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.

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

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.

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.

New Dubstep DJ Mix From AntiMatter!!!

DANCERS IN THE DARK

Some serious heat on this one, with tunes from homegrown talent thrown in to represent for Atlanta.  The intro reflects the raw soul of this music, as dubstep is spreading like a welcome disease all over the streets, throughout the ‘hoods, and all around the globe.  Keep your ears peeled for exclusives like Distal’s Zeus de Trop and Hot Coffee (the latter a collaboration with San Fransisco resident Konplex), cos I know you’ll be hearing more of this good shit for sure!!  Other Atlanta heavyweights offering tracks include Mayhem, Section 8, Trench, and Trillbass, whose Bring It Live is a bangin’ raved up monster.  The final sequence offers another unreleased gem from none other than Brooklyn’s Mite, who contributes his sensual and serene Villa de Stray Light just before Morvern, which is a beautiful piece of music by Holland’s 2562, while Synkro’s  Good Times closes the mix with a lush and airy mood that helps listeners comedown easy with it’s chill vibes.  This one is for those of us who feel it deep in the bass bins, dancing in the dark.

SUB.TRACTION Tonight!!

DUBSTEP BIZNESS @ EL BAR!!

The time has come, and we are ready!  Fresh from the success that was 2562’s first Atlanta appearance, the promotional force that is known as Atlanta Dubstep is set to flood El Bar tonight with the fattest of beats and the sickest of bass!!  Three local heros will be touching down for this month’s showcase of ATL dub, and the line-up represents the full spectrum of the sound.

Whisperlink

Whisperlink is one-half of the two-man army that is Heavy Machine, who have just released a smokin’, “crispy southern-fried dubstep” EP on Abstract Logic Recordings, featuring 3 tracks of original music, one of which features vocals from Khujo Goodie of Goodie Mob fame.

Distal

It must be said that Distal’s sound is deep.  Trippy soundscapes, warm bass, and crystal leads and melodies paint a serene picture of this man’s take on dubstep.  Lately, however, Distal’s direction has been going towards more “gangsta shit”, with harder beats and hip-hop samples.  Whatever the brushes he chooses to paint with, do not miss the abstract audio collage that permeates the club when Distal is in control.

Quad Control

Quad Control is a wicked DJ who has been in the game since day dot, representing the notorious Koncrete Jungle crew from New York to Minneapolis to Atlanta and beyond.  His recent release on Worldwide Transmissions has been making the rounds on many decks this spring, and we at Ghost Industries always have his productions on heavy rotation.  QC knows how to rock the party.

EA LOVE APRIL 2009

Big t’ings tonight, with this month’s EA Love going down in East Atlanta.  Drop Bombz & Wobble House have kept the night going for several months now, bringing together Atlanta’s finest DJs and live hip hop acts for a night of debauchery and dope beats.  I am scheduled to play alongside Quadrant’s Cyanide, who has released music for Moving Shadow, Fokuz, and Citrus Recordings, including a personal fav of mine, Rage & Rapture.  Techy-female-vocal business.  You’ve heard it in the club…

So, I nabbed a few tunes from Beatport, set Logic to record, and smashed them together on three decks.  It’s a funky mix of hard drum & bass and techy dubstep.  Here it is for free download.  Enjoy.

Sorry… EA Love Promo Mix is no longer available.
