GET LOW SUNDAY SESSIONS vs BELOW THE LINE >> LOCK TAVERN >> 2ND OCTOBER



Get Low is back to take control of Camden's own Lock Tavern once again on Sunday 2nd October.  We're signing off the week in style with an array of musical delights topped off with a mean roast, cheap beverages and an evening BBQ.

As always, we've put together a tasty line-up and we've also teamed up with Below The Line who bring their DJ squad who tore up the Outlook Beach parties at Outlook Festival, but are also helping us stream and record the entire thing live on their highly anticipated site.


LINE-UP


ILL BLU

This has been a long time coming and we're proud to finally be hosting Rinse FM stalwarts Def1 and Jreel.  This is funky as it should be done.




JAMES FOX

Deep bass driven music is the name of the game, a subscape where Mr Fox excels.  Pushing his sound from Dubstep to recent future house sounds, come and get absorbed for a special Sunday set.




NIGHTOWL

We've crossed paths with Nightowl a few times in the past year and he always impresses.  Effortlessly slaying dancefloors and pulling out tune after tune from an Alladin's cave of a racord bag, this will be an absolute treat.

Check out his most recent mix:

WACHS LYRICAL

Producer/DJ/Promoter, Liam seems to breathe the industry.  With a strong belief that you can't pigeon-hole music by basic genres, come get a masterclass from Wachs before he returns to the US to complete his schooling of our trans-atlantic cousins.

**Wachs Lyrical absolutely smashed the Outlook Festival beach parties.  Killer DJ! **

D-RAIL

With a new found passion for Moombahton and Dancehall, make sure you get down early to catch the Get Low regular in action.

Oh by the way...

The first 10 people who tweet "#GETLOWroasts" get a legendary Lock Tavern sunday roast for only a fiver!  Trust us, they're something special.

Audio Doughnuts 1st Anniversary + last AD night review



Click on the fliers to check the event on Facebook.


Audio Doughnuts bring out another long line-up event this time at Hidden.  The main headliner is being kept underwraps, but look out from a live set from Rustie, who's currently been to blame for a number of heads exploding due to this anthem:


Grabbing LV & Joshua Idehen is a savvy move after their excellent Routes album, and you can be sure there's going more than a few gunfingers when this one drops:


I'm most excited about seeing Oris Jay (aka Darqwan) for some old school dark garage riddims.

There's a whole bunch of free tracks to download on the Oris Jay soundcloud page, highly recommended.

Audio Doughnuts always has a ton of residents, so if the future music and weird beats aren't your bag, you can be sure to be skanking away in Room 2 to the skilled smaller names.

I went to the last Audio Doughnuts on the Sunday of Notting Hill Carnival.

This was the flyer
I rocked up to Corsica Studios relatively late (around 11.30pm-ish) to behold a lengthy queue trailing from the front.  Thankfully I had a press pass (natch) so was also to skip on through.  Corsica Studios is a funny ol' club, with it's unintuitive layout of corridors and sparse decal.  However, this had to effect of making the proceedings feel more like a house party than a clubnight, albeit a house party with a hefty Function One soundsystem.

  I walked into the main room to the sounds of Mella Dee from Mista Men smashing it with a high energy set stirring the thick soup of people on the dancefloor.  Besides awesome DJ sets, Mista Men have recently collaborated with Detboi for a release coming out on HervĂ©'s Cheap Thrills label. Zoop.


After Mella Dee's set we went outside for a fag and general vibing with the friendly crowd before Boddika took to the decks.

I was crushed to find out my old SF pal Kozee couldn't make it, it turned out that UK customs turned her away at the border and made her fly back to the US!  She needs to get back over here sharpish.

Boddika played a 45 minute set and went in hard with from the outset mixing magnificently.  The fact that he can switch and hold usual bass heads so significantly with his detroit style electro is a credit to the innovations of his production.  His analogue sound flourished on the Function One speakers immersing the dancefloor deeply.

Highlights of Boddika's set was this tune getting wheeled:



Boddika finished on this anthem:


 His set left me thinking that Boddika could be one of the most important recent producers in the UK right now in UK bass music. 

French Fries had the unenvious position of being the following DJ, a tough role considering Boddika's class act.  He switched the vibe and took things downtempo for a dark poised set, there was no 'Senta' style galloping here.  French Fries was billed very late in the night, so the low brooding beats fitted the night's progression.

On the train home from Waterloo I was nudged by a ticket inspector who found my ticket outbound curious as the train was heading back to central London.  What felt like a blink actually was a lengthy slumber on the train, missing my stop twice going both ways.  An indicator of a great night, no?

Watch out for our Outlook Festival review, coming soon!

Klose One - Late Summer Nights



KLOSE ONE has just done a tasty new mix floating between the newly coined Warehouse, House, and Moombahton.  As always with Klose, this is a scorcher and there's some serious blending here from a master of the craft.  Him and Rattus are some of the best DJs out there.  Big up yous.

Trim - Notice Now (T Vicious remix)


Here we've got a great future bass/garage track with Trim's one-of-a-kind flow on top.  The result?  An absolute RIDDIM.

 Trim - Notice Now (T Vicious Remix) by T Vicious

T VICIOUS is part of a new school of young producers and DJs making filthy tear-out Dubstep.  I like the odd bit of filth here and there, but as a whole, it's not really my bag.
What's currently setting T-Vicious apart from the rest is his adventurousness in breaking out of the pidgeon hole and experimenting with different genres and soundscapes.  If you're a new producer reading this, diversifying your sound will seriously help your career in many overt and subtle ways.  DO WELL.

I played this tune during my set at Outlook Festival.  Watch for it.

Melé >> Starlight EP


MELÉ releases his new EP tomorrow and it's an absolute bloody stormer.  Not bending to anyone's will, MelĂ© somehow manages to tap into frequencies that slaps your ears into demanding your full attention.  Classy stuff.

  He's only 19 which makes me want to cry and wring my hands at my wasted youth of video games, weed, internet sleuthing and porn...


... In hindsight, not much has actually changed.  =(

Pharrell >> Tokyo Rising


Palladium Boots smash it with the documentaries, having previously done features on UK's pirate radio scene and Detroit's burgeoning creative scene.

This time they've got Pharrell travelling to Tokyo, Japan to look at the aftermath of 3/11 - when the Tsunami hit and Japan risked nuclear meltdown.

Viers - Spasm

 Viers - Spasm by VIERS

This is Viers' new track, fresh from his hard drive.  He's not sure if he's entirely happy with it, so tell him your thoughts.  I think it's dope.  It's set for release on Waaga Records later this year (or maybe next year).
