Bunga Bunga this weekend with MJ COLE, JOKER, ROSKA, DEADBOY & MORE

[Bunga Bunga]

Bunga’s back. The past few have been such fun we had a thought.. why not make a weekend of it? A couple of days of relentless Bunga-ing, twice as many nights, twice as many artists.

 

So, without further ado, here’s who’ll be joining us;

 

MJ COLE [PROLIFIC] (Friday)

MJ Cole is perhaps one of the most influential British producers over the past decade and more. The man behind seminal hits such as Sincere, an era-defining single that was both one of the biggest influences on 21st century British dance music. MJ Cole went on to sign to Gilles Peterson’s Talkin’ Loud label where he put out 'Sincere' the album; one of – if not the – defining garage full-length. Nominated for the Mercury Music Prize it also spawned the massive single ‘Crazy Love’. Be sincere.

 

JOKER [KAPSIZE] (Saturday)

In 2007, with the underground in the midst of grime exploding nationwide and dubstep beginning to show new possibilities for UK bass music, a then 16-year old Joker was making his first contribution to the scene he’d later go on and help define. Joker is reluctant to be classified, but his soul drenched productions have been described as Jehri Curl Boogie and Wiley stuck in an elevator with Cameo, what an elevator.

 

DEADBOY [NUMBERS] (Friday)

You could describe Deadboy’s music as heartache for the dancefloor. Tapping into London’s rich musical heritage from Scott Walker to early 90’s Hardcore all the way through to UK Garage and House, Deadboy’s tracks somehow still share the same sense of futuristic melancholia as the first wave of Detroit Techno by the likes of Derrick May and Juan Atkins. Deadboy’s DJ sets could be one end of the spectrum or another. One thing is certain though, it’ll be bloody good.

 

ROSKA [RINSE] (Saturday)

Even among his contemporaries, Roska stands out as a unique proposition. His music - an explosive cocktail of swung house percussion, blocky melodies and body-battering sub-bass - is immediately distinctive, marked out both by his own production hallmarks and the cheeky 'Roska!' vocal motif that peppers his tracks. He's never far from the darkened club spaces where he made his name, though, regularly playing incendiary sets in packed basements around the UK - and always maintaining the immediacy and physical impact that's defined his music from the very start.

 

ARP 101 [EGLO] (Friday)

Ever since releasing his critically acclaimed debut on Alex Nut and Floating Point’s Eglo imprint, it has been nothing but exponential growth for the innovative beat maker.

Fresh off the back of an Australian tour with luminaries such as Flying Lotus, Mark Pritchard and Martyn, 2013 looks to be a busy year for all things ARP. ARP 101 is also the moniker of laser guided funk electronic London producer Alix Perez one of drum and bass' most innovative and exciting figures; versatile.

 

PALACE [uNKNOWN TO THE UNKNOWN] (Saturday)

Palace, the fresh and exciting pusher of all things dark, raw and 2-step with one of the standout releases in recent times being his Mandy/Armageddon release which was followed by the equally good Trust EP at the end of 2012 on the ever growing UTTU label.
