A seismic experience for dubstep fans everywhere as Dusk + Blackdown bring their acclaimed 2008 'Margin's Music' album to the live arena. Taking unseen London as its inspiration, the album moves around the capital's edges by night, reflecting the city as it comes alive with sound: raw slang, dialects, clanking trains, sub base waves and rebel radio frequencies. Mixing bass-heavy dubstep, grime and electronica with Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu voices the album creates a unique snapshot of London's cultural landscape, using sampled sounds and studio production alongside live vocals.
Intensively work-shopped at the Albany in Deptford, the live show will consist of Dusk + Blackdown controlling samples and sequences with Ableton, a specially created band featuring vocals from MC Durrty Goodz and singer Farrah, and musicians covering Indian percussion, and synths. Live versions of the album's standout tracks will flow with completely new tracks written for the live ensemble and; although this will be an at times intense listening experience; the set will build to club-ready music that's deep, dark and dancefloor friendly. The show will include a strong visual aspect, referencing old Bollywood films (the sources of Blackdown's samples), mixed with footage from contemporary London. Guest DJs from the Keysound roster will be in support.
Alongside Martin 'Blackdown' Clark and Dan 'Dusk' Frampton will be a specially created band featuring vocals from MC Durrty Goodz and singer Farah, with guest musicians and visuals. Plus DJs United Vibes (LHF Vibzin), Starkey, Grievous Angel, Scratcha DVA.
