I have cheap tickets to this until Wednesday if anyone needs any $110 - then online sales only. https://www.facebook.com/events/527936640674861 Natural Touring presents Natural NZ Music Festival’s first-ever Brisbane show. Natural Touring is proud to announce it will, for the first time, bring its Natural NZ Music Festival to Brisbane’s iconic Riverstage on Saturday November 29. The largest showcase of premier Kiwi music outside of New Zealand, Natural Director, Brian Terry, says that after four years, it was time to add an additional show to the bill and is stoked to be treating Queenslanders to this special all-Kiwi music event. Having already showcased top NZ acts in the past, the 2014 Natural NZ Music Festival line-up is its best yet, featuring drum & bass powerhouse, Shapeshifter, NZ music legend, Dave Dobbyn, reggae-funk outfit, The Black Seeds, roots-reggae heavy weights, House of Shem and Sons of Zion, hip-hop masters Scribe and P-Money, as well as pop-rock songstress, Anika Moa. Facebook event link: https://www.facebook.com/naturalmusicfestqld/photos/gm.527936807341511/673761396064142 Website: http://www.naturalmusicfest.com.au "It's really exciting to bring Natural to Queensland because when I originally dreamt up the concept in 2010, I was one of many thousands of Kiwis living in the Sunshine State, so I know the place well,” says Brian. “Queensland has the highest population of cuzzies in the country, so it just makes sense," he says. "And when we were thinking of a Queensland venue, Riverstage was the only option- it’s iconic, very central and only a walk away from two train stations.” “The success of this festival really is a testament to Kiwi passion for their homeland and our music is an important way that we stay connected with Aotearoa (New Zealand),” says Brian. "I think we have genres sorted this year as reggae, Hip-Hop and DnB are so strong at the moment and we have some big guns repping all of those, plus a couple of legends in Dave Dobbyn and Anika Moa.” Natural NZ Music Festival will also play in its home city of Perth, appearing for the fourth time at Perth’s Red Hill Auditorium on November 22. Tickets for Natural NZ Music Festival are available now from http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/natural-nz-music-festival-qld-brisbane-queensland-29-11-2014/event/13004D30993F4EA8

Junkyard Sessions monthly take over Rumpus Room is back Saturday November 8! Following on from the Bass BBQ in the arvo, our resident selectors, DE LA HAYE and KOSHA D, will be joined by guests, Canadian DJ/producer OpenEnd, as well as local DJ/producer Duos (Manifest) From 8pm-2am we'll be serving up the usual soulful liquid & deep Drum n Bass, rolling Jungle, UK Garage and Hip Hop vibes. Free entry! No dress code! BASS BBQ: 1pm https://www.facebook.com/events/1545624782316733/ JUNKYARD: 8pm-2am https://www.facebook.com/events/1449697121943764/ OPENEND (CANADA - The Supreme Hustle & 403DNB) http://soundcloud.com/openend https://www.facebook.com/pages/OpenEnd/189707417735504 https://twitter.com/reeceoednb Reece Anderson aka OpenEnd (OE), hailing from some small Alberta town that you've probably never heard of, but bass-ed (!) out of YYC (Calgary,Canada), is on a mission to make you shimmy and get your girl's booty shaken'! Rooted in metal and hip hop, it wasn't until 2009 that OE discovered the love, positivity and 'Really Good' vibes that accompany the electronic music scene. OE followed the good vibrations (insert cheesy Beach Boys reference) to the bass-debauchery of Shambhala Music Festival in 2010, where the performances of legends Dieselboy, Noisia, Nero and Bassnectar left permanent bass-stains in his party pants. Returning back to Alberta after his journey through the rabbit hole at Shambles (as it becomes affectionately referred to after your first experience), OE discovered he had been infected with a stereophonically transmitted dedication (STD) to electronic dance music (EDM) - later discovered to be incurable. As an outlet, OE got on the decks, eager to spread his EDM fever! OE and friends began injecting the infectious rhythms of hard drum & bass and flesh-eating drops of grimy dubstep into his local scene in Okotokes, Alberta, before gaining the confidence and support to make his move into the Calgary low-frequency market. "He is my favourite DJ... and maybe even one of the best in the world," says Mrs. Anderson (OE's mom). Now rolling with well-respected Calgary go-getters, the Surpreme Hustle crew, OE is making his presence in Calgary known and giving the city one more good reason to turn up the bass. After playing alongside heavyweights acts such as Friction, Noisia, Dieselboy, State Of Mind, Wilkinson, DC Breaks, Sub Zero, Tantrum Desire, Evol Intent, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Crissy Criss, TC, Phantasy, Funtcase, Cookie Monsta, Bar9, SKisM, Camo & Krooked, Danny Byrd, Aphrodite, Mark Instinct, Delta Heavy, AK1200, Mat The Alien, Roksonix, Ill Gates & Original Sin to name a few. The dude has also made festival appearances at Shambhala / Motion Notion & 403DNBBQ. OE's heart beats at 175 BPM - which recently landed him a residency with the 403dnb squadron as well. An excellent alternative to country music, OE throws down smooth, funky, swagged-out and FUN-ASS high-energy sets that get you bouncing like a 5 year old tweaking out on Pixie Sticks. Be warned, don't burn your tongue on this basslasagna, cause when the bass drops, it gets HOT! Reece 'OpenEnd' Anderson is definitely one up-and-comer to watch for on the Western Canada bass-scene, and with any luck will soon be making more headlines than a corduroy pillow. DUOS (Praxis/Manifest) https://soundcloud.com/duos Duos is the Drum & Bass project of Brisbane based Dj/Producer James Millis. A fan of deep, rolling, techy monsters; he has rattled subwoofers alongside the likes of Andy C, Thriftworks, Icicle, Dj Yoda, Black Sun Empire, Bird of Prey, Spectrasoul, Quanta, State of Mind, Kalya Scintilla, The Upbeats, SPL & many more. Pushing frequencies through sound systems at festivals such as: Eclipse, Earth Frequency, Manifest, Harmonize, Deliverance, Kuranda Roots & Island Vibe has allowed him to deliver his Neuro/Ragga sound to an ever growing audience of bass connoisseurs. Whatever the mood the theme is constant, quality underground electronica with a smear of psychedelics, a dollop of wobble and a silly amount of low end.

Proving he's a true internationally known legend of his craft. DJ Katch (Resin Dogs/Hydrofunk) http://www.resindogs.com.au/ https://soundcloud.com/hydrofunk-records http://www.hydrofunk.com.au For the past two decades, Brisbane’s DJ Katch has worked as a DJ and musician. His output over that time and his dedication to Hip Hop has resulted in him becoming a key figure in the Australian Hip Hop community through his life as a DJ, a member of band Resin Dogs, and running his label Hydrofunk Records. Originally accompanying breakdance group B Boy All stars during World Expo ‘88 in Brisbane, it wasn’t long before Katch’s mixes were in demand outside of the breakdance scene. Distinctly aware of the lack of Hip Hop being played in and around Brisbane, he took up a weekly spot at the Brisbane community radio station 4ZzZ, establishing ‘Phat Tape’, a weekly radio show dedicated to Hip Hop. This program was the first of its kind in Brisbane and helped to introduce audiences to Hip Hop from the USA and UK, as well as offering exposure to the many underground Hip Hop acts operating throughout Australia. In 1989, Katch took part in the annual DMC World DJ Championships in Queensland, winning the QLD title and holding it for a further two years. Retiring from the competition in 1991, he promoted a number of Hip Hop parties that year, events that would eventually lead to the formation of the label Hydrofunk Records. These parties were not only the first of their kind in Brisbane, but also brought together the four elements of Hip Hop in a glorious celebration of sound and culture. At this point, Katch and his scratch DJ skills were becoming more widely recognised, he found himself being invited to perform and record for a number of iconic Australian bands including Regurgitator and Elevation. This spawned the early basis for Resin Dogs. Having played supports for Kiwi act Fat Freddy’s Drop, Kora, Salmonella Dub, Shape Shifter, Questlove, Turntables on the Hudson’s Nicodemus, Blackalicious, Lyrics Born and performed at Good Vibrations Festivals, Elements Hip Hop party and the Red Bull Music Academy to name a few, Katch was recently asked to DJ at the store opening in Perth and Brisbane for international fashion label BALLY, producing special mix cds for the nights and performing a special DJ set for GOMA at the Queensland Art Gallery for the Picasso private collection exhibit. A true legend in the DJ game, DJ Katch has not only been at the forefront of the Hip Hop and Turntablist scene since it first kicked off in Australia, but he has continued to lead the charge both as a DJ and a producer. If you want to know where cool, funky Hip Hop and Soul came from, where it is today and where it’s heading, DJ Katch is your man. DJ Bacon (Briztronix) https://www.facebook.com/pages/DJ-Bacon/177059595682643 DJ Bacon is one of Brisbane's best-*‐known and best-*‐loved DJs. He began his DJ career in the mid-*‐1990s at some of the city's formative venues. Across 15 years in Melbourne and Brisbane he has played at most of Australia's iconic club and DJ venues and events. Bacon is rightly famous in the Australian music underground for his effortless blend of hip hop, soul and funk from every era.

Originally hailing from Cebu City, Philippines, where he gained notoriety playing rhythm guitar for prominent Roots/Dub band Jr. Kilat, Jad later migrated to Australia in 2005 and soon after started making beats, as well as playing in the rhythm section of Aussie/Afro hiphop crew Culture Connect. 8M∆N's first Australian release was in 2007 as part of the Electronic/Hip Hop crew Kahibaloo, and went on to win SBS Aussie Hip Hop single of the year 2008 for their track 'Fiesta' with Ozi Battla from The Herd.

VOODOO DRED (Dub Temple Records) http://dubtemplerecords.bandcamp.com/album/voodoo-dred https://www.facebook.com/pages/VOODOO-DRED/499918765182 Born in Mexico City to Haitian parents, VOODOO DRED a.k.a. Vadim Juste-Constant migrated to Australia in 84. He was born into music through his father, a well renowned touring artist throughout Haiti and Mexico. Growing up around Sydney and Brisbane as a kid, then later moving to the Territory as a teenager. His experimentation with overdubbing layers of voices on his tape deck, and teaching himself to programme his dad’s Yamaha Music station keyboard was the real beginning of his journey as a artist and producer. As a producer, he says his earliest influences were Michael Jackson, Teddy Riley, followed closely by Wyclef, RZA and Timbaland. In 1996 he was introduced to dancehall by a friend who brought tapes back from Trinidad, and introduced to jungle in 1999 when another friend use to get the Knowledge magazine subscription from the UK. That year he went back Haiti which inspired him to research the history and music of the Americas and it’s connection to Africa . Fascinated with finding the roots of all the African derived rhythms of the Americas, especially the obscure undiscovered music of African roots in places like Honduras, Peru and Venezuela. https://www.facebook.com/junkyardsessions https://soundcloud.com/kosha-d

Shapeshifter are back in Brisbane, Friday December 7. Busy in the studio all year they are ready to come set The Hi-Fi on fire with their massive energy and a live show you will never forget. This is one you won't want to miss. Shapeshifter have had Record-breaking New Zealand tours, scene-setting appearances at festivals like Glastonbury, The Big Chill, Big Day Out and Parklife, sold-out performances across Europe, worlds-colliding collaborations with Symphony Orchestras, multiple music awards, four EPs and five LPs – three with platinum sales – and an army of fans who return to relive the experience time and time again: the towering achievements of Shapeshifter, the future-shocked soul outfit who hail from Christchurch New Zealand, were built by a living, breathing band of musicians, with all the form-changing sonic possibilities live instrumentation offers. The players in Shapeshifter created their very own heavy soul, a stadium-sized sound which adds layers of drum & bass, jazz, funk, rock and electronica to solid bass culture foundations, capable of morphing from rolling drum & bass to pummelling guitar-driven jams to horizon-shifting electronic soundscapes. This genre-defying amalgamation of influences continues to draw from new source material and inspiration as Shapeshifter evolves, motivating dancefloors worldwide and delivering audiences to the bleeding edge of musical possibility. As at home in an amped club environment as they are playing to packed festival fields, Shapeshifter is a truly adaptable unit. The five-strong lineup of PDigsss (vocals), Devin Abrams (sax/keys/synths), Sam Trevethick (guitar/synths/sampler), Nick Robinson (bass/synths/MPC) and Johnny Hooves (drums) have individually called Auckland, Wellington, Melbourne, Kingscliff, Berlin, Queenstown and, first and foremost, their original Christchurch stomping ground home, yet a chemistry refined over 12 years of playing together means they lock back into formation whenever they regroup.Shapeshifter will lay new foundations this year on their new album set to connect the dots of new sonic terrain and influences. And it’s a prospect that the members of Shapeshifter continue to relish as they ready a new campaign to take these sounds to the world. Tickets available from >> http://www.moshtix.com.au/v2/event/shapeshifter-nz/60204 https://www.facebook.com/events/367971899955341 The new Shapeshifter album will be released early 2013. www.shapeshifterlive.com
