[NYC] - 8/14/10-The Darkroom-Spec. Guest NIVEAU ZERO (PARIS)
Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2010 1:32 pm
We’re very excited to have the French Dubstep Badman Niveau Zero joining the residents at the next installment of Dark Room on Aug. 14th. As always, the party will be FREE. Do not sleep on this one. The man tore the house down last time we saw him play in Paris.
Having taken his first steps in music as the bass player for various hardcore outfits (a background he shares with several of his Ad Noiseam label mates), Frédéric Garcia has now become one of the frontrunners of France's heavy electronic scene. With tastes and influences ranging from dubstep to breakcore or from hip-hop to metal, he's a relentless actor of this country's underground scene.
Following his winning of the “best electronic newcomer” award at the Printemps De Bourges festival in 2008, Niveau Zero had his first releases on the Paris-based label Destpub (also the first label to discover the now widely acclaimed 16 Bit)., He has ever since had records put out by such imprints as Expressillon and Komod.o (for a collaboration with Ad Noiseam's Matta).
Besides having his own FM radio show, Niveau Zero is also the founder of Paris's best known dubstep parties, “F*** You I'm Furious”, and is known for being one of the most sought-out French dubstep live act.

Yes, move to the 'burbs or submit to the bassI hate to beat a dead horse, but this problem just won’t go away. I was up again until 4am because of Coco66’s monthly dub step night. The 2nd Saturday of every month, Coco’s really loves to just blast that bass until the wee hours of the morning. I called 311 and made a complaint. The funny thing is, I looked up the status just now (as seen at left — Ed. Note) and it said the Police took action and fixed the problem, which is a most blatant lie. They didn’t do anything, as I said I was up until 4am. I’ve also contacted the Community Board twice now, once in May (never to hear a response) and again last week. At this point I don’t know what’s left for me to do other than move, which I really shouldn’t have to do if the city just upheld it’s own ordinance laws. Do you have any advice?
