Shot Of The Day – Survival (UK) @ Zen

 Survival aka Steve Kielty backstage at Zen.

Time    Yesterday at 10:00pm - Today at 6:00am

Location    Zen - 17 Albert st Auckland

This July will see the long awaited arrival of Survival to our shores to showcase his unique flavour of Drum and Bass direct from the U.K. Accompanying him will be the Kiwi artist now based in Melbourne known as Consequence. 2009 saw both Survival and Consequence release their debut albums on dBridges hugely respected label "Exit Records" which has inspired this combination of the "Survive For Never" tour. Both of these albums possess the style and quality that you would expect to be selected and backed by a Drum and Bass Don such as dBridge and you can be assured that this will be a DnB night with a special difference.

Saturday 24th of July @ Zen 17 Albert st
Also featuring CERN with support from Hakomi and Shift
Boosted low end in the venue for the night

$25 (incl b/f) pre sales are available from Cosmic Corner & Real Groovy

SURVIVAL

Audio Tactics / Exit / DNAudio / Quarantine

Surfacing under the guises of Akustic Research and Banaczech on Vinyl Addiction and Partisan Recordings in 1995, Steve Kielty parted company with co-conspirator Roy McCabe and after a long break from drum & bass re-emerged as Survival in 2005.
With a plethora of well received releases on labels including Creative Source, DNAudio, Quarantine, Critical, Shogun Audio as well as his debut self titled album released on Exit Records in 2009 show that Survival’s deep, organic sound has rapidly earned him a reputation as one of the true craftsmen of modern Drum & Bass.
Collaborations with D-Bridge, Break, Silent Witness, Fierce, Sabre, Chris Inperspective and Zero Tolerance clearly illustrate the respect he commands from his peers and with his newly launched Audio Tactics label providing a focused outlet for his productions his fan base is expanding as rapidly as his discography.

Shots Of The Day - Cause 4 Concern (UK) @ Zen Set #2

CAUSE 4 CONCERN: http://www.myspace.com/cause4concerndnb

That every cause has an effect is common knowledge. For Optiv, Stuart, Toby and Mark, the cause is drum & bass, and their effect is both indelible and undeniable. Known collectively as Cause 4 Concern, the crew came together back at the start of 1999, when Optiv was affiliated with Aspect Records, and Stuart and Mark were working for Vinyl Distribution.
A testament to their talent, it took only a few short months of collaborative creation before they scored their first signing – and not just to any old label –
but the massive and seminal MOVING SHADOW. At the time they were known as nCode, but by July they had become Cause 4 Concern and started their own imprint label. The first 12” dropped that December, and secured the support of DJs Doc Scott, Fierce and Grooverider, amongst many others.
Releases on respected labels Tru Playaz, Renegade Hardware, Moving Shadow and Timeless Recordings were to follow.
Promoter’s right across the planet couldn’t help but pay attention, and consequently there aren’t many places C4C haven’t performed.

VICE (Dub Militia):
Holding it down on the 1s and 2s Vice has a biased towards darker beats but switches between styles constantly playing a full spectrum of DnB and dubstep laying down seamless sets of both. One of the DUB MILITIA Co-Founders Vice is a resident at all of our events playing support for DJ Kutz, Pinch, HavocNdeeD, Jason Howson also playing at a lot of local events 2010 is set to see Vice supporting more internationals, playing more events and sharing his tune selection with crowds New Zealand wide.

MYRRHMA (Dub Militia):
Originally hailing from Wellington Myrrhma plays big tunes mixing them effortlessly smashing dance floors at any event that is fortunate enough to host him. Representing Dub Militia on the wheels of steel myrrhma is doing big things in 2010, catch him at a club near you!

ECHO COMPANY:
Echo Company are a 3 man crew currently calling Auckland home. They have all been djing separately for over 3 years and have supported many international and local acts such as Datsik, Shock One, The Upbeats, Noah D, Foreign Beggars and Trolley Snatcha to name a few. Their music is energetic, mind-blowing and undeniably rising in the Dubstep music scene. They all bring different assets to the group which gives a unique twist to their beats.

EVADE:
Eva Vemich aka Evade is gearing up for a big future in the worldwide drum and bass scene. Her undeniable passion for vinyl runs deep and she is constantly on the move, recruiting fellow vinyl heads and crowds to the wonderful world and sound of wax. Her zest and energy are infectious for all those who bare witness to her bass heavy, rolling tech sets.

In just 2 years Eva has become a regular DJ at Fu bar, featuring in gigs such as Fu 10th Birthday, Fuse, Rise and Wednesday vinyl only Wax’d. She has supported some of NZ’s very best such as Trei, Dose, and Agent Alvin, as well as supporting Teknik and Bulletproof on behalf of the Cyanide recordings 9th birthday bash.

Eva can regularly be heard at various underground events and radio shows such as Boosh Fm and UpFm.

Eva’s talent, love and intricate understanding for drum and bass has prompted a solid future for her, she is also on the move towards production so keep a close eye.

INTERCEPT:
Intercept is a new comer to the club scene but by no means new to DnB. He made his club debut @ Dub Militias club event ORIENTATION DUBSTEP impressing the organisers with his good track selection and decent mixing skills. Constantly improving Intercept will be a feature at a lot events in 2010 so keep your eyes open Auckland!

DOSAGE:
A relatively new comer to the scene Dosage AKA Ben Davies has come runner up in the Menu Mag DJ competition, played support for Antiform and has been fortunate enough to have a set at Dub Militias event for local up and coming producers/DJs tearing up 4:20 Bar with a set full of hard hitting tunes accompanied by his unique style of mixing. Also a name to look out for in 2010
Dosage will show Auckland what he can do and how he intends to do it.

Bag Raiders Bio:

Sydney dance floor princes Chris Brave and Jack Sabboth are fast becoming cosmic superstars.

Here's why...

1.Their 'Shooting Stars' single has been dominating dance floors worldwide and shooting them to stardom. So far they've racked up millions of MySpace plays, millions of YouTube views and they've toured in all the world's hot spots.

2.In 2009 they pioneered a new live show “Bag to the Future,” playing to tens of thousands of ecstatic fans at the opening of Sydney Festival, Parklife, Shore Thing, and another dozen odd festivals.

3.In 2008 the title track of their 2nd EP 'Turbo Love' became one of the most played songs on Australia's well reputed Triple J.

4.Back in 2007 the lead single of their 1st EP 'Fun Punch' turned into a cult phenomenon, gaining YouTube notoriety, and hitting best of 2007 compilations galore.

5.Bag Raiders remixes include... Sneaky Sound System, Kid Sister, Midnight Juggernauts, Kim, Muscle, ZZZ, The Lost Valentinos, Cut Copy, Super Mal, Headman and Galvatrons.

They're currently working on their highly anticipated 1st full length album shelved for release later this year. Catch them before they go extraterrestrial, Saturday the 29th at Cassette Number Nine!

Shots Of The Day – Yolanda Be Cool (AUS) @ Be Club

Hi all,

Here are my best shots from the Australian DJ duo, Yolanda Be Cool, gig which was held at Be Club last Friday night.

Kind regards

Bakehaus & Torque bring you for their first NZ appearance, the boys with all the hype right now..

If there is one act blowing up right now down under, it is without a doubt the YBC boys, their blend of tropicana tech, hip house, ballsy balkan beats, has earned them kudos the world over, last month topping beatport for the number one spot on the charts!

From last years ace 'Afro Nuts' to their current club smash hit 'We Speak No Americano' , to their more underground material such as 'Holy Cow' and 'Villalobos for Presidente' everything YBC touch is glittering like gold - so join us for a night of frivolity as they hit NZ before they trek off to on their European summer tour, we await their beats on the Be system with baited breath!
