Public Enemy (USA) 'Fear of a Black Planet Tour' Backstage

Public Enemy - Fight the Power

Public Enemy are coming to New Zealand in January 2011 to perform their seminal “Fear of A Black Planet” album on its 20th anniversary.

PUBLIC ENEMY ‘FEAR OF A BLACK PLANET’ TOUR

Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Professor Griff, DJ Lord, the S1W1s and a SUPER NASTY FUNK BAND will play the entire album and Public Enemy classics at two exclusive NZ shows in Christchurch and Auckland.

Shut ‘Em Down Live at Auckland Town Hall Video @ http://bit.ly/fhv9fB

Freestyle & Flava Flav Drum Solo Live at Auckland Town Hall Video @ http://bit.ly/hSWVCr

Can't Do Nuttin' For Ya Man Live at Auckland Town Hall Video @ http://bit.ly/iaxdqR

Public Enemy will clearly demonstrate on multiple levels exactly why they are the most important group in the history of hip hop.

Exploding out of Long Island, New York in the early 1980s, their firebrand lyrical assault, the Bomb Squad’s innovative production techniques, and their unmistakable live performances give them a formidable reputation. They terrify the establishment, and have continued to blaze a trail over a twenty year period up until the present day.

Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Public Enemy 44th on its list of "The Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, and today they are more autonomous and as determined as ever, with no signs of slowing down.

Few hip-hop albums had the impact of Public Enemy’s 1990 Top 10 smash “Fear of a Black Planet.” It struck a chord with black and white alike, city dwellers and suburbanites, while spawning No. 1 singles that illustrated the yin and yang of the group . Flavor Flav’s humour and Chuck D’s rabble-rousing political consciousness is all done in the best tradition of black funk music.

Public Enemy will deliver more than hype and perform two limited capacity shows in New Zealand.

The Smashing Pumpkins - Rhinoceros

Hi all,

A couple of hours ago, I was fortunate enough to obtain a SMC Pentax-A 1:1.7 50mm lens, that was part of a bundle of three vintage lenses I purchased for $85 (NZD). Yeah! I know! A bargain in anyone’s book!

While I haven’t had a chance to give it a full workout yet, above are a few tests I just conducted on it. It’s definitely a keeper! :)

Kind regards

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

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."

REPRESENTING:

SWAMP81 / TEMPA / FACT MAGAZINE / WHEEL & DEAL / TRANSISTOR

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.

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

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.
