[surefire sound]

...SUREFIRE.SOUND WILL BE ON HIATUS IN MARCH DUE TO SXSW AND WMC...

In it's stead we are extremely pleased to bring you the one and only SHACKLETON on his World Tour as well as ESKMO and EPROM celebrating their WARP release and KUSH ARORA with new bits and a peek into the DREADBASS SOUNDSYSTEM.

Please join us as we celebrate these momentous occasions with an entire night of LIVE electronic music.




SHACKLETON
(SKULL DISCO - UK)
Shackleton’s maverick take on big bass lines and complex beats doesn’t fit easily into categories and that’s how it’s going to stay. Shackleton has been carving out his own brand of eclecticism on Skull Disco releases with intricate, snaking percussion, hypnotic melodies, seriously deep bass lines and dubwise sensibilities. His unique take on bass music makes his tunes feel right at home from a dub techno set to dubstep. There’s no wonder why The Wire magazine stated, “Shackleton’'s bass drops are huge, shoomping bolts of leaden mass - neither in tune nor out of it, they are simple…omnipresent.” Shackleton’s tunes can be found on the compilations Skull Disco Volume 1 and Skull Disco Volume 2, released in the U.S. by Rough Trade Records. SF is the last stop on Shackleton’s debut World Tour. Catch this rare performance, because it’s not often that the illusively talented artist gets out of the studio long enough to do a world tour.



ESKMO
(WARP - SF)
Brendan Angelides is a San Francisco based electronic music producer who records and performs live as Eskmo. In the past five years he’s released over a dozen singles and EPs while touring throughout North America and Europe. Angelides also runs the Ancestor label, which issued his “Hypercolor” and “Agnus Dei” singles in 2009 to positive reviews from numerous magazines, blogs and tastemakers. Ninja Tune recording artist and film composer Amon Tobin hailed his work as “some of the best production I've heard in recent times.” Although club and radio DJs readily spin his music, Angelides always performs his Eskmo and Welder work live. His innovative, emotive on-stage performances utilize Ableton Live software with various MIDI controllers to manipulate keyboard work, effects, warping and cuing.

EPROM
(WARP - SF)
EPROM is known for his diverse, funky and energetic sets, which cross the lines between live remixing and manipulation of hiphop and dubstep with his own obscenely bass-heavy neurocrunk transmissions. EPROM has played alongside artists like Flying Lotus, The Glitch Mob, Skream, Lazer Sword, Kode9, Mochipet, Rustie, and many others. He has worked with internationally renowned MCs and has slated multiple vinyl releases in the coming year. DJ supporters include Starkey, Jakes, Bassnectar, The Glitch Mob, Rustie, Megasoid, Zombie Disco Squad, Riton, Basement Jaxx, and BBC Radio One’s Mary Anne Hobbs.



KUSH ARORA
(SURYA DUB - SF)
Kush Arora’s name has become synonymous with the term “dread bass.” Dread bass is the sound of a post-dancehall world where MCs are confronted with the latest in cultural-styled electronic riddims. Kush Arora has seen the dread bass sound evolve for the past ten years, and has solidified his spot in the dub community, with his signature style of Punjabi roots combined with a curious case for punk and industrial sounds. Kush is constantly collaborating with MCs and vocalists from around the world who bring a dangerous, yet insightful feel to his music.
