HOW SOME OF D&B's BIGGEST ARE GETTING DUMB.




















Unless you've been living under a rock somewhere off the coast Patagonia, you've surely been exposed to the electro/rock/indie/dancerock movement that has been erupting across the globe. Artists and labels like Justice, MSTRKRFT, LA Riots & Ed Banger Records are pioneering this movement with explosive results. The scene, get dumb and dance. Its home bases? France, NYC & Los Angeles. The format? Blogs.

The great thing about the genre is that many of the players in the American scene keep duel residencies in both electro & drum and bass. Artists like Ewun(Kill the Noise), Evol Intent(Treasure Fingers),Orion & Daniel(LA Riots),Terravita(Hot Pink Delorean)and many more have been transitioning back and forth pulling ideas from both and creating a sound that is totally unique to the genre.

It's also incredible seeing some of these artists who are known for the darkest of the dark in drum and bass, come with the most soulful disco tripped out dancefloor get dumb vibes around.



We got a chance to sit down with JOB aka Orion aka Edison Gem aka LA RIOTS over the weekend to ask him whats its been like eating green eggs and ham.
















WB: So when did you get your start in drum and bass, and what are your influences in that genre?

LA RIOTS: I got into dnb in the late 90s. Seeing ltj bukem in Greensboro in '99 inspired me to start writing it. I'm still really into the atmospheric dnb sound of that time, I almost always have one of the progression sessions mixes close by.

WB: When did you make the transition into electro/indie/rock and how did that all come about?

LA RIOTS: I got into electro earlier this year. My friend Daniel, the other half of LA Riots, was djing all over LA and I started coming out to some of the events. He suggested we try to get some tracks together and things really took off quickly from there.



WB: What comparisons or differences do you see between the two genres? Do they feed off each other?

LA RIOTS: Its good seeing some of the dnb producers making the jump to electro. Its almost an opposite mindset to dnb, which makes it a lot of fun to write. The genre is wide open right now too, I don't think it even has a clearly defined genre title whereas dnb has named out every niche, which allows you as an artist a lot of new ways to be both creative and relevant. Plus anyone who can produce and DJ good dnb is at an advantage in nearly every other electronic music genre, this one especially since its so new. There's a brand new electronic music audience and a whole new generation of DJs/producers that are latching onto it. Those that have been through drum & bass boot camp can move up quickly. I don't know about dnb as a whole but i'm seeing the electro influence starting to show up in a few ways in LA dnb, not so much directly related to the music but more in how its being promoted,like this blog for instance. Its hard to ignore something so massively successful going on in your own city.



WB: Whats your opinion on the whole blog release phenomenon vs. actual vinyl or CD product as a standard medium?

LA RIOTS: As an artist you can work it to your advantage. We started off by giving away a lot of our music for free on the blogs and it helped get us out there quickly. Now blogs are ripping the clips of our tracks off of myspace the day we put them up. Its great promotion. The people in this scene are really paying attention to what's going on and the blogs are a huge influence. Also, the blogs giving music away will probably be the end of a lot of lower-quality labels and releases, as people will only want to pay for what's worth it. Having a release in this scene means something.

SOL:ID from FOKUZ TO INFINITY












Based in Houston, Texas, Sol:ID has taken influence from the subtle forms of d&b and made it his own. With a laid back non-intrusive sound, Sol:ID has begun his drum and bass career on the atmospheric/funk label Fokuz Records. Releases like "Its All About the Girl" have been smashed and received remixes from top producers like Lomax. Sol:ID's tracks have also been rinsed repeatedly by heavyweights like London Elektricity, Fabio & more...
Sol:ID has blessed us with "SLIDE" featuring Cle Torres & Hoja. A smooth roller, "Slide" takes us out on a date with strings and moody vox.

INVADERZ INVADING





Any Junglist worth their salt should remember The Invaderz releases on labels such as Metalheadz, CIA, Commercial Suicide and, of course, their own Invaderz Transmissions imprint, and it’s the latter which is back from a brief hiatus with a pair of ridiculously fresh releases.
Taking the horns of the remix bull on INV012 are some veritable giants in the production game. First up man of the moment Break lets it happen with a nifty reworking of ‘The Source’ while on the flip DJ Marky, XRS & Bungle get jiggy on The Invaderz’ ‘So Low’, turning it into a slick and melodic roller. Newcomers Concept & Shnek get cracking on the next 12” with ‘Bad Conscience’ b/w ‘Watertheme’ their own brand of dancefloor funk shining through and showing precisely why these boys are getting attention from all corners right now.

Look out for plenty more Invaderz Transmissions action in the near future!

"URBAN THEME"

The ever intimate French connection known as Redeyes is busy at work on a new chunk of tunes, and word has it he’s starting on an album as well, but you didn’t hear that from us. And for who, we can’t say just yet, you’ll have to wait and see. Keeping it ever sleazy, Redeyes flexed his French flare this year on labels like Bingo, Creative Source & Brigand. The Harlem influenced “Pusherman” gained incredible momentum ‘round the world and Redeyes was instantly thrust into the spotlight where he was able to openly explore his signature sound that is, “Drum and Blaxsploitation”.

A wealth of other tunes circulated on dubplate & vinyl release this year including the moody melodies of “About to Change” and the sultry groove of “Seconds of Pleasure” featuring French counterpart Peyo. Redeyes has done the world a bit of good by providing us with visual music. Westbay Blogs brings you, Redeyes “Urban Theme

Fresh off his album release, we caught up with Makoto to see how living filthy rich on a tropical island is treating him... Glamorous as predicted. Just kidding. Actually Makoto has taken a short break from drum and bass to pursue other mediums of music output and this has landed him in the hands of Sony Play Station 3, scoring for the next Gran Turismo. Go Makoto! He also informed us that he is currently working with platinum selling artist Ayumi Hamasaki on some pop music projects. This man doesn’t quit!

Front man for Westbay Recordings Atlantic Connection comes with somthing slightly different than what were used too. "Heed the Dub" is some 130bpm sluggish thuggish'ness. Not quite dubstep, not quite downtempo, AC comes with somthing inbetween (An approach hes beginning to be well known for). Spaced out drums accompany hauntingly distant paino riffs while dirty bass samples glitch and rumble from below.

"THROW THE SWITCH"

Kicking off the Westbay Blogspace is a resident with the Westbay Recordings camp who comes in the form of "Legacy". A rather jumpy number "Throw The Switch" is apparently about dancefloor mayhem and getting straight to the point. Big drums, big bass, loud samples in the place.
