16Bit | West London, UK
BOKA RECORDS // SOUTHSIDE DUBSTARS // Z AUDIO
With their massive debut EP ‘In The Death Car’ featuring the now infamous
“chainsaw track,” 16bit have rapidly shot into the limelight.
Their massively varied productions delve into every corner of the dubstep
world, ranging from “halfstep rhythms…shot through with 10,000 watts of
current” to “glitched 2-step and sub driven riddims”. Their live shows are
intense, to say the least and they’ve seen support from Kissy Sell Out, Mala
(Digital Mystikz), Rusko, Chef and many others with a constantly growing fan
base.
Hot on the heels of the Death Car EP, 16bit will soon be dropping their
follow-up EP on the legendary Southside Dubstars imprint.
They played their debut set in Tokyo, Japan just two months after their
debut 12″ (PCP/President Of Europe) dropped, and have since played massive
sets in Paris, London, and all around the UK and Europe.
Cringer | Chicago, IL
DUBFRONT // WNUR // PTS // 60HZ
Raised by jackals in the darkest mountain recesses of Appalachia, Cringer emerged from the back woods armed with two turntables and a fattened sack of dubplates. Traveling to Chicago, he found home with the Part Time Sucker crew bringing his signature brand of bass-ridden drum-driven Jungle and Drum n’ Bass. Since then, Cringer has crossed paths with the low level rumblings known as Dubstep and, after dueling with swords on the beaches of Ganryu Island, they joined forces to untwine soundscapes that exist where bass becomes “sub”. Currently, Cringer can be found ruthlessly rattling bass bins, scorching dancefloors and tracking the sun in anticipation of 2012. To seek the Cringer, one merely need follow the trail of toppled speaker stacks and demolished sub cabinets.
SPECIAL GUEST MC….
Kam Franklin | Houston, TX
GRITSY
Returning for her 2nd BGB appearance… Kam refers to her sound as “experimental soul” because she not only strives to step out of the box, but she doesn’t try to limit or fit into the mold that most others define as soul. In January 2008 she became affiliated with Gritsy, a dubstep crew in Houston that throws big dubstep/drum and bass events in the Houston area and hosts Dubstep DJs from all over the world. Soon after this, Kam started being regularly invited MC Dubstep events all around the country offering her freestyles where need be.When not performing her solo stuff or at dubstep shows, Kam is also a member of local Houston doowop group the Pearls,country group The Umbrella Man( with Billy Joe Shaver bassist Nick Gaitan).She also performs regularly with the afro-reggae group Free Radicals.Kam has previously shared the stage with Aloe Blacc,Mates of state,J-Davey,RX Bandits,Portugal the Man and many others.On any given day, you can catch Kam free styling over an afro/dubstep-beat with country lyrics, while singing over the track with a blues/gospel twang that will have you convinced it couldn’t have sounded any other way. Kam is currently working on a country EP, a Dub EP, and her solo LP all to be released within the year.
