Gimpo continues the 25 year commitment to following London's M25 Orbital motorway for 25 hours once a year on the weekend closest to the spring equinox.
The 18th Spin is going on right now (Starts: 12 noon Saturday 21st March, and ends 1pm Sunday 22nd March 2015).
Gimpo and crew send movies and images from the road which then appear on Gimpo's website .
While there are no current plans for music releases from Gimpo, Batona Music does get to host the videos on our YouTube channel .
Iron Man Records produced a short film entitled, Gimpo's M25 25 Hour Spin which features Floods' "We Broke: Down (At Work)".
The film provides a glimpse of the drive along side Gimpo's van as it crosses the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge in Essex, and going to circle London hour by hour through the night.
Every year since 1997 for the next 25, Gimpo, Positive Void Communications and friends drive the 2.5 hours loop of the M25 Orbital motorway circling London for a full 25 hours, on the closest weekend to the spring equinox.
2012 starts with some old live bangers and tricks developed for past Philadelphia Laptop Battles.
An interruption of Windows error warnings and alerts tease audiences with the spectacle of a live set riddled with laptop failure only to twist back into song structures. “Keep Calm” keeps the tension and volume up while inciting all to get down via a myriad of samples from the likes of Fatman Scoop, EBN, The Killing, Fergie and The KLF.
“Her Heart” is an inspired remix of Double‘s 1986 international success, “The Captain Of Her Heart”, which ended up getting a nod of approval from Double’s Kurt Maloo himself.
The cover art was remixed as well, in a collaboration between Positive Void Communications (PVC) and Nice Looking Designs. Via PVC, references were added to Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty’s surviving partnership under the name K2 Plant Hire Ltd.
A mobile broadcasting unit that PVC is involved with on Gimpo’s M25 25 Hour Spin, dubbed “The Junior Insurgent Transmitter Ensemble” (by none other than Jimmy Cauty), appears via logo daubed on the trash can. The Cult Of The Yellow Sign makes an appearance, in the form of a Self-Declared Autonomous Peace Zone sign.
Available for free.
