Birthday Greetings and Bass Beatings
Technicality Allnighter
Big shouts to the Inperspective crew who pulled off another wicked Allnighter on Saturday. Walking into a packed basement bash fuelled by a fat sound system on my birthday is my idea of heaven. Unfortunately, I was slightly worse for wear so couldn't appreciate the full beauty of stomach churning bass but had a wicked night nonetheless. Highlights of the evening included Breakage's set which was his usual high standard selection- with tune of the moment, 'Prophecy' and the 'Acid Rain' V.I.P causing a riot. Other highlights included bumping into Paradox on the bus (not something that happens everyday) and meeting some of the intanatty crew who'd flown over for the event including Amsterdam's Quest One who treated me to a fine back roll and San Fran's Tone. Big up to Orson who made it to Stokey from Germany (via Forward>> and DMZ) and who I keep bumping into on the streets of London. Check Subvert Central for all the gossip on the next night, plus an insight into the next one in July.
Bassbin Rare Groove's LP
Keeping on the Drumz tip, Bassbin's first l.p 'Rare Groove's' is out now and features a selection of tunes by today's freshest and most soulful Drumz producers, namely: Skitty, Alias (Breakage & Flight), Calibre, Paradox, Equinox, Digital, Breakage and Seba & Lenk. These guys really are the saviours of Drum n Bass which has of late been slowly morphing into an ugly mish mash of clownstep and gabba-esque tempo's (and let's face it, anything gabba-esque should be killed). The album launch party headlined by "Bailey Bailey Bailey", is tommorrow at Plastic People and with Equinox, Breakage and Flight also on the line-up, is set to be one of DnB's finest moments of '05. Rare Grooves is available at all good record stores including Soho's Blackmarket and of course, Croydon's Nu Wax City, where you also get to have a nice chat with Skopey boy who kindly bought me the album for me birthday (but hasn't given it to me yet).
Loefah and Skreamz Shizzle Brizzle
Check the Gutterbreakz blog for a very informative and amusing piece about Skream and Loefah's recent trip to Bristol. His description's of the pair particularly tickled me, "In person Loefah cuts an imposing figure and looks like a bit of a thug.." and "By contrast Skream was all nervous energy, doing mad rewinds at every opportunity, bouncing around and occasionally knocking the needle off the record by accident.." sounds about right to me. Speaking of Skreamz, don't forget that his E.P is out right now on the newly born Ital label and features two typically storming Skreamz tracks: Angry and Traitor.
