you speak of tesh..
did a dubstep set at a tesh lock in this weekend..
half the kids had never even heard dubstep, let alone, Zomby-Liquid Dancehall, Taz Buckfaster-Quack,Babylon System- Examination of Time VIP,Goth Trad - The Clown.. hope i didnt lay it on too thick. I should have eased them in with some Martyn and Peverlist..
But shits in the works, glad to know we could draw from Chicago!

hmm... I wouldn't count on universal appeal... I have other interests at the heart of it...

So much of the Wisco crew has moved there in the last few that I have to make it up soon.
Been thinking about catching a freight and doing it hobo style in the warmer months... we'll see.

i've been playing it out just about every month for the past year or so at various venues around town.

i ran a weekly dubstep/techno night at Temple for about 8 months till it closed down earlier this year.

konkrete jungle has been having at least 1 dubstep dj every night for the past few months. it happens every other weds @ the vip room of First Avenue (next one is next weds 11/12).

I'm playing next friday (11/14) @ Ground Zero. I'm not sure of the set time (im on either 11 or 1230), but I do know I get an extended set so it should be a good time to say the least ; )

Lots of dnb guys have taken to it recently so there's at least a handful of djs playing it here. Look for Hack, Nick Merchant, KJ, Kani, and myself Defecks. We all play out pretty regularly now for the most part.

check www.mnvibe.com/forum for events going on around town. check the dubstep thread in the music disscusion forum we've been at it for about 2 years now! it's a looooong thread, but everybody's posted up good stuff.

also hit me up on myspace www.myspace.com/mplsdubstep ill make sure to keep you up date with any events too!

good to know there's another head in town!

hope the good people of the Twin Cities build upon the foundation and hard work of the earliest crew to hit MN with the early dubstep and ukg sounds:
The Steppers Alliance which included Easyrider, Natosha, MC Hyde and more back in the year 2000.
I am forgetting at least 2 members of Steppers Alliance whose names escape me at the moment unfortunately...

big up the Twin Cities always

The other two names would be Aaron Bliss ans Signore Veloce. Both of which now are pretty involved in the house and techno scene here in minneapolis.

Also. Hai guise! Not only is hack here now, i've arrived. double the reason to lock up the women and children.

dubstep and knife fights at the loft friday.

No worries there man.

There was a gap of a couple years here and I think most people don't realize / weren't there / know that those guys were doing it before most stateside. it's kinda a shame that paul went back to dnb imo and nikki doesn't really get to play out anymore. i booked her when i was still doing a night and i think it was one of two times she's played out this year. which really sucks because she's a sick dj. i think if they played out more people would see the ukg / dubstep connection that, i think, honestly a majority of the people don't even know about. especially since all of the dubstep djs in town were once dnb djs...i think nat0sha is really the only one thats come full circle from garage.
