Tim Goldsworthy and Tim Sweeney, two of the most influential taste-makers on the planet joined forces at The Electric Frog Street Carnival on Sunday 30 August.
This mix and feature is dedicated to the memory and memories of Jerry Fuchs, who died tragically, on Saturday 7 November 2009, aged 34. Jerry was the drummer with two of the most outstanding live outfits I have ever witnessed, !!! and The Juan MaClean; and he also performed live occassionally with LCD Soundsystem. Glasgow DJ, Courier of Death label boss and DFA ally, Teamy, a friend an massive fan of Jerry’s said today, “you know, it’s sort of cliché to say but he was geninuely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Incredibly saddening.”
RIP – Jerry Fuchs
The street carnival, which also featured performances from Stacey Pullen, Theo Parrish, Al Kent, Rahaan, Den Haan, Floating Points, Numbers and Optimo, welcomed the two Tims to DJ for the attendant disco-heads and clubbers at the SWG3 venue in Glasgow’s West End. Here’s a live recording of their DJ set for your enjoyment. These two don’t really need an introduction but here’s one anyway…
