M3 Productions and Abstract Delirium present a new weekly event in Atlanta, Plush @ Utopia. With three distinct areas, Plush aims to please with a wide range of music. In the martini and tapas lounge upstairs, antiMatter will be serving lush, vibrant house music mixed with elements of funk and minimalism during an extended 5-hour set! Luna will be downstairs in Shangri-La playing alongside Atlanta’s legendary vinyl-junkie drum & bass vixen Little Jen. Expect a varied and refreshing set from Luna, moving deftly between electro house and dubstep. The third and largest room, Ice, will host Ford and Schroeder von Lischka.
Stateside-based labelBetamorph 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.

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.
Ale Fillman is what some call a mad sound-scientist. He combines fast-paced mixing and scratching with an onslaught of dubs that will rattle your senses with gritty, glitched-out drum patterns and deep, dark basslines.
Aside from running his successful dubstep label, Dirty Circuit Records (which has released music from the likes of Trillbass, Downlink, and Fragile, to name a few), and producing his own original cuts, Ale co-hosts Dirty Circuit Radio, a popular mix show on Sub.FM where he showcases upcoming filth from various producers in the scene! We are excited to have Ale at ESP for his first Atlanta appearance!
Whether it’s rocking b-boy jams, ‘tablist parties, microphones, electro/Bmore sets, or an all out dnb or dubstep assault, Prolific is moving the crowd with profound turntable routines, intricate lyrics, and original tracks with a unique flavor.
His heavyweight label Foul Play Records has had chart topping joints in multiple genres and his new project NONSTOPKROOKS w/ CoJaxx is one of the freshest indie groups to hit the industry and is setting its stamp with their album Polish Your Skills. Prolific holds titles in several turntablist and MC battles from all regions of the USA. Get ready for one of the most talented musicians/entertainers out of Florida to come rock Atlanta with inimitable style.
Local support from Whisperlink of Abstract Logic Recordings and resident DJ antiMatter. You can get mixes from both in our DJ MIXES section. Hosted by Proppa and Werd2Jah, plus an all-new live visual show by Enexgee.
antiMatter has been invited to Camp Reggae to perform at the Splendiferous Productions stage. We are definitely looking forward to this! The weather is forecasted to be prime for outdoor activities. This is a family-friendly environment so my wife and kid will be in attendance, which is not usually the case at antiMatter gigs. This will be a dubstep set, and I hope I’ll be able to sneak some drum and bass in there, as it’s been a short while since I played some dnb. We’ll see how the crowd might react to it! All the same, I’ve got some choice cuts to serve the locals in Tennessee, cuz I know they ain’t ever heard no shit like this!! I got some tunes fresh from various ATL labs, so they can expect some natty, exclusive tracks for this!
“In addition to live reggae music, Camp Reggae features camping, hiking, and swimming on scenic mountain property. Camp Reggae takes place on Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. The festivals are sponsored by Natti Love Joys. With roots that stem from the legendary greats such as Bob Marley, Toots and the Maytals and Jimmy Cliff, the sound of The Natti Love Joys is a dynamic blend of reggae, modern rhythm and blues, drum and bass, hip hop, and various forms of jazz. This creative style of music gives way to a unique one of a kind sound that captivates and amazes its crowd show after show. Voices of the Congos, Natti Love Joys, Nadine Sutherland, Bunny Brown, Shaggie Williams, Mystic Vibrations, A.K.A. Rudie, Selah, and many more still echo through gentle woodlands. Suitable for large groups.”
Get ready for the next gathering of local dubstep heros at El Bar!! Expect the spot to be rammed with ‘heads, feeling the pulse of heavy bass vibrating throughout the dance. The staff at El Bar always make this night a great time, and drink specials help you keep more money in your pocket for more drinks all night long! This month we have heavyweight bizness from none other than local legend Jeremy Kirk of Faderwarz, the one and only Ployd,who has co-hosted several shows on Leet Radio, and dnbtv.com, and Section 8, who is sure to bring an arsenal of original beats. Don’t be the one to hear about the madness from the masses the day after! For only $2 entry and cheap drinks, where are you gon be?
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.
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.
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.
Tambor Y Bajo is always a great time with the boys from 404 Audio. Tonight is really gonna get heavy with the sounds of the mighty Tester, internationally known both as a solo dj/producer and as part of the infamous Trilogy Sound Crew. He’s been on the front lines since the foundation days and his thousand pound dub box reflects just that. Tester’s distinctive brand of ragga-jungle and reggae dubplate murderation is a favorite amongst DJs, producers, and listeners alike. Releases on labels such as Tuff Gang International, Top Ranking and Jungle Royale, as well as Tester’s own imprints, Soundtest Records and Big Tune Records. Tester has over 30 tunes released to date and has produced well over 100 original dubplates and VIP remixes. With extensive touring across North America, Europe and beyond under his belt, Tester unleashes his infamous dubplate weaponry on the dancefloor! You’ve been warned…
As if that were not enough, you’ve also got top local talent Section 8 and local legend Mayhem to keep the pressure on all night!
