THIS WEEK!

DZ (San Fransisco - badmanpress)

DZ is a Dubstep DJ/Producer based out of San Francisco, CA, via Canada’a capital city, Ottawa. Recently featured in ATM Magazine’s “Leaders of the Nu Skool” segment, and currently smashing dancefloors worldwide with his infectious bassline-driven tracks “Down” and “Old Timers”, DZ is as driven to succeed as they come. His style has been described as “B-Boy swagger with Rave sensibilities” and his tracks are filled with body shaking subs, heavy drum breaks and witty call-and-answer high end melodies. With a release schedule to be envied and a back catalogue of dubs to last months (and months), DZ brings an element to the dance that pays tribute to the early days of rave by playing a wide array of styles in his sets.

He currently has releases on & forthcomings from Scuba, Black Acre, LoDubs, OffRoad, True Tiger, Aufect, Slit Jockey, Dubkraft, Dubstep Division, Mugswell Bill, RogueDubs, Middle School, Rottun & Bass Tourist, and has just finished a special promotional rmx of Jokers of the Scene’s “Baggy Bottom Boys” forthcoming on Fool’s Gold Records which is bound to garner him alot of attention from a much wider audience going into 2009. As 2008 wraps up, DZ has seen his track “Down” (out on True Tiger Recordings TTR013) in the top 10 downloads of the Beatport Dubstep section over the last 10 weeks (as of 13/ 10/08), with 4 of those weeks in a row occupying the number one position. Last but not least, his own imprint (Badman Press Recordings) is soon to drop distributed through Nu-Urban, with the 001 being the long-awaited "Break It Down" and the straight up party bit "How We Do". Where he finds the time to breathe is a kind of mystery, and if you ask anyone that knows him, they will most likely tell you that he is really a machine from another planet. He probably is.

Lalla Land

After the gold rush
Steve Lalla

Mutant offspring of dub and techno are ravaging the landscape, raping your children's ears at half-speed, doing the slow motion Bigfoot shuffle on dark dance floors where disembowelled bass bins stand sad and punished, one to a corner, the beaten byproduct of an increasingly somnambulistic life cycle.

Montreal promoters play host this weekend to a couple of groundbreaking artists based out of San Francisco, representing the best of North America's contribution to the slow and bass-heavy dubstep genre that has captured the imagination of DJs, producers and potheads the world over.

Ottawa-born DZ was raised on hip-hop, discovered drum'n'bass in the '90s, and exploded in the dubstep world with tracks appearing on the Hotflush, Black Acre and True Tiger labels since 2007, ranging from a light, dancey retool of Bobby Caldwell's What You Won't Do for Love to the floor-punching aggression of dubstep monster Down. He spins with resident Wally and special guest Lazerface at Passeport's Forward weekly tonight, April 16.

"My main influences have always been old school hip-hop, hardcore and breaks," DZ told Lalla Land. "Believe it or not, I don't listen to a lot of dubstep on my own time. I started digging drum'n'bass in about '98 when the sounds started getting darker and more bass-heavy. Dubstep grabbed me because of the similarities I heard between the breaks that I used to love, the swagger that the music had in the halftime, and the DIY aspect of the scene and
the punters.

"Coming from the free-rave days, the concept of dubstep and 'pushing the reset button' with the music was a breath of fresh air to me, especially in the studio, but also gave me a chance to flex my DJing much further than I had been able to since the late '90s. I don't see many similarities between the two anymore."

thank you steve lalla! :D
