This will be the ONLY place for Bass Lovers to be on Friday Nights in Atlanta!

With the invasion of the one and only TROUBLE & BASS crew!

DROP THE LIME
Trouble & Bass, Ultra Records // New York City, New York
Everyone comes from somewhere, but some people wear the cities they’re from like badges of honour. Drop the Lime is Luca Venezia, one of those people whose identity is intrinsically connected to his hometown – New York City. And while many have only just heard of the magic of Drop The Lime, Luca has been honing his craft for years. From humble beginnings in a gospel choir to a childhood obsession with 50s rock’n’roll, the 26 year old has been experimenting with sound for years. His influences range from Brian Eno to rockabilly (he’s well known for his 50s doo wop and soul sets) to Sonic Youth to Wu Tang. He also runs Trouble & Bass, an influential New York club night and label since 2006. The Trouble & Bass crew are the DJs who are defining a new New York sound. As Luca says himself – “Having a crew from NYC behind you, pushing the sound you produce, is essential in creating a movement. We’re all producers and DJs so sometimes we’ll collaborate on production—or I’ll have one of them help out with one of my basslines – since they understand my sound better than anyone else.” 2009 was a big year for Drop the Lime. He released two huge club hits, Devils Eyes and Set Me Free, the combined force of which helped him topple the likes of Phoenix, Florence & The Machine and The XX as “Most Blogged Artist on the Planet” (Hype Machine). Luca took his unique style of DJing around the globe, farther afield than ever before, crisscrossing North America many times as well Europe, China, Singapore and Australia. Videos of kids losing their minds to his unique sets, mixing rockabilly and club music with live vocals on top are all over youtube. 2011 sees him continue his quest to be one of the world’s leading DJ/producers, with a slew of singles and debut album about to hit in a big way. Keep your eyes on the Elvis Presley of dance music!

AC SLATER
Trouble & Bass, Party Like Us Records // New York City, New York
Mixtapes. It always starts with a mixtape somewhere. And in a small town in West Virginia, a 14 year-old AC Slater started rummaging through his dad’s music collection and laying down his own sweet mixtapes on a TDK D-C60. AC (real name Aaron Clevenger) upped the ante and threw in some big hip-hop and rap beats to his mixes, mastered the art of DJing and BOOM – he became the king of the decks at high-school block parties for miles around. Now AC commands the party crowds from underground dens in New York, the grimy warehouse raves of east London to the throbbing super-clubs in Tokyo with his high-octane mix of twisted electro and dance-driven beats. Can we call him a musical hijacker? We’d like to think so, as his relentless tour schedule sees him in a world-wide whirlwind, touching down in the heart of the party scenes across the globe. Here, he cherry-picks the tracks from the centre of the hardest, fastest and freshest clubland vistas and remixes and reloads them to fire back out at his ever-growing audience. With a background in hip-hop and rap, it took an “eye-opening” Chemical Brothers gig that sent AC charging into the dance world at the age of 16. “It became this big discovery process for me,” he says. “I was already into hip-hop, rock and punk, but the Chemicals was the first ever rave I went to. After that, I just went to my local record store and bought up every electronic dance record I could find.” While AC plays driving dance-floor beats, it’s his ability to fuse the underground with the overground that sets him apart from his contemporaries. He says: “I’m all about getting my music out to a wide audience, but making sure it has that fresh, underground edge.” So while his tracks like Jack Got Jacked blew up the blogosphere by harnessing the (then) underground electro sound in 2008, AC wants people to see the funny side too. No wonder, from the guy who once wanted to be a comedy writer – check out the lyrics to his dubstep, big-beef tune with Udachi, Calm Down (sample: “Yo why you take my sandwich on my birthday?/You know I’m on a diet/I need that multi-grain”). “Fans quote it to me. It was just a joke but people really enjoyed it. Sometimes people get too serious. Music needs to have a humorous edge.” And behind every great man, well, there may be a woman, but there’s also a crew. Falling in with the turn-it-up-to-11, bass-hungry party-starters Trouble & Bass, in New York City 2008 caused AC to not only up his game in writing, producing and performing, but also gave him a bona fide urban family too. “It was funny – I’d been to some of the parties they were putting on in Brooklyn, and one day I was Djing and I looked up and the three of them were just standing there at the back of the room, like real menacing looking,” he says. Thankfully, they weren’t there to tell him to get off their patch, but instead welcomed him with open arms and made it official with the infamous T&B pendant. “It just works,” AC adds. “We’re all really close. I consider them my best friends.” It was through the T&B crew that AC started working with Drop The Lime, a long-time collaboration which has resulted in tracks like Creepin’ (2010) and numerous back-to-back sets at “if-you-can-remember-it-yo​ u-weren’t-really-there” parties. Then there’s his other musical partner-in-crime, rapper Dell Harris. Their hip-hop odyssey into the underbelly of NYC’s nightlife, album Right Now (2011), already causing a stir. AC’s also been setting the clubs alight and making a name for himself as one of the hottest remixers around, with a back catalogue reading like a How To Dance manual. Boys Noize (Yeah), Crookers (Cooler Couleur), Moby (Stars) and Steve Angello and Laidback Luke (Show Me Love) are just some tracks in a long list of dance-floor bangers sparking out from his deft hand. In fact, Moby was so blown away he labeled AC’s remix as ‘a perfect song’ and one of his top ten songs of the decade, yep, there’s your night’s playlist sorted right now. Then there’s AC’s record label, Party Like Us, set up in 2009 and named after his eponymous bass -romper track. The label’s become the go-to name for the most cutting-edge musicians scouted by AC on his travels and currently includes a roster of bright young things Kry Wolf, Udachi and B Rich. And the mixtapes – they’re still going strong. Bigger, better and hyped by the likes of Toddla T, Annie Nightingale (BBC Radio 1), KISS FM and a million and one muso-blogs. The mixes have catapulted AC a long way from a West-Virginian bedroom, but the ride’s created one hell of a soundtrack.

STAR EYES
Trouble & Bass // New York City, New York
Brooklyn’s heavy-bass queen Star Eyes is known for throwing down raw, dirty underground tracks, from grime bangers to ghetto house, Miami bass classics to speaker-rattling dubstep stormers. This 15-year DJ veteran has always loved low-end—she was one of first female drum & bass DJs in the US (and a resident of S.F.’s long-running Eklektic night) as well as half of the Syrup Girls (called “New York’s best-kept secret” by New Yorker music critic Sasha Frere-Jones). Star Eyes has played all over the world, from the Vans Warped Tour to London’s famed Fabric nightclub, from clubs in Cape Town to Berlin squat parties, and opened for such acts as Diplo, Moby, The XX, The Streets, and Girl Talk. Since 2006, she has been a part of the world famous Trouble & Bass crew, which also includes Drop the Lime, AC Slater, and The Captain, along with affiliates worldwide. In June 2009, the Trouble & Bass label released her first EP, Disappear, featuring a mix of goth and rave influences whipped into a style she calls “haunted house.” She has also released remixes for Michna, Creep, Hussle Club, Hanuman, Riviera, Lil’ Tal, and more. Her new EP will be out on Trouble & Bass in June 2011. Her vocals also appear on tracks by John B (Beta Recordings) and Passions (Kitsuné), and she is the former editor-in-chief of the music magazine XLR8R

NYC’s party-crashing kings The Beatards get a floorboard breaking moombahton remix from dance music prodigy Clockwork. This leak comes on the heels of successful and loved Clockwork remixes for Snoop Dogg, Crystal Castles, and Cut Copy, not to mention a deal with Nitrus Records, and recent collabs with Gotta Dance Dirty and Hard. It’s been a favorite track of ours – and shows new direction and inspiration from The Beatards and Clockwork, both on and off the dance floor. The original version of “Tramp” (an infectious & danceable hip-hop club banger) will be released later this summer on the highly anticipated debut full-length album from The Beatards entitled I’m The DJ.

The Beatards – “Tramp (Clockwork Moombahton Remix)”

TRAMP REMIX

The Beatards are DJO, UTK the INC, and Chuck Wild. They met at a Brooklyn house party around 2005 and formed NYC’s popular MIXTAPE RIOT! parties – eventually becoming hosts to the talents of Santogold, Spank Rock, and over 60 other performers. The group has since developed their own music innovations and creations – steadily releasing a number of mixtapes, EP’s, and very popular music videos since ’06. Entirely self-produced, The Beatards blend a popular variety of hip-hop, electronic, punk, and international sounds that mirror the bands’ diverse individual backgrounds and collective global experience. The Beatards have shared the stage with Far East Movement, LMFAO, Kid Cudi, ?uestlove, Drake, Mike Posner, MGMT, and many more. If you watch MTV, E!, or Oxygen, you’ve most definitely heard The Beatards. Their songs “Make The Bed”, “Dang Diggy Dang”, “Neon Light”  and many others have been heard on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, The Hills, The Real World, Bad Girls Club, and more…

Look out for the release of I’m the DJ and The Beatards Remix EP coming Summer 2011!

Critics consider ?uestlove’s work to be some of the most innovative in Urban Music history. He began his stage performances at age 7, by 13 became a musical director and by high school graduation founded the group The Square Roots, better known today as The Roots. At the 2000 Grammy Awards, “You Got Me” by The Roots earned ?uestlove a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. He has also produced for artists such as Common and D’Angelo and member of the production teams Grand Negaz and The Grand Wizzards.

Aside from Urban Music, ?uestlove has made a name for himself through drumming for an instrumental jazz album, “The Philadelphia Experiment”. He was also executive producer for D’Angelo’s 2000 album “Voodoo”, Slum Village’s album “Fantastic, Vol. 2” and Common’s albums “Like Water for Chocolate” and “Electric Circus”. He has also produced or showed off his drumming skills in N.E.R.D.’s “Fly Or Die”, Joshua Redman’s “Momentum”, Zap Mama’s “Ancestry In Progress”, Fiona Apple’s Extraordinary Machine, Christina Aguilera’s song “Loving Me 4 Me” for her 2002 album “Stripped” and Joss Stone’s cover of the White Stripes’ “Fell in Love with a Boy”. Among his many profound musical accomplishments, ?uestlove also received Esquire magazine’s 2006 Esky Music Award in the April issue. It is no doubt that he has become one of the most prominent names in not only Urban Music, but also the music industry in general.
