Bass Kleph (AU) @ FuZen/Dropped Xmas Party

Bass Kleph - DJ Mix

A DROPPED party the last weekend before Christmas at the biggest club in New Zealand with one of Australia's best DJs and free entry if you're dressed as Santa.

Shit.

DROPPED went slightly overboard this year so join us as we kick 2010 in the cunt and wave hello to 2011!

What could be better than seeing a mob of wasted Santa's with a few Mrs. Claus' in tow? Bugger all, which is why if dressed in costume you will be allowed in for free before midnight. The door is capped at $10 the whole night for everyone else. Cheap. Go.

as for the man himself..

Since selling out Be seven months ago Bass Kleph has been crowned with having the highest selling dance song of 2010 with his remix of Shakedown. Out of like, the entire world. He has been busy touring the UK and USA, even popping in for a show in Kazakhstan where he ate horse. But most excitingly, he has added a drum machine to his set.

THE TURNAROUND
(Manuel Bundy, Cian, Submariner)

"Vincent Mason is known all over the world for his role as DJ Maseo of the legendary Hip Hop group, De La Soul and his electrifying skills as a DJ. No one could have predicted that Maseo’s natural ability and immense talents on the turntable would enable him to travel the world and become a Hip Hop phenomenon.

Born and raised In Brooklyn, New York, Maseo’s interest in music emerged at the young age of six as he observed a family friend practicing on his DJ equipment. Maseo’s ambitious journey to stardom officially began when his mother gave him his very own set of turntables. Destined for success, Maseo dedicated all of his free time to mastering his craft by observing neighborhood DJs. Maseo made his first debut as a DJ, at the age of twelve. By the time Maseo reached high school his DJ skills were immeasurable.

During high school Maseo’s life would be forever changed as he and two of his high-school friends, Kelvin Mercer and David Jolicouer, formed one of the most highly respected and critically acclaimed rap groups, De La Soul. In 1989, the trio released their first album, 3 Feet High and Rising. De La Soul was an instant success and the album was certified platinum. Since their initial release, De La Soul has continued to play a prominent role in the music industry releasing six additional albums: De La Soul is Dead, Buhloone State of Mind, Stakes is High, AOI: Mosaic Thump and AOI: Bionix. During the course of their long-standing career, De La Soul have received Soul Train, MTV and Grammy award nominations. In addition to the many accolades they have received, De La Soul has been featured on numerous soundtracks including: Men in Black, Judgment Night and Dexter’s Lab"

Tiki Taane (NZ) Summer Time Video Shoot @ Piha

Hi all,

I had the pleasure of being involved in a video shoot, for a new Tiki Taane release, last Sunday over at Piha. And, above are a few shots I fired off very casually during the day.

Regarding the new release, which is due out very soon I hear, some of my photography may feature in the CD booklet. I’ll let you know as soon as I find out!

Kind regards

First Pentax K-r Red Test Shots

IMGP7934

IMGP7967_7

Hi all,

As some of you may already know, I ordered a new camera last week, and this morning it arrived.

After very thorough research, I decided on a Pentax K-r Red, with an 18 – 55 mm lens, as it represented the best value for money, and it’s stylish as hell – like me! ;)

I could have gone with the ubiquitous Canon’s and Nikon’s, that every other photographer around town seems to be lugging. However, those cameras just don’t excite me at all, and for the price range I was looking at, don’t offer the quality and value of the Pentax.

Above are a couple test shots I just fired off. They’re nothing special, just my usual post-processing tricks, and are from an untuned, as of yet, camera.

Give me a moment or two to wrap my head around the new camera, and I can promise you some of my wildest photography ever!

Kind regards

ULTRA BASS

A new dubstep monthly party, right here in the nations capital!!!

On Wednesday, November 10 we are bringing you the first of many to come, featuring:

UK heavyweight; N-TYPE

"People once said that dubstep was too slow, dark and sparse to translate to worldwide dancefloors. Of course that was before the acetate addicted and overall sub-sonic miscreant N-Type showed up to prove the doubters so, so wrong. Combining searing white-hot selection with a 30 dubs-per-hour freestyle mix rate, N-Type’s DJing style takes many cues from legendary garage don EZ, yet it is N-Type’s hyperactivity in the mix which really marks him out from the rest. Where other DJs maintain their traditional surly personae, N-type can be found raving it up in the booth, bobbing with the crowd, and sporting a shower-face of almost comic proportions.

Listening to his show on Rinse (every Sunday 11pm-1am GMT) you can’t help but smile too. N Type’s chatterbox delivery is almost as relentless as his selection and he’s just as likely to tell you what he had for dinner as he is to tell you the name of the current dub he’s playing, but it all adds to the charm. Ultimately, it is this unmatched level of infectious enthusiasm that has earned N-type the twin titles of ‘Best DJ’ and ‘Best Radio Show’ on the dubstepforum awards, a coveted FWD>> residency and following that his mixing of the latest instalment in the Dubstep Allstars series."

Addison Groove is, in fact, an alias of Headhunter, a Dubstep mainstay who’s released a multitude of singles for Tempa as well as an album for the label, Nomad. He’s been playing Chicago juke in his DJ sets for a while now, and his work as Addison Groove is where that influence is allowed to come to the forefront, with stripped down drum machine beats, acid basslines and hip-hop / booty-leaning vocals.

His FACT mix starts off in the 120-130bpm range and finishes at about 160, taking in Detroit Grand Pubahs, Mosca, Ramadanman, Rashad, DJ Spinn and Leatherface along the way. There’s also plenty of unreleased Addison Groove tracks, including ‘Footcrab VIP’.

Sage Francis (US) @ Galatos

B.Dolan & Sage Francis - Heart Failure

Sage Francis Oct 2010 NZ Tour


Friday, 22 October 2010
at Galatos, 17 Galatos Street, Newton

The reigning agent provocateur of hip hop, Sage Francis, brings his 'Li(f)e Abroad' tour to NZ this October with new material from his electrifying fourth album, Li(f)e.

Sage Francis has never been afraid to provoke. As a result he is a sometimes polarizing, increasingly important figure in modern music. Adored by many, reviled by a few but never ignored and always essential, he has developed into a fearless social critic.

Like so many great songwriters before, he uses his gifted wordplay for a much greater good, creating vivid narratives and heartfelt confessionals which both instigate and inspire. With his new album, Li(f)e, he has delivered a masterfully original work. The record features notable French composer Yann Tierson, along with musicians from bands such as Califone, Sparklehorse, Calexico, Grandaddy, Death Cab for Cutie and Buck 65.

Joining Sage Francis for all shows will be his Strange Famous Records label mate, B. Dolan. This will be Dolan’s first venture to NZ, where he will not only play main support but will also collaborate with Sage on several songs throughout the evening

Jakes is many things to many people, to some he is the voice of TC’s smash hits ‘Deep’, ‘Drink’ and ‘Mindkiller’, to others he is the Daddy of Bristolian Dubstep crew H.E.N.C.H and to musical historians he is one of the most interesting vocalists that underground British music can lay claim to. Never afraid to break from tradition and roll with his own flow, Jakes’ voice has become one of the most recognisable in the game and his energetic live performances see him travelling across the globe and smacking down raves from Bristol to Boston with his inimitable style.

Within a few years, Jakes has gone from being one of the big name MCs of the drum and bass world to now being one of the most talked about Producers in Dubstep. In a very short space of time, the progression towards his now trademark style has been applauded by many – and not limited to the Dubstep scene.

In 2009, the release of The Jakes Project, which included anthems such as 'Rock Tha Bells' and 'Warfac'e, demonstrated Jakes’ ability to straddle genres with his aptness for innovation and style remaining intact. With his own productions receiving widespread support from as wide-ranging DJs from Skream to Crookers to Mary Anne Hobbs to Gaslamp Killer, Jakes has gone on to produce remixes that have topped download charts and he regularly receives extensive radio coverage. With this in mind, it’s no wonder that his label has a host of talented artists releasing their productions through the HENCH imprint.

Dropped w/Will Bailey (UK) & Melvin Rocket (DE)

WILL BAILEY - THE ROCKNROLLA DIRT CHAMBER MINI MIX

Friday, October 8 at 10:00pm - October 9 at 5:30am

Ink/Coherent K’rd

Hot on the heels of playing 'Electric Daisy Carnival' (185,000 people) and 'Burning Man' festivals in the USA AND from taking the mainstage at the Netherlands biggest day festival 'Dance Valley', Will Bailey done come here for one show only!

Dancefloors world-wide have been destroyed by Will's explosive sets which are made up of a mix of grimy electro house and techno touches -- with surprise drops of cross-genre killer tracks thrown in for good measure. Recently made a resident of the world famous 'Gatecrasher' and featuring at other prestigious clubs around the globe such as 'Matter' in London, 'Womb in Tokyo' and 'Privilege' in Ibiza, he basically flies around the world playing his own songs (among others) to massive crowds.

But he reckons Ink 'n Coherent in Auckland will be pretty sweet too.

And it will be, at only $5 before midnight.

But back to Will, what we are trying to tell you is that this dude is a world class DJ who is always touring around the world playing at the best shit. In his spare time he is a prolific hit maker with over 100(!!!) releases to date including the club banger 'Hit The Club', the old skool hip hop/electro house soundclash ‘Hustlin And Scratchin’ and now his current hit remix 'Crooker's - Arena'. And just between you and me his brand brand new remix about to be released 'Armand Van Helden and Steve Aoki - BRRRAT (Will Bailey Remix)' is amazing. Formerly of the Fidget Juggernaut that was Twocker, Will Bailey, also known by his aliases 'Rudi Stakker' and 'Bass Weazal' has been making an impact on dance charts ever since splitting with Calvertron.

Which was ages ago.

A bunch of guys who call themselves Pete Tong, Armand Van Helden, Wolfgang Gartner, Judge Jules, Kissy Sell Out, Plump DJs, MSTRKRFT, Paul Oakenfold and your mum are only some of the heavyweights that often drop Will Bailey's floor filling tunes.

Will also recently started his own record label, Simma Records. Basically what he does there is release tracks from the likes of Nom De Strip that do really well around the world and are 'must have' tracks for DJs everywhere.

Yep, this is going to be a good party.

------------------------------------------------------

But wait, there's more!

MELVIN ROCKET (DE) is popping in for a set as well.

Fresh from residencies at Germany's biggest and best clubs such as 'Club Del Mar' he can't wait to debut in New Zealand. He heard you guys can party, and with one of the biggest club lineups ever he is probably on the money.

Saints to Sinners w/Antix & Fiord (NZ)

Antix - Miro

Celebrating the inaugural visit to Auckland & New Zealand by Layo & Bushwacka, one of electronic music’s most esteemed duos playing in St Matthews Church, Orgasm Music is born to deliver a truly unique after-party in a similarly unique venue, which has been secured exclusively for the first time to host such an event.

PeaceTreaty (usa, dim mak). dropped SECOND BIRTHDAY!

Saturday, September 25 at 10:00pm - September 26 at 7:00am

Ink/Coherent

There is a long list of people that have helped shape DROPPED over the past couple of years whether it be you the punter, clubs, DJs, friends, randoms, on radio, in print or online and without you all it wouldn't happen. Or it would, but it would suck. So cheer to you all. Rather than have a big long list and run the risk of accidentally leaving someone out though I am going to name but two who have helped way more than they ever had to, and to who I am eternally grateful: Dan Aux and Finz. GC's, both of them.

Bring on the terrible two's!

Local support on the night will be from:

Dan Aux
Angela Fisken
Soane
Sweetmix Kids
Bent Serum
Jono Peters
Shane Aylett
Monkz

PeaceTreaty was created in 2009 by DJ Josh Anaya as a means to start expressing himself musically, rather than just spinning the songs of others. He began making bootleg remixes of artists such as David Guetta, Amanda Blank, Wolfgang Garter and more, and by the end of 2009 he was making originals and official remixes. He got two well-received tracks up on Beatport, an original (“Cheaters”) out through Hot Small Records, and also an official remix of “The Illest” by Oh Shit ft. Messinian.

In early 2010 Josh teamed up with fellow Los Angeles DJ Sam Hiller (Groove Radio) and PeaceTreaty became a duo. Sam has spent the last two years working for DJ legend Swedish Egil and his radio station Groove Radio. He has played clubs, raves, and events of all sorts all over Southern California including gigs at Playhouse, The Heist, The Fox Theaters (Pomona & San Bernardino), Cinespace, Nacional, The Standard (DT), and a residency at Arena. Together, Josh and Sam have made PeaceTreaty into a formidable duo.

Bill Gray’s UPFM 107.5 Interview Photos/w audio

Upfm 107.5 - Fatcat Radio - Bill Gray (Photographer)

Hi peeps!

I was interviewed this afternoon on UPFM 107.5, by Matt Groves and David Lusion, about my photography. I still can’t figure out why anybody would want to talk to me about it as I don’t really see it as anything particularly special. However, they asked and I happily consented to do the interview.

I was nervous as this was my very first time ever doing an interview on national radio. However, Matt and David immediately put me at ease with their fun loving style.

As soon as I get the audio I’ll embed it here for those of you that may have missed my 15 minutes of fame. Please enjoy the interview - I hope I didn't mumble too much - and a few photos I took while I was in UPFM’s studio and office.

Kind regards!

Proud Mary w/Street Chant (NZ) @ 4:20

Scream Walk by Street Chant

Proud Mary w/Street Chant/Cat Venom/MtronBomb/VISTOREY/Tom Tom/Dyson

Friday, September 17 at 9:00pm - September 18 at 12:00am

4:20, 373 K'RD, Newton, Auckland

More Info    Proud Mary is back with her fourth installment presenting Street Chant with Cat Venom, Mtron Bomb, VISTOREY, Tom Tom and Dyson on Friday 17th September, 4:20 K’rd, Auckland.

Street Chant has toured New Zealand with their spiritual antecedents The 3Ds, and were hand-picked to play around Australia with The Dead Weather, while watching every song they released top the b.Net charts.

Street Chant is signed to Arch Hill records - home to their predecessors (The Clean) and their brothers (fellow travellers Surf City, who they’ve shared stages and beers with). Their debut album Means was recorded by legendary producer Bob Frisbee (Shaft, Nothing at All) in 2009, and was released in New Zealand on August 10 ahead of two national tours and a trip to the United States in October.

Cat Venom keep with the punk ideals of old; take something, mess it up, deliver it without caring who cares. In this case, taking the gothic elements (nee: personal loves) of Bauhaus and The Cure but melding it with shades of Robots In Disguise and the devil-may-care attitudes of strong female artists of a bygone age – Lydia Lunch, Exene Cervenka and Siouxie Sioux

Mtron has been a radio and club DJ for years playing alongside some of the finest musical talent from around the globe including Audion, DJ Sega, Yukesk, !!!, Bag Raiders, The Teenagers, Ajax, Villains, Horse Meat Disco, Slap'n'Dash and Ladyhawke.

VISTOREY has been fluttering about the airwaves and local hot spots for the last few years. Just like the urban description, VISTOREY will have you forgo all sleep to spend time with her. Expect girl Pop meets Punk Rock fused together with Italo Disco.

DJ TOM TOM and DYSON are back with the music simply described as perfection. It's Dyson's birthday too so we are making this night extra special.

Proud Mary is a club night for people who enjoy fresh, exciting, pumping tunes. Expect a showcase of some of Australasia's hottest musical talent with people from all walks of life.

Leave your hang ups at the door…Proud Mary’s here for the night.

Virgo

Friday, September 10 at 10:00pm – Saturday, September 11 at 7:00am

Ink/Coherent K'rd

September is the month to celebrate your birthday if you are a Virgo. If you were born a Virgo, you can almost guarantee that you are the product of Christmas or New Years Tom Foolery. Luckily for us, many parents of the top DJs in Auckland were rolling in the hay during the Christmas Holidays.

This year we are celebrating the Virgo birthday party at Ink and Coherent on K'rd in Auckland. Some of Auckland's top talents will be performing on the night. Regardless of if you are a Virgo, this night is not to be missed.

Line Up:

Tokyo Street Gang (DJ Set) - This is a new performance from a New Zealand favorite. Jay Pots from Bulletproof will be performing under his new moniker. If you haven't scoped his newest videos on Myspace, have a look:

http://www.myspace.com/tokyostreetgang

Dick Johnson - He is a dope ass British import who now rules the local scene. He has just started a new label called Neat Recordings, an offshoot of the classic label Paper from the late 90's to mid 2000's. Scope out one of his new tunes below:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/1xaco5

Thomas Sahs - This is my party. You may know me from my house music days with Public Access, my brief stint in a my band Honey Claws, or my obnoxious American accent on BFM's Crunkbox show. Regardless, I will have a batch of extraordinary music to deliver live via the Junkbox 3.0. Check out some of the new stuff I have been working on:

http://t.opsp.in/Hptv

Tim Richards - Tim has a myriad of new productions coming out on labels such as: Grindhouse, Curfew and Deib Audio. He is multi talented on the decks as well. He also played at one of my favorite clubs in San Francisco with my homeboy Sascha from Houston. Scope out his Myspace page for updates on his latest work:

http://www.myspace.com/timrichardsmusic

Dj Philippa - She is perhaps the most prolific female DJ in New Zealand. She is also a hell of a house dj. You can actually learn how to mix from her at MAINZ or by listening to her show on George. Scope out her interview on Biggie.co.nz:

http://www.biggie.co.nz/article/interview_philippa2

Jamie D (Jores) - Originally from South Africa, Jamie is an up and coming talent. He has releases coming out on llegal Cargo Records, Lot 49, Greencote Records, Brain Kat Records, HuHu Music and more to come! Scope out his jams:

http://soundcloud.com/jamie-d-1

Amy B - She just got back from rocking it in Vancouver, one of my favorite cities. Many say it is a lot like Auckland. She now works at George as the events manager and is back on the scene.

Brad Cree - Brad is an old school player who can be found at Mix Foundation on High Street. He can rock the party for shizzle!
