The streets of Los Angeles are sweltering and the sounds of summer are echoing throughout the southland’s clubs and warehouses. Heavy percussion and lots and lots of bass is what you will hear in the underground this summer. With the boom of a new sound and the re-birth of a classic one, Downtown Los Angeles is proving to be the new hub for underground movements such as Dubstep and Drum & Bass.
Bluebeat first launched in 2002 at the famed Studio 56 in Hollywood. It was Hospital Records bossman, Tony Colman aka London Elektricity's first US appearance. 500 people packed into the small soundstage and a new perspective was formed. The motivation behind the event was to showcase the soulful side of D&B in a time where technical productions were dominating the dancefloors. "We wanted to counterbalance things by producing parties that focused on soulful Drum & Bass music and stimulating the senses through multimedia applications" explained Danny Johnson. "From live video mixing by the best vj's, to some of the countries most infamous graffiti artists painting live. Bluebeat is made for the heads and designed for the ladies.
Since the 2002 show, Bluebeat has appeared all over the southland, bringing D&B to fresh venues and to new audiences, raising the bar each and every time. Although its been 3 years since United has opened Bluebeat’s doors. This session is taking it back down under with Soul:R frontman, Marcus Intalex, who is currently blazing the trail with his soulful productions and dj sets, as our special guest. With the recent underground acclaim of Dubstep, Bluebeat adds the South London sound to the format. Bringing in Los Angeles pioneer and Smog resident, 12th Planet to the tables. Opening sets by Club Muse maestro DJ Phear and Pure Filth Resident, Tony K.
This production is a collaboration between United D&B, Project Sweatshop and Nonstop. Both PS and Nonstop are long time Los Angeles production crews responsible for some of the cities most groundbreaking events dating back to the early nineties. There recent collaboration at the Winter Fresh event held at LA Center Studios had 7,000 attendees and received high acclaim for its production value, props, and décor.
