Artists Drop The Lime
event::about Let's be clear: the dance music revolution taking place isn't led by European 'superstar DJs' and Las Vegas-style VIP 'clubs'. The real sea change is happening at street level, spearheaded by next generation homegrown stars such as Manhattan native, Drop The Lime, aka Luca Venezia. 'Enter The Night' is his debut artist album. Now emerging as a hotly tipped singer, songwriter, and guitar-wielding frontman, Drop The Lime first achieved notoriety as head honcho of New York's rowdiest DJ crew and record label, Trouble & Bass. Dressed in black and with his hair coiffed into a rockabilly-style quiff, Venezia, like the legions of fans who turn up to his shows, takes his visual cues from 1950's rock 'n' roll. The latter also provides the key musical inspiration for his songs and productions. Brought up on a staple diet of Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and Richie Valens, Drop The Lime learned to play guitar and sing from a young age. He then majored in Music at Bard College, taught by luminaries of experimental electronic music such as Moog pioneer Richard Teitelbaum and Laurie Anderson collaborator Bob Bielecki. Fast-forward a few years and a love affair with club music specifically the UK-centric sounds of grime, drum & bass, and 2step garage soon began, solidified by a short move to Berlin and an immersion in house, techno and the never-ending warehouse parties the city is famed for. But the tattooed, Brylcreemed Venezia every inch the '50s teen idol never lost his love for the sounds he grew up with. Accordingly, his debut album, 'Enter The Night' draws parallels between dance music's own subcultural leanings, New York's historic gang culture, and the smoke-filled back rooms and underground drinking dens of rockabilly. The result is a cohesive soundtrack to late night rebellion, youth culture and the rhythmic pound of bass. Stay tuned.

event::about Atlanta based and internationally known, Le Castle Vania, commonly known as Dylan Eiland, quickly escaped the local trappings of his hometown in Georgia to play music around the world. Atlanta’s burgeoning music scene allowed him to develop his passion for music and nightlife, and he soon gained notoriety with his riotous DJ sets and penchant for production, which made him a household name in the dirty and distorted, indie-electro scene. Since the summer of 2006, Le Castle Vania has toured nonstop, taking his catchy electro dance beats on the road. He blurs the lines between cultures and cliques, from Mexico City to London Town, with his own signatory sound. He has DJed along side some of today’s hottest acts, such as Justice, MSTRKRFT, Simian Mobile Disco, Busy P, Uffie & Feadz, Kavinsky, Soulwax, Surkin, Para One, The Presets, Steve Aoki and Crystal Castles. However, Dylan prides himself on more than simply pushing vinyl for the masses. He’s also an avid producer and engineer; when not on the road he’s locked in the studio writing tracks from scratch and remixing his favorite bands. The attention he received from his remix of “Black Eyes” by Indie darlings Snowden (Jade Tree Records), quickly put Dylan on the map, the track continues to rock dance floors worldwide. URB Magazine included Le Castle Vania in their Next 100 for 2008, NYLON and Jane Magazine absolutely demand he play at their events. Fader, Flavorpill and BigStereo have all “raved” about his remixes. It’s clear this is a talent not to be dismissed, for Le Castle Vania is sure to be on the tip of everyone’s tongue and his sounds to be banging in everyone’s heads throughout 2008. His most recent creative endeavor is one part musical production, one part DJ performance, one part Blake Miller of Moving Units/Weird Science notoriety, and numerous parts of innovation…namely Lies In Disguise. After finding a home at So Sweet Records and cranking out some original tracks and remixes for Partyshank and Toxic Avenger, these two have gained notoriety as the up-and-comers to keep your eye on. They are currently working on remixes for Shinichi Osawa and Late of the Pier and are gearing up for a DJ tour to Mexico and Europe.

However, it’s his ability to create depth and take listeners on a journey within his productions that has him at the forefront of the next wave of bass music.

DJG's production style is richly melodic, emotive while full of groove and energy. Now considered a veteran of the American dubstep vanguard, DJG's recent productions have revealed an evolution in his music, getting deeper into tech-drenched, tribal, soulful tracks like "Time Is The Fire" b/w "Escape Pod" on Transistor or “Pressure” b/w “Spacecakes (feat.

event::about Anthony Williams aka Addison Groove started out life under a different pseudonym altogether, that of Headhunter, under which he achieved legendary status within the dubstep scene. With an LP and 12” releases on the influential Tempa label stretching back to 2007, his work at the deeper end of the dubstep spectrum has graced the label an impressive 7 times, a figure matched only by luminaries such as Skream & Horsepower Productions. 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 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. Progressing at a breakneck pace, he was quick to develop a live 808 show which has graced some of the finest nightclubs in the world including Fabric, London and Berlin’s infamous Berghain. With his hectic touring schedule including USA, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and numerous dates in Europe, he continues to bring his hybrid sound to captivated audiences across the globe.

His sounds is as much of a reflection of his involvement in various underground L.A. scenes; as it is of his own personal history. The L.A. producer grew up in Watts, the South Los Angeles neighborhood notorious for its race riots and inner city strife. DIBIA$E turned away from his gang-infested surroundings and resigned to his garage, where he found solace in video games and music production. DIBIA$ES' musical journey includes the boundless experimentation of the "Sketchbook" afterhour beat swaps, the madness of L.A. hot-spot "Low End Theory", where he claims home field advantage and through his musical headwaters, the legendary South Central LA hip-hop open mic "Project Blowed" In 2010, DIBIA$E celebrated the release of his first full length LP, "Machines Hate Me" (Alpha Pup Records). The album has been deemed an unbridled statement for the future of L.A. sound. Scatterbrained beats, fuzzed-out synths and unforgiving bass, the album trumps the already steep lever of anticipation for this release. This album serves as a bold statement for the personal and musical journet that DIBIA$E has made, a journey that, judging by his creative prowess, has only just begun.

In 2010 NastyNasty saw top rated mp3's in Xlr8r, Fact and The Fader as well as a seemingly endless tour of North America slaying crowds with everybody from European legends such as Joker, Mount Kimbie and Slugabed to homegrown heroes like Starkey, Machine Drum and even Ludacris. Setting him apart from the average dj, his live sets consist of entirely original compositions, utilizing his songs as jigsaw pieces to construct some sort of genre-bending sonic adventure. Noted for his energetic stage presence, NastyNasty can frequently be found simultaneously serving both the dancefloor and more sentimental endeavors while keeping the aesthetic that is his namesake. In 2011 NastyNasty is already slated for vinyl releases on U.K. based label Planet Mu, Berlins Robox Neo-Tech as well as consistently championing San Franciscos Frite Nite imprint with friend and label head Salva.

event::about PJ Geissinger aka Starkey is blessed with musical arrangement skills that would leave most composers green faced with envy. This combined with his high production ethic makes him a formidable force not only in the underground but also as a super producer of the future. Starkey is yet another example of what the streets of Philadelphia can create, his sound hits hard and is littered with bass and colourful audio frequencies. If you like grime, dubstep, hip hop and all things “street bass” then Starkey’s hard edged spaced out crunk is the sound for you. 2008 saw Starkey selected for Mary Anne Hobb’s low end special “Generation Bass”. 2 years later in 2010 he was again selected by MAH for the “Building a beat” special where he crafted a track from scratch in the space of 2hrs live on air. Starkey is also co-owner of the Seclusiasis and Slit Jockey Record labels, and a member of the Trouble & Bass Crew, releasing the freshest output from around the globe. This combined with his fortnightly radio show on Sub FM has positioned him as one of the tastemakers to emerge out of the bass heavy underground. Recent remixes include Tinie Tempah, Armand Van Helden, Gorilla Zoe, Uffie, Tempa T, Zomby, Inner Party System, The Constellations, Kano and The Foals to name a few!! Current writing and production sessions with Guy Sigsworth (Bjork, Diana Vickers, Imogen Heap, Britney Spears) are proving fruitful with songs being passed around various major recording artists such as Kelis, Missy Elliot, MIA, Britney Spears, Dizzee and more...stay tuned.
