ONEMAN 09/01-11

its close and personal... seriously fresh... and a perfect finish to the weekend after datsik.


Oneman plays a lot of old tunes, an exception in a scene obsessed with the perpetual "moving forward never backwards" motion of dubplate culture. It's a kind of an unwritten rule but by and large to become a big DJ in dubstep you need either two things:An incredible arsenal of new dubplates, or a talent for production such that you have, well, an incredible arsenal of new dubplates. But recently a DJ has managed a steep climb up the scene's ranks without either.He is DJ Oneman.Amongst the immense respect bestowed onto him by his peers through the dubstep scene, DJ Oneman remains the only artist ever to appear on Mary Anne Hobb's BBC Radio 1 show without releasing a single record.He has almost singlehandly re-invented old school garage - taking theart of djing to a new level.

BLAH BLAH BLAH, brisbanes only solid broken beat festival was absolute gold..
from what i hear every tent was amazing and seriously intense by the time the finish was near.... naturally i spent most of the day at the dubthug stage, right till the very end when i though my head was going to explode. and even tho the aged pioneer cdj's for some reason didnt want to play any of excision's cd's from the past 6 months, the crowd still lost the plot .. it felt like taking 1 foot under the tent would have u unwillingly absorbed into the 50 degree sweat pit and quickly launched above the crowd.. unless of coarse u jump onto it like some of us..

to have excision and freq nasty as the headliners for the dubthug & jungalette stage
was again 1 of the highlights to the first 6 months in the life of the dubthugs and there friends..


the local & interstate talent were again very impressive with special thanks to illicit, affiks, profesa & arctic , de la hey & deep space

DUBTHUG RESIDENTS

and the dubthug with the most important follow up sets in town!!! dj'ing after every main act on the throwdown.....


ARCTIC
From Birmingham, UK, comes one half of the Gamblers, a heavy weight dubstep/grime collaboration with his brother, Harvest (massive up and coming drum &bass producer). Cranking out tunes on the regular whilst touring Australia, Arctic has been flying between Melbourne & Brisbane for regular sets throughout 2010, whilst bouncing fresh tunes back and forth between his bro back home in England.
Not long after moving to Australia, Arctic became resident for Brisbane crew DubThugs, whom knew full well the potential this kid had on offer..oh my, there was deliverance. Arctic is part of the driving force that is DubThugs and the Audio Abuse parties, bringing main room dubstep and grime to the forefront of Brisbane’s growing scene.
Throughout the night, Arctic covers all areas which define the English underground - dubstep, grime, funky & future garage. However, it’s the bangers made on his laptop and the fresh tunes sent from back home that will have the crowd covered in sweat and screaming for more ear damage.
Expect dubs from both the Gamblers and plenty of his own material, some of which receiving radio play on stations such as rinse fm & sub.fm, also supported by the likes of Crissy Criss, Funtcase, Trolley Snatcha…to name a few.
Prepare for an epic array or pure filth, guttah, funky noize and beats, keeping you skankin till the lights come back on at 5:00am…you’ll want to fight the bouncer just so you can hear one more tune…
