Which artists do 'live' sets?

Ones I know of are Bass Clef, Shackleton and Elemental... any more?

This is in relation to a night I do in Brighton in a small punk venue where we're trying to put on dubstep in an 8pm - 1am 'live gig' format (with dj's too). We had Bass Clef down just before Christmas and it was great but are we gonna run out of acts? Discuss...

P.s. I'd count laptop sets as 'live' for the sake of argument.

DOKKEBI Q - standard

get on it

magnetic man are now doing a live show.

you might also want to consider point b

Boxcutter is superb.


There's a couple of guys from Bristol who are pretty good too:

Phaeleh - www.myspace.com/phaeleh

B-lam - www.myspace.com/blamstep


edit: ignore me, sorry they're both laptop based. I should read the threads more carefully.

shackleton live at fabric next weekend

doesn't gothtrad do some?

Saw boxcutter live last night in newcastle, absolutely amazing night, Windfall was sick with live bass. boxcutter is a BADMAN.

Shackleton live is something special.

doesn't jazzsteppa do live sets?

Geiom has got a live set now.
Vex'd do some live stuff in their shows.

now i want to move back to brighton! where is the night on? in the hobgoblin? if you get shackleton, i'll emmigrate again!

yes, goth trad does live set (w big setup)

also quarta330 from japan does live act

Elemental ..... not seen him but heard nothing but praise

saw a Vex'd live show which was excellent

Elemental is fucking sick on the live set (although it is still 'just' a laptop set). He is a master of Ableton, and creates sets so imaginatively out of his repertoire of tunes.

I can definately second Elemental... his live sets are deep and dynamic like no other. Properly mashes it up over 16 channels of audio.

ScanOne also does wicked live sets, sample here:

bass cleff is rediculous live. but carnt wait for the magnetic man tour, Benga, skream and artwork collaboration live! WHO KNOWS? in notts 12th March get on it

thanks all, loads to be getting on with there...

we actually approached elemental first for the next night (which is on 22nd Feb at the Freebutt incidently - w/ Deadboy Racer and DJs Ashley Marlowe and Kid Blast confirmed) but he's out the country unfortunately. we'll def be back on his case for the one after next though.

i reckon shackleton and boxcutter are prob too expensive / big for the venue but i'll be chasing up some of the names you lot have come up with for sure.

So if a dubstep artist isn't doing a laptop set, how are they doing it? Live band? Part live instrumentation, part laptop?

Bassclef does it using bits of hardware, some effects pedals, a tombone, a cowbell, several whistles

sounds wicked too
