Aside from that, he has also done remixes for some of the biggest names in the scene such as the Crystal Method, Freestylers, Bassnectar, Noisia, Diplo, the Wu-tang Clan, and Apex from the critically acclaimed Lifted Music label; not to mention countless collaborations with some of the hottest producers in the scene.

I arrived to a disappointingly empty Shape Bar Friday night. A combination of Bali and I think other events on the night seemed to have the venue representing a bit of an awkward 14th Birthday party and the sausage rolls have run out. None-the-less props have to be given to the DJ’s who played support and the headliners too. Full review after the jump…

Mizhap Productions delivers yet again, one of the biggest fuck off names in dubstep.
Borgore has made a huge impact throughout the world over the last year with his ever distinctive genre “Gorestep”.
The multitalented Borgore is the alias of Israeli Dubstep producer Asaf Borger, who is currently releasing tunes through Shift Records, Terminal Dusk, Trill Bass, Buygore, Zaudio, and Mad Decent.
Borgore has recently completed a massive US and European tour to sold out dates everywhere with critical acclaim. Borgore has now established himself as one of the most ground breaking, exciting DJ’s to rock the global Dubstep scene, with massive hits like “Nympho” which sat at #1 on Beatport’s Dubstep Charts for several months earlier this year!
What happens when you take three of the most exciting, forward thinking and hugely popular bass music artists, put them in a dark room with a few hundred kids ready to rinse, give them a set of decks and let them throw it down on a Friday night in Perth? Knowledge Music must have a gypsy holed up in their offices, as they seemed to predict the unfolding of this situation with extreme accuracy, and had the forethought to aptly title the event, The Blow Out. Yep, shit certainly got hectic as Headhunter, Opiou and Doctor P served up supreme sets and the capacity Shape crowd took to it like junkies to clean needles. Break it down for the full review.
Next Wednesday the 3rd of November prolific independent producer and beat-taster DJ Vadim (real name Vadim Peare aka Daddy V), will touch down at Shape nightclub to inject our nightlife with a dose of soulful, reggae-infused, instrumental hip hop (event details here). Last seen in Perth on New Years Day supporting one of his newfound favourite artists Fat Freddy’s Drop, this time we can expect to rock out to an intimate headline appearance from the turntablism legend who has been described as “one of the few artists creating genuinely new work in the hip hop field”.
Tonight sees Matt Harvey, one half of New Zealand dnb heavyweights Concord Dawn, return to Perth once again to promote the release of the group’s latest album The Enemy Within (due for release on the 1st of November). Event info can be found here.

Founder of the labels Jazz Fudge (1994) and Organically Grown Sounds (2010), A&R, band-master, record-collector, in-house producer of The Electric, One Self and Latin Grammy nominees 7 Notas 7 Colorez / Mucho Muchacho; Vadim has certainly been keeping himself busy… …And that’s before we even mention his DJ’ing which has seen him tour all over the world with the likes of Atmosphere, PE, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Redman, STS9, Kraftwerk, Fat Freddy’s Drop and Roni Size, playing at some of the worlds biggest most prestigious festivals like Glastonbury, Fuji Rock, Roskilde, Exit, Big Chill, and Burning Man. 15 years of non-stop touring have seen DJ Vadim perform more than 2,500 times in over 60 countries!
Make sure you catch the master at work in an intimate Wednesday night show!
The Big Bad Wolf is coming to town, three big bad wolves in fact. They’re not coming to blow down houses though - they’re coming to blow heads. THE BLOW OUT goes down this Friday night at Shape courtesy of Knowledge Music and features what is probably the biggest, baddest dubstep line up this year. Three of the game’s biggest names; Opiou, Doctor P and Headhunter will bring real bass pressure and the beauty of the line up is that the sounds will span the whole spectrum of the genre. Break it down for more info and a couple of tunes.
