Consequence Album Launch

a good friend of mine is dropping a album, check the mix link at the bottom


"This extremely talented and relatively new producer is turning the heads of some of the drum & bass scene’s most respected DJ's and label owners. His music is getting serious support from dBridge & Instra:mental, featuring on their Autonomic Podcasts, and also on Goldie’s Metalheadz pod cast # 5 which attracted over 50,000 downloads.

Cam McLaren aka Consequence was originally born in Toronto, Canada. Early on in life he moved to New Zealand, this is where he found his love of music. Early childhood experiments with a variety of instruments led to his love of composition and melody. Utilizing these elements in his current productions has given great variety in his sound and methods. At the age of 17 he decided to leave NZ for London where he pursued a career in music and played in a band as lead guitarist, performing in a number of successful live shows which led to record deal for the band. During a number of recording sessions at the Olympic studios (world famous for recordings of Jimi Hendrix/Led Zeplin) he developed an interest in audio engineering and decided to move back to NZ to study this profession. He became focused on Electronic production, specifically drum and bass. In this time he honed his skills and took influence from his previous musical experiences.

In early 2009 he was given the prestigious task of creating an album for Exit Records. He has risen to the challenge without even breaking a sweat (well maybe a little) and the debut LP is due for release in October. Come to the exclusive launch party presented by Polaroid to hear, for the first time, what is sure to become one of the most talked about albums in drum & bass worldwide.

I aimed to create music that doesn’t fit the usual mould of Drum and Bass, yet has its ties and influences from it. When listening to the LP in its entirety, I hope that listeners will be given an insight into the way I see my surroundings. Maybe people can relate, everyone shares certain similarities in the way they feel about their life and what makes them feel certain emotions. Consequence 09"

Tire la chasse -- Titine Boy


This is being toted as French grime even though it's already sounding pretty far removed. I know this guy has done a lot of work with Grime Sin, the only French grime crew I'm aware of, so I guess you'd have to call it grime. Whatever it is, I like it. Myspace here, and search this blog for more stuff by this lot.

For those who caught Kenny Ken at Manning Bar last week



Not sure if he actually played this (don't remember that clearly), but just to give a glimpse of what vibes were like that night... It was huge, even local heads were saying it's rare to get that kind of crowd out for dnb in Sydney. WE NEED MORE LIKE THAT!!!

DUBSTEP ARTICLE FRM THE GUARDIAN

The Guardian, Friday 12 June 2009

Dubstep and grime, the two wayward children of UK garage, have grown up. Dubstep is the globetrotting student, stamping its imprint everywhere from Chile to Australia, hanging out with Snoop Dogg in LA and at warehouse parties in eastern Europe. Grime, always the more promising child, has developed a split personality: sometimes phenomenally popular and happy-go-lucky (as with Tinchy Stryder, Wiley and Dizzee Rascal's electro-pop chart successes), but the rest of the time moody, introverted and defiantly self-sufficient. All that unites these estranged siblings now is their DNA. They come from the same place - the estates and pirate radio stations of London - and you can still see some family resemblance in their heavy basslines and their beats per minute, always around 140. But, if not exactly estranged, they are no longer close.

More importantly, what both dubstep and grime lack is the thing most prized in British dance music: novelty. In the streets and clubs, there is always talk of who's "pushing things forward", who's "going on differently". With the sounds of dubstep and grime firmly established, the search for the next big thing has turned once again to Bristol, the launching ground for the likes of Roni Size and his crew Reprazent, Tricky, Portishead, Massive Attack and more.

Today, three of the brightest hopes of the new Bristol sound are sitting in a beer garden, humming Sonic the Hedgehog and Street Fighter game themes, and downing cranberry sambucas. This is not how one imagines the future of British dance music. The three are 21-year-old Guy "Guido" Middleton, 23-year-old Jemal "Gemmy" Philips, and a third man, 20 years old, who leans in and gives his full name slowly and carefully to the dictaphone as "Joker ... Joker".

Racionais MCs - Brazilian Hip Hop



A crew from the favelas of Sau Paulo, who rap about police brutality, racism, poverty & crime. They also speak out for the black minority of Brazil, have worked with the Ministry of Education to develop ARAPensado e Educação (loosely translated as "The Rap Thinking and Education) program, and have done numerous benefit gigs to fund health clinics, youth sports programs, and samba schools. I'm still working my way through their exstensive back catalogue but wanted to give you a little taste.

Much respect to Siren for the tip off.
