Dubstep is primarily the domain of UK lads making wobbly bass music in darkened bedrooms and basements. But if there was ever an Aussie who had a chance of breaking into the dubstep clique, it would be Perth's Maaike Kito Lebbing, better known as Kito. What makes it even more exciting is that it's a female dubstep producer who looks like infiltrating the boys' club. Kito's reputation as a world-class beats maker is spreading across the globe, and it's undeniable that Kito's music is just as good as anything coming out of the UK. In fact, I'm willing to put it out there and say that Kito is the best dubstep producer in the country right now. And she's only 21! Ridonculous...

Kito is without a doubt one the most talented and original up and coming dubstep producers we have heard in a while. Her music has an amazing unique sound, simply beautiful! She has been vividly supported by the best names in the scene amongst which: Skream, Mary Anne Hobbs, D-Bridge, N-Type, to name a few. Keep an eye out for her forthcoming releases on Disfigured Dubz.

It seems the Australian output (and practically every other country's output as well) of dubstep is overshadowed by what's coming out of the UK. With the genre's poster boy, Burial, coming out of England, dubstep perhaps inadvertently has a distinctly British tenor to it. But Kito seems to imbue within the darkness a sense of light and an essence that takes it away from cloudy British skies and towards Perth's interminable brightness. Perhaps it's helped by the processed vocals of the enigmatic Reija Lee, who you may have heard on Shazam's remix of Muscles' 'Sweaty' and ShockOne's 'Polygon'. Her Auto-Tuned and discombobulated voice fits perfectly with the throbbing bass that feels just a split second behind the beat. It's this push-and-pull energy that really attracted me to 'LFO'. 'LFO' is soon to be released on Kito's debut EP, which will be distributed through the esteemed UK label Disfigured Dubz, a label run by UK dubstep legend Skream.

nice one

 

looking forward to this one very much...

Love Kito's take on what she produces and what she plays...

Everyone jump on this one particularly the Ladies Massive and hear Dubstep Djing from a Womans perspective... 

Cargo is limited to 200 by its license so be early or miss out on what will be a great night!!

boh!! 

Kito is true quality, can't wait for this

Please explain?

kito is a woman + she will be djing = djing from a woman's perspective

want me to draw a diagram?

 

No...

Before I tend to fly off the handle on this one, I wanted clarification of what he meant by 'woman's perspective'. Does she play so-called 'girly' stuff?

I love the dark side of music just as much as blokes supposedly do and don't like it whenever guys say shit like 'she-J' and 'she's not bad for a chick' etc. I just don't think that gender norms should categorise people as musicians.

I will step off my soap box now LOL.

no idea

check out her mix and decide for yourself

http://www.adelaidemassive.com/index.php?topic=4124.0

Mkay. Whenever I get 'round to DLing stuff ha!

 Where's my 20% for the 5 families reference

Ohh new venue awesome! Will def try make it out for this

actually its a really really old venue, just hasnt been used for dnb in a while...



had some good nights there: various rumbles (and repertoires), bad co vs loxy + ink, dom, kemal and rob data...

not to mention DMA afterparties  

agreed.. 'womens perspective' hmm I am not down with that comment.

however, this DJ/Producer is very talented so nice to see her playin here 

She'll be DJing from the kitchen...   

cool cool, glad you got this show happening!

am interested to hear her stuff, sounds a little bit different from what ive heard so far!

Firstly my apologies to any of the women posters I have offended by my poor choice of words...

Ive been a long time supporter of women in Adelaide's dance music scene....

There was no offence intended...  There is no intended sexism in my post...

I thought I was merely stating an obvious fact.. Kito is a woman and Kito will be playing music that she selects and fits her musical and peformance perspective which happens to be a woman's perspective... 

Yeah some of her tunes have female vocals but are processed and certainly not cliche...

I find this to be interesting because every single female DJ I have ever heard has had a much different take on what a lot of guys playing the same kind of music would play and how they mix it too...   

If you love your dubstep come to this night.... you wont be disappointed

hope to see you all there...

She's not good for a girl she is just plain good!  
Really fuckin keen to check her out!  

I think if someone says "she's good for a girl" it loosely means she aint great but good on her for giving it a go in a predominantly male industry.  Why is that a bad thing?

Can someone please 'pin' this event??

cheers

events get pinned the week that they are on chief

ahhhhh!!!  where the lightbulb emoticon to insert here please?...

seen....

Ohhhh cool I didn't know that

Hell yes!

This show is going to be A LOT!

She is in my top 2 aus producers if not my top one :P

Not to mention the tight supporting acts.

Are Counterpart and Desh playing b2b or was it written counterpart and desh for gramatic reasons?

yes they are playing b2b. yes grammatic.

Really ? Are you still down with *this comment then? Good to see you may have learnt not to criticise the fairer gender. If not, you also have a shocking memory of your own behaviour
Look, I'll have to side with the female selectors on this and always have. Kemistry, Storm, Suzie Q ( The Sydney drum and bass, not the bass player, but she's also good in her own style of music), Ledz, Chase, Luize and Troub9L just to name a few. For one, Girls KNOW how to dance. Two, they rule the dancefloor on every occasion I've ever been to any club or place where music is being played. Three, they know what works to achieve the Two points i mentioned above and execute this with superb results. But hey, that's just my opinion, and what would i know after spending most of my turntable time at cargo. Where this particular selector, Kito, will definitely bring the goods required to make me feel happy that there are women out there willing to show us ALL how it can be done...I've never been afraid to accept that a woman's perspective is far more soulful and meaningful than a man's, to me anyway, but that's because i've witnessed it time and time again.
Now, who wants to twist my words around, hang on...    ok , go...

 

Just confirmed for the night MC G-Swift...

Gonna be a huge night...

again capacity is 200 so get in early..

boh!

 

Bigupz to the Five Familys! Was just wondering if there was an opening in the Syndicate. I am keen to open a chapter here in Salisbury.
Pm me guys thanks,

                             SeEK.....

Going to see Kito in Melbourne instead coz I will get the double bonus of seeing Spor!! . Big up kito.. enjoy Atown

You can rule with an iron claw!

And you know dis!

i will def be at this, Kito is an awsome dj and a top gal

http://www.zshare.net/download/6436456243651251/

Hope you enjoy

 

Kito is wikid!  Hope this goes off.

Kito was telling me she has lots and lots of fresh tunes for this show. mostly her own 

are tickets still available for this?

tickets on the door $10 before 11pm $15 after. looking to be a big night. some quality music will be on display.

Awesome! well within my price range and I dont even have to be organised enough to pre purchase. Lifes too easy

we aim to please 

 

We know this is early and things may change but these are the proposed dj times at this stage...

1000-1100  Gunda G
1100-0000  Audio Opticon
0000-0100  Macro
0100-0230  Kito
0230-0430  Counterpart b2b Desh
0430-close  All in no holds barred mashup

and of course we have MC G-Swift who absolutely tore it up at Starkey....


   

indeed, always have intended to aswell

T-minus 17 days and counting til Kito drops at Cargo....

Just been listening to the 'Stella Sessions' mix Skream played on Rinse Fm last week...

We are going to be in for a great night...  The tunes Kito has in her dj bag are laaaaaaarge!!!

Do your self a favour and dont miss thins night!!!

 

only a couple of weeks till the girl like kito steps up. 

i grabbed that stella sessions mix last week, fuck me thats some nasty basslines. i must admit, i dont own a single dubstep tune, or even know much about the whole scene, but im def lovin these sounds, and thats what its all about isnt it

Yeah kito was one of the artists who sold me on the DS front.  Starkey is another biggun on my list

Good call here...  I was liking what I was hearing but Starkey for me was the clincher...

Props go to Reso for dropping Kito's smasher 'LFO'... First time Ive heard it played in a set here and certainly
was working well on the dancefloor...

Its less than 14 days until Kito touches down....  Limited capacity at Cargo of 200... $10 before 11pm you cant lose....

boh!!

can i have some flyers and posters please kind sirs?

you sure can ill pop into pleasure fri night you there? or alternatively could leave some at inbound?

Kitos music is amazing. she has worked hard at it. she deserves all the props and then some. and it seems
STARKEY might be back in adelaide come december if all goes according to plan. man killed it when he was here. the peeps that were there know what im on about. and griff complemented his beats so well. fukn a1. but yeah come to kito and here some dark but beautiful muzak.  

yeah drop em at inbound ill head in there on wednesday or tuesday

Sick I love elevator muzak

I was expecting some Kito flyer action @ Reso? not necessarily in the venue but maybe on cars etc, cause there was a good crowd on the wkend

This show is going to be so dope! I seriously am hanging for this already, keeping tunes well hidden from prying ears.... expect the unexpected!

setting the mood like only the macropeed can.   

they will be inbound to inbound around 3.30 tomoro afternoon. cheers chris. 

There were Kito Flyers left where the Rip it Up's and other street press in that 'room' where the video games are as you come thru... Did do a run before I came in.. Dont know how many survived the lovely weather...

Same thing happened Friday night too... Saw plenty of pulpy soggy flyers on the ground.. 

We need a clever Inventor type to come up with a flyer paper/card that doesnt disintegrate so easily

 

dubstep totally on the j-curve in adelaide now, cant wait for kito! totally different end to the spectrum from reso - but thats what i love about DS, stupid amounts of experimentation, diversity and atmosphere.
 

its already been invented. i used to be a printer. plenty of synthetic papers out there mate, just more expensive

ive left some fliers at inbound for you mr counterpart i put your name on them. cheers. also the one like jayar is playing kito's mix on the bassbin on the 10th should be a nice lil teaser.

sweet cheers man. will pick them up tomorrow

funny ish cute, and funny

as posted by counterpart in the pleasure thread: CLOSE @ 1 so we can all get down the road to Kito


and all the peeps at pleasure get in for $10 all night. we highly encourage the continued shenanigans that occur when you combine cheap alcoholic beverages and dubstep. check your pms chris    

ha! was just about to post that lol.

pumped for this, first time in ages for jen and i, and first dubstep gig for the both of us \m/

nice, perfect venue for it too, if anyone's wondering, proper rude and deep basslines first started making their mark at cargo club many ( 13 ) years ago... i'm getting out my old toothbrush and stylin up my new kicks ( if i buy them in time )

cant believe how quickly this has come up. do yourselves a favour check this shit out. 

this is going to be wicked

fuckin yeah fuckin!! pumped for this show

also check out the bassbin on fresh fm thursday 10th sep 10pm local time a nice lil half hour kito mix is incoming. 

So I rock up there on Friday just been, wearing cargo pants, cause it's the cargo club , and they say I'm not allowed in because of the pants !! Fair enough as it was a regular night ( all full moon jokes aside, there was random crazies everywhere, let me tell you  ...) But hows that gonna work this week ? Can someone please make sure it'll be ok ? , planning to wear the same pants ( washed of course !! ) ? cheers

 


we are heading into cargo on wednesday ill see if we cant get the dress code relaxed a lil. 

Fo real?
Surely Cargo's are pretty acceptable attire these days?  Been sooooo long since I've gone somewhere with a dress code like that.   Are sneakers, hoodie and jeans gonna get me through the door?

 

I have already spoken to Management at Cargo and the Door Staff and Security have been
been briefed on the door policy... They know to expect the sort of crowd that used to come for DNB dhows dresswise (it was easier to explain it to them that way)..

So no dramas re cargo pants, sneakers and Hoodies...  All acceptable
 
Only 4 sleeps til Kito...   

Serious Sub Bass action taking over Cargo again for a night of mashed up Dubstep madness...

Limited capacity so be early and be part of a night to remember..


jah bless

woo hoo

I'm wearing pink jeans and a pink polo shirt with the collar popped, should be no hassles getting in i reckon 

white or pink shoes?

maybe a white belt

Studded white belt and pointy white shoes 

...and bring zombie with you

Bahahahaha...... i could bring him in my hand bag/ record bag, what an awesome dj accessory!

I actually had the same thing... sort of...

I stuck my head in last Friday, the bouncer goes "10 bucks tonight mate and do you have any exposed tattoos because that jackets gonna have to come off"

I must have given him the right kind of "WTF" look because he then goes "Uh... hold on let me check", gets the door bitch who looks me up and down and says (to bouncer) "he's alright" (to me) "five bucks"... and signalled to the 'cashier' with an open palm to just charge me 5...

I still don't know exactly what went down there... but I'd say it's definitely worth having the conversation with them about dress code.


Snakeskin or STFU!

WTF? 10 bucks cause your wearin a jacket, then 5 cause the door bitch thinks your all right?

ja twas bullshit, i wasn't particularly flattered, highly unimpressed

we have our own door girl for the night. i think last week gunda was saying there was a fancy dress function on friday night just gone. we are going in tomoro and will sort it out.

 the one like kito has been locked away working on beats for this show and not to mention the dubs she has access to. be prepared this is going to be pretty special.   she cant wait to bring it to adelaide.

is that your cat Dan? whats that on its claws?

 

I thought the dress code issue had already been quashed.....

Once again I have spoken to Larry who manages Cargo about the Dress Code and the guidelines for the night...

Larry has managed Cargo since the early 90's and that was a time when Cargo had HipHop, DNB,Techno and House nights.. The broad spectrum of clubbers and dress style was always well accomodated for...
Ask the Rumble Crew (Darkman, Son of Sam, Bennie Raw and Satori, Macro) if you're not sure..

Larry made the point of asking me what sort of crowd dress wise to expect.. I told him very similiar to DNB so he and his staff know exactly what to expect...

James and I are having meeting with Larry on Wednesday and I will again confirm the policy I have mentioned...

I myself will be wearing jeans, hoodie, sneakers and hat (exactly what Id wear to any Dubstep Night)... I expect everyone to do the same... 

Props to crew who have gone to check out the venue.... Everything will be sweet on the night

bigups....  jah bless

 

i reckon he did that just for you simmo

big up s to the p and the five fizzlemizzles

 

Sounds cliche but be ready for Sonic Sub Bass Assault!!!

Im jumping out of my skin in hypedness for this one... And thats saying something cos im old and huge so theres a lot of skin to jump out of...

Get yourselves down to this one... Awesome 27 degree day and $10 entry before 11pm... $5 base spirits you cant go wrong.. Kito dropping the badness from 1am...

 

yeah the weather is set to be kick ass. spoke to kito earlier and the lady has some tunes to play trust me. i know what your saying gunda this is going to be a rad show. skin optional  Bass music all night long.

Your nail polish Chris !! C'mon, don't pretend you don't recognise it you had some on last week i heard (not, just taking the 'iss)
OH and by the way. I hoping to get a MEGA COP show bag for you, it'll go with your Police t-shirt

dress code should be ok by the way... Gunda got i sorted with Larry, James double checking it. By friday i'm gonna get my comfort attire on, off beat shuffle-groove ready... !!

Hahaha...... fuck no dude! Their is no way i'd do that to such a beautiful animal, the person who did this should either have a child or become a cross dresser.

Bring this show on already!

just came from a meeting with larry manager of cargo. to reiterate what gunda has already said wear what you would normally wear to any dubstep or drum and bass show you will have no problems getting in. so ill be donning my hi vis vest and happy pants  . also extra subs organised for the night just to give it a bit more bottom end warmth. everything is in readiness i like the look of the venue and the smoking area is a bonus so smoking massive can still hear the beats and basically be in the club. not long to go now peeps. and with kito moving to london feb 2010 this will be a great opportunity to hear some quality home grown shit. 

 

what James just said.....  We also may be doing future shows at Cargo if dates and acts align accordingly so keep your eyes peeled.....

 

Rock on, well done you boys putting this on, i cant wait to be apart of the action! Ready.

its on macropeed  looking forward to hearing what you have in store for us  dont sleep adelaide this is going to be a big one.

 

Okay last post I feel on this one... Fresh new tunes from one of the freshest talents in the Dubstep scene... Come early or maybe miss out!! Perfect weather for some Cargo courtyard action...

Sorry for all the spam but we wouldn't want you too miss out on what will be an awesome night...

lock this one in crew....

yep, an event to witness, in a top setting, on a top night, with top people... absolutely splendid 

I hope so, been pretty geared up for this for a while now! 

Have fun.. I am looking forward to the Heavy Innit show in Melbourne Saturday.. Last of its kind at the Laundry.. its been sold!!

so please report on how it went! 

BRRRRRRRAAAAPPP

Im hyped for this one tonight. Don't know if im gonna make it to pleasure first though. Anyway i'll see y'all down there.

Much love

sound-check should be on as we speak... clarendon st. getting sub-blasted  !!! 

 

Sound check completed and fader rejuvenation done!! 

Just got back from the venue with Audio Opticon and Kito & things are looking good..

Kito is way excited and really stoked to be stepping up... She played something she has been working on and soundcheck crew were liking what they heard... Some VIP dubs tonight I believe...

Bigups to Macro for his technical guidance, Adam from AndyJ sound, Phil De Drums for his boot space and Larry for having us at Cargo....

Perfect weather for partying at Cargo... Sub bass reform happens from tonight!!

boh!!

 

 

okay simmo... fair call...   at least I wasnt trying to read myself!!!


 

ill see you there gunda

can you bring my cookies please??  Cant believe I forgot them again!!

 

i want cookies.

party time 

 

They are neither Disco Biscuits or Dope Cookies you young Uni/Record Shop type...

They are $2-09 Woolworths Generic brand choc chip cookies which Fiction has brought to my
attention..

In fact I had expected him to have eaten them all by now...  So if he brings them tonight all the good
boys and girls can have some...

 

perfect night for a sub bass onslaught. cargo is sounding good and kito has some serious tunes to drop.

tsotsi: when she gona keep it on the lfo?

g swift: what? that songs from like 1991!

tsotsi: really? oh ok

*kito plays lfo*

tsotsi: hey g, i thought u said this song was from 1991?

g swift: what u talking bout this is 2009 flava!!

he had had only 16 hours sleep since monday

 

respect to G-swift who rocked it again but its made easier when you got quality tunes with some nasty sonic action thrown at you by Kito....

bigups to everyone who came along for the ride!!!!

I think everyone had fun and I know the barstaff loved the change of music format so that always helps...

thanks to everyone who helped make this one happen...

 

fucking stupidly good night. had loads of fun, big up lads!

the girl has some crazy tunes for sure, but daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmm she's easy on the eyes *bites knuckle*

i agree completely with jayar
kito was quality
dancing behind the decks,.,. and loving the crowd reaction... she's certainly got an infectious energy
such a diverse set.,,. couldn't be classified.,,. some really beautiful tunes in there
or "disgusting" as g-swift put it a few times... he was amping the intimate crowd as usual

c=part and desh played some nice stuff b4 i left.,,. the place had cleared though!
i did notice how much the bar staff were grooving to the dubstep tunes too..

thanks shadow play and the 5 families for putting her on

would love to have been in melburn for tonight's show...

thanks kito.,,. come again!!!!!

shouts to the girl like kito what a sick night. she was telling me that was the best djing experience she has ever had. shouts to griff on point as always. and yeah she definitely played a broad spectrum of music  and her energy rubbed off on the crowd. big love to gunda geezy and all who had a hand in making this possible. the artists that come through always take something special from adelaide large up yourselves. summer is set to be a biggun. and a special shout to ivy for doing the door. bless. 

I'm devo
had a few beers and a few buckets at home in prep for this and then woke up on the couch at 3am. Was not happy. Glad to hear the show was a boomer though.

such a cool night... quite happy to spend the entire time chillin in the beer garden catching up with crews, sound could be heard crystal clear out there too...without losing my hearing The event went well, felt right at home in my club of choice 

cargo was such a good venue for this , big ups to the lads for getting the venue

the djs i heard played nicely - opticon, macro and kito.

the sound was sweet and a nice little crowd, hopefully the word spreads and more people support next time.

Wicked night! Great little crowd, super fun vibes. Sick tune selection. Kito said that it was the most fun she had ever had djing, big up Adelaide for showing one of dubstep's freshest talents a good time!

also big up all the djs and opticon & gunda for getting the ball rolling on this. sweet party.

were you hiding? didnt see you there. and yeah i reckon Spor probably had something to do with the attendance as the promo for it was pretty good. great show though. those who didnt attend defintiely missed out on a fun night in one of Adelaides best venues.

thanks for the invite too boys 

no i was watching from the lookout of my death star

lol. funny old fellow
