Dylan Nyoukis Appreciation
 

He deserves a thread on here. He has made some of the most consistently mindblowing noise in the world since the mid 90s. Prick Decay I can honestly say that along with Cock ESP are my favorite Harsh Electronics/Noise band of the 90s. Decaer Pinga and now Blood Stereo are just as great. Not to mention the countless collabs and solo records. I really like his Noise becayse it fits in with the older more indsutrial based Noise of yesteryear (shit like filthy turd, genocide organ, etc.) as well as the more modern Noise, or Punk Noise as I like to call it (Wolf Eyes, Sick LLama, etc..) and is better than all those bands. And of course Chocolate Monk is one of the coolest labels on the planet; it seperates itself from being just a noise label by releasing a whole slew of different types of out music, its just a freak music label, period.

fave nyoukis records:
Decaer Pinga-Omitting the Troll (double cdr one w/ runzelstirn and gurgelstock)
Prick Decay-Dada Junk Spew! cassette
Prick Decay-Who's Who in Hospialization? cd
Prick Decay-The Mechanics of Disbelief 12'
The Mongoloid Men-Into the Void cdr (collab with wolf eyes, they played real well together)
Nyoukis-Norse Fungi Festivus cdr
jaap blonk w/nyoukis-doubletwee lp
Blood Stereo-The Magnetic Headache

 

no love for nyoukis? fuck this board, i even put that picture of him with kim there to peek the interest of you ignorant motherfuckers

Haha sorry, yes, I appreciate his work. Really like Blood Stereo.

:fuckyou:

jaap blonk w/nyoukis-doubletwee lp, i bought this at the colour out of space festival and should check out more.

I'd rather insert needles under my fingernails.

^^^ I think I'm going to use that as an album title.

I think that there are a few people who like his records on here, and an even bigger number who think you are a pompous, snobbish 'know it all'.

dylan nyoukis posts on this board sometimes, i like his music, but i have no desire to suck his cock.

Dylan's Colour Out Of Space festival on Brighton is simply excellent - a great 3-day hoedown. Where else can you see Byron Coley arm-wrestling Savage Pencil?

Got this LP a couple of weeks ago, great drooling tape manipulation and feedback weirdness....

 

"Ceylon Mange is the trio of Dylan Nyoukis (Chocolate Monk proprietor and sound molder in Blood Stereo, Decaer Pinga), Karen Constance (Blood Stereo, Smack Music 7) and Bill Nace (X.O.4, Vampire Belt). The Maiming Path extends from the group's previous mind melts with two side long (de)constructions that are assembled from a variety of mangled loops and electronics, guitar feedback/slaughter and cromagnon vocals. The results are a murky stew, as each emerging sound creeps upon the listener like a blackened sloth nightmare. It's the type of organic brain tangle that is rarely unleashed by the spirits these days. The LP is pressed in an edition of 410 and housed in a full-colour printed sleeve featuring Karen's outsider artwork."

i saw blood stereo last year. they were really good but i couldnt appreciate the show since i wasnt in the mood for anything after being traumatized by machinefabriks godawful show right before them, and john butcher/eddie prevost's amazing set before him....

thats how i am in real life too

and yes ceylon mange were/are(?) great

Nice piccies Nefeli - where were these taken, out of interest?

He grew up in a wee Scottish village a few miles from me. Out in the sticks. Still blows my mind that someone grew up way out here pre-internet and managed to latch onto and then contribute to this weird underground lo-fi noise scene. Totally inspirational.
And yeah, that Ceylon Mange record is hot. Saw him play a duo set w/ C.S. Yeh in a dingy jazz cellar in Edinburgh once, that was definitely memorable.

Decaer Pinga supported SY on the Nurse tour, if memory serves, along with Afri Rampo. At least that was the line-up at the Glasgow show. The audience was almost entirely bewildered, I think he got some boos..

I managed to miss Dylan's set at Colour Out Of Space, alas, but he was very good when he played with Neil Campbell earlier last year.

I'd never heard of him until now. Thanks for the thread.

im sure he was expecting some boos, considering the majority of sonic youth fans know them through the alternative rock connection and not the out music connection. but thats one of the many reasons i love sonic youth, they support underground artists like no other.

on another note, how fucking amazing was that show? i love all three of those bands!

It was fucking amazing. I was fucking thirteen!

That always make me laugh, people booing at shows (and movies shown at film festivals). "BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Doesn't even make sense... it's just comedic.

I'll put that on the back of a t-shirt if i ever get any done..
just a bum from blackburn..
but while i am here.. some shame faced self promotion.. theres a new record on No Fun,, the copies i have come with an extra cd-r..
you can find it here http://www.chocolatemonk.co.uk/non_monk.htm
have a swig.. glug!

Whoo-hoo - new LP loot from Dylan. Looks like I'll be breaking into ye olde piggie banke again :D

ton of free sounds now up at UBUWEB

thankyou dylan!

Cheers Dylan! Any news as to who may be appearing at Colour Out Of Space this year?

now you can hear it.

all should be revealed by the months end/start of august. I can tell you that it will be later this year, oct 30th/31st Nov 1st, halloween weekend!

oh yeah, and in other news, blood stereo are playing cork in ireland dec 5th and are opening for SY in dublin Dec 6th

i used to mock-stalk dylan here.

i love prick decay, decaer pinga, blood stereo, his solo thing...pretty much everything. what he does is something simple and envolving, but always manages to bring a different side of that sound somehow, often with collaborations, less often but more brilliantly by sheer sonic force.

his stuff that he's been doing with ludo mich is also incredible. ludo mich was a super wierd dada sound artist/visual artist who does scraping violin noise and vocal manipulations. he's one of the few of the, what i refer to as, "60s noise dudes who wore suits", who seems to be just as much in place in today's sub-underground junk noise scene. when watching him play you can't help but see a similarity between his playing and spencer yeh's playing, and this guy has been doing this for 40 years!
check out this performance between ludo mich and blood stereo...

i also just got the beautiful music company casette. its dylan with k. salvatore from nnck, its real wierd and abstract as one would expect. and short, so that's always good. i really like it, wana hear more. also that scottish band usurper (noise band, not the popular metal band) is real awesome too. i think uk noise is generally my favorite regional noise, its all real dada or trippy or junk or abstract. even the mega harsh dudes know to mix up the squealing feedback with more colorful sound.

wow batreleaser you sure do love sucking up to shitty noise artists

no offense dylan
i bought all your lathes
this guy batreleaser needs to stop thinking lambsbread is a hardcore band

wanna arm wrestle, grouchy?

i wasnt insulting you
i was trying to get batreeleaser to get his lamsbread out of his butthole
but if you insist

theres a brand new Blood Stereo LP on PAN (pan-act.com)





TIP OF THE TONGUE


Blood Stereo
Your Snakelike King
Pan #5
LP


Edition of 330 hand-numbered copies, pressed on 140g vinyl and housed in two-toned silkscreened PVC sleeves from the UK duo of Dylan Nyoukis and Karen Constance. Your Snakelike King takes up where The Magnetic Headache left off, going deeper into the kind of nocturnal zone where sustained tones and eerie low-level atmospherics combine with the rhythmic misappropriation of small instruments and domestic appliances to create a crude form of homemade psychedelia. Early Blood Stereo releases all but exploded any notion of ‘aura’ in favour of a violent prole-punk evisceration of prissy ideas like technique and cohesion but this latest incarnation seems to have much more to do with creating and developing a specific atmosphere, one that is often as dread-filled and disturbing as their earlier sides but that somehow has more (spontaneous) compositional depth and a lot more mystery and style. There are some beautifully weird half melodies sunk in here, ghostly keyboard patterns that bloom for mere seconds before disappearing in a smoke of lungs and percussion. I’d say Blood Stereo are at the apex of their own self-invented form right now, with a feel for improvised electro-acoustic weirdness that is as subtle and sophisticated as NNCK and you’d do well to file this one right next to The Magnetic Headache and refer to em both next time you’re looking for a way to navigate yourself clear of the noise = noise cul de sac. It’s all in here. Recommended.

Thanks!

These days I think he's my favourite current UK musician. The gig he did last last year as a quartet with Phil Minton, Jaap Blonk and Luke Poots was one of my musical highlights of 2013.

I'm not actually sure I've listened to anything of his since that blood stereo record on PAN....talented guy though.
