Redline Dubstars: Dubstep 11th April, Edinburgh Castle

In the brand new surrounds of the freshly renovated Edinburgh Castle Hotel (West Currie St, cnr Gray St) comes the
REDLINE DUBSTARS
DUBSTEP
with a smattering of Grime, 2-Step, Dub and Jungle.

After co-promoting Adelaide's first two Dubstep international DJs Benga and Caspa, the Redline Dubstars give you chance to check out ‘WTF is dubstep’, the sound currently sweeping the globe... Residents Macro, Jayar & Bennie Raw + guests playing on the luscious new main room 12,000 watt sub Turbo-Sound system, and piped through the venue and beer garden.

Live Visuals tbc, projecting throughout the night

FREE ENTRY

$4 pints of draft, $5 spirit mixers/premix
and we are trying to negotiate some
FREE BEER*
+ MORE DRINK SPECIALS TO BE CONFIRMED
plus the DJs have more free drinks than they can handle, so its time to make friends!



DJs keen to play at future Redline Dubstars are invited to come along and bring in mix demos on the night.
The Ed has been revamped by the same crew who turned the East End exchange into the Electric Light Hotel and Producers bar (venue photos to follow) and its got a sweet big beer garden.

Its time to meditate on bass weight!

Giggity giddity!

bout time, the Ed is sweeeeet now, the beer garden is soooo rad!

Nice work
You guys have really put the yards in I hope it pays off.

yeah it'll be cool to bass it out for you cats...
its gonna be great to catch up with people after all the festival madness...
 

yay the ed is a wikkid venue, will be there for sure!

ez bruv brap brap brap trigger fingers in the air. large ups.

Is 12000 watts big?

Ive already heard about this show. Posse in effek rolling in for the bass n beergarden combo

yeah man, 12000 is large... but i have it on good authority that the bassbins use a lot of it, so its heavy bass without being so loud it hurts your ears - its the high freq stuff that damages your hearing you know?

free entry and cheap drinks is a good reason to bring a crew

Really keen for this. Been getting into the dubstep a lot lately.

got any spl dubstep

I'd be keen to hear some Scorn as well.

free beer ?

I don't understand this Turbo-Sound bizzo

does it have random performance stickers and subtitles underneath? 

and neon lights
Turbosound is a brand.

ambo: no havent heard any spl stuff yet. and free beer - we had previously lined up some free beer sessions for the one that was meant to be late last year, trying to do the same for this one...

ive got scorns pack on ohm. dirty bizness. will definitely be dropped on the night. should be a cool night.

I'm well keen on another bass onslaught!!!
Hurry up April!!!

Any room for reggae? How about jungle?

hope to see you there Rob!

Get on it!

I think I might like to go to this

Oh, I'm going. However, if the WHOLE night is dubstep, don't expect me to stay long. Only so much I can stand.

Isn't the Ed a gay bar btw? Or I am out of touch with Adelaide's pub scene?

It was but it's had a makeover apparently.

pretty sure it was

I went there to have lunch with my mother years ago and the food was brought out by a massive trannie

was a bit of a shock

I think the important question here is: Did you invite your Mum out and suggest that place or did she invite you out and suggest that place?

yeah, used to be, but all nicely done up very very recently, fat sound system etc
(didnt you read the opening post at the bottom? )

ps dubstep is the main music of the night with related bits and pieces getting a look in. dont judge an entire genre on my earlier mixes, its as diverse a sound as d&b... keep an eye out for macro & bennie raw's mixes coming soon too...

 

wandered past, were hungry

got a shock

ate food, left

the ed isn't gay anymore, but it's still happy!

or so the sign says. its a great pub, dont worry rob ur ass will be safe! from the men, at least

just wear one of the pink shirts you love then the poofs will def know your not gay

just pondering what vinyl to buy for this. i love vinyl. 

Kode 9 & Space Ape
Kingston VIP

Whats the G O with sound for the beer garden, will you be pumping it through or will there be another set up out the back.

Please dont let it be wasted with no music like it normally is. One of the best beer gardens going!

looks like you have beats in the beer garden

yes yes, this will be cool... basslines galore and hopefully redefining what people class as "dubstep". depending on what they've heard already of course...
gonna be a few surprsises on the night, remixes, local new tunes etc... and a few other special announcements ... *ahem*

check macro on the bassbin THIS thursday on fresh, keep your eyes and ears out for macro's promo mix and mine too, there'll be some cd mixes around on the night and feel free to let us know if you wanted a copy and couldn't get hold of one...
...respect

Vaccine - Breathless [Hotflush]!

thats pretty old now but i love it and play it regularly, the beauty of beatport.

So much fresh shit out at the moment, cant wait to hear it on a big system..... the freshness is so diverse too

I'm getting Vic and Nicole to complain about the noise so they never play dubstep there again!

Muhahahahahahaha! 



Nah, I'm just jealous that there will be decent music coming out that pub for once... When I lived around the corner it was nothing but hard house and other assorted gay music

Good luck with it guys!

aaight, tis true!
its a sound developing and growing damn rapidly, so much stuff worth checking, so little time...

I'm quite keen to go and may bring someone

I would like to hear:
Kode9 + the Spaceape – ‘Kingstown’(vox)/’Kingstown’(dub)
HYP004 (March 2006)
[I am pretty sure this is the track anyway]

sure, it's a colossally chin stroke inspiring tune

but
anyone else like it?

wanna play it?

http://www.kode9.com/
http://www.myspace.com/hyperdub 

im sure mr raw has it. and knowing his skills for dropping a slow track into the mix and keeping things going, there'd be no fear this would regress to a chinstravaganza.
he aint a jukebox though.

woo there is a pub crawl on beforehand, so hopefully i can get some dubstep freaks from that to join me at the ed

BULL FUCKING SHIT!!!!

They are gonna be right there beside me, skankin it up!

Has anyone herd of Compound One. Consists of fracture and somebody? The track Phone call standed out for me.

think its Fracture and Qualifide coming outta the UK.. deep tunes 

Yeah thats the 1.  Their are a few dnb dudes crossing over and doing a bit of dubstep. Breakage, fracture, tech itch just to name a couple.

fracture is a bad boy. makes some rad tunes. breakage has always ripped it too very underated.

might pop in for a beer and check the dubstars.. week before my wedding so be nice to check this.

do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

dubarama will be kicking the night off with sweet dub reggae treats... and we're still looking into the jungle thing. praps to bring the night home

it prob too early but approx set times? i love the reggae sounds!

yeah way too early for that.

grabd ya promo mix from inbound Jayar. Some super heavy bass lines in there.

guaranteed dubarama's gonna be hammering the subs from 9pm, that's a given, he got some mad stuff to drop for us !!

macro's and myself's mix will be out this week to early next week me thinks,
will let you all know where we put them, of course inbound will have the major stocks
 over a few other crew i'm planning to get them to, also some there at the Ed on the 11th no doubt,
i don't really mind who's playing when, casue its free and i'll be there all night cause i haven't been out all night for ages !!!!


kingstons a good tune, would you be up for hearing this kode 9 hyperdub mash called "skeng" ?

>>http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF1296488-02-01-01.mp3

if not, i'm sure james got the hyperdub goods you really looking for, he's got quite a few proper uk dubstep vinyls, i'd ask that man mang
 

cross-thread post

this night is going to be a good cross section of the sound for sure. waiting with keen interest to hear yours and bennie promo mixes!




@ maka - cheers man, glad you like

just ordered a nice cart of filth from chemical

I gave a good mate the Plastician Feb 08 'wake up call' mix on a CD for his car Yesterday.

He informed me approximately 1 hour later that he loves dubstep and intends to attend this event, he remembered seeing posters around.

thanks audio opticon

What's a twelve year old got to do to listen to some Dubstep on a 12kw soundsystem with a few mates

Great to listen to some quality music on a quality system  , I'm stuck with a 200watt system .

Couldn't stay long enough to hear your part of the mix man, but I'm gonna have to be partying at home from now on since the age restrictions, will come to partys as often as I can (or as often as I can sneak in)

one thing though, someone said it was previously a gay bar, but are you sure it has changed? i'm not too sure that it has to be honest...
[/quote]


  Yeah, I couldn't figure out if guys were checking me out, or checking out my dress sense  

Was an awesome night, too bad I was too   to capitalise on the   Congrats on the turn out!!

My Shit was poor... sorry about that, totally shambolic, too many new tunes dropped pure heaters but... bigup the stamina cru at the end vybzing to cutty ranks and herve ;D - and god bless cutty... every shit DJs saviour!!!

What happended to 4am close tho... I was all ready to buss slow jamz for an hour 



Out to the guy at the start, bitching 45secs into my first tune... I'm sorry but if u cant get down to this;

[video: www.youtube.com]

Flipped into a rap beat - complete with 808s and Gucci Mane sample, you just don't like music!!!

i agree, some fine selections there mate and a HUGE big ups for dropping Caspa & Rusko - Jahova! easily my favourite dubstep track - it was fucking great to hear it on a 12k soundsystem

Does that surprise you though? Shall I remind everyone......

image not archived: dubstep2.jpg

but it wasn't gay dudes that were there, it was lesbians...some of the chicks there had broader shoulders than most rugby players 

Are you sure they're lesbians and not pre-ops/post-ops?

cheers Jayar
What an awesome turn out!! Great to see so many peeps out supporting dubstep...
Popped my dubstep cherry and what can I say OMG!! I have always been a huge fan of the deep bassline so I was truly in my element. Cant stop listing to that promo mix now Jayar
The Edinburgh castle hotel, what an appropriate venue, the new decor seems to really go with the tunes I thought LOL
A most interesting night indeed...
Got some good pics, they should be up on ITM soon.


bring on the next one!!

So, from what I am reading, there was a distinct lack of women there?

where,
in adelaide?
*ccgh* yes we call it thee sex ratio  ummhay

We had fun n my mates were vibin off it to, massive nite. Respect to all who did this! I hope for another 1 soon~~ but not b4 exams!!
Sets of teh nite go to Macro and Jayar, heavyness in very diffrnent ways. I missed much of BennieRaw bein outside but cld still hear it ok, nice n rollin.
Th sound was big, not like Casper big, but still rumbling. Tuneage was sweet from Go, but left durin the last guy, tired and smashed.

How much herb was blazin out th back???
I mustve been lookin in wrong plaecs cos I saw no lessies.






I realis now that your his girl, but did you not see peopel leave th floor durin that set? Not only was it so heavy so early, agian (For the third time) i didn hear a single beatmtached mix!! I dont DJ, but I know the diffrence and 1 mate who does mix hiphop said straiht up that "he just mixes across in the break and not in time". I wondred if this were just a dubstep thing, but th other DJ's WERE mxing!!!!
It didn sound as bad as for Casper, but still is very un-flowing an we weren't the only crew who picked that up.

I wasn't there so I can't comment on the mixing, but personally I'd be more likely to stay on the dancefloor if it was heavy early on.

Me being his gf hasn’t got a thing to do with my opinion  …   so smarten up sunshine

I saw no one leave the floor in the manner you are suggesting, all I saw was people gettin down to the harder tunes .. that is his style, the promoters no that and that was the time he was given..

I am definitely the most critical person towards my own bf and I obviously disagree…

You totally can have your opinions, but some other peeps were appreciating him and what he did.. you just seem to always hate

So there ya go the ‘girl’ has spoken her mind..  geez if he was a shit as you say I wouldn’t even let him play at our own shows!
 

Pics are up;

Mad love to all.

looks fine...  photographers can't be everywhere but
i'm not that fussed whether the ratio of guys to girls is exact at this or any night, it was about music, catching up with mates, drinks, chats and turning a few to ash ( 'nah mean )... anyone who didn't rock up due to the whole " is the place still a ghey thing " were probably better off not going perhaps ?
there were no fights, no-one i knew got groped or whatever... maybe we should try another one at another venue and see if hater's and the like have anything to drag on about then ? * yawn *

there were a few obvious absences, despite that it was free entry, but that's cool, mates with families and properties to look after etc...
and downloads / cds of mixes has helped to quench bassline thirsts, some people may have chilled at home, no major, it's a kinda of music that is good for that too...

can't say the sound was handled well by me, too much top end i was told, i apologise for any rude frequencies i caused, serato is fun by the way, cheers macro !! love mixing vinyl !!

hard style early works, but there still needed to be more bass in that system,  was liking all the sets for all there own uniqueness and diversity of tune selection, stella on tap, huge beer garden, plenty of room in the corridors to get form one spot to the other, and smiles ...

thanks to all who could make it in on friday, being that it was a normal work day, and some cats had to work saturday and still popped in for a couple of hours

at the end of the day, i appreciate reading about what people thought of anything on the night, the people that were there of course, i read it and learn from it and use it to better the things i get asked to do  ( mixing, time slot i get allocated, tracks etc ), so the next one i help out in, hopefully, has your thoughts and opinions taken into consideration... regardless of who's bf or gf is who's
cheers

Def needed more bass!!!

Turnout was great, but 400 of 500 there for the tunes might be a bit exagerated.

went n sussed it out for an hour or so... some nice chilled tunes. Was expecting heaps more from the sound system tho, needed way more mids and a bit more bass for my liking. Good show tho, def gonna suss out the next one 

argh dam! I thought i got out of all the photo's of this night.

I'm down on the venue! I dont think you can get better. I'm also down with the odd lesso, make's all the shit boy's look that little bit better! 

Obviously a few people felt a bit out of place not being in the same place they go each weekend for the same shit!

Open your eyes, a few gayer's never hurt anyone!

I can't fault the night! Except the getting so smashed at home part, that was a bad idea!

Unfortunately the dj they had the week before blew the standard subs they use which are 2 x Double 12" 1200w each turbosounds which, for that room are excellent, the replacements brought in are 2 x single 15" 900W each and unfortunately have a really long throw on them meaning the sub actually sounded better by the main bar than in the room. Still punchy but not punchy enough, i agree.

the words from the manager of the joint himself (all i can assume is that he's comparing it to normal nights?) apparently it was one of the biggest shows theyve had since opening.

and yeah, we were a little unhappy about the blown subs, still nicer than plenty of adelaide venues, but hopefully it will be fixed by next time.



  anyone else see driller there checkin out the bass?
image not archived: abn.sized.jpg

i thought that was your dad

Haha good old driller. Had some messy nights at Sugar that's for sure.

prick


look chicks!

image not archived: acb.sized.jpg

though i look like im picking my shnoz

yeah i heard one of the front of house speakers go during my set  , i had the eq's down so low cause i was trying my best to maximise that bass, only so far you can go.
   As for the numbers ? at least 70-100 out in the beer garden at any one time,
close to 50 in the front bar area, another 50 moving around - times by two "shift changes",
   ie, the crowd that was there early and left early, the crowd that was there late and left late...
   makes about 400, the estimate goes by the amount of cats that checked it, not the amount that were there at any one time i reckon, which may have been closer to 200-250.

 but anyway, that wasn't the objective... 40 cats could've rocked up and it would've been fine with me....
    adelaide needs a localised, free or cheap entry opportunity to check some music that hasn't really had much of a look - in.
every week or at least once a year , there's a chance to any style around town, me knowing a mini-fraction of the crew in this town and living/growing up here, thought this kinda thing works for dubstep / bassline music.. there were hip hop, techno, house, drum and bass and garage heads there on friday last, partly cause they knew they might be into it and cause they knew where to get the info on it.

   hope all who rocked up had a good night,
   thanks again,
keep an eye out in the dubstep thread for more bass line bits

Wha? Where did i say i ws hatin???

All i said was I didn hear any beatmatching and SOME people left th floor.


Do yo know what I mean when I say "Beatmatching" or beatmixing??? zilch hatin here, but its a preety regular thing that DJ's do an people WILL know n hear this!!

If I left the floor it was usually when I went outside to talk to Cleasc or Jayar, can't talk around there .

Anyway, none of the tunes when I was there sounded like they weren't properly beatmatched and you could dance to it easy.

If you cant beatmatch, then learn. If you cant learn fucking give up and sell your decks. Become a producer or something. I got no problem with producers who cant mix. At least theyve still got talent. IMO

oh yeah, forgot to apologise for the lack of 'live visuals'
we had a VJ lined up and it fell through

What about the projector 

ooh wish i coulda gone! bet it was fun. next time, gadget!
