SLUGABED in vancouver
Join us Friday, November 2 for Ninja Tune recording artist Slugabed. With Michael Red, Max Ulis and ScottyDJ.
Blending influences both classic and contemporary, from the outermost reaches of dubstep, hip hop and beyond, Slugabed has received unanimous praise for his first Ninja Tune releases since signing to the label last year, and there is much anticipation for his forthcoming debut album.
Under his Slugabed alias, 23 year-old Greg Feldwick creates music which is at once complex, deep, thoughtful and above all distinctive. It channels the energy of the best of todays bass music, through spacey bleeps and meditative melodies to explore the outermost reaches of electronic music making today.
Originally hailing from Bath, UK, Feldwick relocated to Brighton in 2008, where he played an instrumental role in the success of local club night Donky Pitch for which he still holds a residency. The first rumblings of appreciation from his peers came at this time, from Slugabed’s initial pool of 12-inches. Releases for the Ramp Recordings and Stuff Records labels were the first introduction for many to his work, with both records demonstrating his ability to combine intelligent and original production skills with undeniable dance floor appeal. Strong club and radio support followed from a wide range of respected DJs including Mary Anne Hobbs, Mark Pritchard, Benji B, Laurent Garnier and Surgeon as well as Tom Ravenscroft and Huw Stevens on BBC Radio 1. With an already impressive catalogue of official remixes for the likes of Starkey, Eprom and Kelpe under his belt, he also created his own unofficial version of Pharoah Monch’s classic ‘Simon Says’ whic h devastated dancefloors worldwide. However, it was his ‘Ultra Heat Treated’ EP, released in 2009 on the prestigious Planet Mu label, that propelled Slugabed furthest into the spotlight, winning him new support and glowing reviews across the board, as well as interest from some of the best cutting-edge record labels around.
with Michael Red and Max Ulis. And Introducing ScottyDJ!

[ SILKIE ] deep medi / antisocial / rinse.fm // london.uk
Foundational dubstep vibes. Silkie's long awaited and highly requested Vancouver debut. It's time.
SILKIE is a dubstep producer and DJ from West London. He released his debut LP City Limits Volume 1 in July 2009 on highly-reputable DEEP MEDI MUSIK, a label run by MALA (one of original builders of the dubstep movement). He was personally chosen by Mala, along with collaborator Quest, to represent the growing global bass scene in Mary-Anne Hobbs’ live mix showcase Generation Bass in September 2008 on BBC Radio 1, two-and-a-half years after the seminal Dubstep Warz.
“It’s fair to say the dubstep scene has splintered and refracted into myriad Sub(bass)styles over the last couple of years, but at the epicentre of the scene are a few artists who have maintained the original spirit of the style while alloying it successfully with influences that were always hovering on the edges, but never fully integrated. Silkie is one of those artists… who’s heated elements of deeper and synth driven soul around the glowing core of DMZ’s bassbins to create one of the lushest fusions in the scene.” -Boomkat, July 2009.
on Silkie's latest album:
DEEP MEDi Musik are proud to present the debut album from one of dubstep’s most exciting artists: Silkie. Hailing from west London, “City Limits Volume 1” is a glorious explosion of physical energy and concentrated emotion. Deep Medi is the burgeoning stable of dubstep pioneer, Mala (Digital Mystikz/DMZ).
The combination of impassioned melodies, ruff London bass, wonky synth and jungle-esque flourishes on “City Limits Volume 1” have made Silkie and his Anti Social Entertainment camp mainstays of the biggest and most influential venues in dubstep, like Fwd>>, DMZ London & Leeds, as well as London’s leading station Rinse FM.
The album is the culmination of eight years hard work: Silkie began producing at 15 while still at school. He’s now seeing the fruits of his labour with DJ bookings both across the UK and worldwide. Through his emotive production vision, he’s long since exploded beyond his own personal City Limits.

[ LORN ] brainfeeder // milwaukee.usa
Lorn’s debut full-length album Nothing Else, released on Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label, has stirred the minds of listeners and rattled the keyboards of critics around the world, accumulating praise from musical authorities such as Pitchfork and the BBC, as well as bloggers and the online underground alike.
The Milwaukee-based producer hails from the future of music as do his Brainfeeder contemporaries, however this young artist also forges a connection between the current exploding beat scene and its roots in the experimental scratch community born many years ago. Sharing his music online with other explorers of new software technology, Lorn cultivated a global following with his original scratch beats and traveled to play in the UK, Europe and Canada before ever releasing an album.
At age 23, this art school dropout has already been making beats for almost a decade, and with the release of Nothing Else has moved his mastery of emotion to a new level. Influenced by the sounds of metal, drum and bass, ambient, classical, early hip hop, funk and the inherent pain of human existence, the music that pushes itself out of Lorn’s head is uncompromising to the point of defiance, sharply reflecting his commitment to his craft that has inspired so many others. Lorn is an impassioned performer who commands the crowd, with a stage presence that parallels the extreme emotional output of his music. Expect no less than greatness from this artist; certitude and concern is a potent combination for the creation of beauty, and from the unconquerable will of one shall no doubt emerge profound musical experiences for many.

[ MALILONE ] argon // paris.france
Raised in the Parisian suburbs in a mixed-race family, Malilone found an escape from reality through music and chose to live life the way she wanted. With a background of multiple genres throughout her life : from rock and new-wave to electronic music such as synth-pop, minimal techno, jungle, house, disco and 90's hip hop, Malilone’s productions have helped express her influences and incorporate her emotion into the dubstep tempo we all love. Wanting to persue music as a career, Malilone took the next step and started studying sound engineering going on to work as a sound technician, which helped her transition into creating her own sound. In 2002, she started djing, practicing at home and local raves, she has since gone on to play in cities from Paris to Berlin. Surrounding herself in music, she then worked in A&R for Universal Music, where she learned the ins and outs about the music business and a better understanding about the technical side of music production.
Malilone production has seen support from producers like Matt-U, Von D and Bunzero as well as featuring in countless shows and mixes, as well as received high praise from the authorities at boomkat.

[ LONGSHANKS ] subdivision // vic
Chris Longshanks has been the longtime resident of one of Victoria’s most successful parties: SOLID! Saturday @ Lucky Bar. Chris helms the SUBDIVISION ship, who are by far the most consistant with bringing new club sounds to Victoria’s dancing masses.
Longshanks’ recent re-invention as one of Victoria’s ambassadors of bass has led to some amazing live performances alongside Flying Lotus, Excision, FaltyDL, Hrdvsion among other international performers. Moving from DJing into performing modular live sets using Ableton incorporating his own productions, Longshanks’ live sets traverse a myriad of genres, from 2step to dubstep to live hip-hop remixing. In 2009, he struck up a creative connection with Portland-based Run Riot Records, having 2 of his own productions released with plans for more later in 2010
---------------------------------------------------------
[ RUAIRI LAZERS ] panospria / acroplane // vic
Ruairi Lazers has experimental approach to dance music that often results in the unpredictable. All manner of styles and tempos are mashed together in an intelligent mix of acoustic instruments, ambient interludes, melodic synths and breakbeats. His sound is influenced by the artists such as Tipper, Richard H. Kirk, Shpongle and Si Begg as well as the output of Skam, Warp, Schematic and Rephlex record labels.
currently being courted to join north america's WORLD OF DRUM'N'BASS TOUR. LAZERS puts on a serious show.

[ TOMAS JIRKU ] rivers of / force inc / intr_version / alien8 // van
Tomas Jirku was discovered in 1999, when he sent out two demos to (then strictly online label) No Type director David Turgeon, who immediately invited him to join the label. Through a limited CD-R edition of his first web album, Immaterial, his music reaches the ears of Alien8 co-director Gary Worsley, who signs him on the spot. Meanwhile, Tomas had started a very special project on No Type, called Variants: regularly, he uploaded, changed, deleted tracks. All in all, nearly sixty tracks were composed this way. The eponymous disc (on Alien8) features 12 of these tracks and obtained great popular and critical success.
Hot on the heels of Variants, Tomas Jirku was invited to the first edition of Montreal-based festival Mutek, where he opened for the well known German minimalist Thomas Brinkmann. This show was such a success, Tomas was immediately invited to release a CD on the prestigious German label Force Inc: Sequins. This CD was followed with a “reworked” reissue of Immaterial, on new Alien8 sublabel Substractif.
As he became increasingly in demand, Tomas performed in numerous live shows, in Canada and across the world. New music was released on various compilations (Clicks & Cuts 2, The Freest of Radicals, Elektonische Musik Interkontinentale 1 & 2) as well as on many 12” singles. He could also be heard remixing artists such as Process or Electric Company. Finally, he released the Entropy CD for Montreal-based label Intr_version. The following year was dedicated to collaboration, with a GI Joe Killaz album (a silly gangsta hip-hop project featuring the famous cartoon characters), as well as a more serious project with his accomplice Robin Judge, which yielded the CD Plusism on the Onitor label.
---------------------------------------------------------
[ DONKEY DONG ] vic
AKA Thomas Shields of Run Chico Run. But this is a far cry from his duo’s complex, quirky pop structures… Donkey Dong is Shields in Techno mode. A big analog synth fan, Shields brings a schwak of sequencers & keyboards to the stage & proceeds to create a swirling vortex of trickling melodies with thrumming propulsion. all live. no laptop. Taking influence from Detroit & Berlin, Donkey Dong is an exciting new project from Victoria.

DISTANCE @ THE ASTORIA
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
DISTANCE
( London, UK - Planet Mu, Hotflush, Boka, Chestplate )
Part of the small nucleus of South London based Dubstep innovators, Distance has been a name on everyone's lips since day one, and is widely recognized as having helped to lay the foundations of what dubstep is and develop what it has become. Fostering a unique sound, Distance as producer, DJ and label owner has been pushing things in a direction all of his own. Gathering early support from the legendary John Peel and going on to be part of the utterly seminal Dubstep Warz show on Radio 1 presented by Mary Anne Hobbs, Distance has forged a name for himself as a critical figure in the scene. As a stalwart of the all the biggest dubstep raves (DMZ, FWD and Exodus) and with bookings notched up around the world, he is very much at the forefront of the scene and in high demand. From deep to devastating in one dubplate switch up, Distance truly knows how to tear up the dance. No one does it like him. If you're thinking about booking Distance, make sure your soundsystem hardware is punching well above the weight required for most club music. His dubplate selection will give even the most bass battered set ups a full performance check. Distance's recorded output is also formidable, finding homes on labels as underground and seminal as Hotflush, Destructive and Boka in his early career, to ending up on the world reputed Planet Mu, on which Distance released his debut album in 2007. Also that year he started his own stable, Chestplate. A label set up with the intention of showcasing the freshest of his own productions which have been destroying dances and flooring radio listeners ever since. After just a handful of releases it is already established as one of the increasingly few, 'buy-on-sight' dubstep labels. The onslaught looks set to continue with the recent announcement of a second full length album for the unstoppable Planet Mu label. Highlights of his production repertoire include 'V'; a track as heavy as 100 ten tonne trucks that pounds and stomps, crunches and growls. It has torn up dancefloors worldwide since it's dubplate debut and is a perfect example of a track that showcases Distance's fraught and angry production style. Conversely another Distance classic, 'Feel Me', oozes something far less overtly aggressive; all motorik hypnotik groove and ring modulated synth squeel. Distance's studio has spawned multiple stone cold killers over a range of styles but all uniquely Distance, highlighting why his new releases are some of the most highly anticipated in the scene.
