Also extremely psyched to announce we will be reopening the downstairs area in Kava Lounge. In addtion to freeing up a little room on the main dancefloor weve added another genre to the evening. Holding down the Sounds of UK Funk in the Downstairs Lounge is none other than:

Corey Biggs {Turntable Lab / Mintphonic}
Head$hake {Mintphonic}
Miss Toats {Disco Dust}.

Its a great honor to have then in on the action.

Sublmnl Sound System Presents Dub Smugglers

With Very Special Guest:

MRK1 (UK) (Contagious, Virus Syndicate, Planet Mu)

Manchester’s MRK1 (formerly Mark One) has been causing a stir on the Grime (Dubstep/Sublow/Forward) scene since his first release on his label Contagious over two years ago. He has appeared in a handful of magazines, including Deuce, Mixmag, B&S, Touch to name but a few, and was nominated for BEST GRIME PRODUCER at the 2003 Sidewinder awards. Planet Mu Records are pleased to be releasing MarkOne’s first artist album “OneWay”. With this album Mark is crossing over & fusing different styles with grime like hip hop, electro & dnb, but all with that menacing bass and spacey production that is a hallmark of the MarkOne sound (a more grimey, industrial, future sound than some of his previous breaks influenced releases). Originally a Drum and Bass producer in Sheffield, he switched up styles five years ago after a lot of frustration with the drum and bass scene. When one of his early tunes was dropped at Forward, things started moving and he became accepted into the wider ‘Forward’ scene. Since then Mark has appeared on various compilation albums and has had releases on Polydor’s P Records, Soulja, Tempa, Texture, Immunity, Hard Livin, Vehicle, Southside, A.R.M.Y, Contagious and most notably Rephlex’s GRIME compilation as well as having loads of offers to work with other labels. Mark was also responsible for signing up Plasticman to Contagious as well as bringing him into Virus Syndicate. Mark has played with the Virus Syndicate and all over the UK as well as internationally; including One Nation in Germany.

…………………………
TOM BURBANK > Los Angeles
Planet-Mu | BrokenBeat
…………………………

http://www.myspace.com/tomburbank

Mixing left-field hip-hop with melodic electronica, producer/multi-instrumentalist Tom creates a sound somewhere between Prefuse 73, RJD2, & his labelmate Edit. The L.A. native was once a member of the Fela tribute band Afrobeat Down, and played numerous DJ sets up and down the California coast as a member of the BrokenBeat network. Burbank made his full-length debut in 2006 when Planet Mu label released Famous First Words.

MASK > UK
Sonic Lodge

http://www.myspace.com/maskedmusic

MASK is a member of the Cardiff UK based crew called Sonic Lodge (Monkey, Stagga, Magenta, P Dubz, Metabeats, etc..). Sonic Lodge itself started out as a local pirate radio show, but is now a label run partly by Monkey himself. The labels releases have tended towards dubstep but the third release will feature a glitch side.

Under his MASK moniker, productions tend towards housey dubstep and electronic hip hop. In addition to Sonic Lodge, MASK is a member of the Darkhouse Family, which is exclusively a future hip-hop project. This group is comprised of Don Leisure (formerly Jamal (Metalheadz, Tru Playaz, T.O.V.) , Metabeats (Associated Minds, Bigger Than Barry) and MASK. Expect an up coming E.P. release on Manchesters Fat City records (www.fatcityrecordings.com) and a feature on the Producer No. 2 compilation alongside the likes of Mike Slott, Mr. Dibiase, Dabrye.

Expect the unexpected, original UK productions fresh for BrokenBeat Platinum !

PUPPY KICKER > San Diego
Rogue Dubs | BrokenBeat

http://www.myspace.com/sandiegounderground

Puppy Kicker is half of one of San Diego’s best kept secrets… ARGYLE, and has been smashing sound systems all around the southwest. From the deserts to the warehouses, dropping dance floor bombs is PK’s specialty: bringing ungodly sub bass, mind bending drops as well as a wide array of unrealeased tunes and original material. PuppyKicker is about to make some international waves like a tsunami as he has releases scheduled to be out in Germany on BiggerDubz (formerly Barish) and the UKs DubFrequency Records.

DR NICKEL > San Diego
TidePool Music

MELOTRONIX > Arizona
Tempe
…………………………

http://www.melotronix.com

Ms Melotronix brings her own twist to the “art of noise”. Armed with her turntables, mixer, effects box and microphone, she blends heavy chunky funky bass lines with etheric ovetones (of flutes, harps, sitar, and more), while singing over her creation.
She has been dj-ing and producing her own music since 1999, so she comes to the stage with an arsenal of tracks that you will not hear anywhere else. Combining old-school classics and original tracks with the latest sounds selected by the mixtress, you will be taken on a sonic adventure that you will not soon forget.

VJ MR COCOON > Los Angeles
THE POLYAMOROUS AFFAIR
…………………………

http://www.innerspaceouterspace.com/

In an emerging world of live video artists, few have background and skill as impressive as David Cabrera AKA mr.cocoon.
With the performative approach of a live musician, his adaptable style has been described as psychedelic narrative, often referencing Nam June
Paik and late 60′s light shows. Using a combination of self-produced footage, found video and live-synthesized video sources, mr.cocoon has created a technique
of his own. His visual shows have been featured with DJs and bands and at clubs, underground parties, galleries and corporate events since
1995. As one of the most in-demand video artists, mr. cocoon performs in excess of 100 shows a year, spanning the globe.

His career as a live visualist began in San Francisco in 1995, where he performed interactive slide shows of his original photography. Often he used
upwards of seven overlapping projectors to create new textures and visual compositions. This setup has evolved into a custom
VJ Rig running both analog/digital and optical components.

David has mastered the art of live video mixing, generating live footage and also utilizing digital and optical feedback. His
particular collection of self-produced footage and rare visual art provides him with a one of a kind pallet in which he creates
captivating narratives that host a multitude of conceptual outcomes.

David is the live visualist for one of LA’s hottest emerging bands: The Polyamorous Affair.

LIVE ART

………………………..
GRIFFIN ONE
…………………………

http://www.griffinone.com/

Griffin has built a career for himself as a urban aerosol muralist, illustrator & logo designer. He continues to balance his focus between his own canvas work, as well as hand
full of underground T-shirt lines, independent record labels & live artistry locally & world-wide.

His graffiti-influenced style can be found on everything from skateboard trucks, sand rails, life-size fiberglass cows, iPhone games, night-club interior murals,
to walls in Greece and Switzerland. This inability to settle on any one medium or style is reflective of his approach to life in general. Staying true to his travel bug, Griffin’s journeys include a 3 week long European Hip-Hop music Tour with Awol-One and The Insects in February ’08, breaking the ice in overseas live artistry in 2008.

Griffin is a resident artist at the world famous Blunt Club – the premier Live Hip-Hop weekly event in the southwest US – & continues to do live art on-stage since his start in 2001 in San Diego.

We are very excited to have are old friend Griffin back in SD with his BrokenBeat fam

Dead @ Dawn
Sublmnl Sound System 1 Year Anniversary

Halloween Night 10-31-09

Featuring

Cyrus (UK)
(Tectonic, Chestplate, Random Trio Productions)

http://www.myspace.com/randomtrioproductions

A veteran of the dubstep scene since it’s inception in early 2003, you couldn’t get better credentials for being a dubstep legend than Cyrus. Born and raised in the home of dubstep, Croydon (UK), home to fellow pioneers Skream, Benny ill and Benga. Indeed his story is almost identikit to his peers; djing drum and bass and then garage, honing his skills on pirate radio and local club residencies, the then 18-year-old got hooked on making music and had early success with Way We Do It drawing major label interest. From there, Cyrus decided to shun the expensive professional route realizing he could get his own unique sound with a DIY set up. In 2003/ 04 with limited places to release his dark, brooding, boundary pushing take on UK Garage, Cyrus started his Random Trio Production imprint and launched the Lost City Ep, a track Hyperdub head honcho, Kode 9, battered at dubstep institution Forward. Having found a sound he could call his own, Cyrus’s perseverance paid off landing a regular slot on legendary pirate Rinse FM in 2004, and alongside Hatcha and Kode 9, was one of the only DJ pushing the dubstep sound. Perfectly placed, there was no shortage of interest in his sound. Cyrus’s brutally minimalistic, hypnotic and cavernous sound is beautifully captured on his critically acclaimed album From The Shadows on Pinch’s Tectonic label. Further releases with Six6Six, 3.5, DubWar and Immigrant Recordings (now Imminent Recordings) have helped to cement his reputation as a key producer. And, It was no surprise when one of his more cinematic tracks featured in a major film. Indian Stomp appeared alongside Digital Mystikz and Kode 9, and also rather impressively, John Lennon, on the soundtrack for Children of Men. “The track was originally to be used in a hit US TV show, so to be told it was gonna be used in a blockbuster film was surreal.” A main fixture at all the top dubstep nights – DMZ, Sub Dub, FWD – Cyrus has also DJ’d the world, from America to Finland, the desire for his sub atomic bass weight is constantly in demand. In August 2008, he was asked to be part of Mary Anne Hobbs prestigious Generation Bass show on international BBC Radio One, a vital and important platform for dubstep. So, what’s next for Cyrus? As well as starting a brand new label to release brand new talent and a few better known faces, he is starting work on a new album after the lengthy construction of a new studio and hopes to continue being allowed to push his sound to as many new ears as possible.
