OoGuN

Ogun is the Yoruba god of Iron and War. He’s also known as Ogoun in vodou (voodoo) and santeria. Ogun is known for his hot temper - a god that got so carried away fighting for his followers against their enemies that he butchered everybody on both sides. OoGuN makes dubstep. He gets so carried away that he drops BASS on everybody on all sides. Ogun is also known for saving my great great grandfather, so it’s payback time. This music is for possession. If OoGuN favours you, the music will make it possible for Ogun to take possession of you. If OoGuN favours you, the barking of dogs and the sound of metal clashing with metal will become yours. Then again , you might just need to put the spliff down and sit down for a bit.

“CALLING ALL JUNGLE, DRUM N BASS AND DUBSTEP HEADS”

JAPM in Association with Base FM are excited to present

REMARC - “KING OF THE JUNGLE!!”

Thurs 4th December RISING SUN K’rd Auckland

This legendary producer/DJ needs little introduction but for those that don’t know;

UK DJ REMARC is widely proclaimed to be “king of the Amen” and “a pioneer of ragga jungle” due to his chopped up tracks for legendary labels such as Dollar, White House, Kemet, Labbello Blanco and Suburban Base.

Recently the majority of these tunes were compiled alongside previously unreleased dub plates for a two volume retrospective released by the highly acclaimed Planet Mu label. The re-releases of these classics soon moved as many units if not more than a successful drum n bass release proving that Remarc and the Jungle sound is still an unstoppable force in the game. It has recently introduced him to the world of other electronic music and a new generation of Junglists and amen mashers worldwide

With tracks appearing on over 111 releases there is no questioning that if you have not heard of Remarc, its time to open your ears to the founding father of the amen sound. For those familiar with the legend he is still spinning Jungle (oldskool and new) worldwide and is becoming equally known for his DJ skills and nasty dub plate specials.

2008 projects include the birth of his new record label Definition Recordings and a world tour to promote the sound

There is no doubt big things are on the horizon for the man that is passionate about what he does and is dedicated to flying the flag for Jungle - the sound and the scene.

For his definition recordings tour Remarc will be packing all of his classics mostly in exclusive VIP form as well as some very special remixes of other artists work - Add to this unheard dublates from his new label - and we’re Guaranteed a night of cutting edge amen pressure!!

So don’t miss this opportunity to witness the first and possibly only time the jungle legend touches down in Auckland.
