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...
