Jay-Z vs Samiyam - PSA

Wednesday, August 31 at 9:00pm - September 1 at 2:00am

Zen Nightclub
17 Albert St
Auckland, New Zealand

CLOCKED promotions and FuZen are proud to present….

SAMIYAM (LA) (Brainfeeder/Hyperdub/Poo-Bah)

Yes only a month or so after the release of his sophomore album “Sam Baker’s Album", we’ve got him here direct from LA LIVE…

For the uninformed, Samiyam is an instrumental hip hop producer that has made huge waves worldwide with his unique sound. He has been pivotal in popularizing the particular soundscape also famously dominated by the likes of Clams Casino, Gas Lamp Killer, Nosaj Thing and Flying Lotus (who Sam also produces with, as FLYamSAM).

His last visit here saw him play live off MPC's/Samplers to a full capacity show at Cassette, wowing everyone in attendance. His energetic set consisted of old school hip hop, heavier dubby beats, glitchy synth heavy rhythms and funk/soul/RnB elements. He also brought with him a whole swag of unreleased collabs/remixes/mash ups featuring the likes of Fly Lo, DJ Premier, Big Noyd, Blu, Jay-Z, Alchemist, Radiohead, Exile, Lil Wayne, Shlohmo and more.

Local support from SCRATCH 22, BEN JAMIN (live), FINDERS KEEPER, JOHNNY SABLE, MOPPY & MAD WORLD.

This is one of your last chances to embrace the quality hip hop/atmosphere Zen provides since it’s closing- SO BE THERE. Also as it’s midweek, Samiyam will be on ~12:30, so there’s no excuse for 9-5er’s to miss this. For those wanting to make a night of it (as you should be!) there’s an after party at Third & Social with the amazing LOWQUID headlining.

★ BIG WEDNESDAY @ ZEN

Zen
17 Albert Street
Auckland, New Zealand

★ FEBRUARY 9TH
NDA (Wellington)
With support: Steve Durez, Mitch Lowe, Disko Stu & Sam Raines

NDA is very difficult to pigeon hole, if you ask him what his style is he would probably tell you, "It's upfront big room house, remixed anthems, electro, some beepy stuff with a bunch of live acapellas, loops, mash ups, live remixes and the odd kitchen sink."
You could also say he plays "big room, main floor destroying, roof raising, upfront, WTF was that track? house music"

NDA's tough, banging sound , A.D.D. energy and unique style is what he’s all about. His rock hard reputation, fresh sets and crazy good times skills (using his mixer and CDJS like a drum kit) have seen him blow up in 09 and gain respect from his DJ peers and fans alike. NDA is one of the best technically skilled DJs in NZ by far and regularly mentors up and coming DJs only too happy to give his time, he’s like mother Theresa!

Quality music, quality drinks and an awesome bunch of people makes Zen the best place to be on a Wednesday.

This event is run in conjunction with WAX'D in Fu! No where else can you get such amazing acts and drink specials on a Wednesday!

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.
