The Atlanta Connection.

Kid Kryptic rocks Atlanta

http://antimatterblog.wordpress.com/2009/11/01/the-devil-smiled/

So I just got back from a killer time in Atlanta. First time there and I had a blast. I got the rare chance to play for 2 hours and dive into a variety of glitch-hop, dubstep and drum and bass. It was nice to play for a crowd that was into the different genres of music rather than playing 2 straight hours of one style. I appreciate a promoter that allows me to do my thing and open up a wide selection of beats for the party.

Hopefully I’ll be able to go back again soon!

Check the link above for a review from the promoter himself.

Get ready Atlanta! I’ll be rolling through on October 30th for Devil’s night. It’s going to be an awesome night of dub and drum n bass with some possibilities of glitch hop on the horizon.

Ghost Industries proudly presents Kid Kryptic of Phoenix, Az, for his first Atlanta appearance!! Known in drum & bass circles for his blistering releases on imprints like the mighty Evol Intent Recordings, Zardonic Recordings, Atlanta’s own Soothersayer Recordings, and his own Theoretic Recordings, KK is sure to be armed to the teeth with dubs and exclusives. Embracing the dubstep sound as well, he’s released music under his real name Adam John on respected labels such as Filthy Digital and Shift Recordings. Adam also produces stunning beatscapes infused with glitch and downtempo elements, a la Squarepusher and Aphex Twin. Be ready for an aural assault of genre-defying mash-ups of jungle, dub, and glitch from Kid Kryptic!!

Also on the bill are local heavyweights Mayhem, Quadrant, Distal, antiMatter, and Beat Baby, who brings the beats hard and sexy with her unique style of flair and funk!

Fragile – Bizarro World EP – Shift Recordings (Oct. 26, 2009)

Fragile - Bizarro World EP

Fragile’s “Bizarro World EP” (a follow-up to his single “Unabomber” on SHIFT003 -12″) is a powerful collection of deep and dark dance floor destroyers. Teaming up with Chi on “To the Top” (a rap-infused roller that busts into into full-time drums and wicked percussion) to kick it off in true roughneck fashion. Track 2, “Bizarro World” starts off like a demented carnival on Mars and then just gets weird. A bubbling bassline, eerie Sci-fi samples and intense drum work show off his signature style of raver grenades.

“Dr. Manhattan” intro creeps from sad and solemn to downright scary until it erupts into a ripping bassline that absolutely destroys every time. Definitely a smasher of a tune! Track 4, “This is Spacerock”, (with its undeniably catchy, reverbed vocal melody and mellow intro bass) drops into a devastating bassline that is probably considered felony assault in some areas. Shift is not responsible for any beheadings of any dancefloors as a result of dropping this tune.

Finishing it off proper on track 5 (another collaboration with Chi), “Mammon” is a rising roller with a growling, stabbing bass and haunting vocal samples to bring the EP to a nice smoldering close the only way they know how in Texas… BIG!

Check the audio samples below!

1. “To the Top” (w/ Chi)

2. “Bizarro World”

3. “Dr. Manhattan”

4. “This is Spacerock”
