    screendoor's Interests
Generalbass, blips, bleeps, electronic music, djing, production, raves (rip), clubbing, dancing, robots, whales, outdoors, skateboarding, street culture, retired amateur freestyle walker, anime and japanese culture in general, experimental and independent films, traveling, moonwalking, swimming, long car rides, crappy b-movies, wine and micro brews, friends, sleeping in, satin sheets, beaches and large bodies of water, free associative writing, the cosmos, life, new dimensions, star trek(j/k on that one - no disrespect for those that do though), camping, spring break weekends
MusicMy roots were in local punk rock shows and 90s alternative like pixies and nirvana, expanded into hip hop, then discovered underground electronic music when i moved to the big city - been hooked ever since.

Started djing experimental breakbeat, idm, ambient stuff, squarepusher style jungle and ragga, drum and bass, heavy dub and breakbeats. Lately been expanding into dubstep. At the same time, I'm also a fan of the 4/4 - older chicago acid house, detroit techno, the minimal side of things, glitchy...richie hawtin being a main influence. Basically, if its electronic, has an underground edge to it and its quality - i appreciate it.

MoviesI really enjoy weird out there movies with biting sarcasm. I also enjoy slumming it and watching horribly bad b-movies from action flicks starring Michael Dudikoff (American Ninja 2) to psychedlic italian horror (Vampyros Lesbos). Sci fi and big budget is cool too. Some random favorites:

Fantastic Planet, Man Bites Dog, Akira, Spirited Away, Alien, Aliens, Shogun Assassin, Requiem for a Dream, Happiness, Lord of the Rings trilogy, OG Star Wars trilogy, Alphaville, (Brain dead right now add more later...)

TelevisionKill your tv
BooksI wish I had more time to read...

Ubik or anything else by Philip K. Dick, 1984 by George Orwell, Generation Ecstasy by Simon Reynolds, Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind Perfect Collection by Hayao Mayazaki [Manga], Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo [Manga], Elegant Universe by Brian Greene (not great but an interesting read)

In an industry where DJ's no longer dominate the action with pressed wax, live PAs have taken digital mixing to another level. No strangers to tweaking and freqing everything within earshot, Acid Circus have mastered the art of live performance: Dropping original music, custom remixes, re-edits, and samples from both current and classic tracks, their unique and aggressive mix of electro, house, and every strain of techno in between has blurred the lines of dj set and live act. Their raw precision performances have placed them alongside major players Magda, Jeff Mills, Konrad Black, John Tejada, Tony Rohr, Richard Devine, and Italo Boys at undergrounds, festivals, after parties and club nights all over California, Seattle, Detroit, Chicago, New York, Miami, and Philadelphia. Their releases have been charted and heavily played by techno heavyweights Speedy J, Adam Beyer and Richie Hawtin.

Recent Chicago transplant, Johnny Armstrong has been rocking the distinct sounds of the TB-303 since he first fell in love with the midwest ACID sound. Acid squelches are spliced, diced and teased into a seamless blend of bleepy minimal and bouncy micro house. Johnny's DJ style is aggressive and pumping, but still maintains a balance of restraint to allow the subliminal frequencies to seep into the crowd "losing control" on the dancefloor.

Johnny has performed with acts such as Dan Bell, Paco Osuna and Paul Birken and his recent move to Chicago has also allowed this former 12" Player and 91.7 fm WMSE "Late Night Beat Generation" favorite to team up with Frankie Vega's Majestic Nightlife (MNL) crew.

With a healthy knowledge and respect for the originators of the Chicago and Detroit sounds and an ear toward the future, Johnny's production skills have garnered interest from labels across the region. Expect his first release to drop soon and the acid revival to continue...

The trio of Aeon, Screendoor & Sir Fice make up Ghidora. A techno triple-threat versus tag set that encompasses all facets of techno from minimal to maximal. Each of Ghidora's three heads bring their influences to the decks, from Aeon's progressive past, Screendoor's taste for the strange and cosmic to Fice's harder tech sound. Each of these artists feed off of the energy of the preceding track, adding their own elements to the mix creating a new vibe and energy that gives Ghidora sets tension and release, with unexpected turns throughout. Half of the fun is seeing where the sound ends up next, guaranteeing a unique journey on the dancefloor.

Influenced by the late 90's midwest rave culture, these artists have over 30 years combined experience raving, djing, promoting and contributing to the Milwaukee scene. Sir Fice and Aeon are members of Audiotribe, responsible for the successful 2-year HomeBrew weekly and other events, as well as maintaining a thriving web community through sites such as audiotribe.net and undergroundmilwaukee.com. Screendoor owns and operates nichemilwaukee.com, a vinyl record pool, and promotes one-off events. Screendoor and Sir Fice have also joined forces with Dela and Fortune to establish the new Projekt monthly event to showcase the new strands of forward thinking minimal tech. In addition, each of these artists dj regularly around the midwest, having opened for techno luminaries such as Adam X, Barem, Bruno Pronsato, Butane, Derek Plaslaiko, DJ ESP Woody McBride, Eidolon, Frankie Vega, Hyperactive, Justin Long, Kyle Geiger, Matthew Dear, Mike Dearborn, Punisher, Robert Armani, Ryan Crosson, Safety Scissors, Sassmouth, Seth Troxler, Steve Bug, Someone Else and Superpitcher.

While the first few installments of Sublow focused heavily on the emerging sound of dubstep, each show incorporated elements from multiple B A S S genres, from dub, 2-step, ragga, bouncement, jungle and even techno. As the sound's evolution continues, it is at this crossroads we are excited to host Kid Kameleon and Ripley, two highly technical djs and purveyors of an anything-goes mixing style who will give everyone a lesson in bass science, connecting the dots from the sounds of bass past (ragga, jungle, breakcore) to the sounds of now (bmore, dubstep and beyond). Their sets morph from one genre to the next seamlessly, taking the listener on a journey through all the myriad forms of underground dub styles. Some call this style a mash up, but recently far too many shit producers and blog housers have corrupted this style / term. Tonight, it is a Smash Up - no genres, no limits, 100% B A S S.


FRIDAY, JUNE 13TH 2008 @ Y-NOT III

NICHE STYLE / SOUND presents :

SUBLOW SMASH UP

an evening of dubstep, drum n bass, mash ups, jungle, and B A S S

featuring


KID KAMELEON
[OAKLAND | Mashit, Shockout, Surya Dub, XLR8R]
Kid Kameleon is a beat strategist and technology enthusiast who blends, chops, restructures and generally smashes rhythms from across the sonic spectrum. From breakcore and ragga-jungle to dubstep and grime, with stops along the way at B-More, dub, dancehall, hip-hop, DnB, electro and the straight up unclassifiable, he's a champion of underground sounds and outsider music. The Kid has dropped his fast-paced, eclectic style at parties from California to Estonia, sharing stages with the likes of Kool Herc, U-Roy, DJ Spooky, Asian Dub Foundation, Alec Empire, Squarepusher, The Bug, Vex'd and The Plastician, and many more. A blogger (kidkameleon.com, riddimmethod.net, and localoaf.org), he also writes a monthly column called Basic Needs for XLR8Rmagazine covering "Low End Necessities from Ragga to Dubstep and beyond". In 2006 he wrote major features on Dubstep, Breakcore, and Berlin's Nu-Dub Scene (Jahcoozi, The Tape, Al Haca, Tolcha, and Shir Khan), and has done short pieces on The Bug, Debaser, Ghislain Poirier, 8 Bit Weapon, Skream, Kode 9, Dolphin and Teknoist, and Disrupt.

::LISTEN::
His mixes garner praise in publications like pitchforkmedia.com and URB.
- Absolutely and Even More Shocking for Tigerbeat 6 offshoot label Shockout.
- Mashers without Borders for Boston Ragga-and-more label Mashit
- The End of Dub for Australian net label Straight Up Radio (download link here)
- The Dubcast for XLR8R magazine blending the best of Dubstep from around the world

- Aim Low 2007 Best of Dubstep Mix (Part 2 of 2) recorded for Spannered


RIPLEY
[OAKLAND | Mashit, Death$ucker, Spannered]
Now disturbing Oakland, California, by way of Brooklyn, London, and Cambridge, MA, since 1996 Ripley has careened through 14 countries with no sign of stopping, causing total dance mayhem at events from Berlin to Boston to Bristol to Brussels, Riga to Rotterdam to Rennes, Halle to Helsinki, Cambridge to Kansas City, Scezczin to San Francisco, Tallinn to Toronto, Linz to London, Paris to Prague. Ripley's wreckstep raggaphonics slice through genres of street bass, jungle, dancehall, breakcore, dubstep, baltimore club, UK garage, hiphop, d'n'b, glitched-out breaks, juke, bhangra and dub, sprouting new life on the dancefloor.

Along with her usual dancefloor alchemy, Ripley wields music in the activist arena - organizing and performing at benefits for groups like the Coney Island Avenue Project (for Pakistani Muslims in NYC suffering the aftermath of the Patriot Act), the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Revolutionary Afghan Women's Association, Street Medics (volunteer medical support for activists), and the 826 foundation. She's played alongside art-music luminaries like Kaffe Matthews, noted thereminist Pamelia Kurstin, as well as beat maniacs like Asian Dub Foundation, The Bug, Drop The Lime, Vex'd, Dub Gabriel, Dizzee Rascal, Plastician, Dr. Israel and Flying Lotus.

TINHEAD VS. SCREENDOOR
[MAD/MKE | djtinhead.com, myspace.com/djscreendoor]
Tinhead is a DJ and producer from Madison, WI who has been pushing a hard, funky techno sound accross the midwest USA. He is also an avid follower of the dubstep sound and will occasionally bless the rare dancefloor with his own unique take on the sound (including his own bootlegs and remixes). Experienced behind the decks, Tinhead has played in cities from Minneapolis to Chicago and and worldwide in Germany. Live performances involve a combination of a DJ + Laptop set with both vinyl and Ableton Live.

Screendoor is the resident dj, event promoter and vinyl buyer of Niche Style / Sound. For this edition of Sublow, Screendoor is taking ..or duties, providing Tinhead with an expanded arsenal of the latest dubs and newest bass emissions.


KRUSER
[MKE | myspace.com/kruser, Locked Down, Hedroom, One Percent]
A recent transplant to Milwaukee, Kruser has his hands in every facet of the underground electronic music scene as a DJ, producer, graphic designer, promoter and sound engineer. Not only is he bringing out his full sound rig to provide the extra bass pressure for tonight, he will be dropping the first all Drum n Bass set for Sublow – as Sublow expands to destroy any and all restrictions in B A S S music.


ORLOW
[MKE | myspace.com/djorlow, audiotribe.net]
Representing Audiotribe to the fullest, Orlow is going to decimate the dancefloor with his sub bass bombs. An early set of rugged and raw dubstep and grime, bear witness the darkness!
