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.

SAT JAN 09: GHOST x ATL DUB PRESENT ZENO!!

We at Ghost Industries keep our ears to the ground seeking out the best talent to help us share our love of bass music. Zeno is no exception. We’ve been fans of his for a very long time now, and relish our friendship with the Dirty Circuit Records family. If you were at our show with DCR label-boss Ale Fillman, then you know the DCR crew knows how to rock the party!!

2009 has been a busy year for David ” Zeno” Jones.  Monthly releases on various labels and several widely acclaimed remixes have put Zeno on the map as a highly respectable Dubstep artist. His latest EP titled AudioVision on Dirty Circuit Records has demonstrated Zeno’s versatility in style. Zeno also hosts his monthly radio show, Thinking Juice, on dubstep.fm. In June 2009, Thinking Juice set a record for highest listener count on dubstep.fm.  Zeno has also been busy touring, representing Sub.Mission and Dirty Circuit Records across the United States.

We are proud to present this show with our friends Atlanta Dubstep. This will be Zeno’s first Atlanta appearance. We’ve scouted a virgin venue for this and our future shows in EAV and will have AtlDub’s massive sound system in full effect, as well as our trippy visuals plastered all over the walls.

If you don’t know about Zeno, you better axe somebody.  Stay sharp.

THE DEVIL SMILED

WOW! I am so happy with the turnout of our Devil’s Night edition of ESP Friday night. It was great to have so many friends come thru and get down with us at The Bench. I would say 90% of the party people there were decked out in some really cool costumes. Some of the best were Katie & Inferno pairing up as Al & Peggy Bundy, Mite dressed as the Travelocity Gnome, Focal as Napoleon Dynamite, Distal’s King of the Castle, and my lady’s Hot Tamale outfit. Now, onto the music.

Shannon-&-me-1Whoa. 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.

KK1Kid 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.

Us@Bench2009I 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!!

Big up all my friends who came out to show some love. Big up all the talent for providing such a great soundtrack for the party people in the place, representing their love for the music and playing without boundaries. Big up The Bench for hosting us. Big up Proppa MC for keepin’ it low-key and focused.

ESP w/ BETAMORPH RECORDINGS’ DEEJ

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2009

ESP-25SEP09-FlyerFront

Stateside-based label Betamorph Recordings is the bass-heavy fruit of veteran DJs and producers  Dylan James (aka Deej) and Chris McCahill (aka Megatron). Taking the visceral edge of Deej’s roots in the early ’90s Los Angeles rave scene, and combining it with Megatron’s seminal graphic imagery of a galactic future, Betamorph offers a palette of kinetic, funky, yet twisted Dubstep releases that shred any remaining borders around contemporary electronic music.

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 Phaded, Skrewface, Big Basha, Gaia, Black Swan, and DJ Robyn. This ensures that Betamorph will never follow a specific sound, so output can stay spontaneous and the catalogue never predictable. The passion is as deep as the bass, but the ambition reaches to another galaxy. This is true subterranean sci-fi: hard tunes and the future of dubstep, a genre undergoing betamorphosis.

In 1997, Deej was playing parties in his native L.A. with great and influential acts like Simply Jeff, Jason Blakemore, Ron D Core and R.A.W.   In 2005, Dylan relocated to Florida, playing shows and dominating the local scene. After running Jacksonville’s dubstep label Abducted Dub for a few months, Deej started his very own Betamorph Recordings.  Drawing his eclectic influences from across drum and bass, breaks, house and even a little Pink Floyd, Deej now has the perfect platform to unleash his vision of tomorrow’s sounds on both national and global levels. He’s done so playing alongside heavyweights like 12th Planet, Babylon System, Trillbass, Scuba, and Werd2jah.  Ghost Industries welcomes Deej back to Atlanta after destroying the North Atlanta Trade center earlier this summer.

Download the mix below to get a taste of what’s to come.
