Once again RITUAL returns with some Dubstep for your ass! Every week has been more vibrant than the last. This week your hosts Nebakaneza and Johnny 5 will cause a power outage with special guests:
Sublo (Shift Recordings)
Here are some of Sublo's links:

About Sublo:
After playing bass for nearly a decade, Jerel Bromley aka Sublo began producing and mixing in 2005, influenced by the dub culture from London and Jamaica which has brought bass music to the global underground. Sublo has spent countless hours crafting a unique and heavy sound which chooses to emulate little and resonate large. With a first release on Shift recordings in 2009, and a solid debut EP on the streets in 2010, Sublo is taking his sound to the masses in an attempt to drown out all sound that does not go low.
Megalodon (Double Drop/Redline)

Fire Lieber (Mallabel)
About Fire Lieber:
Fire Lieber is an up and coming dubstep DJ hitting the San Francisco Bay Area scenes hard with her unique blend of styles that incorporate soulful melodies and dance-floor bangers. She has played on line-ups with heavy hitters such as Pinch, DZ, Djunya, 6Blocc, Stenchman, Propa Tingz, Antiserum, Roommate, Eprom, Ana Sia & many more. Fire Lieber is a member of Subwize (a Santa Cruz based dubstep crew) and now a member of MalLabel!
Starting out as a die hard dubstep fan, she started collecting vinyl. Now Fire Lieber can be seen behind the decks bringing fresh energy and enthusiasm that comes through in every set. With a little over a year of experience, this DJ is turning folk’s heads with awe and appreciation. Lookout for this bad girl-selectah at a sound system near you!
Proper will also be throwing down some choice beats so make sure you get there early. This night will be massive!!!

About Johnny 5:
Although you might not recognize the face behind the layers of wobbling bass, crunchy drums, and hypnotic melodies, it's safe to say that Johnny5 is no stranger to the spotlight. An Oakland, CA resident, by way of Chicago, Johnny cut his teeth as an MC and hip-hop producer in both cities, sharing stages with the likes of independent legends Typical Cats as well as major acts including Raekwon and Devin the Dude.
Upon moving to Oakland in 2005, Johnny5 began to take in the diverse, quickly evolving sounds pulsating throughout the Northern California music scene. Already having an extensive background in hip-hop, reggae, and electronic music, it was only natural that Johnny would embrace the dubstep genre and begin to cultivate his own sound, taking elements from each of these musical cultures. After a series of mixes that remained vastly unheard, the world began to take notice after his first official release, "Johnny 5 Alive."
Armed with his trusty APC 40, vast collection of rare and exclusive tracks, and uncanny ability to read a crowd's mood, Number 5 is ready to spread his unique blend of filthy bass music styles to dance floors and festivals around the West Coast and worldwide!
Here is where Nebakaneza is...

About Nebakaneza:
The masked DJ that brings those heavy wobbled out basslines to your cranium!!! The name comes from King Nebuchadnezzar II. He was an evil king that ruled over Babylon and killed hundreds of thousands. He attempted to kill Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in a fiery furnace, when they refused to worship him. He was humbled by the prophet Daniel who interpreted his dream that had a statue of a man with a golden head, a silver upper body, a bronze mid section, iron legs and clay feet. He rewarded Daniel with an offering of incense for the interpretation. After his dream was fulfilled he was exiled and spent 7 years in the wilderness wandering the land like a beast. There are many rumors about the mask, I'll let you decide what to believe.
We got new extended hours! Now from 9pm to 2am. Its always free and drinks are mad cheap. We want everyone to have a good time and hit the dancefloor like it stole something from you.
If you were wondering who did the fliers, its our bad ass homegirl Moody Eva. Check her out here...
