Been listening to this on repeat for the past couple days. Really nice production from a local pal! Nice and smooth. Deep Bass, and beautiful vocal work! Good on the shelf or pon de floor!

Biscope...South African Dubstep

noreply@blogger.com (donna.dada) — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 06:26:00 +0000

This track is one that I heard a while ago by dubstep South African duo Biscope. The vocals by Canadian singer Zaki Ibrahim give it an ethereal feel. Layer that with a 2-step drumbeat and you got summers perfect 'love up' song.

Besides it's the South African world cup, and with everyone getting out their little "Vuvuzelas", I have decided to go the other route, and instead of getting low to the ground...just floating on clouds for a bit.

HRDVSION + BASKETBALL

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Solo) — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 20:08:00 +0000

Fresh off the release of his new and critically acclaimed debut album "Where did you just go?" on Wagon Repair, Nathan Jonson aka HRDVSION stops by Modern Math this Friday to lay down a thick set of original techno and dance floor destroyers.

Originally hailing Victoria, BC...now residing in Berlin...HRDVSION has quickly become a global techno sensation and further pushed Canada onto the international map of dance music in general.

Nathan is the younger brother of Wagon Repair label head Mathew Jonson of Cobblestone Jazz fame...expect the bins to be bumpin with exclusive/original heat when HRDVSION is on the set!

Also on the bill is Vancouver's, Basketball...
Basketball is an energetic four piece driven by live electronics, spirited vocals, and massive percussion that grows into pulsating dance beats. From Tome's vocals in his native tongues, Croatian and English, to the Persian scales, to the gypsy-esque spirit, Basketball exists amongst a history of music played on street corners and at celebrations around the world.

These guys have been killing it in Vancity over the last year...and considered by many to be the best band in Vancouver at the moment.

They are in Calgary for Sled Island this week...and will be throwing a special stripped down electronics only set featuring the productions by band member/Lighta! crew artist/ friend of TheRinseOut Phowa.

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Solo) — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 21:59:00 +0000

Huge party in Vancouver this Saturday at open studios!
I'm excited for a number of reasons...
1. I get to play with my Lighta! comrades on their home turf for the first time.
2. DJG is one of my favorite artists at the moment...and I hear he is an absolute badman on the set.
3. Open studios is where I was first introduced to dubstep about 6 years ago, & its the best venue in Vancouver for this sort of thing.
4. Vancouver is my other home town...and I can't wait to see all the peoples that I've been missing since I was last there...

Along with myself and DJG, repping the Lighta! Crew will be: Taal Mala + Max Ulis (tag team set), Phowa, Calamalka (live P.A. set), & Daega Sound.

Its only 20 bucks at the door...and goes till it ends..brap!

Gas Lamp Killer + Falty DL = ∞

noreply@blogger.com (Mr Geography) — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 15:32:00 +0000

This weekend is gonna be something special! Gaslamp Killer aswell as Falty DL at the same party! I'd say a definate leader in forward moving shows to hit the Calgary bass music scene. Gas Lamp Killer is sure to impress.. I would definately guarantee that he will bring sounds that you've NEVER heard before! Alongside, NY's own Falty DL -TRO long time fav!!*- ... I get really excited for these shows at the HIFI. this kind of thing will blow people's minds!! See ya there.

Check this wan.. first chune he drops is madness for all you bass heads!

Where did the name “The Motherfucking Gaslamp Killer” come from?

"I got my start deejaying in the gaslamp district of san diego. its where all the pretty people like to go to look at each other and get drunk in there button up silk shirts and high heel shoes. they dont go out to listen to music, the music is simply in the backround & “that outfit” or “thats my team” are whats important. So for the first 6 or 7 years of my musical life, i was being ignored / hated on by these fucking good looking jock morons & they're cheerleader girlfriends."

"I remember one of the first gigs i had in the gaslamp district, when the hottest girl in the whole club approached me and told me that i was ruining her night. whats new. reminds me of high school, minus the tiny paycheck i got at the end. i think force feeding the people is how i got my name. i made them all suffer for years & killed them softly i guess. now everything is the same & no one has to worry about their atmosphere being disturbed."

Asked of FaltyDL:

How did you get into making music?

"I was tired of playing bass in a jazz band…it was all very ‘jazz band’ and I needed a little more control. Now I have almost too much control. Theres no regiment anymore. Its nice."

What’s your production set up like? When did you start producing and what was your set up like then compared to now?

"Its been the same since I started pretty much. The center piece being a 6 year old Mac G5 pillared by two massive JBL 4328ps. That’s it really. I mean two Technic 1200’s and a microKontrol help also… But theres lots of vinyl… lots of vinyl…"

Coming from New York, which has its own rich garage history - all be it a very different sound to the UK 2-step garage - how did you become infatuated with the UK sound?

"Infatuated? Not sure if that’s the right word. Obsessed with? Maybe that’s better. Simply, my true love besides my girl friend… is Jungle. Jungle. Jungle. There’s shuffle in Jungle too. I don’t think a lot of kids know that. Maybe they do. But that’s the dark beauty I think about. Remarc is a bigger influence then the Artful Dodger though… haha! Although ‘Rewind’ is a good tune. Actually check Butler Kiev’s remix on Planet-Mu. Amazing… Speak and Spell action."

This Saturday at the HIFI Club... Tickets at Giant45 & online at PrimeBoxOffice

Kode 9 - Fact 156 Mix

noreply@blogger.com (donna.dada) — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 19:37:00 +0000

So there I was in Brixton at the DMZ 4th anniversary party, with my little green gameboy in hand. Happy, but a little "dubstepped out". Kode 9 was up and instead of going with the theme of the night, he laid down an old school jungle set.

Now for all of those who know me, they will know that although the camo jacket might be in storage, I am still a proud member of the Junglist Massive.

You can imagine how my inbox just blew up when Fact magazine released their Kode 9 mix for download, and knowing my love for a dirty old school amen, I had to share. It's only up for three weeks so grab it while it's hot!

Headhunter Comes to Calgary!!

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Solo) — Mon, 31 May 2010 20:13:00 +0000

This spring has been an extra special one for us (event wise) here at TheRinseOut/Modern Math...and this Friday promises to be another one for the books...

Over the last 2 months we have hosted 2 of our all time favorite artists RSD, & Breakage down to our weekly Friday night social...aka Modern Math...both shows were top notch, of course.

This Friday we complete what we have coined the "holy trinity" of guests to our humble stage when we welcome none other than Headhunter aka Addison Groove to the Lord Nelson.

Before I get into Headhunter and this show on Friday...I just want to clarify what we mean by "Holy Trinity"...basically when we started this night...we talked about future guests we hoped to host - these 3 artists topped the list...and when looking back on the sound the night has come to be known for...no 3 artists have had a bigger impact than RSD, Breakage, & Headhunter on our weekly playlists...basically they are our favorite dubstep artists on the planet...and it has/will be our utmost pleasure to have hosted all three this spring/summer 2010.

Headhunter slays...we all know this...every genre he touches whether its traditional dubstep, techno, or more recently juke turns to gold...his production value is right up there with some of the greats...and have landed him remix/collab jobs with some of our other heroes Modeselektor/Moderat amongst others.

This Friday marks Tony's first visit to Calgary...come and show him why Calgary has quickly become a global hotspot for touring bass djs...
Tickets are $15 in advance at Giant 45/Grassroots...more at the door.
Facebook Event.

Here is a tune of his that came out in 2007...I put it on the first dubstep mix I ever did...and its one of those tunes that never gets old for me...

Max Ulis & The Librarian this Friday!

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Solo) — Wed, 12 May 2010 18:58:00 +0000

We are super excited about the lineup this Friday at Modern Math!
Its the first time we welcome one of our best mates around, Max Ulis (Lighta!/Vancouver) to come slay the masses at the Lord Nelson.

We've had just about every other member of the Lighta! Crew roll through- so its about time we bring out the co-founder himself...

Max kills it every time he comes to town...but I get this feeling that this week is gonna be extra special!

Max's productions have been tearing up dance floors for several years now...and we hear his debut album is almost finished...so expect even bigger tings in the coming decade from the man Skream calls, "the handsomest dj in Canada".
Bold statement I know...I think our own Mr Geography gives him a run for his money pon dat.

dl - PJ Harvey - Slow Drug(Max Ulis Remix)

Joining Maximus on the bill is, The Librarian, founder/ head organizer of the west coasts latest and greatest festival, the Basscoast Project, held every July in Squamish, BC.
Basscoast received rave reviews(no pun intended) last year by all accounts we heard...
Some of us here at TRO are attending/performing Basscoast this summer...and we are looking forward to finding out what all the hype is about!

Cover this Friday is $10 before 11pm...and $12 after...see you on the floor!

Fever Ray (Piranha Piranha Remix)

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Solo) — Mon, 10 May 2010 23:46:00 +0000

I just couldn't resist doing a remix of Fever Ray after seeing her/them live at Coachella last month. When we got down to work on it, we decided to make a jump up/dnb remix of it cause we've been playing more jungle tempo tunes lately...and wanted some of our own to rinse.
This is the first time we have ever made drum & bass...and gotta say...we had a lot of fun with it...don't be surprised if we make some more right away...

Warrior One - Bad Like Jimmy Cliff VIP

noreply@blogger.com (donna.dada) — Sat, 08 May 2010 07:11:00 +0000

Warrior one was nice enough to provide for download the VIP remix of "Bad like Jimmy Cliff" with accompanying vocals by funky bashment spear headers Lady Chann, J2K, Rubi Dan, and Serocee. Having a love for the following three components: Ninja Man, Jimmy Cliff, The Harder They Come. I needed to post a re-twist on a song that I can't stop dancing to.

So, when you struttin' down the street thinking to yourself "Me a bad man" just remember this...

...there is someone badder than you, and his name is "Jimmy Cliff"

Shuttle(Ninja Tune) next Wednesday...

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Solo) — Tue, 04 May 2010 17:56:00 +0000

Wednesday May 12 is the semi / unofficial launch of TheRinseOut's new residency at the Hifi Club, Northern Lights!

Not gonna talk too much about this big happening...but you heard it first here..
Starting immediately some of TheRinseOut DJ's (Dan Solo, Mr Geography & guests) will be found every Wednesday at Calgary's most fly discotecha, the Hifi Club!
More details coming soooon!
We are pumped!

That aside...we are double excited to be playing with Bostons Shuttle next week at the club.

I caught some of his other projects set at Coachella a few weeks back..it was great!
Shuttle plays drums for and co produced the debut record of a little band called Passion Pit.

His solo project is signed to trailblazing label, Ninja Tune, & his sound varies from gritty yet club friendly dubstep, to off kilter broken beat downtempo and electro.

Facebook Event

"Born and raised in Southern Maryland, introduced to the electronic sounds in the D.C. and Baltimore clubs growing up, Shuttle found a home for his original sounds amongst the underground Boston musical scene. His unique live shows are now all but infamous within the tightly knit Basstown crew. Their all night parties fuel Boston's underground music culture with Shuttle's insatiable sounds and the thrill of no tomorrow at the forefront of every show.

The Basstown crew are not the only notables for which Shuttle has shared a stage, recent luminaries include: Devlin (Spank Rock), Yelle, Crystal Castles, Diplo, and Caspa. His remix credits are equally as credible and diverse including commissioned remixes of Phoenix, Micachu, and rockers The Death Set.

While still at school Shuttle honed his production skills devouring anything remotely considered listenable. Armed just with his laptop, he began making remixes of his favorite sounds of the day. These bedroom remixes caught the attention of the influential and tastemakers label, Ninja Tune. His critically acclaimed debut release “Tunnel” drew comments such as “this will stand as one of the best electronic singles of 2009” from Pop Matters and was named as Sasha Frere Jones’ number 1 song of 2009. Shuttle, not to rest on his production and DJ talents, also plays drums and co-produced the debut record for the new darlings of the indie scene Passion Pit."
