Beat Chamber

Okay peeps.

First off, i hope all is moving forward swimmingly in your respective worlds.

Secondly, for those who are late to class, time for a catch up on the one and only…

Below you will find several links to music and videos related to the mastermind that is RAS_G and the AFRIKAN SPACE PROGRAM.

I could write several pages about the ancient echos of Afro-Futurism and Jamaican Sound System Culture in Ras’s bass beats and their integral influence on the Los Angeles/Global Art/Beats community. However, if you are unfamiliar with this man and his works, have an explore, and see (hear) for yourself.

It’s getting close to crunch time and if you ain’t done your homework, look sharp! The exam is 9pm Friday 23rd July @ Step Inn. Exam notes…

sonar (danck tour journal pt 3)

July 6th, 2010

Barcelona’s annual Sonar Festival attracts the cuttingest-edge and the best-selling in modern electronic music from around the world. Invading the city’s contemporary art complex, CCCB/MACBA during the afternoon and a sprawling convention centre-type complex after dark, it’s impossible to see everything on the daunting line-up, especially while making the most of the Catalan culture (mainly siestas and tapas) at the same time. But having come from the opposite side of the world, I was damn well going to do my best. (more…)

Dank Side wash up

June 29th, 2010

Dank side last Friday was a pre-curser to the full moon and partial lunar eclipse on Saturday night 26/06. It was almost too perfect and most certainly, this cosmic coincident contributed to what was a great success of a night.

Just want to take this chance to thank everybody for coming out to Dank Side of the Moon and making it something special. It is so good to know that this town can come out to support some genuine local talent without the presence of an international artist, in such abundance.

The music was sick all night long and the dancefloor was pumping. Just goes to show that Brisbane can haul its own weight with cutting edge, world-class electronic music. Big up for leading the renaissance of something real and true to what people really want from a night out. Soulful vibes and beats to get your groove on!

Shouts to Vivandiere and Mongo for warming the night up so well with some unique hiphop, 2step, house and soul vibes. Delstar killed it with some heavy dubstep/halfstep flavours.

Walrii made an eclectic selection to please (almost) every bodies angles. Science Project (remember to cop their EP if you liked) rinsed the D-Floor with hard hitting tribal grooves and live percussion and effects and Herts brought a perfect close to the night with deep deep club hip-hop vibes.

Of course Archi Lancaster and ATLASt, provided the perfect visual accompaniment to what was some soul-rattling bass.

See you at the next party … Watch this space.

Much love to you all!
