Household Management + QUAD present
MELT
Household Management and QUAD come together to up the ante yet again, and bring you what will undoubtedly be THE most talked about weekly event in the history of Atlanta. MELT. Melt will not be your normal weekly as we will be throwing a MASSIVE event every Friday Night. So in all actuality, although it will be occurring weekly, each Friday Night event will be able to stand on it's own as a typical legendary Household Management party. Expect the biggest headliners in the world to be making appearances at MELT, along with unsurpassed lighting and sound production. This will be the ONLY place for Bass Lovers to be on Friday Nights in Atlanta!
This we week are proud to bring you THE biggest name in Dubstep, and 1/3 of record breaking act, Magnetic Man:
SKREAM!
Magnetic Man, Tempa, http://facebook.com/skream // Croydon, United Kingdom
Ollie 'Skream' Jones is on a major roll. The 24 year old Croydon DJ, producer and original dubstepper had the festival anthem of last year with his Let's Get Ravey remix of La Roux's 'In For The Kill'; he's just been featured on the cover of NME with his Magnetic Man co-stars Benga and Artwork; and as we speak, he is all over Radio 1 with the first single from his second solo album, Outside The Box. The tune in question, 'Listenin To The Records On My Wall', is the perfect introduction to why Skream's current level of success is just the beginning. It's a joyful, ragingly energetic celebration of the last quarter decade of British street music, inspired by the hardcore and jungle records used by his older brother Hijak who was part of Grooverider's Internatty Crew. It's also a brilliant pop record that makes perfect sense to everyone who grew up surrounded by the breaks and beats of the 1990s – and to those who didn't. This, however, is not a revival record. A natural born modernist, Skream has selected 14 tracks that cover hip hop ('8-Bit Baby', with LA rapper Murs from Living Legends), bass-wobbling dubstep (the self-explanatory 'Wibbler'), dreamy electronica ('Perferated'), a dark and tribal track with La Roux, and a strong dose of euphoric jungle on 'The Epic Last Tune'; a track that is inadvisable to listen to whilst driving – unless you want another six points on your licence. A lot has happened since the 16 year old Skream left school with no GCSEs and a top-flight training in white labels and nightclubs. "I hated school and school hated me. I was rarely there and rarely wanted to be there. When I first saw music being made on a PlayStation, that was it. There was never going to be anything else. I know people who got 5 A-Cs but now they look like they're dying of boredom." He started working at Big Apple Records in Croydon, a place that holds the same place in street-up dance music as Rough Trade does in punk. Arthur 'Artwork' Smith and Danny Harrison, 2-Step remixers du jour circa 1998, had a studio upstairs and when Skream and Benga weren't downstairs in the shop, they were watching and learning from their local masters at work. "The shop helped me grow up to be not a dickhead in terms of talking to people I didn't know. You'd get builders coming in buying garage records and you'd have top distributors. I met so many different people from different places." In the early days of dubstep he and his Big Apple posse made music for themselves and a select band of listeners. There might have been 20 people at FWD>>, the night where resident DJ Hatcha first played Skream's records, and where he first DJed, but it didn't matter. Gradually, more people got involved, drawn in by the raw power of the music and well-documented tipping points like Mary Anne Hobb's Radio 1 show and an influential online forum. And if they heard anyone, they heard Skream, who became an enthusiastic regular on the international dubstep circuit and made an early anthem in 'Midnight Request Line'. "That tune was when people from the mainstream started looking into the underground. They weren't embracing it, they were like 'wow there's this movement'… and they moved on." Then, in 2006, he got the parts to Hot Chip's 'No Fit State' and began playing it out. The following year he contacted The Klaxon's record label for the parts to 'Not Over Yet', stripped it down, added synthetic rushes and major bass power, and made it his own. Then came La Roux. Skream's now infamous remix of "In For The Kill" that got leaked, downloaded thousands of times, and then before long Annie Mac was championing it, urging listeners to get the mix to Number One. He has always made tunes at an incredible rate: he has two albums (Skream! in 2006 and Outside The Box), two compilations and 81 tunes released since 2003 and many hundreds more he's played during DJ sets. There are 872 finished songs on the hard drive he's been using since 2007 (and about the same on the hard drive he used between 2001 and 2007) and at least 20,000 song files in his current studio which is still in his old bedroom at his parents house, which is useful for both continuity and tea and toast on tap. "I work at a fast rate. If I'm not into an idea after 25 minutes I start something else." Outside The Box is the sound of an artist who is ready to take his considerable talents to a wider audience without compromising any of the raw, hedonistic, emotional, loose-yourself madness that has made him literally legendary to the hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Take 'Where You Should Be' a song which could have been made by Mike Skinner had he spent his whole life inside nightclubs, and features singer and songwriter Sam Frank. "I don't think I'll ever be sick of that track. I've easily listened to it 500 times. It's not fundamentally for the dancefloor." There's the 8-bit computer game inspiration of 'CPU'; the Daft Punk styled vocals of 'How Real' feat Freckles; the tuff but soothing heart-beat of 'Fields Of Emotion' and the Jocelyn Brown-sampling 'I Love The Way', which sees the first lady of disco pitched right down ('she sounds well mannish") and which you might have heard at Skream's massive festival sets at Pukkelpop, Glastonbury or Roskilde, where he and Benga began their crowd-surfing habit. Towards the end of the album, there are moments that point in a whole new direction, like 'Reflections', a tune written with talented drum 'n' bassheads dBridge and Instra:mental. "It's opened my eyes to a whole new way of working. I was playing the bass, and they were programming drums and playing the pads and strings. I was used to sitting in front of a screen." And then there's 'Song For Lenny', a sad and very personal musical dedication to a lost friend. Album aside, life's busy for Oliver Jones. He's back DJing after taking some time out at the start of the year, switching up his DJ sets to include 4/4, techno, garage and grime – in fact there's a brilliant track with Newham Generals 'I Can't Wait' that missed the album tracklist by a whisker – and, most weeks, hosting his Rinse FM show–now alongside Benga–where listeners get to hear new tunes and Skream and Benga's inimitable banter. There will be a bonus edition of the album with another four or five tracks on it, and another Skreamizm EP later in the year, as well as the Magnetic Man live shows and album. It's going to a big summer, inside and outside the box.

MINDELIXIR
Abstract Logic Recordings, Daly City Records, Bass Church, http://soundcloud.com/mindelixir // Charlotte, North Carolina
Mindelixir has been a busy individual recently. His funky jazz infused blend of bass music has been categorized as dubstep often but there's something very different about this producers sound. See for yourself by checking out his new mix that just dropped for URB magazine or checking out his last release, Mindelixir Presents Music for Funerals and Banks (every single track charted on beatport's top 100 for electronica.) His monthly party is one of the largest bass parties in the country and his work with Atlanta based record label ALR has lead to record sales for every quarter since he joined the team. Watch out for his live show, there's no other place on earth to hear the futuristic bass heavy blend he's wielding.
LIVING EXPERIENCE
Abstract Logic Recordings, Household Management, http://facebook.com/LivingExperience // Atlanta, Georgia
Living Experience has been many things over the past year and a half. The name, the style, and the members, have changed several times, if only slightly, throughout it's inception. But throughout the transitions, they have remained true to their live improvisational style of music. As of the Summer of 2011, the core founding members Charlie P, and MJ, have finally got it right. They have simplified the set up, and are now rocking as a Improvisational Bass Duo. Armed with a Korg Kaossolator Pro Synthesizer, a Korg KP3 Effects Processor, a Roland HandSonic HP-15, and an Octapad SPD-30, MJ compliments the improvisational arrangements laid down by Charlie P. Charlie plays Ableton Live like a fiddle with a Launch Pad, Novation SL MK2, and a Kaoss Pad. This approach to the "Live DJ" style of performance gives the group an intuitive edge on the traditional DJ. With the press of a button or twist of a knob they can transform the mix ever so subtly to create an intense mood change, beat glitch, or any variety of sonic manipulation, right before your eyes all while keeping the audience tapped in and vibing out. Building on the foundations of all Bass Music, Living Experience take you on a trip through Dubstep, Glitch Hop, Hip-Hop, Breakbeat, and four on the floor "Bassline". Bringing you along through tempo changes from 128bpm to 180bpm all in one set, all the while keeping with the psychedelic nature the Living Experience sound is known for. There is a twist and turn lurking around every corner. The spontaneous take on this music teeters on epic bliss, or total Armageddon. The syncronicity between MJ, Charlie P, and the crowd brings about a spiritual situation where the movements of the dancers, and vibe of the audience, can actually dictate the direction of where they all collectively take the set. It's like a musical Jenga, stacking phrases of audio, clips, samples, live percussion, and bass, as high as it can go before breaking it all down and then just as swiftly, starting all over again. This makes it impossible to ever experience the same Living Experience show twice. These guys are no starngers to the stage or spotlight. Since the beginning of this project they have played for crowds of thousands and thousands again while opening for the likes of SHPONGLE (twice!), RUSKO, NERO, DIESELBOY, ILL.GATES, CASPA, FLUX PAVILION & DOCTOR P, BIG GIGANTIC, MINDELIXIR, and others. Their endeavors thus far have led to high profile studio collaborations, and remix projects, with some of the biggest names in the game. As Living Experience finish their first LP, and start touring the Globe in 2011 and beyond, keep an ear to the ground. Living Experience will be on the lips and hearts of the masses soon enough!
MARK YURM
Household Management // Atlanta, Georgia
Mark Yurm is the alter ego of Brandon Couturier, and is an Amazing DJ from Atlanta, GA. He has been rocking dance floors since 1994. He is also one of the most well rounded DJ’s to ever come out of Atlanta, mixing anything from House Music, Dubstep, Drum step to Break Beats and everything in between. With such an arsenal of styles it is no wonder why when Mark Yurm is on the decks, there is definitely a party going on. Mark has played along such legendary acts as Skrillex, Tommy Lee, DJ Aero, Wolfgang Gartner, DJ Magic Mike, Adam F, NAPT, B Rich, Virus Syndicate, Mimosa, Freestylers, Excision, Downlink, Z Trip, Felix Cartel, Figure, Calvertron, and many many more. His blend of mixing in and out of broken beats with 4/4 runners can only be simply described as fun. His sets are sure to make the heart pump, and the feet move, in ways that you would have never expected. Now embarking into his Seventeenth year of being a DJ,. Mr.Yurm looks to progress the sounds that have taken care of him even further. In 2009, Mark Yurm re-joined forces with long time manager, and best friend, MJ, to re-launch Household Management, a company which includes Artist Management as well as large scale Event Showcases. Excitement is the word coming out of Atlanta, as Household, and Mark Yurm, look to be one of the next driving forces of dance music for years to come on a global basis.
