YOU CAN CALL ME PELSKI
Fri 19th February
Friday 19th February sees the beginning of the long-awaited You Can Call Me Pelski clubnight...
Since its inception three years ago, the Pelski blog has gone from strength to strength, refusing to post anything but cutting-edge music. Unlike the scenester repetition and throw-away electro clutter found on most mp3 blogs, Pelski set about creating a blog that was always at the forefront of electronic music.
Before long, hundreds of up-and-coming acts were sending their production to YCCMP. And it became the place to go for in-depth reviews and blog-cleared hot-off-the-press downloads.
Now the Pelski crew have put together a formidable line-up for their first event at The Big Chill House - with two of the biggest names ripping up the UK bass rulebook. Like a couple of tenacious terriers barking at the heels of the old vanguard, our headliners - Rustie and Roska - have been hugely influential in pushing the UK bass scene forward and shaping the urban dubstep-dominated soundscape of 2010.
Line-up
- Rustie (Wireblock, Warp)
- Roska (Kicks & Snares)
- The Boog-A-Loo Crew (Trouble Vision)
- Charles Darkly (You Can Call Me Pelski)
Heading the bill will be Rustie, the critically acclaimed producer and DJ who, alongside Hudson Mohwake, Joker and Zomby, is at the forefront of a mutated hybrid of wonky hip-hop and dubstep. Kode 9's Hyperdub snapped him up for his now famous remix of Zomby's ‘Spliff Dub', and, in no time at all, Rustie was remixing the likes of Modeselektor and Various Production, before going on to smash everyone's impossibly high expectations with a string of highly praised original productions for the Warp and Wireblock. Rustie'll be setting the crowd alight with a DJ set filled with shuffling dubstep beats, complex layering of arpeggios, skittering percussion, jagged bass and no doubt his taste for sophisticated US hip hop. Bound to be electrifying.
Roska is often attributed with pioneering the UK Funky scene (emerging out of a culminating collision of future garage, grime and dubstep). As the genre picked up pace in 2009, so too did Roska's production output - he produced some of the dancefloor tracks of the year and lent his remix skills to Zed Bias, Untold and Four Tet. Roska'll be bringing his penchant for energetic garage-influenced house music to the ones and twos. Expect tough beats and funky kicks merged with the skippy, crashing percussion of garage, but with the soul and tempo of house.
Support comes from none other than London's up-and-comers The Boog-A-Loo Crew. Residents at Corsica Studios successful Trouble Vision nights, the Crew have also lent their hands to some tasty dubstep and 2-step production (as well as a new deeper alias under Dark Sky). Hyped by everyone - from the blogs to Mixmag - Boog-A-Loo will be be sure to get everyone's feet moving with their buoyant sets, blending future-garage, dirty dubstep and even bouncy tech-house.

You Can Call Me Pelski co-writer and DJ, Charles Darkly, will be warming things up with a diverse mixture of cutting-edge beats: expect anything from dark techno and percussive house to upbeat tribalism or moody future-garage.
