Yes, Yes – Kongkast #112 is here!

This week on Kongkast, we bring to you a duo known by “The Abyss” (aka. Boot & Sook), who seems to be doing no wrong in the Sydney Dubstep scene.
With some seriously heavy tune in the bag, this powerhouse duo have had (and forthcoming) releases on Rottun, Terminal Dusk, Betamorph, Digital Mixdown, Rogue Dubs, Carbon Logic. They’ve also got a split EP forthcoming on Betamorph containing solo and collaboration from both the boys.

No stranger to the Sydney Dubstep + Drum and Bass scene, The Abyss have shared the stage with some of the most respected DJs/Producers in the Dubstep/Drum and bass scene such as Reso, Seven, Garage Pressure, Mark Pritchard, Calyx & Teebee, Phace, Misanthrop, Raiden, Spor to name a few. With regular appearance at DSS Warehouse parties, Void, No Frills, DNBBQ, Inhale and more.

Many thanks to The Abyss for bringing his exclusive selection to this week’s KONGKAST!
Now tune in and “Strap on your moonboots, it’s time to spacewalk…”

Hong Kong’s bass music cultivators, Kongkretebass, are back this spring with another forward thinking booking! On Saturday, 10th April we will introduce one of the freshest rising producers on the UK Dubstep horizon, KRYPTIC MINDS.

With their new album release ‘One of Us’ on Loefah DMZ’s new label ‘Swamp 81’, Kryptic Minds are taking the Dubstep scene by storm. With their unique definition of the sound (“We’ve never felt that the music we produce is necessarily drum and bass or dubstep or trip hop.”) the album’s fresh take on stripped down sub-loaded beats is hailed and supported by the leading figures in the scene such as DMZ (Loefah, Mala, Coki), Youngsta, N-Type, Distance and Skream and more.

Kryptic Minds have recently scored nominations in several categories of the ‘Dubstepforum Awards 2010’. The LP ‘One of Us’ taking 2nd place for ‘Best Album’ (4th place – Best Producer / 9th place – Best Remix / 4th place – Best Mix) and their releasing label ‘Swamp 81’ winning the ‘Best New Label’ category.

Yup! Cheers & peace to all you funksters, in shark costumes, fairy dress and zombie attire who stepped it up in great fashion last Friday. (Strange things you wear to work/uni!!!) The flying sets by YAO & Manila girl Liquid A were oozing soul and cool, as you know.

Just like the week before, some of you gangstas just didn’t want to leave when the music stopped… but THAT’S WHY we start at 8pm ~ simply come down earlier for the next one! Here – make this your mantra for the week “must go to SSS early – must enjoy the FULL SONIC STEP SISTERS line-up” (now repeat on loop).

Besides… be reminded that HAPPY HOUR runs until 11pm – yes, that’s 3 hours of drinks specials. And divine Egyptian Mezze and Italian Pizza, plus Shisha pipes are on the menu also. ❤

It’s the grand March finale ~ SSSee you on the dance floor this Friday.

Sonicly yours,
Electronic Mistress

p.s. It’s not kool to walk-in to our FREE event with a 7-11 beer in hand. Come on – grab a drink from the bar at least! Means I can pay my DJs —> and you can continue to vibe out to their wicked beats.
