Losing Feeling

A Cure for Headaches
Superstitions can offer a variety of treatments for people who suffer from debilitating headaches. These include wrapping the skin of a snake or a hangman’s rope around the temples, holding tightly onto some scraped horseradish and pressing one’s thumb against the roof of one’s mouth.David Pickering, Dictionary of Superstitions (Cassell: 1995)
Look. Listen. October is a time of deep superstition, and the good and wicked alike begin strapping on their armor. The long frosted night is clutching its cold hammer and the bloom of the summer rose is as faded as the echo in a cracked sea shell…But wait! Don’t get weird and squirrelly. There are simpler, less-rarified remedies for this than the snake or rope—or at least ones that can be practiced publicly without fear of strange and vicious reprisals.
Tuesday October 27 dawns at Fortune Sound Club with three Vancouver bands, No Gold, Basketball and Humans, ripping holes in the darkness for No Gold’s first official (and long awaited) release, a 7” single, The Broadway to Boundary. And just as there are many superstitions, many ills, and many cures, there are many serious reasons to go and hear No Gold. Yes! To Go. To Hear. To Dance. But capturing this trio with pure reason is akin to standing around with one’s thumb pressed to the roof of one’s mouth while everyone else is snorting dried moss cultured on a human skull. Strange and unnecessary. So. Let’s get down to it, shall we?
You really just want to know what makes this band at this club on this night worth venturing out for. Right? Well, quite simply, No Gold is something like inflating your tires to 75 psi (respect: Hunter S. Thompson) and carving a sharp curve through a mountain pass. Like jabbering insults at a loan shark. Like getting all AC/DC with an electric eel. Like having the last fistful of dollars at the last gin joint on earth. Dangerous but thrilling. And this is good. No Gold strings out jacked up beats, oscillating bass lines, and frantic guitar, each of which is impossible to deny. They are a swirling blur of sound, charged and breathless. I mean it: your synapses will crackle. Your muscles will jerk. You will smile. People will smile at you. Drinks will taste better. The clocks will melt. Ah! Vancouver will be awesome and an October night will ring truly better and more startlingly than ever.
So. The message is clear: get after it, because no one should go gently on a week night, especially when there is so much to enjoy. And, after all, fine electrified music soothes the temples every time.

a bit about... DJ MARVEL!
Q. What was the most memorable party/gig you've played?
A. This past summer at Rock The Bells where I was fortunate enough to DJ for Slum Village. The show had extra significance as the day before Slum had lost one of the founding members of the group - Baatin (R.I.P.) I was super geeked when I walked into the trailer to meet T3 and Elzhi, I just remember thinking whoa these guys came up J Dilla! The show was hype as f*ck and I had goosebumps the entire time, here is some footage to check - video
Q. What are your 3 favourite tracks right now?
A. Busy Signal - Da Style Deh (Douser Remix)
Whitney Houston - Million Dollar Bill
Consequence & Rick Ross - The More I Get
Q. What was the first album you bought?
A. The first cassette I bought was 2 Live Crew - Nasty As They Wanna Be, and hid that from my parents heavy! First CD's I bought were Colour Me Bad's first album and The Mo' Money Soundtrack from A&B Sound in Surrey :) And when I started DJing the first 12's I bought were The Fab 5 Leflur Leflah Escoska and Outkast - Wheels of Steel.
Q. What is your favourite food/meal?
A. My favourite meal right now would have to be tuna belly sashimi from Kadoya...melts in your mouth.
Q. What are your hobbies outside of DJing?
A. Riding my bike, drinking coffee, twitter, learning about new music, traveling.
Q. What are you currently working on?
A. I'm just putting the finishing touches on my throwback mix for Straight Goods on the Beat which should air in the next few weeks. Also, The Freshest are heavily working our "What the F?" mix featuring tons of our original remixes!
Q. What was your first job?
A. Fleetwood McDonald's in Surrey. My fondest memory there was eating random creations in the back room - caramel sauce on hamburger buns stands out as a fav.
Q. What was your first DJ gig?
A. DJing at the Urban Well in Kitsilano which is no longer there. It was a really good place to get my feet wet. Parking was always a biatch so I def paid mad dues carrying a nights worth of records to the spot.
