PLANET HYPE: LEEDS


Having just posted about DMZ in Leeds, I was thinking about all the nights forthcoming in my new city and there are some massive ones on the horizon. 

Exodus pretty much runs anything dubstep-related up here so everyone can thank him for putting on some of these nights (as well as Outlook Festival so big props to the dude). 

Here's a few big nights coming up:

2nd October - DMZ @ West Indian Centre
9th Ocotber - Winston's Garden (Silkie, Quest) @ The Wire
10th October - Vagabondz (Coki, Bar9, Mr. Lager, Trolley Snatcha) @ Leeds Met Union
15th October - Deadmau5 @ o2 Academy
24th October - RAM vs. Beatdown @ Victoria Works

So people there is a busy month ahead of us!

SUBDUB PRESENTS EXODUS & DMZ @ WEST INDIAN CENTRE


Anyone in the Leeds area on friday night neeeeeeds to go to this. It's gonna be a certified banger with a messy line-up. Any of you at Leeds Uni (like myself) need to get familiar with Exodus and the SubDub fam. They run things dubstep-related up here.

The line-up is mad with the Digital Mystikz & Loefah, N-Type, Goth-Trad, Silkie and Quest gracing the Iration Steppas Sounds System in room 1. Then we have Breakage, SpectraSoul, Commix and Ramadanman tearing up room 2.

If you dont't already know, you should know better!

Tickets £11 + BF available from Tribe, Crash and Jumbo Records. More on the door.

MPHO - See Me Now (Benga Remix)


Benga is a clever boy! His new remix of the new London beauty, MPHO (pronounced Mmmm-poh), is set to be a crossover success! The track is entitled 'See Me Now' and it is a powerful number from the UK's reply to Santigold. The original track was produced by Switch who has worked closely with Santigold and M.I.A who are in the same bracket as MPHO. In a way she is kind of like La Roux in that her style is Prince-esque and avant-garde, therefore, it's only right that she gets the dubstep royalty remix treatment. Will she be like La Roux in the sense that her songs regularly get remixed? Who knows? Her debut album 'Pop Art' is set to be released Oct 19th, so if you like Santigold and M.I.A then check her out.

DISRUPT:ON INC. EXCLUSIVE: JAYOU

Meet Jayou, he's one of the scenes rising stars and my my my has his producing come along in only a year! He's more on the electro fidgety wobbly side of dubstep and his sound is big! Moreover, he gives away most of his tunes so for free so make sure you join him on facebook to get these and show him some love! He has also agreed to do an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW for us hear at Disrupt:on Inc. Here's what the man had to say :

-----------------------

So Mr.Jayou for those people who for some reason don't know...whats your name and where do you come from?

James, originally from Birmingham now living in Manchester. JAYOU's from the Jurassic 5 song.

What's the dubstep scene like up there?

Pretty f*ckin big - this year's definitely going to be a big one for dubstep. Everyone seems to be on it, the D'n'b heads are loving it, the electro heads are loving it, even the rockers are loving it!

How has this year been for you? Any Label Interest....have you been signed yet?

This years been good, crazy to think I only started making beats about 12 months ago. There's nothing solid yet but a few things up in the air. I haven't been signed yet but I've been doing a couple of official remixes for some big labels and I'm going to start an E.P in the next month which should hopefully move things even further in the right direction.

Where is the best place you've played and which of your songs get the biggest reactions?

I've got my debut gig next Monday at Hit'n'Run, Manchester, then will be playing all around between now and Christmas. I'm off to NYC for Christmas and New Years, so will hopefully grab a set over there, which'd be f*ckin awesome! Lets see on Monday...

Mixing or Producing - which do you prefer?

Producing, but only because I haven't fully experienced the Djing side of things. Once I've got my feet down and start playing big shows I'm sure the buzz will be amazing. I love coming back to a track after a day or so and re-listening to it and being really really pleased with it. The next step will be playing out tracks that I've made the night before, that's gonna be fun.

What have you got on repeat on your iPod at the moment? And whose sound are you feeling?

On my iPod you'll find everything from comeback kid, postal service, Udachi, Sub Focus and Bar9 - I've got a really massive taste in all kinds of music. I generally don't listen to much dubstep on my iPod, it needs a massive system to give it justice so I tend to wait till I'm in a club to really appreciate it.

What did you listen to when you were younger? and when did you first get into dubstep?

I started out on punk then found out about d'n'b, I was hooked on that for a few years which is what really made me want to get into producing. After moving to Manchester and hitting the d'n'b scene for a bit the Djs started dropping the odd dubstep tune, so I'd go home and hunt out more on the Internet. At the same time I was getting into my electro so I guess that's where my crossover kind of sound comes from.

There's a lot of complaints about the samey-ness of dubstep at the moment, especially as the 'robostep' sound of the likes of Datsik, Excision even Rusko etc has become extremely popular, leading to lots of people trying to re-create it...what's your take on this?

It's true, but I don't think it's a bad thing. When you start producing you just want to recreate your favourite tracks, there's nothing wrong with that and it's a good way of learning - by breaking down what you hear and trying to re-create it. If we all made something new every time we produced there just wouldn't be a scene because everyone would be going off on mad tangents! Some of the straight up wobble stuff is starting to bore me though. I like stuff which switches up and changes every so often, which is what you'll find from my sets, a straight up hour of the same songs would just bore me. It's always good to drop something people aren't expecting.

What can we expect from you before the years out? any big collaborations in the pipeline? Big nights? Basically we wanna know what the future holds for Jayou?

I'm just about to start a collab with Diplo, a remix of a tune which is going out on Mad Decent so that's pretty f*ckin exciting. I've always thought of Mad Decent as being a big thing so being asked to work on a track with the man himself is just nuts! I'm running a night over here too which is already established in the states, it's called SubDivision and is going to be running in Manchester once a month for the next three months with me playing at each one alongside a few friends, then in Jan we're putting on a massive party which is going to have a killer line up, so hold tight for that! I bumped into Farma G (Taskforce) at a Red Bull party the other week and spoke about getting a track together, so hopefully it'll actually happen!

Any Shout Outs?

Yeah man big up to all the blogs who have posted about me, big up to all the DJs who have played my stuff out and big up to Hit'N'Run, Monday Murkage, Subdivision & Bigger Than Barry.

-------------------------------

Just like to say big ups to Jayou for taking the time to do this! If you're in Manchester next Monday make sure you go show support for his debut set at Hit 'N' Run! Also keep your eyes peeled for his upcoming stuff with Mad Decent boss Diplo. We're expect big thing from Mr. Jayou so make sure you grab anything of his you can! Here's a few for you now...

RUNNING THE SCENE: DUB POLICE


Dub Police has completely taken over the scene in recent months. Caspa's label, a sister label to Sub Soldiers, has had huge success both with releases and its bi-monthly Dub Police nights held at London's clubbing landmark Fabric.

Dub Police have a very healthy 31 massive releases under their belts and they are plenty more to come. DP032 will have LD on the buttons (International Roots (LD Remix)/King Of Kong), then comes D1 (TBC) on DP033 and badboy producer EmalKay will be releasing his HUUUUUUUGE riddim When I Look At You, which has literally been blowing up clubs for the past few months, as DP034. They celebrated their 30th release at BM-Soho a couple of weeks back, with the tunes provided by The Others and Dub Police new boy Trolley Snatcha.

They have a knack for unearthing the next big thing, and have all the freshest talent in dubstep signed to their label. Just look at Trolley Snatcha, who has just had his debut release with The Future/Scattah, and is now one of the most hyped producers in the tear out scene. They have wide ranging appeal as well with artists such as LD, D1, Giant, Unitz, Distinction, Dubwoofa and Subscape.

Another aspect of Dub Police are their hugely popular residency nights at Fabric. The popularity of these nights seems to increase as the scene gets bigger and bigger. They started at Herbal, before taking a slot in Fabric's room 3. However, the very quickly outgrew this room (it was one in, one out business), and was moved into Room 1 (after one HUGE night in room 2). Even though the crowd is a bit mainstream and the music a bit too much sometimes, these nights are ridiculously popular with 3,200 people passing through Fabric's doors to see the label's DJs showcase their talent.

Ya'ave a license fah dem dubz? Yes, they f***in do!

GET FRESH : STEREO PANDA

This brand is from across the little pond in France. They've cooked up the perfect mix of great design, originality and general freshness. The price is fairly high for the average man at 35 Euros for a shirt BUT what you are getting is a high quality, limited edition shirt, most of which only about a hundred are made. More importantly, you can walk around with a smile on your face because you know that most people won't have one! It's always annoying when you buy something fresh and then you walk out of your door only to find some mug (with sick taste)wearing the same one!

The style is reminiscent of Billionaire Boys Club / Stussy / Mishka and those sorts of brands
with themes of robots and monsters etc but with the help of a cert french 'je ne sais qoui?
The bright colours & parodies are very original! Watch out for their forthcoming collaboration with Crooks & Castles as it's gonna be BIGGG!

FRESH KIDZ : INSTRA:MENTAL


Instra:Mental (Alex Green and Damon Kirkamduo) have taken a pinch of jungle, a scoop old school hip-hop and RnB, and a dash of minimal techno to create a new sound. Some call it slowed down drum & bass, others call it experimental dubstep. Who cares. All we know is that is fresh, original and exactly what all producers should aim to do - push the boundaries.

Their latest release 'Watching You / Tramma' is almost too smooth! 'Watching You' has got fellow leader of this new sound dBridge (Exit Records) on the vocals who's almost angelic notes perfectly compliment the deep, ambient bass. This sound is so hard to describe but for those who like their music to be in strict genres call it retrofuturistic DrUmB n Bass.

Hopefully, if music continues on this tip then 2010 is going to be an amazing year. With NonPlus+ on their back and Club Autonomic in their pocket this duo are set to take the music world by storm and have started to do so already. Either get on, or get out of their way.

INSTRA:MENTAL INTERVIEW WITH BEATPORTAL (7TH SPETEMBER)

Many journalists are finding it difficult to categorize your music. How would you best describe it?

We don’t really like to categorize our music, we just like to think of it as electronic music.

Ok. Well then, would you say you’ve challenging people’s understanding of contemporary drum & bass? If so was this your intention?

We’ve certainly noticed that a lot of people have turned their attention back to drum & bass since our music started gaining recognition.
We did not intend to change the scene at all, we just did our on take on what we thought could be done with it.
We felt that with a little bit more thought and effort, and not focusing all of our attention on writing for the dancefloor, there was a lot more that could be done while working at 170bpm.

There are many different elements in your tracks, ranging from Vangelis to Photek. Who would you say you’ve been listening to get to this sound?

We both adore all aspects of music. We live for music.
It has always been a huge part of our lives and it ‘s very hard to name a particular artist that inspired us to write what we write.
Our inspiration comes from a huge melting pot of sounds and different artists.

With so many varied sounds and tempos within your music, how do you set out doing a DJ set?

We mainly play at d&b clubs at the moment and people know what to expect from us because of our Autonomic podcasts, which is great for us as the crowd who listen to the podcasts can relate to what we are playing and really enjoy what we do.
We will be doing live sets in the future which will incorporate a lot of different tempos and genres.

Being tagged primarily as drum & bass producers do you get to reach out to varying crowds?

Yes, we played at DMZ recently for our friend Loefah and have also played at FWD as well, both sets went down really well.
In October we are playing at Scuba’s night in Berlin, Substance, at ‘Berghain’ alongside Neil Landstrumm, Joker, Scion and Tikiman and Scuba. So our sound is definitely reaching out to other crowds, which is something we are especially pleased about.

Apart from DBridge, who else are you collaborating with at the moment and in an ideal world whom would you like to work with?

We are collaborating with Skream and Loefah at the moment and have finished a collaboration with Consequence for his forthcoming album on Exit Records.
We also have yet to start a collaboration project with Nonplus artist ASC for his forthcoming album.

The Autonomic podcasts are gaining cult status at the moment – did you ever expect this to happen and how much preparation goes into making these? 

We did not anticipate this amount of interest in the podcast. We stated doing them because we were getting sent a lot of great music that was not in context to the rest of the dnb world and we felt that this great music could be in danger of being ignored because of the way the drum & bass scene works.
We are just happy to have opened people’s eyes and minds to what can be done with this music when you don’t follow other people’s formulas.

From an outside perspective, NonPlus seems to be more than just music, is there an ideology, purpose and overall vision for what you’re trying to achieve? 

Nonplus will be a record label that is strictly about all styles of music, basically it’s our baby and it’s all about us and what we like. Nothing else matters.
It will release all genres of music from artists like Skream and ASC, to Actress and Vaccine. The sky is the limit and there are no boundaries.
Good music is good music regardless of tempo and genre.

SHOGUN AUDIO @ LIGHTBOX


Having posted about the Shogun Audio crew, I thought everyone would like to know that they're taking over The Lightbox for the second time on 17th October with a BIG line up including 2 hours of madness from label boss Friction, as well as Noisia, Alix Perez, Randall and HyJack.

Attendance is compulsory. This one's gonna go off PROPER!

Facebook event here

FRESH KIDZ : SILKIE



Silkie, this top boy hailing from the Anti-Social Crew, couldn't be more appropriately named if he tried. It says a lot if you're music would not be out of place if it were played at a sunset party on the picturesque Ibiza rocks or in a dark smokey rave with.

"Silkie always provides a beautiful method of escape for what seems to be a wobble frenzied period in Dubstep at the moment."- This could not be more true at the minute because his music is a breathe of fresh air and this is the reason why it is his name on everybodys lips. The buzz his name creates is not unfounded, because his debut album : 'City Limits Volume 1' - released on the Godfather of Dubstep Mala's DEEP MEDi label speaks for itself. This album really brings the rough with the smooth and by that I mean his melodies are soulful, soothing and funky whereas his basslines are hard-hitting, pulsating and heavy.

Throughout the album there are essences of Jungle, Jazz, Garage and of course, straight up eyes down business. Standout tracks on the album have to be 'Beauty' with its ultra smooth melodies from the piano and saxophone, 'Purple Love' for its almost hypnotic quality and heavenly synths and last but by no means least, the slow neck breaker 'Head Butt Da Deck' which goes down well in any rave. The production on the album is outstanding and has been handled with a lot of care and dedication, and so it should, seeing as it is the "culmination of 8 years hard work."

All in all the album oozes quality and could be qualified as an instant classic. If you haven't already parted with your cash for this one then do so now!

RUNNING THE SCENE: SHOGUN AUDIO


When it comes to being fresh and different, no-one does it better than Friction's imprint Shogun Audio. The Brighton-based label has become one of the most respected in the scene at the moment and gained huge popularity, but without losing any of it's underground soul which made it what it is.
 
The label's dark, experimental sound is sick and this is what keeps Shogun at the very pinnacle of drum and bass. It appeals to all types of drum and bass heads. They've had huge success with releases from Spor, Alix Perez and the latest massive release from Friction and K-Tee (Set It Off/The Bleeps). Other artists in the Shogun family are Break, Icicle and Spectrasoul amongst others.

They've recently moved their London residency from The End (closed by moneygrabbing f***ing developers) to The Lightbox. They held their first Shogun event there in August and it was banging. The line up was huge and no-one failed to deliver (apart from the air-con man cos the club was literally on fire all night!). Also, the Shogun nights don't suffer from the curse of the scenester sluts knocking about the scene who are ruining most of London's big nights. This makes them even more inviting!

Shogun really is running things at the minute and expect big things from them in the future. Aliz Perez' debut LP "1984" is forthcoming as well as several other high profile releases so STAY LOCKED!

FRESH KIDZ: JOKER


Joker is kiiiillin it at the moment. Probably the most relevant and respected producer at the minute, everything he touches seems to turn to gold and he's going nowhere but up!

He already has two huge releases on Kapsize Records under his belt, including Psychadelic Runway and Purple City two absolute massive riddims which have been getting regularly play by original dubplate selectas Hatcha, Skream and N-Type. He also has remixed tracks for the likes of the Basement Jaxx, Adam Freeland, Example and Little Boots, and each time the result is sicker than the last. This dude just doesn't stop!

Soooo everyone out there will be verging on orgasm to hear he is now in the studio laying down tracks for his debut album which is going to be the most eagerly anticipated LP of the next few months. Stay locked for more info on a release date cos this one's gonna be messy!
