A jolly good drum & bass/dubstep radio show and podcast! Hurrah!
Hi all!
Tonight, our little buddies Mike/Darkenetiks and Ali/Hitoi are gonna be opening up for Fabio. Its 18 and up, free before 10:30 PM, and its gonna be held at Andalu (1214 18th St NW, Washington DC 20036).
You can have the official schpeal after the break…
I have some gigs coming up, and I do not like playing to empty floors or people just standing around:
02/10/2008 at Sin @ Modern _DC - big event this night with Black Sun Empire (NL) headlining, and I am playing drum’n'bass alongside Hyx & Houston.
03/08/2008 at Meditations @ Rock & Roll Hotel _DC - drum’n'bass set, think I am opening up for two hours, with Telemetrik and Mayhem both headlining.
03/22/2008 at Expansion Broadcast Allstars @ Shorty’s _Baltimore - you see that? ALLSTARS: IllEffect, Ransom, Ricky Ricardo and Whighzeguy plus guests Eternal and Blanco. We’re starting at 130-ish BPM and ramping it up to 175+ by the end of the night.
04/03/2008 at RADAR @ Shorty’s _Baltimore - breakbeat set at Wickity and Stryder’s new breakbeat-oriented weekly.
That covers all of my upcoming bookings, at least that I know of. I will be down in Miami during the WMC, but doubt I am playing any events and probably only going to make it to one or two anyways. And this may leave some listeners wondering about the other EXBC members… where are they playing in the next month or two? Well:
02/15/2008 at Wickity! Wickity! @ Shorty’s _Baltimore - Hitoi is playing a rare Baltimore appearance.
02/20/2008 at DnB Sessions @ Five _DC - Darkenetiks & Hitoi a.k.a. Dark & Lovely will be opening up for Fabio (Creative Source / Radio One _UK). And it’s 18+ to get in now!
We will update as we get word of more bookings for the crew. Keep checking out the podcasts and coming out to the events we are playing at.
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, Rogue State was kind enough to have me on his show, “Translation Sounds,” on BassDrive. Welp, in case you missed it, here it is in all its glory.
Worst post title ever!
Yes, yes. Big lineup friends. Myself and Ransom will be doing a back to back tagathon along with many others including Perpetuum. Check below for the full lineup. Btw, its free!
While I admit that I have absolutely no idea what the hell the “Dubstep Legion of Doom” is, apparently it will feature two of our very own performing this Saturday at the new DC hot spot, Rock and Roll Hotel. Here’s the details:
Me and a whole rack of other local-yokals are playing this Wednesday at Transit in Virginia. For some reason this flier has bats and shit on it. Last I checked Halloween was last week. Ah well…
But anyway, its 21 and up only, free admission, and there’s a whole rack of drink specials. So come out ya jerk.
Actually I lie, I have heard of Lee Burridge but only through Hitoi who is a closet “prog” fanatic. But I honestly have no idea who “Audiofly” is. Soo… yeah. There.
But anyway, Brandon Riggs and I are gonna do up some serious… action? Him and I plan to go back to back all night form 10 o’clock to close doing half hour rotations. Brandon and I tend to play a very similar style so this should work nicely. Perhaps you could even dub us “B-FECT” (just don’t tell D!).
If you wanna get down for the reduced list, send me a message via our contact page with your full name as it appears on your ID and I’ll pass the info along.
Yep, I’ll be playing alongside big names Commix and Chase & Status tomorrow night at Club Five. Its a steal at only 10 bucks all night long. You definitely ought to come!
So after one helluva craptastic week, I’m certainly glad its Friday as I’m sure you are as well. Sure, you probably don’t have work tomorrow, but that’s not why you’re excited. Oh no. That’s just ridiculous.
Tonight = EXBC funness. First up, we of course have our usually scheduled broadcast. I’m gonna drop some MAD BEATS (and by “mad” I mean smooth and sexy) for the first hour. After me, your favorite roommate-fill-in and mine, Mr. Beasley. Then from 9-11, I reckon Ricky Ricardo will take over from there and close out nicely with some dubstep that’ll surely put you right to sleep give you a boner?.
BUT THE FUN DOESN’T STOP THERE! After we close up shop, we’ll be heading over to Rock n Roll Hotel out on H St NE for some more drum and bass funness (I used it twice in this post, I believe that makes it an official word). Our very own Handsome Harry Ransom and (Mildly Attractive?) Mike Darkenetiks will be doing their thing from 12:30 to 1 12:30 - 1:30 (oops, I’m a moron) along with Altered Encryption, Headhunterz, Telemetrik, Lycan, Kaotix, Inflictz, and MC Concept. Fun fun funness (that’s three times!). Its free so shut your face and come on out.
Sure, we still have these guys playing Rock & Roll Hotel this Friday night, and then show patriarch IllEffect at Five on Wednesday the 24th, but now we have two more events we think you all should know about:
10/26 - Ransom at Buzz @ Fur: wearing the same suit that I wear to Jungle Jessie & James Jukata’s wedding earlier that night, I will be opening up for Breakage, who will be playing a 3-hour set of whatever he wants. I want to play drum’n'bass, so that’s what is played during my two hour set. Carl Cox is in the main room, and Mike & Ali are wearing costumes.
11/21 - Ransom and Darkenetiks @ Pho-Real Thanksgiving @ Five: Playing separate sets, I know I am playing classic drum’n'bass on the roof, and Mike is going to play vinyl records of some sort. Plus Matt Nordstrom and Dave Nada in the main room, and who knows who else is on this line up. The next day is Thanksgiving, so come out this night!
And in non-club event news, Renaissance Festival this past Saturday was super super fun, and next weekend a bunch of us are hitting the NoVA beer festival, which is going to be tasty.
