SHACKLETON
(SKULL DISCO - UK)
Shackleton’s maverick take on big bass lines and complex beats doesn’t fit easily into categories and that’s how it’s going to stay. Shackleton has been carving out his own brand of eclecticism on Skull Disco releases with intricate, snaking percussion, hypnotic melodies, seriously deep bass lines and dubwise sensibilities. His unique take on bass music makes his tunes feel right at home from a dub techno set to dubstep. There’s no wonder why The Wire magazine stated, “Shackleton’'s bass drops are huge, shoomping bolts of leaden mass - neither in tune nor out of it, they are simple…omnipresent.” Shackleton’s tunes can be found on the compilations Skull Disco Volume 1 and Skull Disco Volume 2, released in the U.S. by Rough Trade Records. SF is the last stop on Shackleton’s debut World Tour. Catch this rare performance, because it’s not often that the illusively talented artist gets out of the studio long enough to do a world tour.

ESKMO
(WARP - SF)
Brendan Angelides is a San Francisco based electronic music producer who records and performs live as Eskmo. In the past five years he’s released over a dozen singles and EPs while touring throughout North America and Europe. Angelides also runs the Ancestor label, which issued his “Hypercolor” and “Agnus Dei” singles in 2009 to positive reviews from numerous magazines, blogs and tastemakers. Ninja Tune recording artist and film composer Amon Tobin hailed his work as “some of the best production I've heard in recent times.” Although club and radio DJs readily spin his music, Angelides always performs his Eskmo and Welder work live. His innovative, emotive on-stage performances utilize Ableton Live software with various MIDI controllers to manipulate keyboard work, effects, warping and cuing.

EPROM
(WARP - SF)
EPROM is known for his diverse, funky and energetic sets, which cross the lines between live remixing and manipulation of hiphop and dubstep with his own obscenely bass-heavy neurocrunk transmissions. EPROM has played alongside artists like Flying Lotus, The Glitch Mob, Skream, Lazer Sword, Kode9, Mochipet, Rustie, and many others. He has worked with internationally renowned MCs and has slated multiple vinyl releases in the coming year. DJ supporters include Starkey, Jakes, Bassnectar, The Glitch Mob, Rustie, Megasoid, Zombie Disco Squad, Riton, Basement Jaxx, and BBC Radio One’s Mary Anne Hobbs.

KUSH ARORA
(SURYA DUB, RECORD LABEL RECORDS - SF)
Kush Arora’s name has become synonymous with the term “dread bass.” Dread bass is the sound of a post-dancehall world where MCs are confronted with the latest in cultural-styled electronic riddims. Kush Arora has seen the dread bass sound evolve for the past ten years, and has solidified his spot in the dub community, with his signature style of Punjabi roots combined with a curious case for punk and industrial sounds. Kush is constantly collaborating with MCs and vocalists from around the world who bring a dangerous, yet insightful feel to his music.

Wisp is on tour in the UK & Europe in March/April 2010, following the recent release of his 2nd Rephlex album “We Miss You”.

Wisp (Reid Dunn) comes from Niagara Falls, New York. He makes electronic music that spans many genres, from jungle and experimental drum n bass to ambient and downtempo electronica. Nostalgic computer games bear an influence on his music. He began releasing music for free, in the form of mp3s on netlabels, but has since released on Sublight and more recently has been signed to the legendary Rephlex Records.

In this recent interview, “Rephlex Records” (sic) boss Grant Wilson-Claridge describes Wisp as the best new talent in electronic music for at least 10 years. http://www.skiddle.com/news/all/Raphlex-Interview/4103/
