Dubstep Tonight – Taal Mala at Dropping Anchor (MTL)

June 13th, 2009 | Category: Misc

Well, the girls at APOCALYPTICA are at it again.
Should your support for the scene and come check it out.
Here is a little write up about the event.

—DROPPING ANCHOR —

APOCALYPTICA presents a night of the deepest dirtiest and wild and worldliest that the west coast dub community has to offer…

ft:

Taal Mala – Vancity

One of the West coasts most prominent Dubstep djs been “Killing sound since ‘97, Taal Mala is tearing up the dancefloors and doin’ it to ya in the earhole with warbling sub frequencies that have been known to merk an internal organ or two.
His music encompasses a mashup of dubstep, dancehall, ragga jungle, and techno with throbbing basslines, glitched out ragga vibes, turntablism, and complex riddim changes that will warp your perception of dancefloor music.
As a member of the SUB-OSC and Lighta! soundsystems, Taal Mala has buried an excess of tin pan soundboys alongside The Bug, Kode9, Loefah, Rusko, Benga, Skream, Hatcha, Youngsta, Martyn…etc. Keep your eyes open for more from Taal Mala on “lighta!” and “SUB-OSC” releases in 2009.”

Tarran the Tailor – Vancity

With a banjo in one hand and a beatbox in the other,
like a strange bluesman enticing a video game to dance,
Mister Tailor saunters a slow tango over the ocean Waves
Landing on the shore, with a rose between the teeth.

Fresh off a Salted tour of the west coast,
the Ship is in town to offer some of the new Album,
One part Dub, one part Stomp, one part death by an Ocean Wave…. … ..

Ancient Rugged Revival – Vancity
….

dusty stomp gypsy emotional clown church.

……

they are not a dj.
they are live theatre.

they are like a breath of fresh air, and a fist full of smoke.

A clank on the floor, and a whisper in your ear.

a fire in the palm of your hand, and a piece of ice down your shirt.

they have delighted audiences from here to there, and promise to do the same to you, and then spill your drink, cause you might just forget you got one, the breakneck action is just that intense.

the ancient rugged revival.
reviving audiences with the power of Crazy Love since
before any of us could remember otherwise.

I’m up to bat again this week, a few days late cause this mix required a few extra days to work out some trick mixes which would be impossible without my trusty trigger finger/serato combo.

Lots of face melters in this one and a soft chewy center featuring 2 huge tracks at the moment, Joker & Ginz – Re-up and Virus Syndicate – For the music. Extra spice provided by some Canadian homeboys: P-80’s new track “Exit Wound” & DZ’s zany “Circus Act”

Enjoy.

01- Raffertie – Antisocial
02- Cardopusher – Toothsmasher
03- Math Head – Terror Inc
04- Starkey – Dementia (Catch Starkey Live in Montreal – July 8th!!)
05- Koan Sound – Mafia
06- P-80 – Exit Wound
07- Raffertie – Eyes Closed
08- Virus Syndicate – For the Music
09- Joker & Ginz – Re-Up

RCola(Royal Crown/JungleXpeditions/Wikkid) lives in Montreal, Canada and plays a high-energy blend of jungle and dubwise vinyls alongside his own original dubplates. After discovering jungle music on late-night

FaceCrack event page

You know how we do. Its gonna be big big sound. Big Big BASS and even BIGGER ENERGY!!!
Live at BassDrive – Koi Bar. Be there.

other write up:
LUKE.ENVOY (90 mn set)

FWD / Tempa / Hotflush / Wonderland

South Londoner Luke Envoy’s reputation on the turntables has earned him residencies at dubstep institutions FWD and Hench alongside regular appearances on the equally heralded Rinse FM and at a variety of European destinations from Fabric in London to Athens, Amsterdam and San Francisco.
His productions include the devastating tech sounds of ‘Gamma’ and ‘Honour Kill’ with their overt hardcore and jungle references, through to tricky edit-laden explorations like ‘Trapdoor’, a collaboration with Bristol’s Headhunter and the esoteric global influences of the vocal tinged ‘So’, his recent debut for the inimitable Tempa Records.
With remixes and future collaborations with the likes of Headhunter and Jakes, and a debut artist album in the pipeline alongside worldwide touring, 2009 looks to cement Luke’s arrival.

w/ support from

LivingStone (Dig.iT.aL)
