Everybody’s Talking But No One’s Listening*

taken from Electronic Mistress AND blog entry (Thursday, Aug 14, 2008)

“So a few days ago, one lazy Sunday afternoon on the home couch, I happened to flick channels on TV and stopped at the Asian MTV.

For what is rare on commercial music channels, the current music video featured a drum & bass clip. The track was called ‘Fallen’, by Manila-based band DRIP. I loved both - the track as well as the vid - for clearly being handmade with heart and soul. And I immediately hit myspace to find this band! And this is what I found out:

In early 2008, the 4-piece DRIP released their 2nd album “Identity Theft”, which is also available under Creative Commons license to other artists for remixing & sampling (?). After more than 5 years on the scene, Drip is today seen as one of Manila’s more important alternative electronica outfits, making waves throughout SEAsia with their live performances.

Fallen - Drip’s music video to the 2nd single release from ‘Identity Theft’ was launched in May 2008 and recently started airing on MTV (lucky me!). The video itself was a mad hand-drawn animation, which (as my instant research later revealed) has taken director/animator Juan Alcazaren two years to complete!

My appreciation goes out to all people who have a passion to create and perform. And admiration to those artists who manage to make a living with their niche productions…

If I somehow could manage to gather enough support to stage another live drum & bass band in HK, believe me I would! Drip have certainly been added high on the list. (any proposals?)

Check out MTV, maybe you’re lucky enough to catch ‘Fallen’. But for now, let me just share this clip (’Morning After’ - the first single release from the album ‘Identity Theft’) and more info about my Sunday find, below

Since his venture into Drum and Bass in 2001, DJ Wash has been refined his skills both on the turntables and in the studio.
Co-Founder of crews Basic (Syd, Australia – 2003/2004) and current - Kongkretebass (Hong Kong), DJ Wash and partner Electronic Mistress has been injecting Drum and Bass music into Hong Kong since 2006, playing a massive part in the growth of the Drum and Bass scene in Hong Kong and Asia.

Within his short deejay career, DJ Wash has played along side some of the most influential artists such as DJ Friction, Breakage, Big Bud, Chris Su, Jade, Shimon, Nu:Tone, SpectraSoul, A Sides, Sonic, Suv and other top playaz in the international scene.
On the Regional/International front, DJ Wash is seen deejaying in Sydney, Shanghai, ChengDu, Bangkok and Dresden, sharing the stages with many of the top deejays in those regions and in Hong Kong. Where his skill on the turntables is witnessed by many, which has secured his name as one of the top Drum and Bass deejays to come out of Asia.

With a respectable history of events promotions in Australia and internet radio host of a well respected UK website - “planetdnb.com (2004-2005)”, DJ Wash found him self moving back to his hometown of Hong Kong in 09/2005, where he immediately made his mark within weeks of his arrival.
Since then, DJ Wash has been headlining in most Drum and Bass parties, bringing in fresh sounds and skills not seen/heard before, with regular support and headline gigs at Vodka Bar, Bling, Lost, Loft9, Yumla and Twyst Mind to name a few.

Within the studio, DJ Wash is pushing forward with his own unique Deep/Dark/Tech sounds, showing that he is one of the most promising producers from Hong Kong. His music can be heard over the Television waves on Channel V’s “AMP – Asia’s Music Platform” show, and also a remix project for a progressive/experimental Czech Republic band “100c” for the album “Brant Rock” which was released in 04/2008, as part of a limited edition remix project.
Late 2006 saw a change in the Drum and Bass scene in Hong Kong with the departure of DJ Wash from his initial crew. With fresh ideas and a professional outlook on the local scene, DJ Wash and Electronic Mistress applied their effort into their own creation “Kongkretebass”.
Form its birth in 2006; Kongkretebass has played a huge involvement in the Drum and Bass scene in Hong Kong and Asia. A name which is pushing the limits and boundaries in every angle possible; with website, events promotions of international/regional/local artists, arts/design/PR, as well as a respected weekly podcast [Kongkast], all of which has elevated Kongkretebass into the international stages. With recent coverage on BBC radio 1’s Drum and Bass show with Fabio – Podcast of the week (05/2008).
