9/18 – Skream / Murderbot / Chris Widman @ Smartbar

Webmaster — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:23:01 +0000

Sept 18th, 2009 Smart Bar, Red Bull Music Academy, Abstract Science & Dubfix welcomes the first-ever Chicago appearance of… Skream – Croydon, UK Meet Skream: Croydon’s musical wonderkid. At 15 he discovered making music.

Five years later he’s changed the course of UK urban music, having helped build the foundations of London’s most exciting new musical style, dubstep. But he’s barely started yet: because right now, Skream is an artist on fire. Read More… Meet Skream: Croydon’s musical wonderkid.

At 15 he discovered making music. Five years later he’s changed the course of UK urban music, having helped build the foundations of London’s most exciting new musical style, dubstep. But he’s barely started yet: because right now, Skream is an artist on fire. Skream’s story begins in Croydon, in secondary school year 11.

He wasn’t getting on with teachers and they weren’t getting on with him: but he was getting on with his music. But two friendships cemented then would start him onto the path to musical success. First he met Benga, another talented Croydon kid who was starting to make music. Then he met Hatcha, soon to be one of the most influential and pioneering DJs in urban music.

Around 2000 Benga and Skream set about building on the early dark garage flavours that were to be found on the pirate airwaves around Croydon. Through Hatcha’s sets at club Forward» and releases on the seminal Big Apple label, they were about to create a new phase of dubstep. At first Skream specialised in one flavour of dubstep: dark. His clipped, techy minimal style became a trademark sound. Long before grime existed, it reflected dark murky streets and sinister nights, the sound of decaying London and its frustrated communities, stuck out in satellite towns and sink estates with nothing but a PC and freely available software to channel their frustration into.

Stuck in front of a PC for days on end, that’s exactly what Skream did. Then two years ago Digital Mystikz burst onto the dubstep scene, expanding the sound with new flavours and vivid colours. Skream became even more inspired. It not like he wasn’t prolific already – rumour has it he’s made over 1500 tracks – but out poured a host of bright new tracks from the wonderkid. “Indian remix” took him into trippy Asian territories, “Cheeky…” into Arabia, his unreleased mixes of Sunship fused Jamaican dancehall smut with hooky Kraftwerk melodies. “Smiling Face” broke out cheerful reggae skanks on dancefloors. But his biggest tune was yet to come. Enter “Midnight Request Line” – on Tempa records – an anthemic explosion of electro arpeggios and dub sub-bass. It’s a tune you can sing along to: Skream has it as his own ringtone. When it got dropped by DJ Youngsta at club Forward» grime dons Wiley, Jammer and the rest of Roll Deep began to shock out, flashing their lighters out of hard earned respect. The flip of this mighty release is bassline boomer “I,” an excursion into deep dub basslines and shifting cinematic textures. It shouldn’t come as any surprise he likes sub-bass, Skream has grown up around it.

His older brother was a member of Croydon’s notorious jungle hell-raising raving outfit Intanatty Crew, which featured Radio 1’s Grooverider and Bailey’s 1Xtra as members. Ollie, Skream’s real name, is no stranger to a bit of hell raising himself, famous for his up-for-it behaviour at parties or out on the town. In fact he’s the only known music artist with a subdued alter-ego. Most rock stars are quiet by day with flamboyant alter-egos. Our wonderkid is the other way around. But then that’s wonderkids like Skream for you: unique. Local Support From: MURDERBOT Chrissy Murderbot is a Chicago-based DJ/Producer in love with juke-rave-jungle-disco-dubstep-hi-NRG-dancehall-ghetto-core.

He has released over 25 records on labels like WIDE, Mashit, Clash, Seclusiasis, and his own Sleazetone & Dead Homies imprints. He’s played in over 15 countries, and done remix work for Starkey, Ssion, Pirate Soundsystem, Crunc Tesla, DJ C & MC Zulu, Professor Murder, Monkey Steak, James Braun, Jacky Murda, Miles Bonny, and Ward 21. CHRIS WIDMAN Chris Widman is a DJ that defies easy classification. Host of the weekly radio program Abstract Science since it’s inception in 1997 and a DJ since 1995, his cohesive sets intertwine records from across the electronic music spectrum and beyond.

Over the years, Widman has set the stage for a diverse cast of underground luminaries–Amon Tobin, Apparat, Benga, Booka Shade, Cinematic Orchestra, Daedelus, Deadbeat, Dosh, Edit of the Glitch Mob, The Field, Jaga Jazzist, John Tejada, Kode9, Lady Sovereign, M83, M.Doughty (of Soul Coughing), Matthew Dear, Meat Beat Manifesto, Modeselektor, Monolake, Mr. Scruff, Nightmares on Wax, Plaid, The Orb, Scanner, Sleeparchive, Telefon Tel Aviv, Ulrich Schnauss and Unkle–and performed at Resfest, the Chicago World Music Festival, Chicago’s Museum of Contempory Art, Chicago Cultural Center, the Rhinocererous Theatre Festival, LA’s dublab.com, Germany’s Club Bogaloo, and many of Chicago’s choice venues (including Metro, Empty Bottle, Abbey Pub with residencies at Smartbar and Sonotheque). Widman also records and performs live with Colin Harris as Quadratic. Lately, he’s been mixing up every record near 140 bpm and telling the kids it’s dubstep.

9/10 – Mary Anne Hobbes / Zulu / Searchl1te @ Smartbar

Webmaster — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 08:37:00 +0000

Abstract Science, Dubfix and Dubstep.fm Present: Smartbar – Big Bass Thursdays featuring: Mary Anne Hobbes – BBC Radio 1 “The undisputed First Lady of Bass… and one of its most influential selectors.”- XLR8R “Mary Anne Hobbs probes the more arcane corners of new electronic music…to suit every beat explorer.”- Time Out London Bio- Mary Anne Hobbs’ ‘Dubstep Warz’ show for BBC Radio1 in January 2006 is widely regarded at the show that broke the dubstep sound globally.. She followed this in August 2008 with the ‘Generation Bass’ special curated at her invitation by the original Dubstep Warz DJs.. Her mission in January 2009 to LA and San Francisco generated the ‘West Coast Rock’ special which set the world buzzing about the fast emerging Pacific Coast beat scene. She is set to release a 3rd compilation album ‘Wild Angels’ in September 2009 on the Planet Mu label.. following ‘Evangeline’ in June 2008 and her notorious debut for the label ‘Warrior Dubz’ in October 2006… Mary Anne curates her 3rd stage at Sonar Festival in June 2009 bringing with her Martyn, The Gaslamp Killer and Joker.. This follows her historic UK Dubstep Showcase in 2007, taking the sound out of small humid clubs and onto an international festival stage for the first time in front of 8 thousand people with Skream, Oris Jay and Kode 9 & The Spaceape.. Her 2nd stage in 2008 featured Mala, Flying Lotus and Shackleton, and compounded her success in Barcelona. Mary Anne left school at the age of 16 and went to work in an egg packing factory for the princely sum of 39gbp per week. She quickly ran away to London with a hard rock band and lived on a bus with them in a car park in Hayes, Middlesex for 12 months, working as their lighting engineer, record sleeve artist, wardrobe designer and mechanic. Her great ambition was to become a music journalist. She figured the next logical step would be to produce her own fanzine – Krush… She sent a couple of issues along with a demented CV detailing her adventures to the Editor of Sounds music paper and landed a job with them at the age of 19. At 21, having been profoundly influenced by a snapshot of Metallica, Mary Anne sold all her worldly goods and bought a ticket to Hollywood, where she lived in a garden shed… She spent a year in the dark underbelly of LA writing about the fledgling thrash metal scene, Jane’s Addiction, Guns N’ Roses et al… for UK music paper Sounds.. At Sounds Mary Anne met fellow teenager James Brown (legendary writer and publisher, not the Godfather of soul) who became a lifelong friend… James moved to NME as Features Editor and when Mary Anne returned to London from LA, he promptly poached her to work with him at NME. Mary Anne spent three years on the news desk and also worked as a major feature writer there, writing cover stories on everyone from Ice Cube to Nirvana… She went on with James Brown to form part of the original team he put together to launch Loaded magazine. She worked there as Music Editor. Mary Anne got her break in radio at the BBC’s local station in London GLR. And she presented groundbreaking shows on XFM (the UK’s first ever alternative station) during their trail broadcasts, which helped to win their licence… She was poached by Radio 1 in 1997 after a particularly confrontational interview with Radio 1′s then Head Of Production (Trevor Dann) was bootlegged around the BBC and found the desk of the Controller of the day, Matthew Bannister… Mary Anne’s time at Radio 1 has been hectic. She has hosted shows from all the major UK awards ceremonies: Q, NME, Brits, Kerrang, Mercury Music Prize and made documentaries about artists as diverse as David Bowie, Slipknot and The Sex Pistols She championed comedy god Ricky Gervais in his pre-Office days, hosted a movie review show called Cling Film, founded and fronted the award-winning Radio 1 Rock Show for five years… TV… there’s quite a lot, M.A. hosted a season of live coverage of the ‘World Superbike Championship’ for British Eurosport in 2005 she made a series about global biker culture in India, Russia, Japan, the US and Europe for BBC Choice, ‘Mary Anne’s Bikes’ fronted 27 hours of live coverage at Glastonbury Festival for the BBC and has guested on everything from BBC2′s ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ to ‘John Peel’s Record Box’ for Channel4…. Mary Anne can ride any motorcycle you care to park in front of her…
