#707 – The 2000s Pt6

December 30, 2025

The 6th week in the eight week Gulls Window Circus ‘The 2000s’ series looks at the redefined rock toolset that the full acceptance of electronics brought to bands. The freedom of a post-genre landscape allows all sorts of other influences to enter. For instance, a Tarwater track in the second hour samples the guitar intro to Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies, and Peaches And Gonzales channel the B-52s. Dave Clarke plays with a rock re-edit as he puts his spin on a Super Furry Animals track, while the typically Latin-touched Fila Brazillia and The Funky Lowlives add Motorik, dub and beat stylings.

Week four of the 8 week ‘The 2000s’ series on Gulls Window Circus includes some electro house, electronic hip-hop and Grime to soak in with new examples of the sounds established in preceding weeks. Special tip to check out the relative unknowns DJ T., Dwight Trible & The Life Force Trio, Fetish 69, Andy Ditzler, Karl Denson, Xploding Plastix, Blanketship and Central City, all of whom can be held up favorably against the big names in this show: Dizzee Rascal, Offer Nissim, Squarepusher, Señor Coconut, Benga, Benny Benassi, Dave Clarke, Paul van Dyk and Carl Craig. You will love the opening track by Rework – if you don’t remember them, much to check out from them later!

The sounds of these 3 types of artists are woven into one cohesive show that should make you smile and wiggle around.

The third week in The 2000s series on Gulls Window Circus has 23 tracks from three years before or after 2000 so the focus is tight, and the sound stays in a clearly not-rock space. A member of the (rock) band Hood is here glitchily as Downpour. All the tracks do what they do quite well, hope you have a chance to listen to them all.

Today is second show in the Gulls Window Circus ‘The 2000s’ series. The many different sounds of that new era show themselves today, along with new example of the influence, on display with the just released Violet Nox track ‘Wanderlust’ from the album Silvae. Electric Company (Brad Laner of Medicine) is a great example of rock moving to other territories, as this series focuses on. Re-evaluating the 2000s artists with today’s perspective shows that many records that slipped past us when they were released sound current today, and in fact are prime candidates to add to your brain catalog of music.
