Project Human Tour - Dieselboy - Nov. 7th
Thursday - November 7th, 2002 // Sonar (66 Water Street - Gastown)
PH1.CA & POUND RECORDINGS INC PRESENTS... ::THE PROJECT HUMAN TOUR:: .:DIESELBOY:. human/planetofthedrums/djdieselboy.com - philly w/MC J-MESSINIAN platinum/substitution/planetofthedrums - philly Called "The most in-demand American drum 'n' bass DJ on the planet" by DJ Times, Dieselboy's impeccable mixing skills consistently earn him gigs all over the world, from Hong Kong to Helsinki to Cape Town, South Africa. His success, the product of an intense work schedule ("I'm a workaholic," he sheepishly admits) and unparalleled devotion to developing the drum 'n' bass scene in America and overseas, could have easily led him to roll out another straight ahead mix CD for his devoted fanbase. But Higgins decided it was time for a change. "Usually when I get hit with some strange idea, I'll be in the shower, or staring out an airplane window," Higgins laughs, "And so it was with this one. I wanted to do something different than just a mix CD. I've done six mix CDs, and on the last one had two exclusive remixes of my tracks, special remixes just for The 6ixth Session. This inspired the idea for project HUMAN-getting people whose work I respected to remix tracks they liked." project HUMAN, to be released on March 19th, 2002, is the first full- length release off of HUMAN, and gives a taste of the brave new world seen through the eyes of Dieselboy. Higgins, along with top-flight producers such as E-sassin, Stratus, Hive and Danny C from Twisted Anger, remix choice material from all types of electronic music, from filtered disco house to trance to west coast hip-hop. "Somewhere along the way I was like, why am I just remixing drum 'n' bass tracks?" explains Higgins. "Why don't I get remixes of other styles of music as well? I wanted my CD to be varied, have influences from other genres." Pulling in tracks like "Subculture" by LA hip-hop group Styles of Beyond, and "Pistolwhip" by renowned trance producer Joshua Ryan, he pulls apart the originals, weaving in his trademark fierce rolling basslines and spliced drum patterns. "I figured that if I started HUMAN, I could build a label that would be on a par with some of the best UK labels, because in general, US drum 'n' bass labels don't get a lot of respect-people look at drum 'n' bass as an entirely UK phenomenon. I want to do a label that wakes people up, shows them that America does have good drum 'n' bass producers, and that they do make good music." MC J-MESSINIAN Born in Los Angeles, California and bounced around the country like a nomad eventually ending up in Philadelphia. He developed a love for MC’ing as a child from head-noddin’ to HipHop in oversized headphones and engaging in freestyle cyphers with other "staircase artists". His musical roots and influence range from Soul, Hip Hop, Latin percussion, Dancehall, and his mother Helena’s emotional piano and guitar sessions. Frequently went to parties to b-boy to breaks and tribal house with comrades and eventually fell in love with the raw snares and basslines of Drum and Bass music. In 1998, Messinian started experimenting in rhyming to different genres of music, and after becoming a resident MC at Club Space in Philadelphia, he eventually linked up with the members of the Substitution crew. Currently as a member of the Platinum crew (Dieselboy, Sine, and Icon) and a residency at Platinum — Philly’s premier Drum'n'Bass weekly. "_the planet of the drums kru was initally created as an outlet for all three of us to perform together at different shows and events. over time, however, that concept has expanded. we now feel that it is our calling to not only promote quality drum and bass stateside, but to also help provide a voice for our scene as well. our music has languished in small back rooms on undersized sound rigs for far too long. we are taking a firm stand - 'enough is enough'. promoters need to either represent fully or not represent at all...and as planet of the drums we will not be supportive of those that try to use our scene strictly as a way to line their pockets. we hope that by unifying we can help increase awareness and educate others that drum and bass is a community. the days of the 'jungle room' need to come to an end...our music deserves its place in the *main* room. planet of the drums represents everyone trying to make a positive difference. support your local drum and bass scene, your local drum and bass djs and producers." - www.planetofthedrums.com featuring :: Fluid-[seks/poundrecordings] Ill-esha -[ph1.ca/breakbeatscience/jlf] Matty-[quadra/dune/automatic] $15 PRESALE TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE AT: Boomtown - 1252 Burrard 102 - http://www.boomtownrecords.com/ Futuristic Flavour - 1020 Granville - Bassix - 217 W Hastings Zulu - 1972 W 4th Sonar (no s/c) - 66 Water Street Tuesdays > Progressive House and Techno @ Sonar- "Tactical" Wednesdays > Breakbeats and D'n'B @ The Drink- "Seks" Sponsored by: Obstruction Clothing (New location on Robson opening soon!), Zion's Gate Records (opening up November 1st!)
