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.

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.

Dropped 2nd Birthday w/PeaceTreaty (USA) @ Ink/Coherent

PeaceTreaty - Gotta Dance Dirty Summer Mix

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!

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.

Dropped w/ Northie (AU) @ InkCoherent Set #1

Northie - The Return to NZ Mini Mix 2010

Time    July 31 at 10:00pm - August 1 at 7:30am

Location    Ink and Coherent

Created By    DROPPED

$10 all night for two clubs, one international, Wellington's hottest DJ + live MC combo along with a quality local lineup. And the karaoke room. Ahhhh, the karaoke room.

We've got a double decker party bus rocking up at 11pm from out West (happy birthday Travis), the Whangarei, Hamilton and the Wellington mules coming down/up/up.. not to mention all you lovely locals.

Northie (Oz)
Some of you may have come to his first gig in Auckland late last year. If you missed out rest assured it was a doozy, you can check some video footage of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G455tXjleFI&#t=3m39s - he brings a fair amount of energy and involvement to his sets.

He has been a busy lad since then and is now working on a couple of different music projects. I better check I've got this right but basically his club alias is going to become NXE very soon and he is going to keep Northie for his Powerpop/Electro cross-over stuff. Which is doing pretty fucking well, it was in the iTunes top 20 dance albums, received major radio attention in Australia and had a sold out launch show. It might not be your cup of tea but check it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHpA45DylXM

But that is besides the point as he will be doing a good 'ole fashioned NXE club set for us. To get a taste of what you'll be hearing on the night check out this exclusive Auckland mix - http://soundcloud.com/nxe/northie-nxe-the-return-to-nz-mini-mix-2010 - all made up of his own NXE stuff. Big labels, big names, big releases all coming soon - NZ will be the first to hear the NXE madness.

Whatever way you look at it, the dude has some pretty mad talent. Its a breath of fresh air. Its good. Without artists like this music wouldn't evolve. Not to mention his great head of hair.

MC Ghost (UK) and Rollout from the Brutal Bunch.
These guys have been KILLING it in Wellington recently and this will be their first appearance in Auckland. Bring on something new I say. To be honest I've never actually met either of them or even seen them play but word has been spreading and they look like they know how to party: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Cctxu4J6Ao

MC Ghost was born and raised in Doncaster, England and has since moved to Wellington where he is notorious for his off the cuff aggressive freestyles and explosive crowd hyping. Sounds good to me! Rollout on the other hand is one of Wellingtons fully fledged originator DJs at the helm of the Electro/Dubstep community. He is also the current Wellington Club DJ Spinoff champion with a couple of residencies in Wellington.

Dan Aux, Grant Marshall, Joe B vs Corey K - all well known George DJs, we all know and love them.

Jono Peters: 2010 has been the year of Jono, being named by Greg Churchill as New Zealand's best up and coming DJ. Jono is known for his filthy, disgusting, sick, disturbed sound. Look out for his name from now on.

B-Rad, James Watson and Ezra Park: Good friends of mine who have been itching to play at a good party like this for a while. They are ready and they will be bringing their A-game.

I don't see the point in waiting until a day or two before the gig to announce set times so here they are:

Coherent:
1130-0100 Dan Aux
0100-0300 NORTHIE
0300-0430 MC Ghost and Rollout
0430-0600 B-Rad

Ink: (to open first)
1000-1200 James Watson vs Ezra Park
1200-0200 Grant Marshall
0200-0400 Joe Butler vs Corey K
0400-0600 Jono Peters

If you have a cracking good time there will be some free A3 gig posters available for you to get signed by Northie after he has finished playing for your wall at home or whatever.

DROPPED.
