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.
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!!
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
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.

Thank you to everyone who came out for ESP last night!
Big up DZK, Heather, Shannon, and XJay for reppin their sounds without compromise. Much love to all who came thru, and we can’t wait for next month with Betamorph Recordings, Gimpmode, and Nefarious!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT ESP TONIGHT
Due to circumstances beyond our control, Atlanta Dubstep will not be performing as part of ESP tonight. The venue made a mistake with its booking schedule, and booked a live band during this month’s art stroll instead of following through with plans to have Atl Dub provide the soundtrack for the show. Ghost Industries learned about the schedule early this morning when we called Niche to set up for the event. Apparently there had been an event scheduled with a full band and dancers for the artist exhibiting her work, and she will have to cut her event short to 10pm to make way for ESP. This was entirely a mistake on behalf of the venue, as both the exhibiting artist and Ghost Industries had longer events planned for tonight and will have to compromise to make room for one another.
Our sincerest apologies to everyone who was looking forward to hearing Jeremy, Inferno, & Crookhaven represent the mighty sound of the Atl Dub crew. We will certainly make up for this very soon.
ESP show will go on, starting @ 10pm sharp. antiMatter will open the night with selections of dubstep, bassline, electro, and funky house. DZK will follow with deep and epic sounds and Heather has a special surprise for us all. (Think twice as nice.) I know X-Jay is bringing some smoking exclusives with him as well.
Stayed tuned for our next event, featuring Betamorph Recordings’ Deej out of Jacksonville, FL, September 25, w/ Gimpmode, Nefarious, and antiMatter.
A HEALTHY LOVE FOR HOUSE & DUBSTEP
A SPECIAL SESSION OF WAREHOUSE MUSIC
FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2009
It all started with warehouse music. Back in the early days of rave, when promoters would risk breaking into an old warehouse and set up sound/visuals to host parties and raves, the music was generally a mix of disco records and early eighties dance. Before it morphed into the various sub-genres it is categorized by today, the music was simply referred to as “warehouse” music. The term “warehouse” soon became “house,” as people would refer to it that way in the record shops, simply shortening the description of the music they heard at the raves…
- Heather live at The Tabernacle, Atlanta, GA, Summer 2009
Click here for video of Heather’s performance at The Tabernacle.
But the truth is that house is more than a label for this music. It is a vibe. It is the drive behind the music. It’s the groove. House ain’t all that complicated; put the track on, get your groove on. House music is sexier. It’s deeper. It’s the universal language for dance. It goes straight into your soul. Funky. Hypnotic. Throbbing.
Ghost Industries proudly represents the spirit of warehouse music with our next session of ESP. To best illustrate the beauty and appeal of house music we have asked our 
friend and seasoned Atlanta dj Heather B to make us sweat. She’s been a staple in the scene for over a decade, and has held multiple residencies throughout the city, including The Wine Loft and Bazzaar. She’s been booked alongside many of the biggest names in dance music such as Eric Kupper, Vickter Duplaix, and Tiesto, to name a few, by a host of Atlanta promoters and event organizers. In short, Heather’s name was the first to come to mind for ESP. Expect nothing short than a set of groovy, sexy house from one of our city’s finest.
Ben “Andersven” is without doubt one of the best djs in the dirty south, otherwise known across the entire southeast as Atlanta’s drum & bass dj DZK. Don’t miss the chance to hear a bangin’ set of hard trance from Ben! You know he’ll bring the same slammin style as he does when he’s rockin’ shows armed with mash-ups and exclusives!
For all of our bass-loving ‘headz out there, you know Ghost Industries has much love for the Atlanta Dubstep crew, who will be performing a special warm-up session with their own set of fatt tracks, so be sure come early to catch Jeremy, Inferno, and Crookhaven between 7-10pm. Then antiMatter will handle the transition between dubstep and house, and X-Jay will close the night with his individual take on the tech-house sound.

SLAUGHTER ON THE DANCEFLOOR!!
Ale Fillman
WHOA!! It’s taken me all day today to recover from last night! Ale Fillman & Prolific really murdered the sound at ESP!! The music was bangin as soon as Whisperlink started the show with his uncompromising style. Prolific came through with some heavy drum & bass riddims and moved seamlessly into a funky set of dubstep stormers, all while rocking the mic and keeping everybody jumping. Definitely a strong presence from Foul Play Records. Then Ale Fillman brought some serious heat to the dance with his very first selection, dropping sick, sick tunes full of energy and to massive crowd response. He was jumping around behind the decks and bangin out mixes. His set was full of stormers, to say the least.
Prolific
Both Prolific and Fillman displayed some wicked off-the-cuff cuts and scratches over heavy hip hop flavored tracks. The energy was always high, moving between a more grinding style of funk to more excited and aggressive. A great set of music from both artists, not least to mention the mighty Whisperlink, who alongside Werd2Jah opened the night with a roaring set.
Whisperlink
AntiMatter picked up after Ale Fillman, keeping the energy high for the first part of his performance then closing out the night with fatt beats and exclusive dubs from Atlanta producers Trench, Distal, Mayhem, and Section 8.
There was a mixed crowd at Niche for ESP, which is definitely a sign of good health. There were many new faces than usually seen around town at local dubstep events. People came from Nashville, Kentucky, and Jacksonville. And there were plenty of ladies in the house, too.
Big Up to our friends Mayhem, Ployd, Distal, Mite, Zagga, 818, and Jeremy for coming thru and showing us love. Mad love to the performers for holding it down and ripping it up, and to Werd2Jah & Proppa for keeping the mics hot.
Sit tight for our next session, Atlanta.
