A few years back I had Nicolas Chevreux of Ad Noiseam<\/a> on the show<\/a> to talk about his label. Ad Noiseam is one of those labels that puts out consistently great music so it was a real chore to try and shoe horn only an hour\u2019s worth of music into the show. I think I did a fairly decent job although it pained me not to include the other great music from Ad Noiseam.<\/p>\n

One of the artists on Ad Noiseam that took me by surprise was Chevron<\/a>. His track, \u201cBurn Down The Jungle!,\u201d was so mindblowingly awesome that when I showcased<\/a> Planet Mu Records<\/a> there was no question that I was going to play another track by Chevron.<\/p>\n

Since then Chevron has remained on my radar and when he sent me a copy of his live set a few months ago I knew I had to play it on solipsistic NATION<\/b>. Hence, today\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

A little background on Chevron: Chevron is Jonathan Valentine and hails from the UK. Jonathan began making rave and techno from an early age. In 2003 Planet Mu released his first 7\u2033 Swimmin\u2019 Lessons<\/a><\/i>. Further short releases on Planet Mu followed in 2004 as well as a European tour with Ceephax Acid Crew<\/a>. He has also played many shows, including the legendary Kraked Squat Party, with artists such as Venetian Snares<\/a> and Shitmat<\/a>. Since 2003, he has lived in Brighton with Shitmat, who is also the founder of Wrong Music Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hope you enjoy Chevron\u2019s live set. Join us again next week when we\u2019ll showcase the music of Nueva Forma<\/a>. See you then!<\/p>\n
