SUREFIRE SOUND SPRING TOUR 2012

~ In celebration of the Addison Groove “Transistor Rhythm” album and the Doc Daneeka & Benjamin Damage “They!Live” album – both released earlier this year on Modeselektor’s 50Weapons label~

ADDISON GROOVE (50Weapons/ Swamp 81/ Tectonic) UK
ADDISON GROOVE FACEBOOK 

Addison Groove (aka Antony Williams) started life under a different pseudonym altogether. Recording as Headhunter, with an LP and 12” releases on the influential Tempa label stretching back to 2007, he achieved legendary status within the dubstep scene. His work at the deeper end of the spectrum graced the label an impressive 7 times, a figure matched only by Skream. This work looked set to continue until 2010 when, seemingly out of nowhere, he crafted one of the biggest bass music tracks of the decade, ‘Footcrab’, under the new name of Addison Groove.

The response to ‘Footcrab’ was phenomenal, receiving critical and commercial success in equal measure across the dance music scene. Getting plays not only from the dubstep DJs that Williams was used to reaching, it also found its way into the record boxes of techno and house heavyweights such as Aphex Twin, Surgeon, Ricardo Villalobos and Mr Scruff, bringing an enormous new audience to his music in the process. Taking influences from the Chicago ghetto tek and juke scenes, Addison Groove’s impact on UK bass music has been colossal and unprecedented, sparking a huge interest in these styles from his peers and the listening public alike.

Two Rabbits Studios is a design firm, commercial screen print shop, and fine art studio ran by Los Angeles-based artists Mike Thacker and Bob Motown. Since 2007, the pair have designed and printed hundreds of rock posters and promotional pieces for movies and video games. Two Rabbits started small in a North Hollywood backyard—less than five years later, and they’ve been featured in galleries, Flatstock poster shows, and craft fairs in the United States and UK. They’ve worked with Warner Music Group and concert promoters Goldenvoice for artists ranging from Skrillex to Wu Tang to Portishead. Recently, Thacker and Motown’s focus has been on fine art pieces that reflect upon their hand-printed process and design.

“Buy Product” Series:

“Our work lately has been drastically focused on the repurposing of our by-product. Running a commercial print shop, making printed products all day, yields a lot of excess and leftover material, and we don’t like to see anything go to waste. From our test prints to our mixing sticks, we see the chaos and beauty of our artistic endeavors in everything that’s left over. We have taken what many consider to be useless and turned it into beautiful works of color and shape”

“Lone Lifter”
The EP’s title track Lone Lifter has a positive vibe with an added dose of intensity and pace. The track is funky, catchy, and commanding, and has all the right elements in becoming a warehouse classic.

“Blacktop Lane”
The EP’s powerful acid track has a feeling of driving down a curvy, mountain road. The way you rise and fall, twist and turn, the unknown factor of what lies ahead. EEZIR, who grew up in the Midwest, brings you a flavor of those classic acid sounds.

“Shifted View”
The contrasting moods from mellow and ethereal to snarling and aggressive bring an intensity and IDM flavor to the EP. Just as your view can be shifted by an unexpected event in life, this track represents that moment that leads to a new view.

“Lone Lifter (XI remix)”
Funky, slowed down, and deep is where XI takes the original Lone Lifter title track. His rendition has funkier house and garage swinging beats with dreamy and playful tones.

Raíz (Droid Behavior) LA
RAIZ FACEBOOK
RAIZ WEBSITE

Los Angeles born and bred, Vangelis and Vidal Vargas were raised in the ’80s on a steady diet of Latin freestyle, electro, and new wave that pervaded their urban environment. Their father also exposed them to cutting edge progressive acts Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk, planting early seeds for aural exploration. By the mid ’90s they were sampling LA’s underground club scene and heavily researching electronic music’s roots. After years of influence they began to express their musical vision through their own recordings and performances. Vidal and Vangelis eventually found common ground with producer / performer Drumcell, and in 2002 they formed the Droid Behavior event production group and record label out of frustration with the city’s lack of knowledge, acceptance, and understanding for Midwest-bred techno and house music and their European counterparts.

As producers Vangelis and Vidal have released and licensed original music and remixes under various aliases (most notably Acid Circus and Raíz) on the Droid Recordings imprint as well as respected labels Historia y Violencia, Tora Tora Tora, DJMag, Music Man, Resident Advisor, and many more.

Ricky Def (Futra) LA
RICKY DEF SOUNDCLOUD

Carefully attuned to the established and emergent genres of dance music, Ricky Def draws from house, techno, and UK garage to forge a sound that is as provocative as it is gratifying. A throwback to dj’s a generation ago, Ricky eschews digital artifice to rely on his staggering and coveted collection of vinyl and acetates. A stalwart of the Los Angeles underground since 2006, Ricky Def continues to execute his craft and compel dance floors with his impeccable sound.

THE FUTRA LAUNCH PARTY FEATURING …

DVS1 (house, acid, classics set)
(Hush, Klockworks, Transmat) MPLS/Berlin

Zak aka DVS1 (devious one), is one of the most prominent figures in the Midwest/US dance music landscape today. A local DJ favorite since the mid nineties, DVS1 continues to move floors with a combination of deep musical knowledge, unparalleled enthusiasm, and a vinyl collection of more than 10,000 records. Zak’s deep roots and his bold and uncompromising nature have won him great respect as a passionate and outspoken defender and promoter (HUSH) of quality music.

Zak began DJing in New York in the early nineties, focusing on the acid sounds of that time. After relocating to Minneapolis in the mid 90’s, his style evolved, into something more complex, deeper and more rhythmic. Since then, he has branched out into a wide variety of sounds from hard and fast, to deep and hypnotic, to slow and soulful. Rather than giving limiting names to the genres he plays, he describes the music as beats, rhythms, textures, and colors. His philosophy is that the genre distinctions themselves aren’t important the emotional content of the music is. This focus is readily apparent in the way he moves crowds both literally and figuratively by fusing together sounds that paint coherent, evocative, and powerful moods that are always appropriate for the time and place he is playing.

SAMO SOUND BOY
(Trouble & Bass) LA

Samo Sound Boy is a Los Angeles based producer and DJ whose powerful live sets, and original productions have brought him to the forefront of today’s global club scene. His introduction as an artist came in 2005 when Samo spent a year living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. There he learned to DJ from experimental cumbia producers at the now infamous Fugees 99, a Nigerian-owned dancehall in the city’s south end. Compounding those influences with a love of crunk and ghetto house, Samo emerged to create a uniquely rugged but soulful sound of his own. With his second EP released through Palms Out Sounds, another for Trouble and Bass, and forthcoming remixes for the likes of Tim Dolla, Bassanova, and NGUZUNGUZU, Samo is only getting started spreading his club aesthetic that Chicago journalist Dave Quam described as: “Weird, banging, and beautiful. Like a shortwave radio recording of all the best stations at once.”
