Eliphino: Like many producers, Leeds native Tom Wrankmore took to beatmaking at a young age, saving up to buy an MPC so he could start making music. His first productions were strongly influenced by hip-hop, garnering comparisons to artists like Madlib and other LA experimentalists based on his Out of Phase and Seasons EPs.

Now residing in London, he’s broadened his sound palette and has begun mucking about with house and garage, getting a track signed to Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Electric compilation, remixing a wide range of artists within the same field, dropping the Undivided Whole EP on the somethinksounds label and a track on the Manchester based hoya hoya label alongside Lone and Ras G. DJ sets are eclectic incorporating sounds from a wide spectrum including hip hop, garage, house, rnb, dancehall and jungle.

The DnB Messiah returns to Bristol for another bout of serious bass bin madness

When 02/05/2014

LINE UP:

LTJ BUKEM FT MC JOE PENG
CRITICAL IMPACT
DAZEE FT MC GARDNA
RANGE & KABLE FT MC TEXAS

LTJ Bukem is the stage name used by the drum and bass musician, producer and DJ Danny Williamson (born 1967). He and his record labels Good Looking and Looking Good Records are most associated with the jazzy, atmospheric side of drum and bass music.

He was trained as a classical pianist and discovered jazz fusion in his teenage years, having a jazz funk band at one stage. However by the late 1980s he decided to become a DJ, and gained fame in the rave scene of the early 1990s. As a producer, he released a series of drum and bass tracks such as “Logical Progression” (1991), “Demon’s Theme” (1992), “Atlantis” and “Music” (1993). His most notable release was the track “Horizons” (1995) which attained considerable popularity.

He then dipped in visibility as a producer, with his work running the London club night Speed and his record label Good Looking Records coming to the fore. A series of compilations entitled Logical Progression highlighted a jazz and ambient influenced side of drum and bass. The style became widely known as intelligent drum and bass, although Bukem himself was opposed to the moniker, unhappy with the implication that other styles of jungle were not intelligent. Bukem also explored the downtempo end of electronic lounge music, with sister label Cookin’ and the Earth series of compilations. Some of the artists who rose to fame under Good Looking in this period include Blame, Seba, Big Bud, Blu Mar Ten, DJ Dream (Aslan Davis), Future Engineers, Tayla, Aquarius (an alias of Photek), Peshay, Source Direct and Artemis.

On 16 July 1995 he did an Essential Mix alongside MC Conrad. In 1997 he remixed the James Bond theme for David Arnold’s concept album of James Bond music. In 2000 he finally released a debut solo album, the double-CD Journey Inwards. The album heavily emphasised his jazz fusion influences. 2001 saw a remix of Herbie Hancock.

He ran the Speed clubnight in London with fellow drum and bass DJ Fabio.

He DJs extensively around the world, often under the ‘Progression Sessions’ or ‘Bukem in Session’ banners, with MC Conrad.

Warning: Ideas will ignite change

When 26/04/2014
from 11:00 to 18:00

The aim of the Book Fair is to provide a wide range of anarchist and radical literature, merchandise, ideas, history, debate, theory, meetings, workshops and films. We hope the event will provide a serious taster of anarchist ideas & practices to those people new to such ideas and looking for an alternative to the way things are, but do not have to be. The Book Fair also acts as a get together for existing anarchists& radicals – to debate, discuss, network, plot and plan, and of course socialise!

DHP Presents Brooklyn based, American indie rock group

When 17/04/2014
from 19:30 to 23:00

Augustines will take their new, eponymous studio album out on a month-long tour of Britain starting at the Leeds Cockpit on April 10th.

The band have reverted back to their original moniker from We Are Augustines in time for the release of their second LP on February 3rd via Votiv/Caroline International.

“This was us moving on together,” drummer Rob Allen says of the record. “It was wonderful to come through the other end and record a new record. It was a huge accomplishment and it looks towards a brighter future for us all.”

The tour continues in Glasgow on April 11th, and has an already sold out show at the London Koko due up on April 14th.

They take a breather for a couple of weeks before resuming the tour in Sheffield on May 10th, and bring the curtain down for a final time in Birmingham six days later.

Jelli Records and Trinity Community Arts Present Musician of the Year at BBC Folk Awards 2012

When 06/04/2014
from 19:30 to 23:00
Where Upstairs Hall

At just 32 years old, Tim Edey is the current BBC Radio Two Folk Musician of the Year and one half of the Best Duo 2012 award with harmonica guru Brendan Power.

Hailing from Broadstairs in Kent, Tim has played, toured and recorded both on record and TV with quite literally a who’s who of the Celtic and acoustic music scene. On the road worldwide since he was fifteen years old, he recorded his debut album at the age of seventeen, in Ireland, with his guru and legendary musician Steve Cooney producing.

His subsequent musical activities include playing with Anam, The Sharon Shannon Band, Lunasa, Julie Fowlis band, Session A9, Michael McGoldrick Band and Wolfstone, guesting and recording with JP Cormier and the legendary Barra MacNeils in Canada, guesting with Altan in Europe, Mary Black (RTE TV), playing with various Flook members, Magic of the Dance and a highly successful teaming with Seamus Begley Ireland’s accordion king resulting in an album “Disgrace Notes”, recording in 2011 on the new releases by Christy Moore “Folk Tale” and The Chieftains “Voice of ages”, and being probably the first Anglo-born musician to feature on a Christy Moore album!

Tim’s own solo albums (of which there are five) have been popular in Ireland and the UK as well as Europe. Touring in Austria to standing ovations with his Collective trio in 2011 was one career highlight, another was playing the legendary Celtic Colours festival in Canada in 2011 – where he also recorded a duo album with multi-award winning Canadian artist JP Cormier (due out late 2012).

Playing more than eight instruments to a virtuoso standard, Tim mainly uses the Melodeon and button accordeon and nylon strung guitar. He now also adds being a rather shy but fine voiced singer to the stage.

“Tim Edey is an incredibly gifted and talented musician… and the nicest guy in the world” Sharon Shannon

“if that’s not good stuff, I don’t know what is…” Mike Harding BBC, Radio Two

“There are no words in the English dictionary that can quite describe the reaction to Tim Edey’s music. Tim takes our breath away with his musicianship and joie-de-vivre!”. Peter Arnold – Jurassic folk, Devon

“A quite staggering display of virtuoso musicianship in the form of BBC2 Folk Awards 2012 double winner Tim Edey” Richie Evans, music promoter.
