Garage Pressure (Aus), Dubstep Alliance - Wed 16th June
Garage Pressure DJ’s Farj and Paul Fraser set up Aquatic Lab with the vision of running a truly global Dubstep record label from Australia. Lab001 was released in January 2008 and featured Caspa & Rusko’s ‘Bread Get Bun’ and ‘King George’ two tunes that were massive on dubplate and have gone on to sell over 2000 copies world wide - unheard of for a new label outside of London. Bread Get Bun featured on the Rinse 02 Mix CD mixed by Skream and King George has been essential play for many top dubstep DJs. Incoming releases on Aquatic Lab include the godfather of dark break beat garage Zed Bias and rising stars DJ Pinch and Cotti.
Garage Pressure’s most recent club night - Aquarium - have hosted such heavyweights as Mala (DMZ), Skream, Benga, Kode9, Vex’d, Pinch, Caspa and Distance. In 2002, their club night DarkSyde (Dark Sydney) was the first breakstep & dubstep night in Australia and featured Oris Jay, Lombardo and Zed Bias.
Garage Pressure was the incubator for Australian producer Moving Ninja - a recognised pushing the boundaries of dubstep with releases on seminal UK label Tectonic.
