Slang

Thanks to Portugal's Slang Magazine who kindly gave me 8 pages of their first issue to splash with captioned photos of my time documenting the dubstep scene thus far. They asked me for an introduction to the scene, so I gave them a personal insight, looking specifically at Forward, DMZ, Skull Disco, Subloaded, Rinse FM & The Breezeblock and many of the artists, events and photos that are particularly special to me. Not to say that if you're not in there, you're not special. Plans for a bigger, more definitive collection of photos from my 2 year drumzofthesouth journey are on the way so watch this space. Much love to the two Nuno's- Slang editor Nuno Carvalho and dubstep souljah Conspira for their genuine support and interest in the scene and it's history- 8 pages about dubstep in a first issue of a printed publication would be considered a risk for many a UK publisher, so huge big up's to them for believing.

Slang Magazine is only available in Portugal but you should be able to grasp a good idea of their style and fantastic design from their website www.slangculture.com. In the meantime, if you really want to read the feature, email me and I'd be happy to send you the pdf.


Finally, check the latest Pitchfork 'The Month in Grime/Dubstep' for the hat wearing bad boy Blackdown's definitive guide to all that's happening (including an exclusive insight into his 'Roots of Dubstep' project) alongside a photo from what is already another legendary Forward>>.

Excluding the wicked parties and wonderful people I've met, the past couple of months have felt like a perpetual whirlpool of photo editing and illness (Flu again). I need a holiday, I need an assistant but as I can afford neither, I'm settling for a few days of easter egg indulgence with the fam.' (Happy birthday 'Mard'). Have a good rest y'all. See you when the skies are warmer.

Shouts to Bristol for being recognised in the latest issue of iDJ as a key UK city for Dubstep and Grime, despite it's well known DnB reputation. Suffice to say, it is still a wicked place for decent Drum n Bass but in my opinion, I doubt there are few raves in the West country that could test Subloaded.

The Joe Show (DJ extraordinaire)

...3rd Base, the scene of 6 of the best parties of my life, a huge amount of emotion and a poignant journey for I and all involved from the beginning. (I’m getting teary!) DMZ have recently announced that as of May, DMZ is officially moving to Mass but not to the main room which had us straining our necks to see the DJ's high up in the columns but to the middle room with it's nice 16k sound-system. The hope is that it will prove a nice compromise between the cosy space of 3rd base and the overwhelmingly colossal heights of the main room and most importantly, will maintain the interaction between DJ's and dancefloor that DMZ's dances are notorious for.
