Today is the final show of the eight week Gulls Window Circus series ‘The 2000s’. It has more of a rock sound than others shows in the series, but still has the characteristics found in post-2000s sounds, such as influences drawn from almost any genre, liberal use of instruments beyond the guitar/bass/drum profile, and freedom to follow wherever their sound goes, not worrying about fitting in with the popular sounds of the day.

The second to last week of the 8 week Gulls Window Circus ‘The 2000s’ series fully concentrates on what was partially introduced last week: the re-alignment of rock to incorporate the post-2000s tools and sounds. Now firmly in a post-genre world, rock is free to incorporate anything its creators choose into its palette of sounds. While the results may sound quite normal in 2026, at the time these records were released, most were revelatory. Now they just sound right and good.

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!
