San Francisco-Compression SF & Rukkuz Muzik in association with Formation Records are getting ready to set off the 2010 US WODNB Tour in high style next week with an amazing lineup packed full of artists that are sure to bring their A-game and enough diversity to please a wide majority of bassline connoisseurs.
Though the night is going to be featuring a ton of UK-based talent, the lineup of DJ’s from the US is something to pay attention to. With many of them having releases available for sale at major online music outlets that are charting well and getting rotation on both online and broadcast radio here in America as well as across the pond, the Stateside contingency this year is primed and ready to show the world what we’ve been up to over the last 12 months.
If you’ve missed the madness in the past, check out this video from ’08:
1015 Folsom (aka 103 Harriet) is sure to be rammed to the rafters & filled with some seriously heavy bass for your face, so if you haven’t gotten your pre-sales yet, definitely make sure to grab your discount tix here and bring your camera’s, lighters and a case of Red Bull because with the number of killer tunes getting dropped all night, you’re going to need the energy!
Monterey, CA- DnB is alive and well in California and this is evident by the sheer volume of party-goers and number of events that are showing their longevity from the large cities in SoCal and the Bay to the coastal towns and smaller cities throughout the state and “Odyssey” thrown by Peter Be and DJ Senator is a prime example of this.
Celebrating their 1st Anniversary on March 27th, Odyssey has been feeding the bass-hungry party revelers every 4th Friday of the Month for the past 12 months and they’re bringing down SF’s own DJ Canadub (BADNB/Shelter) to help them celebrate with a proper dosage of bass for your face!
Those of you that are in the area should definitely mark this night on your calendars and come thru to show your support!

GET READY
ITS BRYAN GEE
BRYAN MOTHERF***IN GEE!
Holy f***ing shiite, it’s the DUKE of drum and bass, BRYAN GEE. As head honcho of V RECORDINGS, BRYAN GEE discovered and signed everyone from RONI SIZE to KRUST to DJ DIE to DJ MARKY from Brazil.
As a DJ, though, GEE proves time and again that nobody DJs drum and bass as well as him. The man is a motherf**king drum and bass WIZARD. A larger-than-life, stoned to the bejeesus belt, upside-down NINJA of ultimate bass funkification. And just like he’s been rocking his legendary London club night MOVEMENT for the last decade, GEE is coming to COMPRESSION once again to remind everyone of just how that sh*it is done.
Check out a blistering recent live set from BRYAN GEE here:

UPDATE- 04:18pm 02.09.10: Due to the “Apocalyptic Snowstorm” that is mauling the East Coast right now, all of the flights from NYC to LA have been canceled, so unfortunately, Empress’ appearance is looking like it will be delayed until future notice. Stay tuned for updated line-up information for this week!
Los Angeles- One of my favorite ladies in the DnB world, Empress, is making a West Coast stop at LA’s weekly, Respect.
She’s been busy in the studio working with her new band in preparation for a new album & tour, but she’s going to be taking a break to come and drop some heavy business for the LA crew.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with her since the early days in both of our careers and since day one, Empress has continued to push her sounds every where she goes (from being the 1st American DnB DJ to play at Movement back in ’99 to her “Stateside Sessions” tour in 2003 ) & rocks crowds from coast to coast.
Those of you in the LA area should definitely make sure to check this one out, Empress is notorious for having exclusive dubs & her production definitely is not to be slept on- she does the damn thing
San Francisco- The lovely ladies of Redline are coming back at you again with Rave Nu World, January 29th, 2010. This time they’re coming at you with both barrels locked & loaded, with none other than Hench badman Jakes along with Benny Page and a ton of others that are sure to please!
Those of you in the know probably have a pretty good idea of where this event will be, but if you don’t, keep checking their MySpace or HERE for the 411.
