VOID feat TES LA ROK / Fri Nov 13 / Phoenix

void · October 20, 2009

Tes La Rok hits VOID for his second Sydney appearance on Friday November 13th. It will be almost a year to the day since Tes La Rok smashed the Phoenix Bar to a full house of punters with his bass heavy reggae influenced take on the Dubstep sound. A year has passed and Tes’ standing has grown immensely, reinforcing him as one Dubstep’s best DJ’s and producers.

In support we have one of Perth’s best DJ’s, Rekab. A regular on all Perth’s Dubstep events, Rekab brings his unique jump up and dancefloor styles to Void for the first time. We welcome back Mark Pritchard who returns after a massive European tour and will be armed with the freshest of fresh dubs from all the big players. Deepcycle is back too after tearing up VOID a few weeks back at the Sydney showcase. Void residents Paul Fraser round off a cracking all round line-up.

He is also the man behind record label 'Noppa Recordings'.

For the past decade Tes La Rok has been one of the pioneers in Helsinki underground music culture by holding various raves such as 'Slam It', 'Soulfuel', 'Back 2 Bass' & 'Sub'.

His first ever release was on respected "Audio Couture" (sister label of Moving Shadow) label back in 1998 - under Dice moniker with his partner in crime Dharma1. Shortly after Dharma1 introduced Tes to UK garage & Broken-beat.

Tes La Rok released "Around The World Girls remix" in 2007 and it immediately received anthem status and was later selected as the best Dubstep tune of 2007(alongside Mala's Lean Forward) on Dubstepforum awards.
