Guest LaundryBar Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 check out JUNGLE DRUMMER & DJ FU in action: JUNGLE DRUMMER & DJ FUThis is live drum and bass as you’ve never experienced before. Since their debut last summer the show has evolved to new heights of live performance, combining the best assets of both artists for a totally unique club experience. Scratch and drum battles up to 200bpm, live remixes, super fast cuts and drops, firing tune selection, precision drum timing, perfect mixing, and a massive bag of crowd teasing tricks ensure a great reaction from everyone, smashing dancefloors wherever they play. This show is definately not just another club set! Helping them take things to the next level is a lineup of MC's ready to step things up a notch. MC's onboard include the worlds number 1 MC Eksman, MC Ruthless, Stamina MC, top Hip Hop MCs like Skinnyman and Rodney P and amazing beatboxers and vocalists such as Killa Kela, Faith SFX and Deeizm. The MC provides an extra dimension to the show accentuating the focal points of the performance. The diversity of the show is attracting attention from all over the globe and its not just clubs getting in on the action, this year they’re playing festivals like Glastonbury, Global Gathering and Drummer Live at the Docklands XL Arena. With shows in Holland, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, France, Germany, Slovenia, Slovakia and an American tour in the pipeline, it seems their popularity can only grow. They’ve played alongside artists as diverse as Korn, Placebo, Apollo 440, Rahzel, DJ Craze, Q-Bert, DJ Hype, Goldie, Killa Kela, Rodney P and Skitz, Andy C, Dreadzone, Krafty Kuts, Pendulum, Mad Professor, MC Trip, Scratch Perverts, Rennie Pilgrim, Heartless Crew and Freq Nasty. Aside from festivals they have also been playing premier club nights and events such as Warning, Ape, Breakbeatnik, Tuesday Club, Bounce, Chibuku, Metropolis, Ministry of Sound and Random Concept. Going from strengh to strengh the duo constantly seek to improve their routines, reach wider audiences and test their own limits. This year has also seen a continuing increase in publicity for the show. After massive success with their amazing 65'000 hits on youtube, the hype around them on the internet grows daily. Yet to come this year they have a newly relaunched web presence including a Myspace featured artist status later this summer and a new Youtube video also to be launched later this summer to showcase their massive improvement over the last year and their new routines. They were recently featured on the Random Concept DVD recorded live in the Bristol Academy and in September they will feature on the cover CD of Knowledge Magazine with Eksman. Jungle and Fu are currently working on some tracks of their own ready to up the stakes again performing their own music live with a variety of live musicians and voclists. As their notoriety grows from smashing club after club, Jungle and Fu are set to be biggest live act of 2007. As we already said this definately isn’t your average drum and bass set!

Guest LaundryBar Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 BASSNECTAR “Innovative, unique stylish & infectiousâ€- SF Bay Guardian“Remix freak Lorin Ashton has perfected a uniqueblend of heavy breakbeat and sci-fi atmosphericsâ€- Future Music Magazine“A kaleidoscopically brilliant funkconception. Very highly recommendedâ€- All Music Guide"Tempo shifting bass nastiness and glitchy synthaction in full effect on this release. Huge!"- B-Side / URB MagazineFor the last decade, Lorin Ashton has helped develop the North American underground dance music scene. From touring full time as a DJ (an average of 125 shows per year), to his production & remixing under the alias Bassnectar, he has ammassed a dedicated fan base, crossing over from hip hop to electronica to breakbeat to ragga/dub to the jam band scene and the greater Burningman scene.In 2005, Lorin released the first full length Bassnectar CD, Mesmerizing The Ultra, a double album debut on Organic / Amorphous Music, available through Fontana distribution, a division of Universal Music and Video Distribution. Having remixed or collaborated with the likes of, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Buckethead, Michael Kang (The String Cheese Incident), FreQ Nasty, Saul Williams, Noam Chomsky, Cheb I Sabbah, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Crash Berlin, Landslide, Heavyweight Dub Champion & KRS One, and Perry Farrell, the Bassnectar sound has benefited from a wide lense of exposure, and evolved from cutting edge dance music to where it exists today: a mutant mash-up of multiple styles and genres.Imagine the heaving basslines of Drum ‘n’ Bass and Breakbeat (think Dieselboy, Freestylers, Tipper, Aphrodite), the massive beats of old school Hip Hop (think PublicEnemy, Beastie Boys, Run DMC), glitchy tones and sonic tricks of modern Electronica/IDM (think Prefuse 73, Plaid, Pest, Underworld, Aphex Twin) all mashed up with hip hop lyrics, cut-up dancehall/ragga vocals, samples of political speeches (from activists like Noam Chomsky, Mumia Abu Jamal, Michael Ruppert, Michael Franti, Martin Luther King, etc) and pumped through a variety of tempos. The new Bassnectar music is an exotic blend of both the listening experience and the dance experience.As a DJ he has achieved enormous success. Rated “Best Of The Bay 2005" by the SF Bay Guardian, and Number 1 in Nitevibe.com’s recent DJ Dreamteam contest, he is constantly booked 3-4 months in advance, on a regular tour schedule, playing to thousands of different people a month. From sold out festivals to overcrowded clubs and warehouses to tight and tiny bars and venues; his following continues to grow due to his unique charisma and a cutting-edge futuristic spin on electronic music.( www.bassnectar.net/photos )As a producer, his remixes and original tracks have been released on numerous CDs, compilations, and 12 inch releases, charted by the likes of Annie Nightengale (BBC Radio 1), James Zabiela, Ali B, Rennie Pilgrem, DJ Hyper, and Simply Jeff (BPM), with support from Adam Freeland, Karsh Kale, Freq Nasty, Uberzone, and Krafty Kuts. The tracks enjoyed international praise from such publications as BPM, XLR8R, Mixer, and Muziq, and have been licensed by MTV for multiple shows. With his latest release distributed by Universal, Bassnectar’s next full length CD entitled Metamorpho[p]sis is due out Septmeber 2006. His two self-released full length CDs have both gone into their third pressing, followed by the recent release of Tempo Rosso, a full length downtempo CD for Red Bull (13,000 copies were pressed and distributed). He has also appeared on releases from the following labels: OM, Virgin, 6 Degrees, Bless Records, Functional Breaks, Ceiba, Groundwork (Starbucks) and Kool Keith’s Sync Recordings.( www.bassnectar.net/store )With help from Red Bull and M-Audio, Lorin has founded and taught an ongoing series of free audio production workshops for youth on a national touring schedule. He blends his passion for music, politics, and people by creating music, performing at shows, and empowering others to do the same.( www.redbullmusiclabs.com ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LaundryBar Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 yea, bassnectar is definitely a very talented individual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LaundryBar Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 so, in addition to BassNectar doing his live thing (which is generally regarded as one of the best electronic live shows around) we have Jungle Drummer and dj Fu. If you all havent seen the video I posted of them on YouTube you really should! Jungle Drummer drums live to dj Fu while he djs and cuts and scratches. Its impressive how JD can go from hiphop tempo to Drum and Bass and still keep up with the BPMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Josh Wickham Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 My roomate drove down from Gainesville for the show and said the sound was kind of F'd up or something...How did the night go? I've spoon fed him house-music for a while so maybe he just wasn't ready for the loudness of DrumNBass? Whoknows! :)-Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest musicalmissionary Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 The night was fuckin awesome. Crowd spillin out the door all night. People jumping and screaming all over the place. Bassnectar is a total badass... he didn't play any drum-n-bass or if he did it was very little. He played a lot of broken beat, dubstep, hip hop, breaks, nasty fuckin shit. I left after jungle drummer/fu played for 15 minutes. It was just too loud at that point for that kinda music. They were obviously talented and fun to watch, but my friends' ears couldn't take it anymore.Oh, great fuckin night overall though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
