicone Poplars gets the title of the album because it has nearly all of these features crammed into one track"
Check out the video for Collapsible Structures here:

Heres my previous blurb on Nexus / /
Nexus,aka Brian Smith,is a Dublin/Berlin-based composer and performer of sparse ambient electronica mixed with breakbeat, glitch and homemade electronics.
With a wide variety of production styles,this man will keep you ibnterested with a diverse selection of glithy,breaksy,ambient and core-y tracks,some of which are soon to be released
Check out www.myspace.com/nexuscore for tunes and info on some exciting upcoming releases Nexus has in store - - of particular note to the author is "Silicone Poplars" - a smashin blend of drifty meodies with a snappy break and floaty highs - a crackin track -
More tracks and shtuff here - http://soundcloud.com/nexus
His live sets often include a homemade interface (really cool piece of kit!) which tracks the movement of gameboy cartridges and chess pieces to control sound events. These homemade devices and interfaces have been on public display as interactive installations, but mostly play the part of instruments in live performances. ---
See the pics Ive attached for a minimal amount of explanaion!
Choon in!
