Description

“We’re recreating how we experienced it when we first got into music & dubstep, if you want to say that.” (C Dubs)Bassic is a six-year tradition “that evolved from a group of local bass lovers on a quest to change the tides of the scene” (Dig Boston). Since 2007, the GOOD LIFE BAR (28 Kingston St, Boston) has supported and housed Bassic. This monthly party features the most talented DJs from around the world, as well as Bassic’s very own residents (Moldy, C Dubs, AxH, Damian Silva, Dabu, Steppo, and Scotch-1).

CSC and TOGETHER present a ONE OF A KIND experience in Boston.

MATHEW JONSON performs live!

We hope you like Roland 909s and SH101s because he will be slaying them on May 18th.

He’s developed one of the most distinctive voices in electronic dance music: when you hear one of Jonson’s tracks, you almost immediately know it’s his. And yet there’s no mistaking any given track for another.

His music offers a rare fusion of populist intensities and nuanced musicality. With a keen understanding for the needs of the dancefloor and the universal laws of house and techno, he’s thrown out the rule book time and time again, sneaking tricks learned from electro and even drum’n'bass into minimal clubs, and loading up his B-sides with tracks that do what they damned well please. (No kick drum? No problem.)

His standards for sound and presentation are exacting. Both on stage and in the studio, Jonson’s fealty to analog equipment and real-time play—as opposed to mere playback—serves as a standard bearer for a kind of electronic music that goes way beyond the drag ‘n’ drop world of digital composition. Jonson has always been eager to get his hands dirty, and the music reflects that in gnarled bass sequences and long, intuitive lines. His sounds have serious teeth.

This year for TOGETHER Fest BASSIC is about to rattle your chestplate hahda’ than evah! Bring your bassface because we’ve got the one and only DISTANCE behind the decks!!!!!

DISTANCE (Chestplate, Get Darker, Tectonic) London UK
The mastermind behind Chestplate recordings DJ Distance hails from the South London dubstep nucleus and is an originator of the dubstep sound. He has been involved in its development since its early years and has produced tracks with the likes of Skream, Benga, Pinch and Cyrus.

With a background of heavy metal and experimental industrial music, his approach to dubstep is truly different to any others. Whilst many producers reference influences such as King Tubby to Lee Scratch Perry, Distance main influence hails from the likes of Sepultura, Pantera and Fear Factory.
Distance as producer, DJ and label owner (Chestplate Records), has been pushing things in a direction all of his own. Gathering early support from the legendary John Peel and going on to be part of the utterly seminal Dubstep Warz show on Radio 1 presented by Mary Anne Hobbs, Distance has forged a name for himself as a critical figure in the scene.

Distance is a regular at the seminal raves such as FWD, DMZ, Exodus, SUB: DUB and more. His Dj bookings have taken him across the globe where he devastates dance floors and sound systems in his own unimitable style.

Distance’s recorded output is also formidable, finding homes on labels as underground and seminal as Hotflush, Tectonic and Boka in his early career, to ending up on the world reputed Planet Mu, on which Distance released his debut album in 2007.

Distance’s studio has spawned multiple stone cold killers over a range of styles but all uniquely Distance, highlighting why his new releases are some of the most highly anticipated in the scene.

If you’re a fan of heavy metal, industrial rock, dub, reggae and techno….then this is the sound for you. Though hard to relate these binary opposite genres together, somehow…Distance does just that.

JACK SPARROW (Deep Medi, Tectonic) UK

Leeds based Ryan Wild AKA Jack Sparrow has been producing his own strain of Dubstep since 2006 and in that time has shown his versatility in the studio ranging from dark tribal Techno to heavy “soundsytem” Dubstep styles.

With residencies at Exodus/Dmz Leeds and Outlook festival (voted best european music festival 2011) he has fast become a household name all over the globe regularly touring Asia,Europe and UK with his take on Dubstep.

His Debut album Circadian followed a string of releases with Pinch’s tectonic label based in bristol and achieved a 4.5 stars from the like of Resident Advisor (4.5 stars) and Mixmag (4 stars) and also charting highly in the best albums of 2010.

Jack Sparrow has also shown his versatility by remixing for many names and labels including Skepta (3Beat), Count and Sinden (Domino), Birdy (Atlantic), XXXY (Pollen), Mumdance (Mad Decent), Photek (Tectonic) and RSS (Wall Of Sound) amongst others. Jack has also worked closely with Loopmasters in 2011 to develop sample cd’s for other producers to use within dubstep productions.

Sparrow is also 1 half of production duo “Author” (Tectonic) who released their debut album in November 2011 which sees a musical take on Dubstep. Jack Sparrow and Ruckspin have been touring globally the Author live show to sold out events with a great reception.

MOLDY (Embassy, TUBA, BASSIC) Boston
Boston based dubstep artist Moldy is notorious for mind-bending DJ sets and productions that stay true to the “deep and exploratory drive of the early days” (Mixmag, 12/12/2011). A “veteran of American dubstep” (flavorwire.com, 4/19/10), Moldy has been “quietly leading the charge of US dubstep producers since day one” (dubwarnyc.com, 5/29/10).

Tonight! Beat Research with Matt Shadetek (Together Festival)

Jeff — Wed, 15 May 2013 17:07:01 +0000

With its roots in Central Square, Beat Research – which began in March 2004 at the no-longer-existing Enormous Room – played host to some of the best and brightest DJs and producers of underground bass music in the world. As the brainchild of multimedia artists Jake Trussel (DJ C) and Antony Flackett (DJ Flack), who teaches a hands-on class at MassArt, the party has seen performances from a long list of special guests including Scuba, DJ /Rupture, Kingdom, edIT, Mungo’s Hi-Fi, Uproot Andy, and thereminist Pamelia Kurstin. Still running nine years later, Beat Research continues to provide a home base for genre-bending sets which initially helped launch it as one of Boston’s most anticipated parties.

On May 15th, New York City native, Dubspot NYC production teacher, and co-founder of the global beat-music label Dutty Artz, Matt Shadetek is headed to Good Life for this famous experimental music party during the week of Together Boston, May 12-19th.

Shadetek’s eclectic hip-hop infused beats prove to have something to offer for all listeners. His newest album entitled The Empire Never Ended, recently released through his own label co-founded with DJ /Rupture, includes tracks featuring well-known rappers such as Riff Raff, Troy Ave, Chan Dizzy, and Jahdan Blakkamoore.

He’ll be accompanied by two other members of the Dutty Artz crew, DJ Ripley and Cheif Boima, as well as DJ Flack and co-host Pacey Foster (DJ Pace), who will be performing live as their electronic punk duo, The Sublings.

Be sure to listen to some of Shadetek’s tunes below and look into buying a full pass to the Together Festival, which comes with free entry to all the shows and much much more.
