Our friends, the HEAVY sound system, soldier on this month in the terrain of low frequency music that is Dubstep. Kongkretebass’ femme fatale Electronic Mistress will once again be supporting the mayhem with her exquisite dubstep selections. Oh and watch out she’ll be dropping a number of freshly produced chooooooonz from the Kongkretebass studio – 100% virgin material. Booya!

p.s. Dump your home stereos. You’re missing out on half the sound. You really must come out to hear (and physically experience) the low frequencies!

Kongkretebass Presents: UK’s dnb rising star LYNX
(Soul:R, Creative Source, 31 Records, Digital Soundboy, Bingo/ UK)

Saturday, 10. January 2009
@ BACKSTAGE Live
from 10.30pm -5am

To start the new year of 2009 with the deeper side of drum & bass, Kongkretebass is proud to present Lynx (Soul:r, Creative Source, 31 Records, Digital Soundboy, Bingo/ UK). Described as one of the freshest sounds to come out of drum and bass music, Lynx is no stranger to the big tunes and big stages.

Since emerging at the forefront of the drum and bass scene in 2007, Lynx has established a reputation for high quality productions with an innovative edge and DJ sets to match. Soul:r, Creative Source, Digital Soundboy and Bingo are just some of the leading labels he’s released music on and are proof that his sound is not only fresh but also diverse.

Reinventing drum and bass from the ground up, Lynx’s funk-fuelled sets have gained a reputation for smashing stereotypes as well as dancefloors and, like his productions, appeal to clubbers across the spectrum. With massive tracks including ‘Disco Dodo’ and ‘Global Enemies’ under his belt, Lynx has clearly demonstrated he’s not afraid to break the mould whilst staying true to his distinctive style.

‘The Raw Truth’ is his forthcoming & highly anticipated debut album  in collaboration with Kemo MC, showcasing a potent mix of beats, rhymes and basslines. Don’t miss Lynx’s Hong Kong debut performance!

Joining the lineup will be our friend and “soldier of positivity”, the talented vocalist MC DIDJELIRIUM (Shanghai, Tahiti).
