October 26th, 2009 | Published in Main Feature, Upcoming Events | 1 Comment
Oct 31st Cowboy Monkey and Maximum Strength Sound System bring you the latest installment of DUBSTEP MASSACRE. Halloween night starting at 10pm the bass will be blasting til 2am with some of the best dubstep djs in the state.
WE WILL BE HAVING A COSTUME CONTEST:
there are no rules, but there are prizes, come dressed to impress to get some swag from local business AND some autographed vinyl by a certain DJ who played here recently.
Special Guests: Phaded and Richie August will be gracing the decks with some HEAVY tracks. If you haven’t heard these guys, you are in for a treat!
Richie August started mixing Drum & Bass and Hip Hop in 1998. He then started producing his own music in 2000, and worked with Chicago Hip Hop artist, “Skope The Lyrical MC”, until he was exposed to Dubstep in early 2008. It didn’t take him long before his first Dubstep release was signed to Betamorph Recordings entitled “Death Proof EP”. As soon as that EP was released, it solidified his sound in the Dubstep community as a Producer / DJ with nothing but teeth rattling bass and a Hip Hop edge… A sound which nobody has been able to imitate. Since then, he’s been making beat after beat, remixing, collaborating and pushing out tracks. As soon as you hear a new Richie August tune, you know it’s his. Richie has played clubs and raves all over the US. He has shown his skills at the infamous “SmartBar” in Chicago numerous times, murdering their dance floor on the clubs’ Funktion-One sound system. Richie just got back from playing Fuzz in Pittsburgh, has a tour planned for this Fall/Winter, and is currently filling up his calendar with dates throughout the U.S.A.
Blazing the U.S. Dubstep scene constantly for the last several years, “Chicago Dubslinger” is a name that Phaded solely secures. El Phado is one of the pioneer DJ’s on the premier online Dubstep radio station, Dubstep.fm, with a loyal following for his Sunday broadcast- The Dented Sessions Live From Chicago. He’s also the founder of the Dubfix franchise, which is responsible for showcasing some of the biggest names in the Dubstep scene to the midwest. Phaded has played along side the likes of Caspa, Rusko, Benga, Hatcha, Distance, Reso, Kode 9, DZ, Joe Nice, The Glitch Mob, Ana Sia, Dj Ott, Bass Science, Shpongle and VibeSquaD just to name a few. You can always prepare for the heavyweight bass with Phaded in the place.
Afterhours location will be announced at the show, BUT, know that Brandon S will be in the place blasting it out for the late night party, with some Drum and Bass from Geist to follow!
