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.

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.

Now featuring Dapht1 b2b Bleak b2b Noon from 2am until 3am playing a special Dubstyle Radio set. See you there!

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..

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.

Download Headhunter’s Dubwar Mix 2009 here.

A excerpt of “the wordy bit” from this weeks realease mailer, if you live in NZ and are a Dubstep or Drum n Bass head drop us a line to sign up.

Plenty of quality releases on the sheets this week. The 2562 album is of particular note. We have put together a night “Dubstyle BBQ” happening this Friday at Supper Club would be great to see you all there. Flyer attached, facebook event page is here.

We recommend 2562’s ‘Unbalance’ CD/LP on Tectonic. Blending the sonic barriers between Dubstep and whatever. Wicked stuff.

Tectonic boss Pinch says: “I’ve worked closely with 2562 over the last few years and I can honestly say that Unbalance is an incredible album – it’s one of the most exciting releases that Tectonic has seen to date - it vastly exceeds the already high standard he set himself with Aerial.”

Check 2562’s FACT podcast here.

On the deep tip Quest “The Unknown” on Deep Medi Musik is getting lots of play round our way. Wedge & Shadz Running Away b/w the Guido remix is also with a listen. Ital Tek also comes through with ‘Mako EP’ for the launch of his Atom River label. Check previews and a free download of one of the tracks here: http://www.atomriver.co.uk/
Omitted from last week’s mention was F & Headhunter ‘Night Drive / Dedale’ on Headhunter’s new label Transistor, more info here.

Wobblers will want to check the new Hench promo of Chasing Shadows ‘Ill / Amirah’ as well as Emalkay’s big tune “When I Look at You” on Dub Police. I’d also recommend Kutz ‘Glithcy Finger / Twilight Zone’ on N-Type’s Wheel & Deal Records. All 3 are finish copy promos. Lots of Caspa and Rusko restocks at the bottom of the mailer too.

Jungle step is here to stay and check Cluekid & LD are leading teh way. Check “I Don’t Wanna Cry” on Cluekid’s Bullfrog Beats label.

Roots steppers should check out 3 promo releases in particular: Kion & Murda Ft. Junior Murvin ‘Number 1 Sound / Tes La Rok Remix on Little Island Records [ Audio Link ]. MRK 1’s ‘X-Tatic / Moving Toad’ on Contagious Music and Mungos Hi Fi Ft. Earl 16 / LD ‘International Roots (LD Remix) on Dub Police Records and as featured in N-Type’s Rinse 09 mix.

Drum n Bass crew will want to know about the vinyl release of Alix Perez’s ‘1984′ LP on Shogun Audio. Also wicked to see Consequence’s ‘Live For Never (LP Sampler)’ - his debut release on the forward-thinking Exit Recordings. Digital & Outrage’s joint ‘Red Letter’ LP on Function is definitely a project worth checking. Sub Focus also has his self titled LP released on Ram Records. Liquid crew will want to check the new Calibre on Signature as well as Zero T & (ex pat Kiwi) Mosus Ft. Spikey T on Liquid V.

Mix CD wise there is DJ Marky and friends present: Makato mix.

…

Niceness guaranteed!
