ANNIE MAC at Stealth - Bank Holiday Sunday 1st May, 2011

Bank Holiday Sunday May 1st, 2011

THE INDOOR FESTIVAL present...

ANNIE MAC (BBC Radio 1)

On Sunday May 1st as part of the Indoor Festival 2011 we are pleased to welcome back the first lady of Radio, BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac!

Born in Dublin to a family immersed in musicality, Annie Mac left home at 17 to attend Queen's University in Belfast, where she was bitten by the clubbing bug, and inspired to purchase her first set of decks, Annie taught herself to mix using old funk and soul records bought from local charity shops. Following a stint as part of Shine's marketing team and four months living in Manhattan, Annie made the move to London, working simultaneously as a TV and radio plugger, a freelance broadcasting assistant and a presenter for the SBN, before she approached BBC Radio 1.

Annie's show on Radio 1 began in July 2004 when, working as a assistant producer on Zane Lowe's show, she impressed Radio 1 bosses with her demos and her determination.

Since then her show has gone from strength to strength. Annie Mac's Mash Up on Friday nights on Radio 1 has attracted a host of loyal followers from around the world and sees Annie play the cutting-edge dance music which she has become known for.



Annie is a talented club DJ, playing reguarly at Stealth since 2005. We have hosted the Nottingham leg of the annual DJ tour 'Annie Mac Presents...' for the last few years, which features Annie playing alongside some of her favourite acts. The clubnight has launched the off-shoot of the 'Annie Mac presents...' CD Compilations:




Since 2009, Annie Mac's show has moved to the new time slot of 7pm to 9pm, taking over from Pete Tong. One of the highlights of the show are the weekly 'mini-mixes' where Annie's guests make a special mix of all of their favourite songs all 'mashed-up' into a 5 minute mix. A selection of the mixes can be downloaded from here.

To listen to Annie's latest show head over to her BBC iPlayer site.

Annie is known for playing an eclectic mix of genres in her DJ sets, including House, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, UK Funky and Disco. Have a listen to her 2010 'Y.M.A.C' Disco mix (originally available via her Annie Mac Presents blog):


ANNIE MAC plays at The Indoor Festival on Sunday May 1st, 2011 alongside JACK BEATS, A1 BASSLINE & so much more.

The event has sold out for the past few years so if you haven't got a ticket yet then we advise you get one ASAP from here!

HYETAL (live) at Dot To Dot Festival 2011 (29/05/11)

Bank Holiday Sunday 29th May

Dot To Dot Festival 2011

HYETAL (live)
Growing out of Bristol’s second wave of Dubstep starlets alongside producers such as Joker, Gemmy and Julio Bashmore, Hyetal makes music that blurs boundaries, builds dancefloors and ‘drips with colour’. Infact much has been made of the visual nature of Hyetals music, like a kaleidoscope for the ears drums or a synesthesiac’s wet dream.

“Hyetal has a kinda strange and tender magic that is just truly enchanting”

Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio 1)

Since relocating from his native Southampton he has been fully embraced by his new home of Bristol, releasing on the local labels Punch Drunk and Soul Motive.


His collaborations with Julio Bashmore (as Velour for Night Slugs), Shortstuff, Peverelist & Baobinga and mixes for Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio 1), Fabric Live, FACT & LuckyMe have help to showcase the sound of this next generation of ‘post’ Dubstep artists and firmly sits Hyetal right in the middle of them.



Hyetal's first single from his forthcoming debut long-player 'Phoenix' dropped last year, gaining rave reviews from the likes of Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, Fact Magazine & Knowledge:



On May 2, the talented producer will add a full-length LP to his repertoire. The 10-track Broadcast will drop via Bristol-based imprint 'Black Acre', preceded by the recently released single, 'Diamond Islands'. On the inspiration behind that fresh track, Hyetal says, "I wanted to make something stripped back, so most of it’s just [vocalist Alison Garner], sub-bass, a drum machine, and this weird atmosphere."

Hyetal - Diamond Islands

Check out his 2010 mix for Fact Magazine (featuring the likes of Julio Bashmore, Mosca, Doc Daneeka, Shortstuff, Headhunter, Starkey, Guido, Gemmy & Prince!):

AC SLATER (Trouble & Bass) at Stealth (09/04/11)

Saturday 9th April, 2011

Stealth Vs Rescued present...

AC SLATER (Trouble & Bass)
This Saturday we are looking forward to welcoming back Trouble & Bass star AC Slater to Stealth Vs Rescued. Brooklyn used to be known for its brownstone houses and pizza, but these days AC Slater (aka Aaron Clevenger) is working hard at making sure the borough is a hotspot on the worldwide map of heavy bass. Raised on ’90s hip-hop and nourished by old skool rave, Slater has combined his influences and love of music to birth his own production style, which is currently breathing life into subwoofers worldwide.


AC Slater continues to display his excellent DJing skills from Europe to the UK, from Canada to Mexico, from Asia to Australia and everywhere in between, leaving pumping adrenaline and wobbly speakers behind him wherever he goes. His music is consistently played on BBC Radio 1 and Kiss 100, and his tracks have appeared in DJ sets from Crookers, Armand Van Helden, Jack Beats, Freestylers, MSTRKRFT, Sinden, Drop the Lime & Stanton Warriors to name a few.

AC’s first major EP, 'Jack Got Jacked' hit the #1 bestseller position on Juno back in 2008 (and helped to launch the then unknown duo Jack Beats); Moby picked his remix of "Turn the Music Up" as one of the top 10 songs of the decade; and both Beatport and XLR8R Magazine have picked him as an "Artist to Watch" in 2009. Believe the hype!

Listen to/download his brand new 'Land Of Doom' mixtape recorded prior to his 2011 European/Australia tour:


Tracklist:

Land of Doom Intro
Tom Staar - “It Excites Me” (AC Slater Intro Edit)

Get to know... MOOMBAHTON

Moombahton (pronounced Moom-buh-tone) is a genre of electronic dance music that was created by American dj/producer Dave Nada in winter 2009. The specific event that stimulated NADA's development of the Moombahton genre was his slowing the Afrojack remix of the Silvio Ecomo & DJ Chuckie song "Moombah" to 108 beats per minute. Because that tempo nears that of the Reggaeton genre Nada created the neologism "Moombahton" by combining the title of the track "Moombah" and the "ton" ending of the word "reggaeton" and applied it to his new genre. The original Moombahton tracks feature chopped vocals, layered acapellas, extended and enhanced build-ups, as well as the introduction of new drums & percussion elements.

Listen/download Dave Nada's Moombahton EP courtacy of T&A Records:



For an interview with Dave Nada discussing his creation of Moombahton visit The Fader.

The Moombahton genre has since been embraced by influential artists and labels such as Diplo, Brodinski, Fool's Gold and Dubsided, and with Toddla T presenting a 'Moombahton Special' on Radio 1 and a Mad Decent showcase at the Miami Winter Music Conference the hype surrounding the genre continues to grow.

The UKs leading name in the genre is DJ SMUTLEE who is resident at London hotspot YoYo. Check out his mix for the Mixpak Records blog, showcasing the sounds of Moombahton:




The standout track from this mix is Smutlee's own Moombahton blend of Booka Shade's 'Body Language' & Natalie Storm's 'Look Pon Me':



If you like the sound of that then head over to XLR8R where they were good enough to give the edit away in full quality MP3 :)

DJ Smutlee plays at Stealth Vs Rescued on Saturday 21st May.

JAM CITY (Night Slugs) at Stealth (16/04/11)

Saturday 16th April, 2011

Stealth Vs Rescued present...

To date, there’s been an aura of mystique and anticipation surrounding the music of Jam City. Purported to be ridiculously prolific with his output, Jam City dubplates have been a staple of the charts, mixes, DJ sets & weekly Rinse FM shows of Bok Bok & L-Vis 1990 all the way back to before Night Slugs was a label entity. The young producer has even composed a film soundtrack and was featured in the 'New Band Of The Day' Guardian column over a year and a half ago!


“I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about a new British producer as I am, right now, about Jam City” - FACT Magazine

In the past 12 months there has barely been a single music commentator who hasn't extolled the brilliance of Jack Latham aka Jam City. He has played a crucial role in the ascent of Night Slugs to its rightful place as one of the best dance labels going at the moment. His FACT mix in late 2009 quickly marked him out as one to watch and he has gone on to justify the (considerable) hype with two fantastic releases on Night Slugs.



"'Ecstacy Refix' is just one of those anthemic wonders that defies easy categorisation, employing distinctive Grime signatures but with an almost euphoric color palette that takes in rave stabs and distant percussive hits, proper hands-in-the-air styles for peaktime summer jams" - Boomkat

Anyone with a semblance of attending night clubs will have heard “Magic Drops” murdering the dark spaces of dancefloors in recent months and will instantly recognise the pressurised crunk grind meets blissed out keys and sludge drunk synths of Jam City’s tribute to Eski beat:





To find out more about Jam City check out this 2009 interview from Fact Magazine.

Listen to Jam City's mix from The Boiler Room (courtesy of the Red Bull Music Academy Radio):

COSMIN TRG (Hessle Audio/Tempa/Hotflush) at Stealth (18/03/11)

Cosmin TRG (Hessle Audio/Tempa/Hotflush/Hemlock/50 Weapons)
Cosmin TRG (formerly just TRG) is one of those producers who never seemed to have any one particular home base or community. Perhaps it’s being from Romania, or maybe it’s just the fact that his sound is as unpredictable as the labels he’s released on.



His first 12” was the debut release on Ramadanman/Ben UFO/Pangea's Hessle Audio label, garnering praise from BBC Radio 1’s Mary Anne Hobbs among others.



Cosmin TRG re-invents his music constantly, and currently champions modern electronics supported by the likes of Apparat, Benji B, Gilles Peterson, Martyn, Ben Sims, Marcel Dettmann, Untold, A Made Up Sound, the Arpiar collective, Shed, Roska, Deetron, Rob Da Bank, Laurent Garnier or Modeselektor among others. An alumni of the illustrious Red Bull Music Academy and a regular in music magazines such as Mixmag, DJ Mag, iDJ, Groove, Fact Magazine, Resident Advisor or Pitchfork Media, Cosmin TRG has presented his unique take on interesting dancefloor music to clubs and festivals including Sonar, The End, Fabric and the notorious Paris Techno Parade.



Sores Of Attraction (Rush Hour) by CosminTRG

Listen to his mix for Red Bull Music Academy, featuring tracks & remixes from the likes of Roska, xxxy, Falty DL & Marcel Dettmann:


And also well worth a listen is his Fact Mix, which features Stealth favourites Seiji, Hot City, L-Vis 1990 & Pearson Sound (Ramadanman).

ONEMAN (Rinse FM) at Stealth Vs Rescued

Coming soon to Stealth Vs Rescued...

ONEMAN (Rinse FM) at Stealth Vs Rescued (12/03/11)

Oneman plays a lot of old tunes, an exception in a scene obsessed with the perpetual "moving forward never backwards" motion of dubplate culture. Again, as such a DJ, he should be confined to the ranks of the many DJs out there. But over the last few years Oneman has most definitely moved ahead of the pack.

'I just wanna make people dance and people dance to good beats,' says Oneman.

Few epitomized what an incredible year 2010 was as DJ Oneman, this column's DJ of the year. When Loefah put him forward for Mary Anne Hobbs' Generation Bass showcase in 2008, his talent as a DJ was undeniable, yet mixing early DMZ releases into old UK garage records will only take you so far. Instead he spent the next two years walking a new path, eventually ushering in a new generation of producers and sounds distinct from the grime, funky, dubstep, and garage scenes that inspired them.



By summer, armed with peerless mixing skills and new Serato tricks, Oneman would reach Slimzee circa 2003, Hatcha '04, or DMZ '06 levels of creativity, putting clear water between himself and the very hot competition. He broke one of the records of the year, Girl Unit's "Wut", and launched his 502 label with two fresh new artists, Fis-T and Jay Weed. His appearances on the cult ustream show 'Boiler Room' have got the internet world buzzing - notably playing unknown dubplates such as the much hyped 'Sicko Cell':


For his most recent mix head over to the LuckyMe website, or click here to download. With a tracklisting that includes Jamie xx, Girl Unit, Joker, Canblaster, Wiley, Prince, Marcus Intalex, French Fries, Digital Mystikz, Scuba, Addison Groove, Mobb Deep, Zed Bias, Boddika and Justin Timberlake (?!?) you really need to get this on your iPod!

And if you like the sound of that then head over to his Mixcloud page where you can find more audio heat :)

LONE (Magic Wire/Werk Discs) at Stealth (18/02/11)

> > > Friday 18th February, 2011 < < <

> > > LONE (werk discs/magic wire recordings) < < <

Lone originally turned heads with his wonky but nonetheless charming take on dreamy instramental hiphop most notably in his critically accalimed 'Lemurian' LP. More recently he's picked up the tempo and carved a a niche all of his own with knowing nods to early 90's house and Detroit techno.



All this is summed up perfectly on his fantastic mini LP 'Emerald fantasy Tracks' released on his very own Magic Wire Recordings.





It's no exaggeration to say that Matt is not only the most gifted producer to come out of Nottingham perhaps ever, but he's arguably the single most exciting producer in the UK at the moment.
