Hour 1: Cure/Hxdb/Bombaman (Aufect Recordings)

Aufect recordings owner DJ Cue join label artists Hxdb and Bombaman for an exclusive dubplate session in support of their gig with Headhunter at Dubforms 11.

BOMBAMAN : Toronto : LoDubs Dubplatelet Subconcious Aufect

Bombaman, aka Matt Carl, aka one half of the dubstep duo Loetech with XI, from Toronto, Ontario. As Kid Kameleon put it in his column "Basic Needs" in the December 2007 issue of XLR8R, "Bombaman makes dark, weird, boundry pushing music for you to meditate to in a club with large speakers." These days, he is working on making sure his beats live up to that expectation. Always looking for a new way to mangle subbass, you can find Bombaman pushing out new music every week in the form of 4/4, electro tinged dubstep.

CURE : Toronto/Van : Aufect Lighta! Pressing Issues

Originally from London Ontario, Patrik Walters aka DJ Cure is originally known for his earlier Drum and Bass ventures. With the dream of one day being a DJ, Cure started collecting records at the age of 16. It started out as an addiction to underground Hip Hop, then Techno, Electro, Jungle and DnB. Finally in 1999 he bought his first pair of 1200’s. Since then, Cure was booked at virtually every Jungle event in London. It wasn’t long until he started a string of successful events and club nights. In 2004 he appeared on MTV’s "Don’t try this at home" tour. Around that same time he was starting to really take interest in Grime and early Dubstep. When 2006 rolled around Cure had become obsessed with the sounds of Grime and particularity Dubstep coming out of London, UK. Cure joined Pressing Issues Recordings [ Pressing Issues Recordings | The world's first democratic dubstep record label ] that summer, and is still representing as a DJ, Promoter, and A&R. In August of 2007, after feeling like he had reached his limits in Ontario, he decided to transplant to the wild west coast, and settled in Vancouver with the intent of starting his own record label. In 2008 Aufect Recordings was born.

HEXADECIBEL : Van : Aufect Trill Bass

[hek-suh-des-uh-bel]

Bedroom producer turned DJ, who has been amassing a healthy catalogue of tunes over the past 2 years, that he’s itching to unleash on Dubforms. His style can best be described as deep, evocative, funky, jazzy, eclectic, haunting, and many other superlatives that could never truly do justice to the music this man creates. Those that have heard, know, there are very large things on the horizon for him, with his tunes being played by heavyweight DJs around the globe. Look for his tune Resist! to be the original track on a forthcoming EP on TRiLLBASS recordings, featuring remixes by Mayhem, DZ & the TRiLLBASS boys. There are many other releases slated for him in 2009 on numerous record labels, so keep a close eye on his website.. Also, be on the lookout for new label Aufect Recordings, out of Vancouver, which will also feature his works and those of many other gifted producers in the BASS world.

Hour 2:

Lance Baptiste (Mercury Lounge, Ottawa)

Another pioneer of the deep jazz movement, Lance has spent much of his 15 plus years in the biz cultivating the masses via radio and his live DJ sets. A credible radio personality, and host of his own radio show, Baptiste has an extensive knowledge of music. His knowledge of the subject is clearly evident during his DJ sets as he moves fast between soul, funk, House and of course jazz. Lance continues his residency at the Mercury Lounge, a residency he has maintained since the inception of the club. More than a club DJ, Lance has been a spokesman for this burgeoning scene, and an ardent promoter of the music.
