Trouble & Bass: DZ, Kanji Kinetic

The DJ team/production mob/record label known as Trouble & Bass are earning worldwide recognition for their diverse yet cohesive coalition of low-end professionals. They have a high-BPM, movement centric approach to the heavy and grimey spectra of dubstep and drum n' bass that fills rooms with people who battle the thick sounds with wild movement. Their membership spans the globe and includes AC Slater, Mikix The Cat, Star Eyes, Drop The Lime and Supra 1.

Headlining the bill is DZ, whose foundation in hip-hop and trip-hop took on a sound of its own once dubstep became the prominent element of his sound. He remains a devious remixer of an unpredictable repertoire of artists including the Wu-Tang Clan, Major Lazor and Bobby Caldwell.

Kanji Kinetic, who normally reps the Trouble & Bass banner in the UK, will get trans-Atlantic with his bizarre, wobbly, and glitchy tambours. His dense arrangements feature the temporal manipulation of bass into a bizarre yet oddly catchy and physical melody.
