The Baron of Bass is back, this time heading to Shape and bringing with him a brand new arsenal of dubplates as he prepares to drop his second EP on Trouble and Bass.
DEATHFACE has been rocking dancefloors for over 10 years under the name Johnny Love, blowing up worldwide a few years back as part of the LA electro juggernaut Guns’n’Bombs. Johnny has since moved into darker, dubbier territory, delivering some seriously nasty electro-rave-dubstep hybrids with two EPs on Trouble and Bass, the New York label responsible for the like of Drop the Lime, AC Slater, Rico Tubbs and more. Alongside Johnny comes Perths very own Bass Royalty, Shockone, who has been making waves in the global d’n'b and dubstep communities for a few years. With a pile of huge singles and remixes under his belt he is preparing to drop his highly anticipated debut album in 2011. Solid Local support comes from the finest players in the game Rekab (PDMA winner 09/10) and D.Y.P.
Remember when your parents used to tell you to turn your music down? Your latest Skitz Mix or Snoop Dogg album would get you into all sorts of trouble. Nothin’ but “god forsaken noise” the old timers would say. They just didn’t get it. Well Friday night gave us all the oppurtunity to get one back on Pops and the Old Lady as party makers Tick Tock and record labellers Paper Chain combined their powers to create Trouble & Bass; a bass music spectacular featuring ex Guns ‘N’ Bombs badboy Deathface, and an all star local line up to bring the bass to the place, more specifically Ambar. Break it down for the full review.

Repping T&B we have Johnny Love AKA DEATHFACE, formerly of LA electro juggernaut Guns’n’Bombs. Johnny has since moved into darker, dubbier territory, delivering some seriously heavy electro-dubstep hybrids on the worlds best labels before recently dropping his debut EP on Trouble and Bass.
In true Tick Tock style support comes from the biggest players in the Perth scene.. known worldwide for his mammoth D’n’B releases such as ‘Polygon’ and ‘The Sun’, Shock One will be in the house to throw down very a special Electro-Dub set. Paperchain Jedi Masters, Kit Pop and Zeke join forces for some dex’n’fx mayhem, Rekab brings his PDMA award winning dubstep skills whilst local dorcia posterboy CLOMAS rounds out the night with his baddass brand of electro.
Perth has proven that we love the bass and this will undoubtedly be one of the heaviest nights on the calendar. The show is expected to sell out so grab a ticket while you can!
