bobbyjae Posted November 2 Report Share Posted November 2 Wednesday | November.17.2004M3 and Upfront Industries present:Rinse Magazine, District Soul and DCDNB sponsored eventGRIDLOK [ Violence | Virus | Project 51 ] - SFAs one of America’s hardest working producers and DJs, Gridlok has charted a steady, methodical path into the vanguard of drum and bass. His tracks enjoy the support of drum and bass’ finest, from Andy C to Bailey. His work ethic and tireless efforts to advance the sonic breadth of the music have yielded tremendous dividends for drum and bass fans worldwide. Recent tracks such as “Heatwave†on Violence have become staples of countless major league DJs worldwide, and they are huge crowd favorites. His aesthetic firmly cemented to the dance floor, Gridlok has been successful at carving out a sound that manages to incorporate fragmentary echoes of his musical interests outside of drum and bass while maintaining the hard, shining surface of drum and bass at its most technologically advanced edge. With a series of forthcoming releases lined up for Violence, Virus, and other labels, and no slowing down in his DJ schedule, look for Gridlok to continue his ascendance into the highest echelons of drum and bass in 2004.SILVER of ACCIDENTAL HEROES [ Virus | Metalheadz | Nemesis ] - UK *DC/BALT DEBUT*Sonic & Silver formed early in 1999 to provide an umbrella name for the collaborative production work of Accidental Heroes. Their style is heavy but with a musical soul. It is a mixture of heavy funk breaks, fat bubbling dub wise bass and cinematic atmospherics creating tracks that strike the right chord every time. Silver is currently working alongside BBC1xtra, V records, Emotif, Timeless, LPlates, Random Records (Australia) and has recently been working alongside Hive & Gridlock in San Francisco. The forthcoming projects are intended to be an outlet for only Sonic & Silvers finest pieces, and will hopefully set a new standard for their work. The concept is simply of diversity, and their own work will feature very different styles, encompassing their heavier side as well as their more musical, melodic one. Their tracks have never been stronger, or more abundant. If they continue with their rich vein of form, it will no longer be possible that chance provided their tag. It's a good time to be a Hero!BOBBY JAE [ District Soul | DCDNB | Upfront ] - DCMastering the sultry, sexy sounds of DC drum and bass, Bobby Jae never fails with his impeccable mixing and top-notch selection.
