LOGISTICS
(Hospital Records | Londra, UK)
Vineri, 16 aprilie 2010
Arenele Romane (Parcul Carol, strada Cutitul de Argint, nr. 26)
Pe 16 aprilie, la Arenele Romane, va avea loc cea de-a doua petrecere de anul acesta marca Arena DNB. Evenimentul va fi gazduit de LOGISTICS, aflat in premiera in Romania si, in acelasi timp, primul artist de la Hospital Records prezent in Bucuresti.
Alaturi de Logistics vor mixa romanii RANCHA, LICH si SUNDANCER. De visuals se vor ocupa AVluv si VEDEM.
Logistics a atras aten?ia in 2004 cu piesa Replay pe care marile nume din scen? (Andy C, Fabio, Grooverider, etc.) au preluat-o aproape imediat în seturile lor. De aici ?i pân? la a semna cu Hospital Records a fost un singur pas, iar in 2006 lanseaza primul album din cariera.
Muzica lui este o combina?ie de liquid funk ?i jungle, devenind astfel un inovator în a lega cele 2 direc?ii în care mergea scena de muzic? de dans. Prin piesele compuse el, artistul a contribuit la crearea sunetului actual din drum and bass, in momentul de fata fiind considerat drept unul din numele care fac istorie în aceast? lume.
Pana in prezent a lansat 3 albume, Now more than ever (2006), Reality Checkpoint (2008) ?i Crash Bang Wallop! (2009) , pentru care a castigat premii precum 1Xtra Best Album. A reusit in doar cativa ani sa isi construiasca propriul stil in miscarea drum and bass, ajungand sa fie foarte apreciat de o armata de fani din intreaga lume si in acelasi timp respectat in randul muzicienilor din scena.

BOK BOK – Guest Mix for REDLIGHT – 1Xtra 2010
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010BBQ Mix 02 by xxxy
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010There’s a place in bass electronica, where the percussive house meets spacious dubtech and dense funky. We’re not sure how this place is called but xxxy happens to be quite at it. His futuristic number ‘Just for me’, canny ‘Reflections’ or the cherry on top of Fabric’s last compilation that ‘Sing With Us’ is – it’s really a whole different level.
BBQ mix mirrors the variety of his own styles, but most of all, it unveils his exceptional ability to merge them all in the most enjoyable way. Mixing the likes of Julio Bashmore, Addison Groove or Poland’s own Sekta, xxxy tops his selection with 2 unpublished gems by the man himself – the opening and closing tracks are both BBQ Exclusives.
We’re proud to present second installment in our mix series, enjoy!

Monday, March 29th, 2010FACT mix 135: Elijah & Skilliam
Sunday, March 28th, 2010FACT mix 135: Elijah & Skilliam
One of the most inspirational DJing partnerships in the UK, Elijah made a name for himself as the author of the humble Butterz blog, and one of the people behind Grime Forum, an active part of the grime scene which filled a hole left by Rinse FM and RWD’s declining forums and has since become the key hub for grime news and online controversy. More importantly, it spanned sister sites like Grimepedia, an online information source for a genre long associated with misinformation.
They’ve also done more than almost any grime DJs to date to turn the focus of an MC-dominated genre back to behind the decks. Speaking to Pitchfork recently, Elijah explains that he “loves the MCs”, but “[focuses] on the instrumental side because most MCs still don’t do vocal great productions. I’m not into the hype, because it is a distraction from the music.” Three years ago, Rinse FM’s most hyped shows were the ones with the most MCs – now it’s mostly instrumental marathons with Elijah, Skilliam and their peers JJ, Silencer and more.
What’s key with Elijah and Skilliam’s sets is the sheer amount of digging for new material they do, and their constant willingness to play tunes from new, often relatively unknown grime producers over more fashionable artists. While many grime DJs rely on old classics and modern anthems from the likes of Joker for a reaction, Elijah and Skilliam focus on new producers that they believe in, and a significant part of the recent rise in profile of SRC, Swindle, Royal T, D.O.K. and more can be attributed to them. This year, their Butterz label (Butterz 001, Terror Danjah’s ‘Bipolar‘ is out now) looks set to make that commitment physical.
“”I know there are loads of people in their bedrooms making grime for the love, and are not sure what to do with it because they don’t know any MCs.” Elijah explains in that aforementioned Pitchfork interview. “The DJs haven’t really made themselves easy to get in contact with, nor do they actively seek out and play the new ones they find. Some weeks I listen to nearly 100 new beats people sent [to me].”
It should come as no surprise then, that Elijah and Skilliam’s FACT mix is packed – packed – with exclusives. There’s unreleased and forthcoming material from SRC, Skepta, Joker, Terror Danjah (in fact, there’s a collaboration between the two titled ‘Gully Goon Estate’), Royal T, Starkey.
