Cronik Re & Copious Dub:

Cronik Re and Copious Dub are a young West Auckland based dj/mc duo who have recently exploded onto the Auckland Dubstep, Drum and bass scene. In a little over 6 months they are already being touted as the future of these genres in New Zealand. Many are attributing this to their musical talent, originality and exhilarating performances. (MC) Cronik Re at only 20 has been established on the urban scene for over 3 years now, playing with the likes of Jason Howson and fellow MC, Billy Fluid both long time veterans of the New Zealand Dubstep movement. Now having teamed up with long time friend Copious Dub big things are to be expected from the two with recent news of their debut EP to be released under their very own independent label DubJB Records in late 2010. Cronik and Copious are definitely an act not to be missed.

Echo Company:

Auckland based trio Echo Company, aka Static, Levitate and Beman, migrated north from their home town of Wellington in 2008. All have roots in the New Zealand Drum and Bass scene and have been Djing separately, clocking up flight points around the country, for over 3 years. In that time they have supported numerous International acts including Logistics, TC, Jakes, Futurebound, DC Breaks, Utah Jazz and Brookes Brothers as well as well known locals The Upbeats, Agent Alvin, Truth, Optimus Grime and Antiform. Static also placed 2nd 2 years running in the national Drum and Bass djing competition “Rumble in the Jungle� New Zealand’s long running premiere Djing competition.
2009 saw a switch to the more wobbly side of things when the trio started getting heavily into Dubstep, This sparked many late nights spent in the studio trying to rewire Drum and Bass brains to 138bpm and even more noise complaints from the flat upstairs.
Aiming towards the darker side of the spectrum Echo Company’s sub heavy production has always been about having a bit of a laugh, with nothing taken too seriously. This can be heard in their creative sampling, as anything from a steel fan to a toilet plunger feature in their tracks.

JOKER
Born to Grime and adopted by Dubstep, 19-year-old Joker refuses to be tagged, although his soul-drenched productions have been described as Jehri Curl Boogie and Wiley stuck in an elevator with Cameo.
He burst onto the Dubstep and Grime scenes in 2008 with the vibrant ‘Grimey Princess’ and ‘Gully Brook Lane’, which were released on Earwax and Plastician’s Terrorhythm imprint respectively. His productions possess a rare duality in that they are both instantly identifiable yet impossible to classify. His musical peers include Rustie, Gemmy and Kode 9 - the Hyperdub label boss and recognised tastemaker identified Joker as one to watch when he named him as his protégée for Mary Anne Hobbs’ seminal follow-up to Dubstep Wars, “Generation Bass”, which was broadcast worldwide on BBC Radio 1. Joker and Nomad’s video can be viewed on Youtube, and in testament to the level of interest in this Bristolian talent continues to be the highest viewed video of the Maida Vale session.
His productions are battered by DJs including Appleblim, Pinch, Plastician and Rustie, he’s recently been named Pitchfork’s Producer Of The Year and Kapsize002, his latest release on his own imprint, sold out in 2 days.
As we move into the unknown of 2009, Joker is one of the shining stars that can be seen in the distance.

HEAVE! launches off in style with DEEP MEDI”S wonderkid- SILKIE!
All the way from West London, Silkie will bring the fiyah to the party dropping only the finest and freshest beats of the DUBSTEP sound. BE THERE!

Silkie fast facts:
Silkie is 23 and hails from Hammersmith, west London.
He’s the first member of the Anti Social Entertainment collective to release a debut album.
Other Anti Social members include Quest, Ms Beats, Kromestar, J5, Harry Craze and Heny G.
He’s signed to Mala’s (Digital Mystikz/DMZ) DEEP MEDi label
Other artists to release on DEEP MEDi include Mala (DMZ), Loefah (DMZ), Coki (DMZ) Skream, drum & bass legend Calibre, Quest, Kromestar, Clouds (Finland), Hijak and Goth Trad (japan).
He’s DJed all over the globe, but his favourite place to play is Dub War in New York.
Silkie has a residence on London’s leading pirate station, Rinse FM alongside a-list DJs like Skream, Marcus Nasty, Wiley & Roll Deep, Dizzee Rascal & Newham Generals, Oneman and Spyro.

SILKIE BIO:
Dubstep producer and DJ from West London. He released his debut LP City Limits Volume 1 in July 2009 on Deep Medi Musik, a dubstep label run by Mala of Digital Mystikz . He was personally chosen by Mala, along with collaborator Quest, to represent the growing global bass scene in Mary-Anne Hobbs’ live mix showcase Generation Bass in September 2008 on BBC Radio 1, two-and-a-half years after the seminal Dubstep Warz.
“It’s fair to say the dubstep scene has splintered and refracted into myriad Sub(bass)styles over the last couple of years, but at the epicentre of the scene are a few artists who have maintained the original spirit of the style while alloying it successfully with influences that were always hovering on the edges, but never fully integrated. Silkie is one of those artists…who’s heated elements of deeper house and synth driven soul around the glowing core of DMZ’s bassbins to create one of the lushest fusions in the scene.� Boomkat, July 2009.

Beat Merchants & FuZen Present………

SILKIE
Fri 29th Jan at Fu Bar
Hailing from West London, Silkie’s DJ sets combine impassioned melodies, ruff London bass, wonky synth and jungle-esque flourishes. These have made Silkie and his Anti Social Entertainment camp mainstays of the biggest and most influential venues in dubstep, like Fwd>>, DMZ London & Leeds, as well as holding down a serious slot on London’s leading dubstep radio station, Rinse FM.
Silkie began producing at 15 while still at school. He’s now seeing the fruits of his labour with DJ bookings across both the UK and worldwide. Through his immersive production vision, he’s long since ventured beyond his own personal City Limits.
“City Limits Volume 1� - Silkie’s album recently released through Deep Medi (the burgeoning stable of dubstep pioneer, Mala, of Digital Mystikz/DMZ fame) - is the culmination of eight years hard work in the studio. “City Limits Volume 1� is a glorious explosion of physical energy and concentrated emotion, proving itself a valiant contender for the most imaginative album in the dubstep sphere for 2009.
Silkie’s visit to our shores couldn’t have come at a better time, so be prepared for a set of pure originality and raw emotion.
