Proppa with Ill-Esha – Dewey dB – Socool – Tedder @ Hush [FRIDAY, May 29th 2009]

I am very excited to announce that I am playing in Victoria at Hush on Friday, May 29th longside Ill-Esha, Dewey dB and Tedder. You can expect a truly diverse and danceable evening of bass culture, with (loads) of dubstep, glitch-hop, drum & bass and more. I've been collecting plenty of fresh sounds for this one, and honestly can't wait!

I even put together a wee promo mix for this night, it's called Proppa Minimix, and you can get it here.

Ill-Esha
IGU, Breakbeat Science, BluSaphir, 6 Boro Clothing
http://www.ill-esha.com

For the last decade, Ill-esha has been an integral part of the North American electronic scene. Beginning as a vocalist, she soon added MCing and DJing to her repertoire, creating a dynamic and unique live show which has headlined alongside artists such as Andy C, Klute, Dieselboy, and LTJ Bukem. Ill-esha has performed in over 42 cities across North America and Europe, DJed on major television networks, and released top-selling vinyls on labels like Breakbeat Science, Outsider & Whisper Audio. Currently she represents drum & bass weekly on Bassdrive.com and glitch hop and dubstep sounds with the Integrated Grime Unit.

Dewey dB
Integrated Grime Unit, Dubslingers
http://www.dubstep.ca

Dewey dB is on the forefront of new music and technology. Inspired initially by the early hip hop/turntablism scene, Dewey found IDM while pursuing his electrical engineering degree and continues to be inspired by bass-heavy, glitchy sounds. He is one of the original founders of Toronto’s Dubslingers crew, a prolific force in Canadian dubstep for the last 4 years. Internationally, he has tirelessly promoted new music, running four popular websites (dubstep.ca, downtempo.ca, glitchhopforum.com, and dubstepradio.com). Currently located in Vancouver, Dewey has infiltrated the Integrated Grime Unit with his skills for building robots and ripping 8-bit samples. He is currently corrupting the West Coast with dubstep & glitch-hop in the studio & on the stage.

Socool
Shadow Jugglers, Undercover Dub
http://www.djsocool.com

Emily Sobool aka DJ Socool is a music producer and DJ based in Vancouver, BC. Her compositions and DJ sets fuse elements of dubstep, jungle, downtempo, reggaeton and dancehall into a fresh, unique sound. Her production has been compared to early music released on the iconic label, Ninja Tune, and her mix-tapes regularly receive praise from listeners worldwide. Socool is a host, DJ, and programmer for Shadow Jugglers, a Saturday night radio show on CiTR 101.9FM (7-9, pst). The SJ Crew and their special guests like to mix it up live on air, showcasing the best of the underground.

Tedder
WhiteBirdLifestyle, Liquidfunk.ca
http://www.liquidfunk.ca

Dubby basslines, jazzy riffs and pure soul are just a few of the influences that have shaped the style of DJ Tedder. Musical since his childhood in South Africa, Tedder began DJing in 2002 and has been in the foreground of liquid funk on Vancouver Island ever since. His soulful, dub selections and smooth mixing have moved dancefloors throughout BC and he has played alongside the likes of Calibre, LTJ Bukem, London Elektricity, T Power, Benny Page, Marcus Visionary & Mutt to name a few. Tedder is a Friday night resident at the Whitebird Lounge as well as a staple on the Liquid Soul stage at Soundwave Festival.

Huge thanks to Pacific Dubstep for inviting me out. Check their blog for more upcoming shows (including Appleblim!), plus nuff fine dubs and mixtapes...

Hey.

Do you like to party?

On Saturday, July 28th, The Daega Sound System, DJ Soo and I will be rocking the Un-Official Illuminaries afterparty at Rime (1130 The Drive).

It's on.

Soundwave was easily the highlight of my past two summers. It's this multi-day outdoor party on the island that takes place in July, right on the ocean. DJ Soo, MP Coast to Coast and I will be playing on one of the stages this year, repping Shadow Jugglers for three consecutive hours on Friday the 13th.

So the Bounce show was incredible. I am one lucky gal to get to play for a such an enthusiastic crowd.

Coming up:

100% Pure Love

New tunes!

These songs that I made can be heard on my myspace profile.

• Ransom for a Dead Man is a fairly involved piece spanning three movements. It is my homage to a show I've enjoyed for some years, Columbo.

• Mistah Boswell took form during my recent trip to Jamaica, and is dedicated to my friend Mark Boswell who inspired the direction of the piece.

• Next up is a song called Inity. Download or stream the MP3 direct: Rudegals - Inity MP3

• Just put the finishing touches on this one today (July 3rd). I am particularly excited to share this one. Dj Socool - Dau

Bio

Emily Sobool aka Dj Socool used to listen to music on her headphones and fantasize about sharing it with others. Sometimes, it involved hijacking radio stations, other times it involved guerilla attacks on coffee shops. But most recently, it has centered on the commandeering of turntables in order to bring the message to the dance floors. With the aid of the superstar DJ Soo, Socool has found herself descending into the mad depths of vinyl addiction. While her primary love is playin' in da jungle, she doesn't like to limit herself to just one genre: her New Year's Eve 2006 downtempo set featuring the likes of Lou Reed, U.N.K.L.E. & and Aphex Twin is widely regarded as "enigmatically eclectic."

Speaking of hijacking radio stations, Socool has been holding it down as one of the residents of the Shadow Jugglers Saturday night radio show on CITR 101.9FM (7-9pm, pst) / www.citr.ca. The SJ Crew (MP, Bias, Soo & Socool) like to mix it up live on air, playing pretty much whatever is moving them at the moment - from Jungle to reggae, dubstep to downtempo, hip hop to funk, and more.

Socool is all about embracing that which is unique, and isn't afraid to take risks in her music. She doesn't play just one genre or represent just one sound, so you never really know what you're going to get. Sometimes, I think even she might not know. In any case, so far it seems to be working, as Socool was recently voted Best Newcomer DJ from the NWDNB.BC.CA community. DJing has led to producing original music, as it often does. And let me tell you, it is very much true that she enjoys writing songs and having them come to life.

NWDNB Awards
