While 2007 saw the release of both their Happy Birthday full-length and Boogy Bytes Vol.3 mix, Berlin duo Modeselektor has been relatively quiet in 2008. Well, that's about to change, as the pair is planning to take their distinct brand of noisy, chopped-up techno on the road as part of the Jetlag Tour 2008 with Ellen Allien.
With multiple stops scheduled on both sides of the Atlantic, the Jetlag Tour is bound to live up to its name for the artists involved. Questions of sleep deprivation aside, the boys are clearly amped about this tour, as they dropped this exclusive mix into our laps for the XLR8R podcast. Running the gamut from dubstep and bassline to French house and kwaito, this podcast shows that Modeselektor will be bringing some serious heat to the Jetlag Tour this September.

In celebration of Rinse's upcoming 14th Birthday, they have been airing classic sets from the station's archives to commemorate the event. This week, we've got sets from Pay As U Go cartel as well as a classic jungle DJ set from none other than Dizzee Rascal in 2000. Happy Birthday Rinse!!! Pay As U Go Cartel Xmas Day Special.
Here is a classic Grime set with none other than the Pay As U Go cartel, who will be reuniting at Rinse's upcoming 14th Birthday Bash. The show was originally aired on Rinse.fm with DJs Target & Geeneus on the decks, along with a slew of MCs from PAUG.
next up, we have Dizzee Rascal's audition tape to become a DJ on Rinse.fm from way back in 2000. Dizzee throws down a set of jungle on the wheels, with MCs Stormin, Armour, and Adar dropping bars.
Ramadanman's superb Hessle Audio label has shown a hunger for variety and experimentation which have quickly placed it among the most forward-thinking sources for fresh dubstep material. This contribution to the Dub War Podcast series showcases the sort of minimalism and rhythmic inventiveness that have given Ramadanman a voice in defining the shape of dubstep as it continues to push forward into unexplored territory. Hints of techno, house and ambient are merely the tips of the iceberg hinting at what lies beneath. Freshness!

Their friendship formed over a mutual love for a Stevie Wonder tune, and Dusk + Blackdown have been DJing and producing music together ever since, rolling out the dubstep and grime beats and generally causing havoc on the dancefloor. Based in London, they also run Keysound Recordings and capture the dark environment of their city through their music. "Of those making dark beats in London, the only single factor that united everyone was their London surroundings," says Blackdown.
Thus, for this installment of the XLR8R Podcast, the boys prepped a very special exclusive mix that distinctly calls to mind the urban landscape of their hometown. Even better, most of the tracks on this hour-long mix are unreleased cuts that won’t see the record store shelves for some time. Two-step, grime, dubstep, and more come courtesy of Skream, Wiley, Zomby, Al-Haca, and others. If it's rapid-fire lyrics, menacing basslines, and anxious, wobbly rhythms you're looking for, hit download now.
This month, Martin discusses JME's debut album as well as dubstep producer LD and Transition Mastering Studios. Here is an excerpt; you can find the full article text HERE
Words by Martin Clarke for Pitchfork.
"Earlier this month, JME's debut album Famous? quietly appeared in shops. No promotion, no lead single for mainstream radio airplay, no PR or magazine interviews: It was just out, and not simply in grime specialists like UKrecordshop.com or Avalanchemusichut.com, but high street stores and iTunes-- the very places grime has been historically absent from. JME is pretty confident his MySpace is the key to his success, a way, without marketing spending, for him to generate a sizeable fanbase.
What helps JME immensely is the strength and depth of his debut album. Grime, in essence, is raw street music, aggressive east London MCs documenting lives spent in conflict with their peers. The problem is that the further grime went away from UK garage-- emphasizing lyrical "war" and stripped-back halfstep beats that had more in common with hip-hop than 2step-- the more it now seems it alienated certain parts of its grass roots, clubgoing community. The scene also alienated commercial radio, either by not working effectively with industry pluggers or by being too aggressive for conservative playlist-makers.
This year has seen several interesting responses to these two problems, i.e. lack of dancefloor momentum and hyper aggression levels, which challenge how grime can evolve and yet retain its identity and audience. First there was funky, the house hybrid that's developing in east London clubs and in turn igniting the blogosphere (here, here and here), that despite starting warm, is quickly developing an MC-hosted, younger, grimier side, just as UK garage did."

"With the blogosphere alight with talk about London's funky, a genre given life because of grime's lack of danceability, dubstep is beginning to re-balance how it too, post the halfstep bass drop and wobble metal mosh, can groove again. If there's one track that captures the percussion zeitgeist in dubstep summer 2008, it's LD v Kode9's "Bad". At first, from experience, it can seem a little underwhelming. But through repeated exposure, most notably via Kode's sets, its compressed congas and sour disco samples begin to get under your skin. When they get under your feet too, suddenly you're dancing.
The influence of dark house persists in dubstep, from Mala to Quest & Silkie. But what links "Bad" with several of the most interesting experiments in percussive dubstep right now is one man in particular: LD. A lot of very influential DJs in dubstep rely heavily on LD, and not just for his productions. By day he's the dubplate cutting engineer at south London's Transition studios, producing one-off 10" or 12" acetates for DJs to arm their sets with. It's old technology but still deadly effective in the dance.
LD began producing at school, where pupils were taught how to use Cubase. After college he began experimenting, making most jungle/drum'n'bass. But it was when he got himself a job as a runner at Transition studios that he both began training as a mastering engineer and also got introduced to dubstep.
If you own a dubstep record, chances are you'll have appreciated Transition's work. Most of the influential labels master their 12" vinyl there, from DMZ to Hyperdub. In fact it's often said Transition were highly influential in guiding the early productions of many of the scene's heavy hitters, providing sonic insight and positive recommendations to improve many a beat-maker's sound. So it's perhaps little surprise that their cutting engineer is coming good."
Shambhala is everything that a music festival should be. So much so, that you begin to convince yourself that there is no possible way this could actually be happening. Unlike any other music festival I have ever been to, it got exponentially better with each passing second and just when you thought a moment couldn't get any more perfect, an even better beat would drop or there would be an occurrence that would bring your jaw to the ground the very next minute.
There is something about the energy felt on that farm during this weekend that will never be able to be explained with words or captured in pictures. There is a connection made between the audience themselves as well as a symbiotic relationship between the audience, promoters, and artists that makes for one of the most unique concert experiences in the world.
We began our travels in Seattle, recovering from Skream at Nectar and getting on the road heading Spokane bound. As the bland scenery passed by, beats were bumping, and the pre-show butterflies had already started churning. We headed north to BC and crossed the border in one of the speediest crossings I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of. The border patrolman was also kind enough to remind us that if we gave him all the drugs in our car now, that we would only have them confiscated but would be able to proceed into Canada with no trouble. What a nice gesture. : )
We proceeded into BC and eventually found ourselves on the side of the road in line waiting to get into the site. After an hour wait, and a 5km drive on a rocky path through the woods to get there, we finally set up camp late Thursday night and decided to head down to the Rock Pit. There we caught the end of Atomic Hooligan as well as DJ Kev's set with MC/Beatboxer Shamik. The opening night ended up turning out a bunch of electro, with Shamik dazzling the crowd with impressive beatboxing and beatmatching skills with DJ Kev.
Friday started off by heading down at noon to the Living Room stage, an awesome set-up on the beach complete with a refreshing 10-ft wide stream to raft down or cool off in. The duo of Luscious Beats started the day off right with some tropical sounds, blending beats and live percussion on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Next up on the beach, things got a little bit filthier with the duo of Subvert and Excision throwing down an afternoon dubstep session. Excision tore the place apart with an OSC- 'Rockers Delight' mashup, as well as dropping 12th Planet & Emu's massive new chune 'Control.' We headed down to the beach again around 10pm to catch eDit performing his album "Crying Over Pros For No Reason" in its entirely, using a Rhodes organ and Ableton Live. Staring out onto the woods from the beach after his set, you could begin to see lightning starting to outline the clouds in the sky, as people began cheering with every flash.
We then made our way over to the minimal tech-house sounds of Seattle's own Lawnchair Generals at the Village stage, who provided easily one of the highlights of the weekend. As the storm drew closer, thunder began to blast along to the basslines being felt on pK's 90,000 watt system and a necessary rain began to fall on the audience who all erupted at the continuous crashes of thunder. At one point, the projection screens and lights were completely turned off on the stage, as the lightning above became the eye candy.
After the Lawnchair set, we checked out NYC's own The Rub performing in the Fractal Forest, a pyramid DJ booth in the middle of a circle of woods, complete with lasers and 8 projection screens hung from the treeline outlining the stage. I was a little let down by their set, but they were definitely playing to the crowd and keeping their set to more of a rave atmosphere than the hip hop I'm generally used to hearing from them. After the Rub, Ana Sia threw down one of the more impressive sets of the weekend, playing long after her alloted slot was over down at the beach stage. As we headed back up from the beach at around 4:30am, we heard the beginning dialogue of Caspa's remix of TC's "Where's My Money" and had to run over to the Pagoda to see who was spinning. Lo and behold it was B. Traits, a 21 year old DJ from BC who threw down some of the hardest beats felt all weekend, as her blends of Drum N Bass and Dubstep kept the Pagoda stage partying until 7am.
The Hip Hop showcase early Saturday afternoon in the Village got the crowd rocking with an impressive showing of turntablism, as well as a breakdance battle set up in the middle of the dancefloor. Saturday night, the Village was yet again the place to be, with DJ Nu-Mark, Ed Rush & Optical, and Evol Intent headlining a solid 5 hour block of mind-bending music. Evol Intent decimated the Village with some of the hardest Drum N Bass I've ever heard. As daylight began to break over the hills, we ventured back down to the beach to catch Bassnectar's dawn-sunrise set which consisted of more downtempo music than I am used to hearing from him; a welcome surprise after 4 hours of chest rattling DnB. Music blared until 10am as Saturday night eventually blended into Sunday afternoon.
After taking most of the day to recover and prepare for Sunday night, it was time to head down to the Village and enjoy one last night of fun in paradise. We arrived to the sounds of Excision ending his set, playing a recent release off of Rottun Recordings. You can find Excision's full set available for download HERE. Next up on the decks was Subvert, the man behind the 90,000 watt system, who played a set of glitchy dubstep and hip hop. As his set winded down, Skream started getting his dubs ready as we all knew we were all in for a wild ride. I don't know if I will ever experience or feel music like that ever again, body completely submerged and swimming in basswaves under the stars.
Skream started his set off with a nice disco tune to tune up, and then began to drop the business. Playing out his own tune 'Lemon', J@kes & Joker- '3kLane', Rusko- 'Soundguy Is My Target', Kulture- 'Steppin' Outta Babylon', as well as the tune of the summer right now, Chase & Status'- 'Eastern Jam', Skream pushed that soundsystem to the absolute limits. An impressive, but far too short of a set, Skream encored with his remix of Rusko's 'Jahova' and then gave up the stage to Bassnectar as we headed down to see A. Skillz in the Fractal Forest. Some of the freshest music I've heard in a while, A. Skills threw down some impressive remixes, most notably the remix of Dizzee Rascal's track 'Flex'. B. Traits then put on a clinic yet again this time at the Rock Pit, throwing down Drum N Bass, Dancehall, Reggae, and a solid 30 minute block of dubstep tracks from the likes of Rusko, Coki, Caspa, and Chase & Status.
All 4 members of the Glitch Mob then took over the Village stage, a highlight of which was their remix of Weezy's 'Lollipop' which actually made the song tolerable. After Glitch Mob it was then off to the bassline sounds of Trouble & Bass' Drop The Lime, who threw down some incredible tracks as well as his bassline remix of Rusko's 'Cockney Thug.' Ill Gates took everyone to the break of dawn in the Fractal Forest, playing a massive 3 hour set that was a perfect end to Shambhala.
As long an entry as this was, I still feel like it will never do the event and experience any justice at all. What I can say, is that if you have any love for electronic music, partying, good people, and British Columbia; do yourself a favor and check out this festival because it is without a doubt one of the best parties in the world.
