Killer Dub Infusions next year

HEAVY HEAVY WEEKEND COMING UP!

Oh my god, prepare yourself for the heaviest weekend ever!

On january 25th the third Helling based DUB INFUSIONS will take place and it'll feature some serious heavyweights. On stage this friday night will appear:

Benga (UK | Tempa / Big Apple / Hotflush / Planet Mu) // Cotti (UK | Bassface / -30 / SoulJazz) // Osiris (NL | Dubstep.nl / Voodoo People)

Benga needs no introduction: his "Crunked Up" is still a massive hit, even outside the dubstep area it's a well played gem, and his other productions are equally impressive. With a unique style, which is best described as a fine blend of electro, two-step and reggae, Benga created a whole new spectrum in the ever evolving dubstep scene. Cotti scored a big hit in 2007 alongside his fella Cluekid (I don't give a dub) and keeps on coming with heavy reggae laden tunes that never fail to hit. He creates genuine dancehall tunes with a dubstep feel to them: heavy bass tunes with party written alover them. Dubstep.nl godfather Osiris will get the party going with his unique, fast and slick style of mixing which is always a pleasure to endure.

After this, be sure to sleep in 'n rest well, 'cause on january 26th we will go on with another heavy treat: a co-op with Patronaat has led to the following line-up:

Pendulum ft. mc Jakes (AUS | Ear Works) // Oris Jay (UK | Texture // Tectonic)

Pendulum are the biggest thing in drum 'n bass nowadays: harsh, poppy yet raw and bringing new styles to the front but never forgetting the oldschool. Pendulum have managed to create a style of their own and that paid off: they've got a lot of loyal fans and Patronaat will surely sell out. Who's better to get the party started than: Oris Jay? This Planet KL favourite and godfather of both two-step and dubstep is a killer on the dancefloor. His raw mixing style, incorporating both dubstep as early two-step tunes, never fail a party and will serve perfectly as an introduction into dubstep music. Breakthrough!

Info about entrance and opening times are in the shows section of the PLANET KL website

Sat nov 17: Moira Party!

NATHANIEL MAYER (USA)/Clote WO 28 NOV @ DBS

R&B soul legende uit Detroit. Inmiddels dik in de zestig (!) maar still going strong. Deze man stond op de planken met onder andere Jacky Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, en werd voor zijn laatste plaat Why Dont You Give It To Me? op Alive bij de hand genomen door Dan Auerbach (Black Keys), John Shettler (SSM, 14 december in dBs te bewonderen) en Troy Gregory (Dirtbombs). Het resultaat mag er zijn! Denk oude Detroit Soul, early Funkadelic, MC5, en psychedelic Temptations. Kortom, mis deze legende niet! Het kon wel eens de laatste keer zijn.... Opener van deze bij voorbaat legendarische avond is het Utrechtse rockabilly gezelschap Clote, met een frontman die verdacht veel lijkt op Elvis (van de Burgerkings). Drinking Wine-Spodeeodee en andere klassiekers als perfecte opwarmer.

CLOTE (nl.youtube.com/watch?v=feasvNyUXYw)Rockabilly traditonal style.
NATHANIEL MAYER (www.myspace.com/nathanielmayer)Living Soul Legend!

entree: € 7,- aanvang: 21:00 uur waar: Cartesiusweg 90A Utrecht
