'When The 2000s Clashed: Machine Music For A New Millenium' is the story of how, 25 years ago, a new form of electronic music - known as electroclash - reignited a tired clubland and gave the indie scene and mainstream pop a shot in the arm in the process. Over this 3LP highlights set, carefully curated from the 5CD box of the same name, the collection showcases the back-to-basics electronic beats that heralded in a new generation of exciting and innovative new artists - Hot Chip, Peaches, LCD Soundsystem, and Ladytron, to name a handful. It also shows how the sound and attitude of electroclash plugged into the decade's cutting-edge indie bands, (Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party), and became intrinsic to the way chart pop would sound in the first decade of the 2000s (Kylie, Goldfrapp). The collection also shows how the scene's underground DIY ethos evolved and inspired the next generation of electronic buccaneers (Simian Mobile Disco, Justice Vs. Simian). 'When The 2000s Clashed' brings together a dazzling, diverse selection of artists, producers and remixers from right across the 2000s zeitgeist - from The Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk, from M.I.A. to Soulwax and many points in-between. For good measure, there's also one side of LP3 given over to the original post punk and electronic sounds (including Kraftwerk, The Human League and Cabaret Voltaire) who'd played such a big influence on the electroclash sound. 'When The 2000s Clashed' was compiled and sequenced for Demon / Edsel by Jonny Slut, founder of London's electroclash citadel Nag Nag Nag. Established in 2002, in a small Soho venue called Ghetto, 'Nag' quickly became THE hottest club, first in London and then in the whole world. A glorious mess and hedonists' hotspot, a night at 'Nag Nag Nag' (if you could get in!) saw the capital's club kids, students and creatives rub up alongside names from the fashion and music worlds - Björk, Pet Shop Boys, Kate Moss, Boy George, Alexander McQueen, and Pam Hogg were among the regulars. Madonna visited, so did John Peel, Yoko Ono asked to perform and did, Throbbing Gristle's Chris and Cosey DJ'd, so did Marc Almond, and Too Many DJ's. Justin Timberlake was refused entry (too many bodyguards)... even Cilla Black was spotted getting down! Jonny shares these reminisces - and many more - in the collection's sleeve notes. Named after the 1979 Cabaret Voltaire classic, 'Nag, Nag, Nag' became the first place to hear the seemingly endless flow of thrilling new tunes coming from every direction during that decade of dance. Many of them are included on this collection.
