SAT JAN 09: GHOST INDUSTRIES & ATLANTA DUBSTEP 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.

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.

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.

Ghost Industries w/ The Breed, Ployd and Special Guest:

MITE!

We’ve team up with Carnevale Tattoos to rock their Grand Opening the first Saturday in June. There will be free food and, as you all know, the freshest of beats from The Breed, Ployd, antiMatter, a rare dj set from Proppa, and future beats from the one and only Mite!

The Breed are f**king hot right now, with some serious collabs and remixes on the way, as well as their own original music. These men bring it soldier-style, uncompromising and unflinching with their aural assaults on the masses. I’ve heard much of their unreleased biz and the ish is NASTY!

Without question, Ployd is a favorite in Atl with his dubstep style, mashing up hip hop & wobble to keep the crowd crunk.  He’s got skills on the 1’s & 2’s, having co-hosted radio shows on Leet Radio and dnbtv.com, and has been rockin the dubstep sound since it first started to creep up from underground a few years back.

Mite has been making some incredible music lately, receiving DJ support from the likes of Wonder, Mayhem, BunZero, and Cobra Krames.  Here is what Infernal from http://infernal-techno.blogspot.com/ had to say about Mite in his Artist Feature back in March:

“An Atlanta Native, [Mite] has recently packed it all up and moved to Brooklyn. He’s been working closely with Atlanta’s best though. Mayhem and Distal have been working with [him] closely on a number of forthcoming projects. All three players have three totally separate sounds from each other, which all seem to work magically when they come together. Dubstep, Techno, Experimental…whichever term you prefer, I think you will find that [Mite's] sounds are sharp yet playful, bold while luscious, and very much so well packaged.”

C u all there June 6, with new ink and positive vibes.
