Tonight !!! 10pm
Beats from:
Kanji Kinetic, Bassnectar, Von D, HATE, Instra:mental, Breakage, F, Akira Kiteshi, O-Dessa, TRG, Stormfield, Noiz & Decode, Ghislain Poirier (King Cannibal Remix), Zomby, Flying Lotus (Martyn Remix), Mad EP, Somatic Responses & Gunjack
Raised on a diet of pure filth, the Broken Note duo are bringing their own unique sound to the electronic music scene. Combining lean, considered production skills with an appreciation of diverse rough beats; they have quickly established themselves as a sonic force to be reckoned with.
Some of their recent and forthcoming releases can only very loosely be described as Dubstep, with little in common with much of the scene's output. Instead they draw from the Sino-Rastafarian sound and heavy bass; but also combine this with more of the kind of dark and aggressive beats that can be found in Breakcore and Jungle. Their Drum and Bass is similarly disturbingly brutal, with undulating beats and bass that are unushamed to draw from the darkly edgey sounds of Gabba and Techno. It delivers a rhythmic pounding that has set dancefloors across Europe on fire with its astonishing heaviness. The result is both at home in clubs and the vast expanse of a decaying urban warehouse, inspiring visions of a dark and techy future for their music. A description of their most recent release was pegged as "The darkest, most frightening tunes that've ever found their way onto vinyl". Imagine a combination of Vex'd, Raiden and Rotator and you are probably half-way to understanding their sound.
Their live sets are currently based around two laptops running Ableton Live, utilizing various midi controllers and FX running with on the spot warping, cueing and live key work. The content tends to be a mash up of everything from dark dubstep to hardtekno, the most evil dnb to hardcore; playing many of their own tunes but mixing these with music by those who they draw inspiration from. They are both diverse and interesting, as well as being guaranteed to be one of the highlights of any night at which they are playing.
Broken Note is appreciated, played out and given radio airtime by the likes of Mary-Anne Hobbes, Amon Tobin, Boxcutter, Aaron Spectre, SPL, Babylon System, Cooh and Juno Reactor; their sound is being widely received around the globe.
