Last year for the big decade of dub party they brought in Sister Nancy and this year they have done the one-up booking Mad Professor to mark the 11th anniversary. Yes, Dub at the Pub, Calgary’s long standing all things dub and reggae night down at the Drum and Monkey has been keeping Tuesday’s worthy a night out for 11 years now. Congrats are surely due to DJ’s High & I for doing their thing all these years. Roots reggae on the Drum & Monkey side, hard dancehall to ragga jungle on the Bamboo side, two rooms to vibe and bounce in and out of all night long. I can barely contain excitement writing this, mf MAD PROFESSOR tomorrow night! Get there early kids.
For the life of me I can’t find my copy of the Mad Professor vs. Massive Attack album so here is a video and a few Dub at the Pub inspired tracks.
holy poo. i actually went to a show last nite. at an old chinese theatre on the corner of hastings and main. downtown sketch vil. so absolutely no neon spandex and bad beards. (ps the royal unicorn has now been infiltrated by granville hos). so me, some random junkies, and a whole bunch of hippies witnessed filastine blow the shit up. buddy is from barcelona and spends most of his time in places like haiti, laos, and bolivia recording samples and taking video then brings it all on tour. so yeah he is my hero. political travel techno.
first up. holy fuck. i was shocked silly by this ep. mr. vonstroke was a bunch of other things to me other than this. he was way too drunk pick up at little too late club -sleazy, cool, and fuzzy. this is crystal clear seduction with way too chic chick in your room. the b-side is equally smooth.
look its a simple formula. hot vocals. drop dead gorgeous beats. i’ve been loving this long time. here is the latest of the bristol school. (yeah thats her up top)
i dont know why i stopped listening to minimal. maybe it was because it took so long to go anywhere. this track does not. 30 seconds in and it blows up all over the place.
These guys are in heavy rotation at my place these days. How to did I find them… the trusty xlr8r podcast of course, big things are coming for jahdan blakkamoore, dj rupture, and team shadetek!
i’m back from boreal wilderness so now present to you a selection. music that so easily invites itself to landscape projections, in drive by or fly by, consumed in headphones, glances from windows. these are tunes of the stunted forest, tunes i love and share with you tonight.
here are some totally different sounds that have inspired me over the last week.
Mochipet is like the new kid kola with an edge. plus who doesn’t love a guy that always wears a purple dino costume. check out the chris de luca remix of his hit get your whistle wet.
a slice of lemon in your earl grey, autechre to nigerian funk, theo parrish to dabrye, a pineapple express on leeward slopes,…this is a warm respite, this is a mixtape from lukid. curl into it!
