Aesop Rock "None Shall Pass" Tour - 9/11/07 - Pittsburgh

Currently touring in support of the recently released "None Shall Pass" LP, Aesop Rock came through Pittsburgh's Rex Theatre last night, fully equipped with fellow Definitive Jux label mates: Rob Sonic, Cage, Blockhead, and DJ Big Whiz. The show was definitely hot, even though amount of heads was thin when the doors opened at 7:05, by 8:30 the place was packed, maybe even more so than Aes' last appearance a couple years back. So while the show was dope, I'm gonna lay slim on a critical review because I got the tore the fuck up at the bar, and the details are definitely a bit fuzzy. My photography skills need some work and my camera's pretty old, but check the pics for a glimpse of what was definitely one of the hotter hip hop shows I've been to this year.

FUZZ! Presents FANU - 9/19/07

On a limited 3 city US tour, Fanu will be bringing his unique Drum n' Bass stylings to the BBT on Wednesday, September 19. Fresh off the release of his highly rated "Daylightless" LP, Fanu is going to be sure to bring the science and educate all with some relentless drumfunk. This is probably the only chance many in the Pittsburgh area will ever have to check this dude, so this is definitely not the time to be caught sleeping. For those unfamiliar check FANUmusic for the man's personal page, which has numerous mixes available for your listening enjoyment.

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.
