| Description: | CARTEL THURSDAYS PRESENT: APPLEBLIM (SKULL DISCO/APPLE PIPS/TEMPA) - UK WITH RESIDENTS: LAZERFACE (AUFECT/PHILTH KIDS) LIVING~STONE (DIG.IT.AL) VIPOND (DIG.IT.AL) Sometime in 2007 a subsection of dubstep broke cover and headed off in a new direction. Starting in Bristol, it shot over the Channel and headed for the middle ground between itself and Berlin, to unite in a shared love of Jamaican bass, delay and space with a little Detro...it groove. While currently and originally a Bristolian, Appleblim spent some time in London in ‘94. It was to prove influential: “‘the one’ really,” as he himself puts it, in his usual enthusiastic tone. “We just caught the bug: listening to the radio, finding out what was going on and picking up our first jungle tunes.” Like many of dubstep’s pioneers, be it Loefah, Burial or Kode9, Appleblim had caught the jungle bug and through it, developed a love of dub, bass and dark spaces that would keep him in good stead later. He learned to mix on a mate’s set of decks but thought little more of it. In fact the world might not have known more of Appleblim were he have not discovered a club called Forward>> At the beginning of 2007, Appleblim, like many of the headz who have attended the club religiously only to turn into participants, got asked to play at the very space that had inspired him and Shackeleton, Forward>>. “It’s very strange going from being a raver who was there obsessively down the front to going tosomeone standing behind the decks. It’s definitely an honour: I’ve had countless epiphanies down there, so if I can give people a few of those then that’s my job done.” Perhaps techno, like hardcore, will never die. Early dubsteppers were as influenced by it as the UK garage scene the genre grew out of, be it Horsepower and El-B’s love of Basic Channel, Artwork’s blatant Jeff Mills influence on “Basic G” or the warm tech of DJ Abstract’s “Touch.” But certainly the case that Detroit and Euro techno’s influence on dubstep had at least moved to the background before Appleblim and friends began to gather momentum. Now an entire sub-movement seems to be gathering pace underneath the dubstep umbrella. The boundaries between dubby techno and techy dubstep seem to have dissolved. The critical question is, however, will the upshot be more than or less than the sum of its parts? Are we headed for “dubstep” sets that are little more than rigid 140bpm techno? Will it become totally clean formless e-lead headspace, with the edge, the rude awakening of the urban bass injection lost? Appleblim is unconcerned. “I think there’s a lot of genre blurring going on,” he explains “and there is a sort of a danger that it will become 140bpm techno, but the answer is [that] it needs to retain some funk and swing. Having said that I try to just view great music as great music, and always have, so that I might play a tune by a ‘dubstep’ producer that sounds essentially like a ‘techno’ tune... in the end, if it moves you it moves you...” “I wanted the mix to be a representation of what I play in the clubs, a mixture of unreleased exclusive dubplates and some big tunes that I helped to break... I was amongst the first to play [some of] these tunes out, and wanted to give more exposure to tracks that I really think are phenomenal.” Discography RELEASES I Am Animal / Mystikal Warrior (12") Skull Disco 2005 Majestic Visions (12") Skull Disco 2006 Soundboy's Bones Get Buried In The Dirt Volume 2 (12") Skull Disco 2006 Soundboy's Ashes Get Chopped Out And Snorted (12") Skull Disco 2007 Dubstep Allstars: Vol.06 (CD, Mixed, Comp) Tempa 2008 Over Here (Remixes) (12") Apple Pips 2008 RA.110 (File, MP3, Mixed, Pod) Resident Advisor REMIXES If Alone EP (12", EP) Aus Music 2009 TRACKS APPEAR ON Soundboy Punishments (2xCD) Skull Disco 2007 ATM Worldwide Issue 77 Mix CD (CD, Mixed) ATM Magazine 2008 Soundboy's Gravestone Gets Desecrated By Vandals (2xCD) Skull Disco 2008 Soundboy’s Gravestone Gets Desecrated By Vandals (2xLP) Skull Disco 2008 Round Black Ghosts 2 (CD, Comp, Dig) ~scape 2009 Soundboy's Ashes Get Hacked Up And Spat Out In Disgust EP Skull Disco 2008 |
