Very worrying: Simon Cowell to start X-factor for DJs

20 January 2012

Oh dear this sounds bad!!!

Let’s hope the DJ’ing industry doesn’t get too tarnished by this insipid, soulless profiteering exercise.  Eurgh!!

——————————–

“Simon Cowell has unveiled his latest TV project – a talent search to find top DJs.
The media mogul has joined forces with actor Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, to produce the new format, as he called DJs “the new rock stars”.
The X Factor boss’s firm, Syco Entertainment, has been working with Hollywood star Will’s company, Overbrook, for more than a year to develop the live show, which they expect to launch internationally.
They will announce details of broadcasters in the US and UK in the near future.
The new show comes in the wake of a blip in the ratings for the 2011 series of X Factor.
Simon – said to be worth around £200 million – said: “We have been working on this show for over a year and we wanted to partner with the right people.
“DJs are the new rock stars – it feels like the right time to make this show.”
Jada said: “This show will comb the world to find a new breed of talent.”
Simon’s TV formats have had huge success with local versions of Got Talent being aired in more than 50 countries. And 125 countries now broadcast the US version, America’s Got Talent.”

Nooooooooooo!!!!!

Remarc interview

28 June 2011

We are incredibly proud to announce that one of the original jungle legends will play the closing set at our boat rave this Saturday 2 July.

Remarc is one of the originators of jungle music, a supreme master and true pioneer of the art of chopping breaks. His first release came out on vinyl back in ’93 – not long after the term “jungle” was first coined. Leading the way with his prototype junglist experimentations, Remarc created a large following for himself and inspired successive generations of producers and ravers with his forward thinking drum programming and heavyweight sonic force.

Remarc systematically tore apart and rearranged the amen break like never before – creating timeless classics in the process. Tracks such as R.I.P, Sound murderer, Ice Cream & Syrup and Ricky still get rewound countless times at raves, shaking 21st century foundations with their mighty low end and catching ravers off guard with clever and playful edits. In recent years Mike Paradinas signed him to Planet Mu, joining the likes of Venetian Snares, Boxcutter, Luke Vibert and Milanese on a hugely eclectic and futuristic roster.

The legend himself kindly took time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions for us. Enjoy!

High Rankin Interview & FREE downloads

9 June 2011

We are incredibly proud to announce the return of moustachioed bass loving mentalist, toy monkey seller, celebrity sex therapist and self styled “jungle ponce” High Rankin.

Mr Rankin is a bonafide Braindrop legend. We first booked him for our 2nd ever party at Jacks club, London Bridge. Back then he was making a name for himself on the D&B scene with his hard edged, breakcore-esque junglist productions. We next booked him in December 2008. This time he gave us a special mix for us to distribute to the Braindrop family. It featured a selection of his own dubstep experiments – relatively new territory for him at the time.

Since then High Rankin has exploded onto the dubstep / bass music scene- bringing a huge and ever growing international following in his wake. He’s remixed Professor Green, The Count & Sinden and Si Begg to name a few. He’s taken the internet by storm with his comedy viral tunes “Meow Meow” and “Don’t Carry on Like a Rude Boy when Daddy’s got a Yaught”. And he’s overseen the rise and rise of his own Suicide Dub label – having released material by the likes of Hostage, Balkansky and Temper D.

High Rankin is headlining our 3rd annual boat rave. Expect maximum bassline carnage, ranging from the filthiest dubstep, through to skanky 4×4 business and junglist murkage.

We caught up with the man himself to ask him some questions. And we’ve included some free music for you to download at the bottom of the page. Enjoy! Read More >
