BASSFACE L.A

featuring

SUPER SPECIAL GUEST T.B.A

An old friend join’s us for what promises to be one of the most epic BASSFACE’S yet! All I can say right now is get your ticket quick and come thru cos this  it’s gonna be BANANA’S! All will be revealed…and you will not be disappointed!

JAKES 
(Hench, Bristol U.K)

The party Anthem maker, Bassbin crusher and “Fire-alarm starter” as he’s known in these here parts! Jake’s has forged an incredible career over many years across the globe working alongside such acts as EZ-Rollers, Roni Size, Pendulum and TC before departing on the solo mission and forming Hench Recordings. Papa ‘Ench, as mans call him back home, is a sonic wizard and that ain’t no lie. Responsible for building the toon “Jewel” amongst countless others (that has become the Pure Filth Soundsystems mandatory Soundcheck record) Jakes don’t mess about when it comes to Bass. Just how serious is he? Get on that dancefloor and find out…DEEP ain’t the word, man sinks ship’s like the TITANIC with his B-lines, you don’t believe me?! You better ask somebody!

TEEBS 
(Brainfeeder, L.A)

Quickly rising up the rank’s in the Brainfeeder camp, the soft spoken Teebs is an artistic force to be reckoned with in the world of electronica (or whatever they’re calling it these days…oh yeah MUSIC). His latest on Brainfeeder stays on rotation in the whip, in the ipod, on the lappy and now finally we get to hear him on the Filth Rig Proper. Excited.

PUREFILTHSOUND
 (Pure Filth LA)

Sam & Dave linked up about a year ago while both working at the Ninja tunes 20 year anniversary party in L.A. After bunning down a couple of hoons, the two Brit’s started chatting and it became apparent that they shared alot of similar music history. Next thing you know they’re in the studio and “crash, bang, whallop” they’ve knocked out an album! After first hearing it Lemon D @ Valve Sound U.K classified it as “Footwork Bass” and then his son called it “Basswork.” We’re not really sure what to call it, but we do know one thing, it definitely has lots of Bass and seems to work well at moving feet! You make your own mind up tho! Please join us as we welcome the brand new PUREFILTHSOUND.

RAS G
 (Poobah Recs, Brainfeeder L.A)

Mr. Airhorn is in the building! Ras is a personal favorite of the Pure Filth crew as he always tests the system. Most soundboy’s probably tremble when he takes the stage but not here @ Filth H.Q, we ain’t skurred! Droppin’ some of the most deep and deadly subs this side of the Atlantic (and Pacific) Ras is sure to get the building shaking…and we’re not exaggerating! When you hear the airhorn’s you know it’s on and crackin’, so buckle up and get yourself locked in, Ras is pon deck and the party is fittin’ to begin! Alllllllllll Raaaaaaaas!!!

SWEATSON KLANK aka TAKE
 (Poobah Recs, L.A)

Taking a break from the lab Tom joins us in the midst of penning his new album on his own brand new imprint “TONE & MANOR.” Expect to hear nothing but the freshest sounds from Take’s latest endeavor and alter ego SWEATSON KLANK. A veteran of the scene Tom has traveled the globe peddling his heavy hip-hop swagger and Low end subsonics at many of the world’s top festivals. Receiving support from radio luminaries like Mary Anne Hobbs and Gilles Peterson on diverse labels such as Warp, Eat Concrete and Poobah,  Sweatson Klank (Take) has a solid following and musical foundation and has ripped it pon the Pure Filth rig several times. Make sure to keep an eye and ear out for the one like SWEATSON KLANK!

MONO-POLY
 (Brainfeeder, L.A)

The socio-economic-political and psychedelic Bakersfield beat commander MONO/POLY makes his debut @ BASSFACE and we’re super hyped. Showing that “it’s not where you’re from but where you’re at”  Charles toons are super dope, super deep, hella clean and heavy as an SUV. As a kid he grew up hanging around his Dad’s studio set-up toying around with old Korg’s (thus the name MONOPOLY) and Roland keyboard’s. He really liked the Juno 106 and it sounds to me from listening to his tunes that the Sine Wave switch particularly caught his attention! Obviously the Korg won out on the cooler name although Juno is dope too, either way, please join us as we welcome Charles Dickerson aka MONO/POLY!

DEF SOUND
 (L.A)

I was first introduced to Def Sound while checking out an interview of Flying Lotus on the Gilles Peterson show. On the show Gilles had a quick chat with Emmanual “Def Sound” who made mention of a free download of one of his tracks. I downloaded the track and was blown away. The song was called (A)Gain and while listening I was suddenly transformed back into the golden age of hip-hop…of a Tribe called Quest and the Brand Nubians, of Dela Soul and the Jungle Brothers. A time when things weren’t so serious and it wasn’t all about the slackness bravado of “bitches, drugs and guns.” Who was this guy and how the hell was he from L.A but I’d never heard of him? After further investigation I am so happy he can join us @ BASSFACE. He’s been on my regular rotation for a minute now and I hope you get him on yours too…Def Sound a Big Sound!

KONE
  (Alphapup, L.A)

KONEY DANZA aka KONAN THE UPSTARIAN is fresh off his recent release of his long player “Tractatus” on Alpha Pup. He is a mainstay of the blooming underground L.A beat scene having spent the last several years putting on parties, releasing his own music, and steadily remixing a vast array of artists. Easy going and relaxed by nature his infectious beats and melodies are sure to draw you in and get you moving. You can catch KONE at his monthly residency every 4th Thursday at the Verdugo Bar in Glassell Park, along with legendary Detroit DJ and producer House Shoes and long-time collaborator Fat Albert Einstein. We can’t wait to have KONE firing through our Pure Filth Bass Cone’s and boomin’ through the system!

MOTHERSHIP COLLECTIVE (L.A)

The Los Angeles underground Funk collective keep the mixes coming fast and furious. If you have been keeping up on the boldly decorated yellow envelopes getting passed out at Low End Theory over the years then you already know, if you haven’t then you need to step through and get to know…These cats don’t play!  Pure Filth is very excited to have these fella’s step through and bless the system. The MOTHERSHIP lands in downtown Friday Dec 23rd, be there to experience it!

RELAPSS and HOMAGE (Pure Filth, L.A)

Coming with the heavy dubstep roots vibration, these two selectah’s are really starting to step into there own both as Dj’s and producers. Making their Bassface debut, show the Pure Filth soundboy’s some love pleeeeeeeeeeeez!
