RSD (Rob Smith, Smith and Mighty UK)

RSD, perhaps better known as Bristol bass and drum music stalwart Rob Smith (one half of respected production duo Smith and Mighty), has been pushing bass heavy rhythms for more than two decades.

Under the moniker RSD, Rob Smith produces fresh, innovative bass music that simultaneously pays dues to his deep soundsystem roots while pushing things ever forward. He remains firmly at the forefront of Bristol's endlessly inventive music scene.

Rob Smith has found a new home in 2009, as RSD, comfortably adapting to the rolling, sub-heavy rhythms of dubstep. With releases on respected labels including Punch Drunk, Earwax and Tectonic, RSD's sound is typified by impossibly heavy soundsystem-testing sub-lines and junglist dub breaks. The irresistible energy of tunes such as 2007's infectious breaky roller "Pretty Bright Lights", 2008's bubbling summer-vibed "Speakerbox" and the speaker destroying dread-fuelled stepper "Jahway" has rapidly cemented them as anthems.

An experienced, effortless and exhilirating DJ and selector, RSD's New Zealand shows are not to be missed.

Strictly138 is pleased to also welcome the mighty OoGuN back to Wellington...

OoGun (Drunk Elephant Sound, Dubstep Alliance AK)

OoGuN relocated from London late in 2006 and has fast become one of NZ’s top dubstep DJ/Producers, as anyone who has witnessed his live DJ sets will attest. Packing fresh dubplates from 6Blocc, DZ, Babylon System, RSD, Clouds, Mungo's Hi Fi, Roommate, Antiserum and others as well as exclusive OoGuN productions, remixes and the freshest NZ dubs - OoGuN will celebrating the imminent launch of his Drunk Elephant Sound Aotearoa record label. Prepare to be trampled!

Drunk Elephant Sound is a 100% Aotearoa owned and operated dubstep label.

Drunk Elephant was set up by Auckland based producer and DJ OoGuN, initially as a home for his dubstep productions. However, as dubstep grows in NZ, with increasing numbers of homegrown producers picking up the sound, Drunk Elephant’s mission is to find and encourage NZ dubstep producers by releasing their tunes. OoGuN’s weekly radio show (the Drunk Elephant Soundsystem Base Fm 107.3 Sundays 8-10pm) has been instrumental in gathering and broadcasting locally made dubstep music from producers such as PVans, Dutty Ranks, LQue and JRed, FrostyBoy, Joint Forces and of course OoGuN’s own productions. In the first phase, Drunk Elephant functioned purely as an online, digital label. However in 2009, the label is being launched as a full entity with planned vinyl releases.

Bit of an RSD interview: http://www.niceup.org.nz/news/interview-with-rsd

Big up Nice Up crew for this one.

Sausage wobble...??

yeah bro gotta say though, don't agree at all with some of the judgements made in that interview. It's that whole are you just gonna play dubstep? sorta deal knowing damn well how diverse the sounds within Dubstep and the DJ's playing are.

hmm.

other than that the majority of wellington Dubstep nights have been quite balanced girl to guy ratio as well based on simply how many people come out to gigs in general. Likewise all the chch and auck gigs I have attended to have been pretty balanced.

so yeah that "sausage wobble" is a bit of a whiplash statement in my view.

anyhoo. RSD will be sick! can;t wait!

I'd hope they meant sausage as in Bangers and Mash.

Or those nice toad-in-the-hole things.

More trunks than sausages really and that's the way it should be

Yeah some sly digs in there... but we'll let the music speak for itself eh!

Can't wait >>> !
