THE RETURN OF ESP, SAT. FEB. 27
Ghost Industries is proud to announce the return of our monthly party, ESP. After a short break over the holiday season, we have teamed up with our extended families at Betamorph Recordings and Furthersound Artist Management to bring you another first appearance from yet another top Stateside dubstep producer, the inimitable Richie August. Richie has come a long way in a relatively short amount of time, first taking an interest in dubstep music as late as 2008, and since releasing his debut ep Deathproof through Betamorph, his profile has skyrocketed and Richie has been devastating audiences with his unique sound of hip-hop flavoured beats and nasty, grimey bass. More recently, he has partnered with Claw (of Trillbass), and the two have been busy touring and releasing material as HULK, as well as launching the Brotown imprint.
We’re also very happy to welcome DeeJ back to Atlanta. With Betamorph Recordings’ roster of hard-hitting talent and steady catalog of hot releases, it’s no wonder that his label was nominated Best New Label for the Dubstep Forum Awards 2010. DeeJ always has the freshest beats from the best producers in the scene. With a slew of new material slated for release as Dubsteppers for Haiti, Vol 2 & 3 (and a possible fourth volume), this man is not without the absolute best his artists have to offer. Richie August and DeeJ have a rich history together, so you know these two are gonna murder the sound spinning back-to-back for 3 hours!
Joining the family of Betamorph producers are Total Recall, who are rapidly on the rise due to numerous and constant appearances all over the US. The two are an Atlanta favourite, with their debut dubstep ep BANG BANG released through Atlanta’s own Abstract Logic Recordings. Rounding out the night’s line-up is the unstoppable Cain, alongside antiMatter with Proppa MC x Ricky Raw holding it down on the mic.
It’s gonna get nasty.

Come throw down w/ us and the Fuze crew for a very special night. Local legend 
M3 Productions and 
Whoa. Such amazing music all night long. Beat Baby got the ball rollin’ with some grimey dubstep, then Distal came on with a blend of 2-step/garage, some deeeeep bass-heavy ghetto-tech bizness, some of his own brilliant originals, and some harder dubstep. Then Quadrant took to the stage with a stunning selection of creamy-smooth melodic funk that kept the drum & bass tempo but little else in comparison to earlier Renegade Hardware releases. He kept a clean flow from the chilled rhythms straight thru to the harder end of his set, leaving plenty of room for Mayhem to come in and really take over the sound. Never one to disappoint, Mayhem straight killed that shit with a seamless mix of hard drum & bass beats, solid rap selections, and a healthy dose of funky dubstep.
Kid Kryptic came on at 1:00am and played for 120 minutes. I couldn’t have asked for a more varied and dynamic set. I didn’t know what to expect from him, as I’ve heard many different sides of his music. He shared a vast selection of glitch-hop, dubstep, and sinister drum & bass tracks. Like a chameleon, he changed moods and shades with clean mixing and transitions and kept a mindful pace throughout. The first part of his performance featured celestial pads and arpeggios coupled with thunderous bass, chunky riffs, and sharp drums. Though the music was open and clear, it wasn’t without a consistent funk and drive, dropping heavy and hard with beats galore. Really fucking cool. The intensity of his tracks kept building and building, getting harder and harder with every new groove, layering drums into complex rhythms cutting through full, warm bass. The second hour of his set was littered with nasty dubstep and drum & bass madness as he manipulated the decks into organized chaos, characterized by snappy snares and chest-rattling kicks behind raspy synths and reeces. Though Kid Kryptic covered vast musical ground, his performance never stretched too thin.
I was in such a great fucking mood when it came my turn to play that I just donned my monk’s hood and went to work. I blazed through a searing selection of the hottest shit I’ve got. Tons of exclusives and unreleased bits. From the set opener I let loose with some uncompromising shit, stitching together all kinds of madness. After about 50 minutes I asked Beat Baby to have another go at the decks. This being her first performance with Ghost Industries, she had to shine for the crew. She did so well, rocking some bad-ass dubstep, keeping everybody on the floor moving and hype. Rock that shit, baby!!
Founded in 2009, Betamorph is continually releasing a series of epic soundscapes and dirty symphonies to cement their position at the forefront of dubstep evolution. The artist roster currently boasts names such as
