Last weekend I went to Geneva for the Electron festival where I saw some amazing sets from Marcus Nasty, Deadboy, Girl Unit, Chrissy Murderbot and more. Here’s a short video I took at the Planet Mu Footwork stage, with DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn on mixing duties accompanied by live footwork dancers, reppin’ the Chi- town scene.
A line up this big, for free, doesn’t come along too often, so you’d be bat shit stupid to miss it. The launch party for Mr Danjah’s new Hyperdub released album ‘Undeniable’ kicks off 10pm at The East Village, Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch tomorrow, that’s Wednesday the 10th of November. Did I mention how big the line-up is? See you there. Bring your best bass face.
Big Up Podcast 33 – Duffstep by Duffstep
Shortly after posting one of Duffstep’s latest tracks it came to light that he also has a very solid mix doing the rounds in the shape of a podcast for San Francisco’s Big Up magazine. Featuring tracks from the likes of Lone, Pariah, Falty DL and many more Duffstep’s mix more than adequately shines a light on the steppy tech future sounds of now. Particularly tickling me sweet is the inclusion of ‘Pineapple Crush’ by Lone. Solidly referencing the first era of rave with it’s acid splashes and hip-house tinges ‘Pineapple Crush’ sits in this mix like it’s zesty name suggests it might – up front and attention seeking.
Definitely liking where this guy is heading with his sounds. Check this out, “Can’t give you love” is his latest Soundcloud offering and to date remains unsigned (not for long I imagine). With a slightly tougher edge than some of his more mellow peers on the techno-edged evolutionary path of Dubstep, you can almost feel the main room sweat dripping off this one. Close your eyes and pump it up. Trust me. This one’s got more Jack than the White Stripes.
Oh Gosh! Not much else to say about the antics of this particular Notting Hill Carnival reveler, other than that she’s been slackly studying the art of the Dancehall Queen. Fortunately my eyes were saved from any such sights at this years Carnival. At this point I would normally say enjoy, but I don’t quite feel it to be appropriate for this one. No offense if this is your cup of tea though 
YO!
