Checkpoint

About Me


From the collected talents of Dubbers Anonymous, the Drones Club and Mazaj comes a new night of experimental electronics and dubstep (and points somewhere in the vicinity) combining into an analogue/digital mashup of pan-Arabist beats and bass pressure.
The opening night of Checkpoint was in Nevember 2007; the follow-up will be once more at The Others, 6-8 Manor Road, London N16 5SA, from 8pm until late on Saturday 26 January 2008.
Live onstage:
Dajjah - "arabist cleft-step noise-dubb" featuring hQi and weave of MazaJ Sound System, whose two sets of mashup mania rocked the house in November.
Platform five(5) - motorik groove merchants who've been up to no good in various parts of the South East for a couple of decades, and featuring members of the Stëllä Märïs Drönë Örchësträ, entropy Circus, Raagnagrok, Drift Of Signifieds and the mysterious Chunt. This time around they'll be wielding massed analogue synths and drum machine motorikrhythms. "The time for excuses is over"
plus hefty chunks of dubstep, electronics and distended rhythms from DJ Cowthief + DJ Hissface (Dubbers Anonymous) + DJ Tango-Mango (Drones Club / Kosmische Club)
There will once again be a lightshow courtesy of Lightning Rod of Bubblevision .
