GHENT 20/11/08 AFTER 12 & DEMOCRAZY: Mala, Pinch ...
Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2008 7:14 am
We have another big After 12 party to announce.
4th edition on the 20th of november, this time together with Democrazy at the Balzaal Vooruit.
Line up this time: Mala (Uk), Pinch (Uk) and the belgian dubstep souljahz Kastor & Dice and Gaz.
Mala -DMZ -Deep Medi- Uk.
Mala is a true pioneer of dubstep, pushing the sound of sub bass like no others.
As part of the Digital Mystikz collective, a production duo (consisting of Mala and Coki) from the South London suburb of Norwood,
they operate the DMZ record label along with Loefah and host the influential bimonthly nightclub DMZ, held at the Mass club complex in Brixton, London.
“You can’t put man in a room with no subwoofers,” DMZ’s Mala states simply.
“There’s nothing better for me than being in a dance with a solid soundsystem.
It’s music for your mind and for your body.” It’s this passion and purist attitude that drives DMZ’s success,
not only as artists, but as the brains behind the progressive record label and London’s largest and most infamous dubstep club night.
Drawing on a love of reggae, jungle, hip hop and deep house, DMZ’s tunes are cavernous explorations, melodic contemplations, strict dancefloor vibrations.
They are showcased by BBC Radio1 DJs and have featured in films like the sci-fi thriller Children of Men.
These are the riddims of the future, and Mala returns to our country to lay down the dubplate freshness.
Pinch -Tectonic- UK.
It is mainly due to DJ Pinch, that Bristol has established itself as the second centre of the British dubstep scene outside of London.
You could draw a line straight through: Wild Bunch, Massive Attack, Portishead, Roni Size and now Pinch.
He’s not only promoting the city’s first and most successful dubstep night “Subloaded”, but is also running a label called “Tectonic”,
which has already released artists like Moving Ninja, Skream, Loefah, Cyrus and 2562.
His own tunes create some major mayhem on dubstep floors and have subsequently been released on the renowned labels Planet Mu, Soul Jazz and his own Tectonic.
Pinch looks to offer something different from the mainstream when he DJs, always pushing his unique dance-floor sound.
His beats are more skippy and organic than most, more akin to the 2-step sound that dubstep draws influence from, while his own groundbreaking production work
often uses vocals to achieve an altogether more soulful, funky feel.
One thing’s for certain, if you’re heading out to see Pinch, expect to get your bass quota filled.
As the man himself always says, “if your chest ain’t rattlin’ it ain’t happenin’
Belgian dubstep souljahz this time are Kastor & Dice and Gaz.
