Dubble Trubble volume 2...

Dubble Trubble volume 2...
What would we do? Usually drink, usually dance, usually bubble? why not...

This edition leaves London again... call it a lastminute.com summer holiday.

we are heading up to Leicester to make Kontakt... with Kontakt. Set your system to pick up some alien sounds.


SR: So Mr Kontakt what ends are you from?
K: I'm originally from Shrewsbury over by Wolverhampton, moved to Leicester in '98 and been here ever since.


SR: What is your hood like? Is it love or hate?
K:I live in Aylestone, it's a up and coming area with a good sense of community.

SR: Must be Love.... What would you change bout it if you were Gordon B.?
K: lol. Not too much to change round Aylestone. In general I’d sort out Leicester council.... they haven’t got a clue!

SR: sack em all I say, I'd vote you for MP... how healthy is the Dub scene up in the North...?
K: From a Leicester perspective, it's always had a strong underground music scene, but as for dubstep.. I started Kontakt in early '06 after going to FWD and Heavyweight Rocksteady. The first one I put on was in a pub, it was an all-dayer called 'Pubstep' with about 25 / 30 people there, I saw it could work, named it Kontakt then it just grew and it's still here today.

SR: How did you get into Dub... and who makes the best Dub on the planet... ?
K: Around early '05 a friend of mine called Jay bought a dubstep / 140bpm mix round to my house and I was hooked, started buying 12's, heard about FWD (when it was on a Thursday) started going there and over to Geiom's night in Notts, then to DMZ.... the rest is history. Best dub on the planet.... all the people pushing things forward and not getting caught in the mud.

SR: Big up Jay everytime...Are there any current releases?
K: Not from me, I just DJ but there's too much talent around Leicester, dubstep wise... Bar 9, Rob Sparx, Rebel, John Maveric, Melly, Tec-ho, MSB, Luthor, Ralfabetix, Dise Beats, Doji..... All the above are making quality music.

SR: OK, in that case where can people catch you mixing..?
K: 'Kontakt' (1st Friday of the month) @ Sophbeck Sessions, 'Hubstep' (every Thursday) @ The Hub, and anywhere else thats booked me.... (PROMOTERS - BIG WINK, NUDGE, NUDGE)


SR: I hear you guys have got a carnival up in Leicester but what kind of mix would you play at Notting Hill carnival this year...?
K: It was Leicester carnival Aug 1st, If i was playing at Notting Hill it would have to be party music all the way.... Funky / Tribal / Soca infused bass music.

SR: About this mix you sent out... when is the best time to listen to it?
K: Anytime of day or night.


SR:What makes U too hood to care star?
K: Just being me...

What is a Cooptrol - DubBle Bubble vol -1....

We are heading down to Uruguay to find out what is a COOPTROL....? More importantly to get a few words from a Dubstep pioneer from South America.... make sure you got your passport matey... Immigration is well strict at Gatwick

SR: what made you want to make dub music & Who makes the best Dub in you opinion?

CP: Two things: The Mystic of Pioneers, and the techniques they developed. Bill Laswell is a must, I also like Burning Spear dub records, and the electronic dub of Meat Beat Manifesto beats me. Pole is another approach that I like.

SR: Give me a short history for the guys that aint up on the scene in Uruguay....

CP: Well, bass music ain't too big here, young people mostly listen to indy rock or minimal techno. I started back in 95 and slowly pivoted to dub and later dubstep. There are some soundsystem parties here but mostly reggae-oriented.

SR:: Mr Cooptrol, what is your hood like? Do you love your hood or hate it??

CP: My hood is middle-upper class at the seaside of our capital Montevideo. I have been here almost all my life, since I came from South Africa at age 2. I love it. Its full of buildings and nice houses, lots of companies and shopping malls and nightclubs too. The best part is the "rambla" near the beach. Marvellous sightseeing.

SR: give me 1 thing you love about it, and 1 thing you hate

CP As I said, I love the seaside. The thing I hate is that my country has also lots of poor people, who come to richer hoods to search for food and recyclable stuff in the garbage containers. It's not their presence that annoys me, what makes me sad is that they remind me every day of the awful situation of many people here.

SR: what would you change bout it if you were in control?

CP: I would try to make a system where trucks take the recyclable stuff for them to a determined spot, so they can carry on their business without the indignity of searching in other people's trash.

SR:: ps....what is a Cooptrol??

CP: Cooptrol was a trolleybus company that operated in Montevideo for some decades. It was closed in 1990. As a child I used to ride on these old electric-powered english Leyland buses. When I started my project in 2000 I thought it was a nice nostalgic name for my generation, which also implied a somehow "retro-futuristic" technology.

SR:: any current releases??

CP: Next release is a collab with US MC Nongenetic, two dubstep tracks with vocals, plus remixes from the Spezialmaterial label artists, from Switzerland. CD and maybe vinyl. You can check the trax out at my website, on the Soundcloud player. Also I have finished a 5 track dubstep Ep, and I'm looking where to release it. (LABELS... BIG NUDGE...)

SR:: When is the best time to listen to the tracks you sent us... ??

CP At midnight off course. (SR:Your time or ours???)

SR:: What makes u too hood to care star??

CP: That I live in a third world country where doing what I do is much more difficult, so I just go for it with all my energy and brains, and don't expect fantastic results in terms of recognition. I'm just patient and hard working. Don't trust in no auto-hype.

SR:: Any shout outs??

CP To the Duster Recs crew in Milton Keynes: Lee, James and all the labelmates. Also my friends from Spezialmaterial and Everest in Switzerland, Dense recordstore in Berlin, Li from Paris, Experimentaclub from Madrid, Tanox and Discontinu in Barcelona. These are more or less the people that have supported me through the years in Europe.
