The next installment in my Aesthetics monthly is going down tonight featuring two of Pittsburgh's top talents, Ratana and Preslav. A veteran DJ of the Pittsburgh scene, Ratana has and continues to make huge contributions to Pittsburgh's musical landscape, through involvement with the Technoir Audio label, a unique, crowd pleasing DJ style, and an increasing buzz around his original and collaborative productions.

As engineer and co owner of Machine Age Studios, Preslav has proved himeself to be one of the most dedicated and ambitious DJ/Producers in the Pittsburgh scene. Having teamed up with production partner Ratana, the boys are hard at work, crafting a unique style of hard edged, yet deep, techno influenced drum n' bass that immediately began to turn a few heads in the international drum n bass community.

Come down to Z-Lounge tonight and witness two guys that are sure to be marking their place on map very shortly. In addition Pittsburgh favorites JTS, and myself, Depth One, will be warming the night up.

Submerged - DOA Interview

TheDogs On Acid crew have just completed a great interview of stateside DNB pioneer Submerged. Having formed the Ohm Resistance label in the year 2000, Kurt Gluck, a.k.a Submerged, has undoubtedly been a driving force behind the progression of North American Drum n' Bass. Interviewer Mary Morris drops the commonplace Q&A format and presents the piece in a vein that is much more similar to a short biography, making for a considerably more interesting and revealing read.

To read the interview click the picture above or simply click here.

N.phect & Diz:play split.

It appears that the sibling, production duo of N.Phect and Diz:play have parted ways. Collaboration work between the two has become difficult since N.Phect's recent move to Berlin, and each individual has seen growing success with their solo material, so all team efforts between the two have been halted. Here's the press release in what I believe are N.Phect's own words:


In the future, do not expect N.phect & Dizplay work together for an unknown period time.

Over the last year – since N.phect moved house to Berlin in August 2006 – N.phect & Dizplay couldn’t manage to work together and it became obvious that each artist was going to have successful solo projects to work on. This tendency became stronger in 2007 so at this point, we announce our split as producers and dj-wise. We might work together on a tune, but at this moment, this is not included to the artists’ plans.

This split is nothing personal, instead related to the complicated setup caused by living in two different cities.

The website www.neurocode.de will continue as Dizplay’s blog, where you still get high-grade information about releases, gigs & his booking contact.

N.phect’s website is www.myspace.com/nphect, for bookings please get in touch with booking.nphect@googlemail.com
