Pelski @ Big Chill House
257-259 Pentonville Road, London




"Since its inception three years ago, the Pelski blog has gone from strength to strength, refusing to post anything but cutting-edge music.

Now the Pelski crew have put together a formidable line-up for their first event at The Big Chill House – with two of the biggest names ripping up the UK bass rulebook. Like a couple of tenacious terriers barking at the heels of the old vanguard, our headliners – Rustie and Roska – have been hugely influential in pushing the UK bass scene forward and shaping the urban dubstep-dominated soundscape of 2010.

Heading the bill will be Rustie, the critically acclaimed producer and DJ who, alongside Hudson Mohwake, Joker and Zomby, is at the forefront of a mutated hybrid of wonky hip-hop and dubstep. Kode 9’s Hyperdub snapped him up for his now famous remix of Zomby’s ‘Spliff Dub’, and, in no time at all, Rustie was remixing the likes of Modeselektor and Various Production, before going on to smash everyone’s impossibly high expectations with a string of highly praised original productions for the Warp and Wireblock. Rustie’ll be setting the crowd alight with a DJ set filled with shuffling dubstep beats, his trademark layering of arpeggios, skittering percussion, jagged bass and no doubt his taste for sophisticated US hip hop. Bound to be electrifying.

Roska is often attributed with pioneering the UK Funky scene (emerging out of a culminating collision of future garage, grime and dubstep). As the genre picked up pace in 2009, so too did Roska’s production output – he produced some of the dancefloor tracks of the year and lent his remix skills to Zed Bias, Untold and Four Tet. Roska’ll be bringing his penchant for energetic garage-influenced house music to the ones and twos. Expect tough beats and funky kicks merged with the skippy, crashing percussion of garage, but with the soul and tempo of house.

Support comes from none other than London’s up-and-comers The Boog-A-Loo Crew. Residents at Corsica Studios successful Trouble Vision nights, the Crew have also lent their hands to some tasty dubstep and 2-step production (as well as a new deeper alias under Dark Sky). Hyped by everyone - from the blogs to Mixmag – Boog-A-Loo will be be sure to get everyone’s feet moving with their buoyant sets, blending future-garage, dirty dubstep and even bouncy tech-house.

You Can Call Me Pelski co-writer and DJ, Charles Darkly, will be warming things up with a diverse mixture of cutting-edge beats: expect anything from melodic techno and percussive house to upbeat tribalism or moody future-sounds, twinged with shoe-gazing basslines to warm your feet."

Lineup:
Rustie (Wireblock, Warp)
Roska (Kicks & Snares)
The Boog-A-Loo Crew (Trouble Vision)
Charles Darkly (You Can Call Me Pelski)

Tickets: FREE before 12, £5 after
