--Tribe & Red Shield Introduce: VOLUME--
__Future Sounds of Electronic Dance Music__
11.23.2011 @ Red Shield Music Hall
---Africa Hitech (UK)---
Africa Hitech is more than a name; it
is an ideology - one that embodies its members’ passions for an eclectic
diaspora of electronic styles, from soul, dub and acid to UK garage,
grime, techno, house and Jamaican dancehall. Mark Pritchard and Steve
Spacek stand at the intersection of all these styles and the result is a
synthesizer fuelled syncopated percussion and bass madness.
Africa Hitech, AKA Mark Pritchard and Steve Spacek, will release their first album this May through Warp, entitled 93 Million Miles.
Pritchard is probably best known as half of the '90s ambient duo
Global Communication (he also produces as Harmonic 313). Spacek first
made a splash 10 years ago with his own ambient group, simply called
Spacek, and since then has worked solo and in projects like Space
Invadas (he also happens to be the brother of drum & bass artist
D-Bridge). The two producers first teamed up as Africa Hitech at the Red
Bull Music Academy in 2007 and have put out two EPs for Warp since
then, both of which flirt with elements of dubstep, grime and funky. All
of the tracks on 93 Million Miles are previously unreleased, except
for
Out in the Streets, which is available as of today through
Bleep. As with their last two records, the sleeve design is done by the
artist Andy Gilmore.
--Distal (Atlanta USA)--
Atlanta based producer, and part-owner of EMBASSY RECORDINGS Distal has
found himself rapidly building an internationally familiar brand in
2010.
Combining time travel with dance music Distal breaks down the more
ambiguous sounds from the past and fuses them with thoughts and
equations of the future. Because of this non-traditional approach to
Dubstep, Funky and Techno, Distal has been forced to take a few risks,
but along the way has created a very specific and friendly sound for
himself.
Bridging the gap between techno, breakbeat hardcore, house, funk,
gangster rap, and even pop culture, is a tricky formula to entertain.
This enthusiasm has already gained the attention of many well-respected
shamans and pioneers working in Dubstep and Techno today. Most recently
his first two releases under Embassy have graced the track listings of
Appleblim, 2562, Joe Nice, Moldy, Ramadanman, BenUFO, Julio Bashmore,
Breakage, and Moldy The list of recognition is set to grow in March 2010
with three releases due out ( Rogue Dubs, Car Crash Set, and Embassy ).
Local Reprezent
--Magnum--
In 2010 after causing some commotion
locally and over the internet, Magnum joined forward-thinking club music
label, Nightshifters, based in Berlin and run by DJ Donna Summer and
Jubilee to remix Canblaster's “Triple Ring” for Canblaster's debut EP
and then release his own debut EP “Grooveworks” in May 2011, which
showcases some harsher, heavier rave vibes and gets remixed by top
new-weirdos: Hostage, Panteros666 from Club Cheval fame, Randomer and
Lucid. In the following months Magnum released “Schemes” on Future of
Bass 1, a compilation cured by HxdB for US based label Gradient Audio
and remixed Bosstone, Emmerson & Klauser, MadJazz and Lao. His
sophomore EP “Visions” came out on Belgium based label Inhale on October
2011 and recieved early support from 2562, Randomer, Norrit and
Resketch among many others. Fall/Winter plans for Magnum in 2011 include
a forthcoming release on UK based label 92 Points as well as more new
tunes, more remixing, more shows and launching his own label Tribe.
