Guilty pleasures? Commercial Disco DIY Foundations

The Audio Foundation will be holding an informal panel discussion this week. On the panel will be Richard MacFarlane and Tim Gentles from Rose Quartz, and Programme Leader of Critical Studies at Elam School of Fine Arts Jon Bywater, all of whom will be talking about “recent technological changes, and the impact that this has had on notions of DIY music culture... new interactions between DIY techniques and modes of distribution, and styles typically associated with the non- DIY overground”. The Sunday Salon goes down at the Audio Foundation HQ located at 4 Poynton Terrace in Auckland’s upper CBD/K Road just off Pitt St. Malcontented

In awesome comic book (or graphic novel if you want to be PC about it) news, a local comic artist and author has made the list. Chris Grosz’s new release Kimble Bent: Malcontent is published by Random House NZ and has made number seven on the bestsellers lists of locally published books. The publication retells the history of Kimble Bent, a little known folkhero and American soldier during the 1860s. Grosz has previously worked as a political cartoonist and music poster designer, illustrating for Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Frank Zappa and plenty more reputable names. More than anything it’s great to see NZ audiences opening their literature minds and welcoming more left-of-centre publications and realising that comics aren’t just the funnies. Mad excelsior props.

Grooveguide.co.nz | 11 II DUBDUB THEETHEE SIRSIR BULLETPROOFBULLETPROOF

As far as reputations go this guy is a legend . Delivering funkalicious tunes for over a decade, he stands a king amongst dubstep.

WRITTEN BY JUSTIN FOWLER

The latest addition to Jay Bulletproof’s respected dubstep portfolio comes under the banner Dub Me Crazy. He says that it’s a natural follow- on from his last album, using the same idea of keeping it “local”. As this was written, title track ‘Dub Me Crazy’ featuring Jessie G had already registered over 50,000 YouTube hits. There is an undeniable anticipation for this album, a year in the making. Bulletproof likes to think of his work as a marriage of genres. The collaboration and remixes on this album feature an impressive list of New Zealand music cohorts; the already mentioned Jessie G features regularly, and her talent joins an artist list that reads more like an honours plaque. Familiar floor-fillers Computers Want Me Dead, Kidz In Space, current dubstep scene explorers Crushington and the beautiful voices of Hollie Smith and all feature. Bulletproof thinks that it’s amazing to work with such variety: “It’s awesome to be able to work with such a close knit community.” When asked what influences his styling, he admits that he tries not to listen to other peoples work. “I don’t want to be like anyone else,” he muses. That’s probably the secret to his decade-tested success. Reflecting on his own work, Bulletproof acknowledges that it comes down to the music. His insider advice for new dubstep blood is “don’t rely on noises”; a golden tid-bit that he practices himself. Concentrating on the funk and groove has helped him create an album that snubs the current ambivalent relationship of dubstep and relentless chainsaw styles. Bulletproof has created the perfect onslaught of bass that would satisfy all true dubstep fans. Bulletproof is a DJ first and foremost. “It’s all I’ve ever done,” he says. “I’m happiest live.” Why? “The feeling of everyone raving off to my music,” he comments, is what he gets off on. There is a busy calendar ahead for Bulletproof, so groupies – get your diaries out. He plans to kick off touring Dub Me Crazy at a show in Tauranga on September 16, but a more extensive Australian and New Zealand touring schedule for September and October is due out soon. He’s also already booked in to set the pace at Homegrown, BW Campgrounds, and Northern Lights. A good enough excuse to cancel Christmas and spend the pingers on a roady or three if there ever was one. The release of Dub Me Crazy is a bit of a treasure trail; it’s set to be released in three different forms. The 16-track standard version will be available pretty much everywhere, and an iLP version will be exclusively available at JB HiFi, which will include the standard 16 tracks plus a further nine to keep the bass hunger at bay. A 24-track version will also be made available on iTunes. Clean yourself up, it’s time to rave.
