OOGUN
DRUNK ELEPHANT SOUND | DUBSTEP ALLIANCE | BASE FM

Nigerian DJ / Producer / Label Owner. Former London resident where he used to play on legendary early UK Internet pirate Radio station Interface as well as various clubs around the UK. He’s played everything from Afrobeat to Jungle to Detroit Techno (you want to see his collection of Underground Resistance 12’s). After moving to Auckland in 2006 he started the Drunk Elephant Sound System radio show on Base Fm (named after the realisation that Dubstep sounds like a pissed elephant wandering through a jungle). It’s also the name of the label he runs. He produces Dubstep as OoGuN, which means there’s always a fair sprinkling of exclusive dubs from NZ and overseas producers who he’s been playing swapsies with. Now pioneering a sound he calls “Dubhall” he’s also got more than a passing interest in music around the 130 bpm range. Oogun will soon be joining the ranks of Matty G, 6 Blocc, OSC and DJ Madd with a forthcoming 12 inch on the strictly limited WAR series of releases. WAR017 - OoGuN Vs. OSC ‘Version 4 Version’ is out soon.

DUBSTEP ALLSTARS VOL. 7

REPRESENTING:

HESSLE AUDIO | SWAMP 81 | TEMPA | APPLE PIPS | SOUL JAZZ | 2ND DROP | HEMLOCK | SUB FM

Its four years since dubstep passed its tipping point and went from tight knit London community to global scene. It is now as accepted by LA ravers as London jazz heads, vocalled by pop stars as diverse as La Roux and Snoop Dogg. And if the first wave of dubsteppers (El-B, Zed Bias, Horsepower) took the swing of garage and made it darker and the second (Hatcha, Skream, Benga, Digital Mystikz & Loefah) re-engineered its DNA into a genre with its own identity, then in many ways Ramadanman is representative of many key ‘third wave’ players.

Brought up in the rural south west of England, far from dubstep’s south London birthplace, he learnt to mix at 13 but first encountered dubstep when his grime-inspired productions were compared online to a genre he’d yet to hear of. After investigating, he attended dubstep’s foundational club, Forward>>, and had, as many people do, a life-changing experience. “I first went in April 2006 when Mala was playing alongside N Type and maybe Geeneus I think. Definitely changed my life!” he enthuses. “Really exciting vibe, the heaviest soundsystem I had ever heard and just really changed my outlook on music. I don’t think I realised sub bass existed before then.”

True to the community spirit of the genre, he left Forward>> not just with a new found musical direction but people to share the enthusiasm for it with: when he subsequently arrived at Leeds University to study languages, he found some of those friends he’d made in the cold, east London queue were also there too. It would be from Leeds University that he and his friends, Ben UFO and Pangaea, would begin a label (Hessle Audio) that would see them take their sound all over the globe.

“Hessle is becoming more and more a group of mates really,” says Ramadanman. “We’ve all known each other a good few years now… We all play a part in choosing tunes and discussing release plans. Sometimes one of us can become excited about a particular tune, and then the other two hear it and are like ‘nah this isn’t actually very good’ which keeps us all in check I feel. Quite a democratic approach really. We played in Berlin last week, all of us, and it was just really nice having a laugh with mates.”

Ramadanman represents the maturing dubstep sound emotionally contained and controlled, the diametric opposite of the explosive adolescent wobble tantrums that now dominate parts of the scene. As the distance from drop-culture widens you can see how its global appeal has expanded beyond the genre, as it cosies up to groove-lead scenes like techno and house. “I think there’s a danger of some technoey dubstep stuff just sounding like techno at 140bpm and not really differentiating itself from the years of techno that have preceded it. I’m not so much influenced by techno these days really,” he admits. Yet you can’t help but feel that, perhaps, it has left part of its DNA behind.

Rama has racked up scene defining releases on labels including Soul Jazz, Tempa, Aus, Critical Music and Hessle Audio, the imprint he co-runs with Pangaea and Ben UFO, as well as remixing the likes of Ragga Twins, Scuba and many more. He is also heavily involved in organizing the Leeds night Ruffage as well as co-hosting the now infamous Ruffage Sessions weekly internet radio show on Sub FM.

With fans spanning the dance music divide – including Ricardo Villalobos, Skream, Francois K, Kode9, Bok Bok, Gilles Peterson and Rob da Bank – Ramadanman’s bright future is all but assured.

Rama’s latest release ‘Fall Short / Work Them’ is out this week on Swamp 81.

 Hip-hop experimentalist Flying Lotus will release his third album, Cosmogramma, this spring on Warp Records.

It will be the LA producer’s first full-length since Los Angeles, the strange and brilliant post-hip-hop record that took the music world by surprise upon its release in summer of 2008. The album received top ratings here at Resident Advisor and gushing accolades from Pitchfork, Spin and Mary Anne Hobbs, who went so far as to call Flying Lotus “the Hendrix of his generation.”

Riding the success of his previous album, Flying Lotus managed to nail down some very interesting collaborators for Cosmogramma—most notably, Thom Yorke of Radiohead, who sings on the track “…And The World Laughs With You.” As the nephew of Alice Coltrane, FlyLo has also managed to recruit a few acclaimed jazz and classical musicians, including former Suicidal Tendencies bassist Stephen “Thundercat” Bruno and harp virtuoso Rebekah Raff, who appeared previously with Flying Lotus on the track “Auntie’s Harp.”

Musically, Cosmogramma shows Flying Lotus further perfecting his trippy and syncopated style of electronic beats. In an interview with Pitchfork Media, he said: “I’m finally getting to the point where I can make the kind of records that I want to make—that I wanted to make when I was younger, things that I dreamed about making. It’s this fusion-y kind of thing where all the elements of the music that I love are there.”

In support of this album’s release Flying Lotus is rumored to be touring his new live Audio Visual showcase through Australia and New Zealand later in 2010.

Big tings in the works from the DMZ camp. I was talking to Coki when he was here in October about whether there was a likely Digital Mystikz album in the works. I was under strict instructions not to let on that he and Mala were working on a full length debut. Seems safe to let the cat out of the bag now. Trust me this is going to be good. Foundation style.

Mala has revealed details of Digital Mystikz‘ first release 2010, and it’s a big one.

Return II Space will be released on 3×12? vinyl in May. Given the catalogue number is DMZLP001, it’s safe to call it an album – though whether it’s by Mala alone or with Coki, his partner in Digital Mystikz, is uncertain. The cover art is pictured above.

No tracklist has been made available as yet, but it seems obvious that Mala’s track ‘Return to Space’ will feature.

As a label and production enterprise, DMZ has been quiet of late, its last official 12? release being Coki’s 2008 offering ‘Triple Six’ / ‘Road Rage’.

Mala hasn’t recorded anything for the label since 2007’s ‘Lean Forward’, choosing instead to focus his energies on his Deep Medi Musik label, which also has an album-length release on the way in the form of Deep Medi Musik Vol. 2, the imprint’s second CD compilation which compiles past singles by Mala, Quest, Silkie and more.

We’ll update you with a tracklist and any additional info as soon as we have it.

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.
