Eclectic Method are a London based trio of audio-visual artists consisting of Geoff Gamlen, Ian Edgar (aka Cutswift) and Jonny Wilson (aka B.R.K.) Some would call them remix kings with their wide ranging and commissioned video mix-tapes, but they are no typical VJ’s. Eclectic Method claims to be one of the freshest live shows in music which is no surprise, as they have recently played such popular events as Glastonbury, The Festival, Winter Music Conference, BBC’s One Big Weekend and several major film festivals. Top companies like Blackberry, Motorola, MTV, Spike TV, Oakley, Adidas, Apple, AOL and Red Bull have all tapped Eclectic Method for content-launch parties.
They quickly developed their audio-visual bootleg style into live performances featuring video turntables (Pioneer DVJ-1000) and mixing the visuals and audio live. The only way to describe it is sensory overload- which certainly proved true when the Lost in Sound/Use Your Head crew caught them opening up for Amon Tobin on the Rocks off Boat Cruise concert. Although we are no strangers to the jam boat, the atmosphere that night was very different from the typical “in the round” setup of the venue. Giant white sheets were strategically placed to create screen draperies, alongside multiple projectors and A-V equipment. Unlike anything else we’ve seen before, the trio blasted the crowd’s membranes with visual Pop-Iconic movie, TV, and bootlegged clips all cut together in a dance-floor wiggling madness.
