JONNY RAP ATTACK (Beer & Rap)
Urban Nerds’ monthly mash-up brings a regular dose of Nerds madness to our favourite East End boozer on the last Saturday of every month, showcasing our favourite up and coming acts, producers and DJs in the dubstep, garage, electro and UK bass game!
This month BBC Radio 1Xtra’s latest recruits, True Tiger, present two of the homegrown UK label’s most prolific producers in the form of dirty, dark dubstep and bass aficionados Stenchman and Sukh Knight!
They’re joined by the Urban Nerds resident squad…garage and grime merchant, Ordio Kid. Dubstep hard nut Drama, hip-hop & dancehall don Dusty Lungs, plus the Beer & Rap C.E.O. notorious party starter and hip-hop commander, Jonny Rap Attack!
Our pals over at Ego Thieves are back on their mix game with a fresh edition from the bass crazy Tomba…bringing you his new mix called Disturbed. Warped bass, sub low wobbles and brain shaking sounds (and thats the polite way to describe it). Let the bass weight do the talking…
This month’s issue of Esquire magazine is proof of just how far the reach of dubstep is now. The sound that only a couple of years ago was still considered to be largely underground has infiltrated adverts, TV shows, commercial radio and mainstream chart bangers and now…dubstep has made it into the conservative mens style guide with a 40-something readership that is Esquire Magazine. This month’s Esquire Manual features ‘How To Talk Dubstep’, a five-step guide to bass-weight from Soul Jazz’s Nicole McKenzie. Don’t know what to make of this…it’s the age old debate of whether the sounds we love should stay under the radar or embrace growth and inevitably cross-over into the mainstream. In this case there’s definitely a transition. Either way, it’s still sick, we still love it, we’ll still push it. Dubstep’s here to stay!
Here is a little selection of pictures from our recent trip to Berlin. Highlights included the Supremebeing Party (hold tight Ginger Jesus). The Wesc, Vice and Adidas party. DJ Zinc tearing it up in usual style @ Club Icon. Some dubstepping business provided by LD, Orson and the man like Sgt Pokes (cheers for the spliff). Three days of fashion, beats and booze – hold tight Jake the Ace for making it one to remember.
This Wednesday London’s newest dubstep weekly returns to The Den (formerly The End). After a massive installment of bass from Coki, Chef and Urban Nerds’ Ordio Kid last week, Somenight #09 promises to be another packed night as Rattus Rattus joins Distance, Scuba and Vagabondz residents Slugz & Boyson in room 1 while room 2 kicks off with one of our favourite blogs and DJ collectives, Hush House for a massive takeover that sees the Hush House DJs rep alongside Rob Sparx, Ruckus & Roke and the infamous Boogaloo Crew! Entrance is only £3 quid before 11 and £5 after if you’re on the list. Get yourself on by emailing somenight@gmail.com or text ’somephone’ with the names of your crew to 07552935116 before 8pm on the night! See ya’ll inside the ride!
Urban Nerds & ATG frontline MC Illaman is back on form with some of his trademark dark & dirty vocals over The Illness, the latest release from top breaks boys The Equalizers & The Magnet Men. With radio plays all over the shop on the likes of Radio 1 and Kiss 100, this is definitely one to watch. Now Noisses takes it to the next level with a gut wobbling dubstep re-fix that’s climbed its way to the top of Trackitdown dubstep chart! Go support and part with a meager £1.49 to cop the rude Noisses remix here. Snap up the original on vinyl from Chemical Records.
