The start of the :stimulus: summer programme is here - with some serious turntable technicians in the place…!
The Bristolian heavyweight bass merchant and :stimulus: favourite TC returns with his gut wrenching beats. Over the past year he has completed high-profile remixes for the likes of Kid Cudi+Crookers' 'Day n Nite'; his anthemic 'Where's My Money' has crossed over and flooded the dubstep scene courtesy of Caspa's remix, and not to mention his work with Jakes and also his solo releases. With another album on the way, it's safe to say he's not gonna be slowing down anytime soon…
Next up some of the original members of the Hospital Records stronghold CYANTIFIC return to :stimulus:, having been hard at work in the studio on their new album. Expect to hear some new tracks showcased, as well as new release 'Empty Streets', featured on the 'Sick Music' LP. If you have caught Jon Cyantific's award winning DJ sets before you'll know just what to expect; if you haven't, prepare to be ghetto blasted!
Finishing off our lineup are the prolific SIGMA. While relatively new to the drum & bass world, they are no strangers to the dance music industry. Former DMC champ Wooz forms one half of the Beat Assasins, doing damage in the breaks / electro scene, but together with Cam they have been storming the d&b scene form early releases on Mampi Swift's Charge Recordings, Bingo, and Viper Records, and they have now set up their own imprint - Life Recordings. With their first release 'El Presidente VIP' / 'Something Special' peaking in the download and BBC Radio 1 D&B charts, their current release 'Paint it Black' on Hospital's Sick Music LP in the hands of d&b's finest, and forthcoming release 'Nexus' all over Annie Mac's Radio 1 shows, they are set for a massive 2009. Don't miss out!
Support at this event comes from Caution & Samas MC’s Algar, Sniper, PM & Messy MC. 11pm-03.00am. £6 ALL NIGHT!!!
:stimulus: dnb @ SMACK, accept no imitations…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:stimulus: was founded in 2001 by Samas, as an extension of the regular Saturday nights he had started doing alongside Glyde at a local pub basement. It all started at Robbin's Well in Leamington Spa, and the first ever event was for Cancer Research, raising £350 for the charity, and featured Shaolin, Pace, Samas and A.Flex.
In early 2002, after a few succesfull nights with Residents Samas, A.Flex and Caution, Samas was approached by Raising The Deep head honcho, DJ Reaction. After a few meetings, they formed Terra:Technique, the objective being they would run events over Leamington and Banbury, with Leamington hosting the up and coming talent from around the country, and Banbury showcasing the A-List DNB DJs. Most of the big guns passed through, from Kenny Ken to Mickey Finn, Zinc + GQ to Pendulum, Mampi Swift to Hype, as well as some one-off old skool nights with Top Buzz, Ratty, Slipmatt and more. After 2 successful years running Terra, Reaction and Samas went their seperate ways, and :stimulus: was brought back to the fore.
Running on the 2nd Friday of every month, it built a solid foundation, and a good reputation nationwide. With DJs such as Hazard, Kryptic Minds, Generation Dub, Skitty, Danny Wheeler, Heist, Utah Jazz, Zen, Subfocus, Holdtight, Rascal & Klone, Drumsound, Adrok, APB, Devize, Xample, The Force, Benny & Aries and many more gracing the decks in the cosy basement venue. within a few months a secondary night was developed, Liquid Stimulus, taking the 4th Friday with some deeeper flavours, with equal success.
In January 2005, :stimulus: was approached by the Cohesion and Skankadelic Techno promotions, to form a new concept in Birmingham, linking 4 promoters for one big party - Underground City. The first event on 25th March 2005 saw Subfocus, Danny Wheeler, Rascal & Klone, Fallout, Devize, Samas, Pace and Buzzy blow up the Custard factory for what was to be the first in a succession of big nights at Underground City.
Mid 2005, and the end of an era came for Robbins Well as new management changed their policy; :stimulus: was to find a new home. This came in the form of Club Silx, and brought the legendary Fabio & Donovan Badboy Smith to Leamington Spa, initially penned as a one-off night. It went off, and demand saw more nights arrive in March 2006, with Grooverider, Bryan Gee and Danny Wheeler passing through. Sadly the club wasn't right for Stimulus, and numerous issues with the club brought that to a premature end, with Samas choosing to pull the night and keep the :stimulus: reputation intac
In February 2007 :stimulus: began a new era in Royal Leamington Spa and was given the honour of hosting the main room of the launch night of new Leamington venue Smack. Pendulum & MC Jakes officially christened the new club in an event that is likely to go down as one of the biggest occasions of its kind in Leamington club history. The following months saw Shy FX, DJ Die, Total Science, Xample, Friction, Drumsound, Andy C, Logistics, Chase & Status, Nu:Tone, Nicky Blackmarket, Matrix, Clipz, Devize, High Contrast, Pleasure, Baron, Mampi Swift, Mistabishi, Dillinja, Cyantific, DJ Hype, Randall, Brookes Bros, Hazard, Break, Heist, Danny Wheeler, Fabio, Danny Byrd, Adam F, MC GQ, DJ Basher, Influx UK, Subfocus, MC Biggie, MC Fearless, Simon Bassline Smith, Commix, Bryan Gee, Futurebound, TC & Taxman make stops in Leamington for more succesful events at :stimulus: new venue.
