Posted: 14 Feb 2011, 9:02pmSubject: ART+BASS (Fringe art exhibition) feat Desh, Jayar & Stuntman aka Strife
Between Desh’s whacked out illustrations, Stuntman’s drawings and tattoos and Jayar’s nudes to a deep bass soundtrack – where else are you going to be this night?

The loosely coined Dubstep Doodlers consists of DJs DESH (Benjamin Keynes) STUNTMAN / STRIFE (Jesse Schuppan) and JAYAR (Julian Rutt)
Three esteemed, long standing Adelaide dubstep DJs who are equally at home expressing themselves graphically as they are behind the decks… This exhibition sees them come together to showcase some of their art works to a soundtrack of dubstep, drum&bass, breaks, hiphop and whatever else they feel like playing on the opening night, Wednesday 2nd March @ 8pm, at the Austral, Bunka Bar.
FREE ENTRY
exhibition runs till Sunday March 13th
Stuntman aka Strife aka Jesse Schuppan: Using pencil and charcoal my art tends to focus on the human form on a more abstract view. My series for this exhibition is all based around an almost featureless, tribal looking character that I instinctively draw for some reason. Creating expression from an almost expressionless form. Strife has also been a long time D&B DJ and mixing dubstep early since it appeared in Adelaide and co-hosting “The Left Hook” with Desh on Soundpond.net from 6-8pm.
Originally from the Barossa Valley, Desh aka Benjamin Keynes moved to Adelaide to study illustration at uni and has quickly become a prominent figure in the local dubstep scene under his DJ moniker, Desh. Part of the Redline Dubstars crew, Benjamin has helped to promote and play at some key dubstep events over the last 2 years, including N-Type, Reso, Seven, Truth, Kito , Doctor P, & Addison Groove on top of a slew of local shows including 10 Buck Bass, 5 families and Boombox. He can be heard across the local airwaves co-hosting the weekly dubstep radio show "The Bassbin" alongside Jayar on Fresh FM 10pm-12pm Thursdays, and weekly soundpond.net broadcast "The Left Hook"
Currently studying Illustration and Graphic Design at uni, Benjamin has been drawing since he could hold a pencil. Whilst constantly refining his style, his personal aesthetic is at equal parts dark, futuristic, introspective and stylistic, a clear reflection of the music that he loves and is so heavily involved in. For his first artistic exhibition, Benjamin is excited to present a number of pieces that can display a diversity of themes and a unique personal style.
Jayar aka Julian Rutt took up mixing D&B while living in the UK too long ago to admit when exactly, and soon began playing regularly in Adelaide and supporting some of the biggest names in that scene including Pendulum, LTJ Bukem, Marky & Fabio. By 2006, dubstep took his interest and Jayar began to push the sound locally and began the promoter crew/collective The Redline Dubstars for the very first local all-dubstep show featuring the (at the time) relatively unknown Benga, and has since been involved in putting some of the biggest names in the scene including Caspa, N-Type, Doctor P, Seven, Truth, Tes La Rok, Reso, Noah D, Trolley Snatcha, Plastician & SPL and began Adelaide’s dubstep radio show “The Bassbin” on Fresh FM in early 2008 with Skippy and then Desh, and has had his mixes played on Triple J’s ‘The Club’ three times.
A keen drawer and photographer since film days, Julian’s work currently focuses predominantly on the nude female form, taking models, willing friends and regular people off the street alike and attempts to either show the ‘model’ in a different way or capture some hidden part of who they are in an unusually public context.
