| Description: | Forward started in the summer of 2008 as platform to promote underground electronic music, filling the absence of a weekly rendez-vous for the alternative club scene. Originally thought out to be a hosting ground for drum’n’bass, jungle, breaks and dubstep, Forward grew and evolved into a night made to showcase a wide array of genres and scenes working with a variety of different crews and artists such as Loetech, Sixtoo, DZ, Datsik, Spor and Plastician, to name a few. Dubstep remains a central focus but Forward is also about bringing people of different musical backgrounds together to open their minds to different styles. By inviting over 75 different guest djs on the span of the last year, Forward gets people to enjoy and discover new artists. Forward is David Rawalia aka Wally, a dj who has been mastering his craft since 2003 and more recently producing his own unique sounds. After promoting rave culture and sound and organizing a multitude of one-off all-nighters, he moved on to the dubstep scene taking full-part in the forward weekly as well as participating in other events such as soma and bassdrive. Forward music is also Rhys Taylor but he will be in Mexico for three weeks while we freeze our asses in Monreal... Dialect will be replacing him because Forward loves dialect. ***************** THIS WEEK ***************** Forward is proud to present one of the dubstep pioneers, straight from the UK: SYNKRO (uk) [ www.myspace.com ] Making his name primarily through his dubstep/two-step output, SYNKRO effortlessly transcends electronic genres with his brand of deep bass driven music, hot stepping between 140 and 170bpm with a wide range of thoughtful and, at times, beautifully delicate sounds. His music is has received massive support from Rinse FM, BBC Radio 1, D-Bridge, Instra:mental, Z-Audio, Hospital Records/Hospitality, TRG, Ruckspin, Mary Anne Hobbs, Med School, N-Type, Martyn, Ben UFO, Reso, Rusko, The Others, Darkside & Indigo. DJing everywhere from Manchester to Poland, London to Belgium and Cardiff to the USA. The future is bright for Synkro! ************ SPECIAL SUPRISE GUEST THIS WEEK! KING CANNIBAL (UK/Ninja tune) [ www.myspace.com ] 2006 saw ‘ZILLA’ (a.k.a King Cannibal) going back the lab and perfecting his twisted new sound, an industrial take on dancehall, dubstep & drum n bass. Demos and material started to leak out and with tunes receiving massive support from Amon Tobin (Ninja Tune,) Kid 606, Combat Recordings and Rag And Bone Records. 2008 looks set to be a year of true Cannibal Carnage due to massive radio support in the form of the recent BBC Radio 1 Scorn Vs King Cannibal Soundclash Special and Aragami Style receiving HEAVY rotation on Mary Anne Hobb's Experimental show , planned collaborations with Bong-Ra, remixes for The Qemists ft Wiley, Ghislain Poirier, Scorn and Ebola his EP on Bong Ra's Kriss Records and appearances at numerous festivals all squeezed around the recording schedule for King Cannibal's debut LP for his proud new home, Ninja Tune. *************** w/ local support from Ghostbeard (ninja tune) Previously known as W.I.G, The Notorious W.I.G, and various other monikers throughout the years, 2007 saw the latest and hopefully last rebranding of one Jeff Waye into the man called Ghostbeard (despite basing a name around facial hair guaranteeing he can no longer shave... he has no regrets...) By day Jeff is one of the owners/label manager of Ninja Tune Records and oversees it’s North American operations, although his DJ career started well before taking on that role 13 years ago... Having started out way back in the early 90’s Montreal rave days, he was one of the go-to DJ’s for the “2nd room”. After a year or so of trying to compete with the room bleed from the main room on sub-par after-thought sound-systems, heady ambient records gave way to hip-hop/jazz/funk and the ol’ jungle records played on 33 trip out. Taking over the Ninja Tune helm in 1996 offered him various spots with lots of visiting artists, and the Ninja Tune aesthetic of playing a wide range of eclectic music through a set started to influence things more and more through the years. These days however, ever since adopting the Ghostbeard moniker, Jeff really just wants to play reggae, dancehall, jungle, dub-step, and all things ragga-related... Sure he’s got other jams on hand and will swing that way if need be, but it’s rare he has to... Having dealt with a wide range of classic reggae and dub labels at previous distribution jobs, been a buyer for some of the first jungle labels out of the UK, held down a reggae/dub night residency, and setting his credit card on fire every week with on-line dancehall 7” purchases, his collection runs deep and nerdy...but most importantly dancefloor rocking. “how can snowman bring the fire” you ask? Come out, watch it blaze, and see for yourself... ************* *********** Hosts Wally and special temporary replacement resident Dialect will warm up the place with ill beats. 8$ presale @ -moog audio: 3828 St-Laurent -atom heart: 364 Rue Sherbrooke Est 12$ door Passeport 2037 Saint-Denis |
