Sweatshop’s gone C.R.A.C.K the second time! Bringing the UK trio Persian Crack House Syndicate (includes Flash Jordan + Jack Sprat doing their thing live, plus MC Stride).

上海鼓打贝司血汗工厂这个星期快客取乐！由3月来华的DJ Zinc为本地派对动物们带来这个新式浩室音乐之后我们也迷恋上这所谓的“快客浩室”音乐了。

CHECK OUT RADIO INTERVIEW ON THURSDAY (JUN 11) 8PM (GMT +8) ON WWW.UDANCECN.COM

Persian Crack House Syndicate is the latest joint project between London’s Flash Jordan (Freek Records, UK) and Manchester’s Jack Sprat (Sick It Up, UK).   Since the days of their highly eclectic Cheeky Monkey Radio Sessions, they have been developing their sound and honing their DJ/production skills culminating in interest from a number of labels, the most recent being Freek Records (UK), who will be releasing two of Flash Jordan’s tunes in the near future, including remixes by Jack Sprat and some of the biggest names in the crack/fidget house scene.

They come to Shanghai hot on the heels of DJ Zinc, who’s description of the   genre led to their name.   With them they bring old friend MC Stride, who recently performed with Vera residents Clubber Langz (Flash Jordan/C-Deuce) at the World DJ festival in Seoul.

They’ll also be bringing the latest beats and basslines from the underground uk house and garage scenes, along with some very special bootlegs and original productions of their own.

Expect nothing but pure cut, high-grade debauchery!

2200-0000 D MAN (GRIME + UK HIPHOP)
0000-0130 VICEROY + MC DIDJE
0130-0330 PERSIAN CRACK HOUSE SYNDICATE + MC STRIDE
0330-0500 SIESTA

继DJ Zinc之后，血汗工厂再次为上海带来最新crack house音乐！来自英国的双人组Persian Crack House Syndicate伙同MC Stride将于6月13日假庇护所演出！

PCHS是由英国的Flash Jordan和Jack Sprat组成。曾经联伙主持电台节目Cheeky Monkey的他们经过那段时间的洗礼，琢磨出自成一格的舞曲风格，成为新一代的完全崭新浩室音乐“crack house”的宠儿。

Sweatshop (Phreaktion) and Shelter jointly brings you drum’n’bass cult leader COMMIX, the Cambridge duo who released THE biggest album in 2007: “Call in Mind”, and in the process they’ve not only become the first artists to release an album on the seminal dnb label Metalheadz beside Goldie himself, but have also produced one of the finest drum & bass albums in memory.

Commix have had support across the board from D&B titans Andy C, Fabio, Goldie and are already are a drum’n’bass icon in the making. Come down to Hospitality’s new home on Feb 28 to see this dynamic duo in action. You won’t regret it.

如果告诉你MC STAMINA要来上海 为森林动物们唱上一个热闹的现场
不知道你会邀请多少好朋友一起去疯？

但是海报上清清楚楚的写着MC STAMINA和日本第一的鼓打贝司总司令 DJ AKI！
我只想说庆幸SHELTER是地下室 如果大家不小心把屋顶给锨翻了 那可怎么办才好。

日本首席Drum’N'Bass DJ果然不只是个封号而已 真的非常棒.那么多好听的音乐 激励着每一个神经和细胞去跳舞 去陶醉。
作为日本鼓打贝斯圈中最具人气和指标性的重要推手之一 不难听出 早年在纽约闻名遐迩的Drum’n'Bass唱片店Breakbeat Science的工作经历 给他的音乐风格以及选歌
打下了非常牢固的基础。娴熟的接歌技巧 活跃热情的现场表演再加上俊俏的外表 惹得当晚无数日本MM尖叫不已.从AKI的音乐里嗅到了摇滚 DUB以及强烈的TRANCE味道
我想这就是一个成功DJ的特点 虽然一直坚持做Drum’N'Bass 但融入了个人的性格以及喜好 丰富的音乐元素 只会让他的音乐 更加耐听。AKI的朋友KEI先生也整场陪同
认真的用DV记录下每一个上海森林动物的疯狂影象 相信等他们回到东京 看到这些有趣的片段 一定会想再来到上海吧！

而MC STAMINA 最初给大家的印象还停留在早些时候跟一些大牌的密切合作 像DJ MARKY等等 一首旋律朗朗上口的”LK”更是让内地的森林动物们迅速接受 并熟悉了他.
当晚 身着I LOVE JUNGLE的STAMINA充满了激情 一开声就吸引了所有到场的森林动物们 大家全挤到舞台旁边 竖起耳朵 就怕错过一句精彩的歌声.说唱 唱歌 跟大家交流
他都轻松的把各种各样的唱法融入到现场的表演当中 唱到精彩处更是走下舞台 进入失控的人群 与大家一起HIGH 一起跳舞 让大家大呼过瘾。一直认为 DJ和MC的合作
向来都是呈现出相辅相成 互相添彩的状态.但AKI和STAMINA第一次在上海合作演出 却联手将这种状态发挥到了极致。好听 好听 绝对的好听。

私底下 DJ AKI和MC STAMINA 一个平易近人 一个幽默风趣 作为世界级的表演嘉宾 他们的每一场演出 都倾注了全部的热情和努力 而每一位到场的乐迷们 也真切感受了
由他们的音乐传达的信息 意犹未尽的大家都希望能有再次领略的机会。 下一次 我们会问who wanna get high 因为我们知道了最佳的去处。
这样的现场 每天看 也不会嫌多。

After much talk and anticipation and even some skepticism amongst Shanghai’s DnB community, it appears that our Japanese comrades did not let us down. With DJ Aki spinning the decks and Stamina MCing, this was definitely an amazing way to start of 2009 with the first sweatshop of the year.

Right from the start of the set the sound was promising, playing an array of many different styles, staying close to the energetic sounds of sambass (Brazilian influenced dnb), liquid funk, and a occasionally bringing in a much needed chill break sound of dubstep. A nice mix of some dnb classics as well as some fresh tunes, the dance floor kept jumping through the night.

Accompanying this samurai of a Selekta, Stamina MC also did not fail to disappoint, keeping the crowd pumped with his melodic voice as well as amazing lines in the usual Stamina way. And of course, what night with Stamina wouldn’t be complete without an amazing rendition of Barcelona (which I must say was my personal highlight of the night).

All and all, it was a raving night. With an energetic crowd, a great MC and Selekta pair, and a whole case of good tunes, there was so much energy we nearly blew a fuse .

Don’t forget to check out DJ Siesta & Stamina MC + the phreaktion crew next Friday the 23^rd.

DJ AKI (Womb / 06S RECORDS / ES9, Japan)
STAMINA MC (”LK”, DJ Marky’s trusted MC)

Entry: ¥50 (Free before 11pm | 11点前免费入场)

Supports: Siesta, Viceroy, Abruzzi Spur, MC Didje

To kick start this year’s Sweatshop drum’n’bass goodness, Sweatshop is proud to bring Japan’s #1 D&B selekta, DJ Aki, of Tokyo’s renowned establishment “WOMB”. Providing mic control are Stamina MC and our very own MC Didje. Don’t miss out the chance to see how our dnb comrades do it next door!

2009年开张吉利，Sweatshop为你带来日本第一的鼓打贝司总司令，DJ AKI！在东京赫赫有名的夜店Womb担任鼓打贝司驻场DJ已经数年，他的成功故事绝非偶然。除了身为日本鼓打贝司的亲善大使之外，他也以ES9之名发行了多张单曲，更是日本第一位发行dnb mix cd的人物。

AKI的打碟功力在世界乐坛上众口皆碑，紧密的舞曲连接常常令舞迷们兴奋的喘不口气。这次在华首次演出，一定得亲身试验！

临近圣诞 欣喜之余不免感叹自己被蹉跎的人生 幻想着在漫天飞雪的时候 装扮成舞会皇后 穿越人头攒动的舞池。
善解人意的SIEASTA率领着SWEATSHOP全体帅哥成员 装扮了一向走黑暗路线的SHELTER 召唤所有森林动物们 参加一场白色的浪漫约会。

于是动物们的衣柜就通通不够用了 为了梦想中完美的X’MAS BALL 准备工作一直是紧锣密鼓的进行着。
挑选 推翻。再挑选 再推翻。按奈不住的兴奋心情。

终于到了美美登场的时刻 却惊讶于SWEATSHOP的用心良苦 白色的大门 白色的屋顶 优雅的白色锻带把SHELTER修饰得温柔又美丽，搭配各路神仙笔挺的西装和各式绝美的礼服 让人恍惚感觉 这才是梦想中的BALL 也许作为圣诞的预演 再合适不过。

当晚虽然没有神秘嘉宾助阵 但感觉更像是上海DNB CREW的圣诞家庭聚会 大家亲密的交谈 或者疯狂的跳舞。DJ SIEASTA当晚一袭性感低胸长裙 美丽而优雅 一如既往的征服了大家的理智 她精心安排的圣诞礼物让大家又再次经历一遍 母性DRUM’N'BASS的魅力。至于我们的万人迷MC Charlie 更是变身”黑马王子” 黑色西装 黑色礼帽 以及黑色蝴蝶领结 加上他独特的RE式唱腔 为大家唱响了欢乐的圣诞颂歌。

如果可以 就让这样的夜晚一直持续到圣诞来临 当我们走出舞会 会有雪橇和麋鹿 在外守侯 也许还会看到 疯狂跳舞的 圣诞老人天空开始泛白的时候离开了这个梦想中的舞会 耳边的回响还久久不肯散去 就像大家的心情还依然留在觥筹交错的舞会上。
