The Gaslamp Killer (USA) @ Toto Bacco Room, Thursday 25th February

January 30th, 2010

The Gaslamp Killer is touring NZ in February and Beats People Movement have been lucky enough to secure an exclusive Auckland show !!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE GASLAMP KILLER (Brainfeeder Records, Low End Theory, USA)

The Gaslamp Killer is a Los Angeles-based DJ whose eclectic animal style ranges from psychedelia and world music to dubstep and left-field hip-hop. Associated with Flying Lotus Brainfeeder Records, he made his production debut in the late 2000s with a series of EPs.

Born William Benjamin Bensussen, he originally comes from San Diego, CA, whose downtown Gaslamp District’s bar scene inspired him to name himself The Gaslamp Killer in disgust for much of the patronage. But his real home is behind the turntables, where his wild style takes DJing into the realm of freak fest psychedelia.

Upon relocating to Los Angeles, he found a niche for himself amid the city’s massive underground party scene and ultimately found a home for himself as a resident DJ at the club Low End Theory, which resulted in a series of club-sponsored podcasts. He also released a series of mix CDs, among them Gaslamp Killers (2007), Its a Rocky Road (2007), I Spit On Your Grave (2008), Hell and the Lake of Fire Are Waiting For You! (2009) and All Killer (2009), the latter a label showcase for the London-based world psychedelia imprint Finders Keepers Records.

As a producer, The Gaslamp Killer made his debut in the late 2000s, releasing, a split single with Free the Robots The Killer Robots, in 2008 and EP My Troubled Mind in 2009.

“We wanted the fabric CD to be like the best podcast we’ve ever done. That was our aim. When we were asked to do it, we approached all the people making music we love, and asked them to write us something special for the CD. Distance, Scuba, Genotype, myself and Instra:mental all did it. It’s a great collection of music, harmonically it all works together; and as much as we have different styles, you’d be surprised what tunes stick together just from being in key. We wanted to showcase what it is that we’re doing, and what the sound is capable of.” – dBridge

Fabricfirst members will be get this from 1st February 2010, with the CD available on general release worldwide from 15th February 2010.

OoGuN gets pressed to 7 inch on Loopy Fruit Recordings

December 12th, 2009

Attendees of the Dubstep Alliance and Beats People Movement* promotions will know OoGuN’s sounds well. He has a bunch of digital releases on his burgeoning Drunk Elephnat Sound imprint and adds to that catalog with a remix of Dub Asylum’s Ba Ba Boom, a track from the 2008 EP of the same name. Dub Asylum is the alias of Auckland-based beat maker Peter McLennan aka Peter Mac.

Stinky Jim had this to say about the release:

Of articular and particular note this evening was Oogun giving Dub Asylum a right smack-up remix for the debut 7″ on Loopy Fruit Records. Props are properly dispensed to Messrs Mclenners and Oogoid for their work on this, it’s a scorcher. The 45 will be hitting shops on Monday the 7th but Conch will be copping ‘em from Friday, so NZers, show some love and support quality local tackle (internationalists not excluded neither…), check it out in the house of youtubular below), I’ve got absolutely no truck with music being bigged and upped on purely geographical stakes, but this would be getting a run or three on SG wherever it came from, top notch!

There is a release party happening at Ponsonby Social Club tomorrow from 5pm.

Check out the original and OoGuN’s remix on Youtube. We have a couple of individually numbered copies available in the store for $23 NZD.

Headhunter launches new label Transistor

October 26th, 2009

Marking the debut release on Headhunter’s Transistor imprint, the French crossover producer F displays his best work to date with Night Dive. Electrifying dub-techno synths and rolling dance floor drums put this tune into any peak time dj’s set. On the flip is a collaborative workout with Tempa’s Headhunter. Tested the world over this track delivers what the party wants. Rave stabs, rolling bassline and tripped out sci-fi effects sets the mood for this atmospheric roller. DJ Support from; Youngsta, RSD, 2562, Scuba, Mary Anne Hobbs, Appleblim, Jack Sparrow, DJG, ItalTek

You will remember Headhunter for the blazing set he laid down for us in March. Whats that you missed it? Shame brudda shaaame!

Some quick background - Headhunter started doing a grime show on a pirate station in the St Pauls district before starting a label with Tech Itch. Soon after that Tempa signed him on as an exclusive artist and now he’s blazing a trail with psychedelic and techno influenced Dubstep tracks that get regular support from Youngsta et al. Coming into contact with so much good music has led him to start his own label up. The first release featured a solo track and Dedale a colab with French producer F. Check out The Blog Of Headhunter for more info on what the man is up to including info on his live sets incorporating Ableton and his own personal VJ - a guy by the name of Lex..

Headhunter LIVE AV Dubstep / Techno Performance @ Stuk, Belgium from VectorMeldrew on Vimeo.Here’s an excerpt from a recent interview in Knowledge:

Why have you started your own label, Transistor?
I get sent so much stuff that I feel has a similar sound to what I do I can’t help but want to put it out under my own label. It’s just a natural progression really.

What’s the concept behind the label?
No concept as such, at the moment I’m aiming to put out an artist and then put either a remix or a collab from myself on the flip.

How often will you put out releases and which other artists will be on the label?
I’ll aim for every six months, the first release is with F, the second is DJG and the third is Jus Wan. I guess I’m taking it as it comes and trying to move with the times, pushing the sound of dubstep to newer and different levels

Tell us more about your first single with French producer F…

This tune is the reason I stated a label really. I had the F tune ‘Night Dive’ for a few months and I realised I needed to put it out. So a year later it’s finally come out and seen the light of day. F does have an album coming out sometime soon too, so do look out for that, not on my Transistor label but on the 7even label.

Full interview here.

Naomi Klein - The Shock Doctrine

October 25th, 2009

Naomi Kleins’s latest book The Shock Doctrine deals with the theories of economist Milton Friedman and his theory’s influence on modern realpolitik and the mainstream media.

A short impressive and informative film which I downloaded from Naomi Klein’s page, it is a description of her book ‘The Shock Doctorine/The Rise of Disaster Capitalism’..

‘The only way to resist shock is to know what is happening and why?’ N.Klein
