And you don’t stop! Dank Morass and White Rhino are stoked to present Bristol young gun, Joker, at Barsoma on Saturday 6 December. Known for his electrifying lead synth lines and subterranean bottom end, Joker was hand-picked by Hyperdub don Kode 9 as his successor for Mary-Ann Hobbs’ Generation Bass sessions – check out the video of his set from MAH’s YouTube channel:
Joker’s wax releases have been some of the most sought after in dubstep, from the mind-bending Gully Brook Lane through to his recent collaboration with Rustie, “Play Doe”, which sold out within moments of becoming available. He’s been given props by everyone from Pinch to N-Type, and his self-described ‘jheri-curl boogie’ fuses the propulsive energy of grime, ecstatically sleazy synths and serious bass pressure.
Support from Frosty (Hard Graft), Walrii, Swob, Arku, Lone Pariah and Danck. $10 on the door from 9pm, with dank visuals for your optical delectation.
Following on from a hectic four days on the road with Hermitude and Horrorshow (big ups to Gusto, Dubs, Solo and Adit) and a manic audience with Hudmo at Barsoma, Morass celebrates one year of dropping dank beats in public with a night of bass and beats upstairs at the Step Inn, featuring the Morass in a b2b extravangaza, special guests Strife, Insidious and Audio Opticon of Adelaide’s Shadowplay massive and the man arguably responsible for unleashing us on the world with his weekly open decks nights back in 07, Operon.
We’re already working on some big things for 2009. Hold tight!
