Mungos Hi Fi

NICEUP.ORG.NZ & NEWTOWN SOUND IN ASSOCIATION WITH RADIO ACTIVE & BASE FM PRESENT…

MUNGO’S HI FI (SCOTLAND) & EARL GATESHEAD (TROJAN, UK)

FRIDAY 12 FEBRUARY - KHUJA LOUNGE, AUCKLAND

SATURDAY 13 FEBRUARY - BODEGA, WELLINGTON

NiceUp and Newtown Sound are kicking off 2010 with two of the biggest reggae dubstep nights to hit Aotearoa when Mungo’s Hi Fi, straight outta Scotland, and DJ Earl Gateshead, from UK’s legendary Trojan Records, reach our shores this February.
Since forming in 2000, Mungo’s Hi Fi have been one of the most progressive forces in international reggae, unleashing a myriad of highly sought-after releases on their Scotch Bonnet label while playing countless sell-out gigs throughout the UK and Europe.
Drawing from a rich heritage of Jamaican soundsystem culture, Mungo’s produce a bass-heavy sound with a distinctively quirky twist that has garnered them a cult following across the world and earned them high praise from the likes of BBC DJ Mary-Anne Hobbes, UK soundsystem legend Jah Shaka and the late great John Peel.
The lads from Glasgow have collaborated with some of the biggest names in both old-school and new-school reggae including Sugar Minott, Sister Nancy, Ranking Joe, Kenny Knots, Earl 16, Top Cat, Brother Culture and Warrior Queen.
What’s more, Mungo’s Hi Fi are equally at home in the world of dubstep, with releases from their second label Scrub a Dub on high-rotation with some of the scene’s most influential DJs.
Joining them is Earl Gateshead, selector and leader of Trojan Soundsystem, the official sound of Trojan Records UK. Earl began his DJ career in 1979 when he played reggae records between punk bands in Brixton. He later built his own soundsystem and installed it at the famous Dive Bar in Soho, establishing a respected reputation throughout London and also becoming resident DJ at Blue Note and later Fabric.
After completing a 20-year residency at The Dive Bar, Earl began to organise and perform at a series of events called Reggae Nights that received worldwide attention. He has toured Europe and Australasia with Big Youth, Dr Alimantado and Cutty Ranks among others.
He currently runs a monthly event in London called Rootikal alongside his co-resident and long-time friend David Rodigan and tours the globe playing records from the extensive Trojan catalogue, spreading the original message from Jamaica’s golden era of reggae music.

Don’t miss what are set to be two of Aotearoa’s hottest reggae and dubstep events in 2010. Tickets $20 on the door.

Friday 12 February @ Khuja Lounge, AUCKLAND - with Dapht One (Beats People Movement), Oogun (Drunk Elephant), Art Official (Newtown Sound) & Naram

Saturday 13 February @ Bodega, WELLINGTON - with Art Official (Newtown Sound), Thief (Strictly 138), Manray (Vital Sounds) & Naram - powered by Vital Sounds Hi Fi

THE GASLAMPKILLER (Brainfeeder + Low End Theory L.A)

The Gaslamp Killer is a Los Angeles-based DJ whose eclectic style ranges from psychedelia and world music to dubstep and left-field hip-hop. Associated with Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder Records, he made his production debut in the late 2000s with a series of EPs. Born William Benjamin Bensussen, he originally comes from San Diego, CA, whose downtown Gaslamp District’s bar scene inspired him to name himself the Gaslamp Killer in disgust for much of the patronage. Upon relocating to Los Angeles, he found a niche for himself amid the city’s massive underground party scene and ultimately found a home for himself as a resident DJ at the club Low End Theory, which resulted in a series of club-sponsored podcasts. He also released a series of mix CDs, among them Gaslamp Killers (2007), It’s a Rocky Road (2007), I Spit on Your Grave (2008), Hell and the Lake of Fire Are Waiting for You! (2009), and All Killer (2009), the latter a label showcase for the London-based world psychedelia imprint Finders Keepers Records. As a producer, the Gaslamp Killer made his debut in the late 2000s, releasing, for instance, a split single with Free the Robots, “The Killer Robots,” on Obey Records in 2008 and an EP, My Troubled Mind, on Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder Records in 2009

ERU DANGERSPIEL

1ST SHOW IN NZ:
With their massive debut EP ‘In The Death Car’ featuring the now infamous “chainsaw track,” 16bit have rapidly shot into the limelight.
Their massively varied productions delve into every corner of the dubstep world, ranging from “halfstep rhythms…shot through with 10,000 watts of current” to “glitched 2-step and sub driven riddims”.
Their live shows are intense, to say the least and they’ve seen support from Kissy Sell Out, Mala (Digital Mystikz), Rusko, Chef and many others with a constantly growing fanbase.
Hot on the heels of the Death Car EP, 16bit will soon be dropping their follow-up EP on the legendary Southside Dubstars imprint.
They played their debut set in Tokyo, Japan just two months after their debut 12″ (PCP/President Of Europe) dropped, and have since played massive sets in Paris, London, and all around the UK and Europe.

Gas lamp Killer

The Gaslamp Killer is touring NZ in February and Beats People Movement have been lucky enough to secure an exclusive Auckland show !!

THE GASLAMP KILLER (Brainfeeder Records, Low End Theory, USA)

The Gaslamp Killer is a Los Angeles-based DJ whose eclectic animal style ranges from psychedelia and world music to dubstep and left-field hip-hop. Associated with Flying Lotus Brainfeeder Records, he made his production debut in the late 2000s with a series of EPs.
Born William Benjamin Bensussen, he originally comes from San Diego, CA, whose downtown Gaslamp District’s bar scene inspired him to name himself The Gaslamp Killer in disgust for much of the patronage. But his real home is behind the turntables, where his wild style takes DJing into the realm of freak fest psychedelia.
Upon relocating to Los Angeles, he found a niche for himself amid the city’s massive underground party scene and ultimately found a home for himself as a resident DJ at the club Low End Theory, which resulted in a series of club-sponsored podcasts. He also released a series of mix CDs, among them Gaslamp Killers (2007), Its a Rocky Road (2007), I Spit On Your Grave (2008), Hell and the Lake of Fire Are Waiting For You! (2009) and All Killer (2009), the latter a label showcase for the London-based world psychedelia imprint Finders Keepers Records.
As a producer, The Gaslamp Killer made his debut in the late 2000s, releasing, a split single with Free the Robots The Killer Robots, in 2008 and EP My Troubled Mind in 2009.

Easter Weekender

Easter. It’s big right? A few days off and a lovely trip to the Royal Easter show? I mean honestly, that candy floss is next level. Chocolate eggs all up in your grill. And who doesn’t love a good Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday?
This year though, there is something extra special to look forward to. Some of the biggest electronic acts in the world, from across the bass heavy spectrum, coming down to our little corner of the world for one set of New Zealand shows.
So we are proud to present for your raving pleasure, the first of many massive international acts to come:

Matrix (UK) (Viper Recordings, Metro Recordings)
www.myspace.com/matrixandfuturebound
The Metro Recordings head honcho is no stranger to destroying dance floors. He has produced
some of the scenes biggest anthems, both solo, and in collaboration with his more recent production partner in crime (you know, criminally good music) Futurebound.

Futurebound (UK) (Viper Recordings)
www.myspace.com/futurebound
We couldn’t resist inviting the other half of the production combo along too. Futurebound has just dropped the ‘Acts of Men’ EP on his label Viper Recordings he is ready to once again bring the huge Viper sound down to our corner of the world. Not shy to operate more than 3 decks, keep your eye on this one in the mix!

Trolley Snatcha (UK) (Dub Police)
www.myspace.com/trolleysnatcha
Even before collaborating with Caspa on the infamous “STLO” DP Remix, Trolley Snatcha had taken the world by storm with his chart topping tunes “The Future” and “Scattah” both of which saw releases on London’s heavyweight label Dub Police. With tunes such as “I Don’t Care” and “March of the Mallards” getting serious airtime, and a raft of releases on the way - missing this cutting edge bass machine’s debut performance in New Zealand would be nothing short of a crime!

And if that wasn’t enough, there are more to come. Seriously. More internationals, and the cream of the local bass crop, too!
So, I guess what we’re trying to say here is that when it’s pouring with rain on New Years Eve, you are covered in mud, your clothes have gone see through, and you have just caught your boyfriend in the port-a-loo with your best friend giving her “mouth to mouth”, escape to your happy place, and know that there is something massive to look forward to next year! Actual.

TICKETS
First release earlybird tickets are $29.90+BF nationwide. This is the PERFECT gift for Christmas, so don’t sleep on this offer. Earlybird tickets are STRICTLY limited - and with another 3 internationals to be announced you don’t want to miss these highly desirable tickets at this ridiculous price!
