Playtime present Friction & SP - March 18, Next Level 3 deck Bizness @ Black Cat

john doePosted: 29 Jan 2006, 6:32pmrecovered

Saturday March 18th sees the return of Friction alongside the SP to Adelaide to Black Cat.

At 28 years of age, Brighton raised Friction is without a doubt one of the most talented DJ-Producers to make a significant impact in Drum & Bass in recent years.
As the releases started to flow and the word spread about his ability to enthuse a dance-floor, regular flights out of London took him to play at events in Holland, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Australia, Japan, USA, Singapore & France to name a few. Then came the first real acknowledgment of his talent, with Friction winning the title of 'Best World Newcomer' at the 2002 'Drum and Bass Arena' awards. People really were starting to take notice of the extreme talent he was offering. With more heads hearing of his skills and tracks like the massive 'Robocop' and 'Electrolux' smashing dance-floors worldwide 2003 saw Friction win Knowledge magazines 'Best Breakthrough' award. Things were rounded off with a link up to Dillinja and Lemon D's Valve Recordings and the launch of his own label 'Shogun Audio'. He is now regarded as one of the scenes front running DJ's alongside names like Andy C, Zinc, Hype and Mampi Swift and has regularly demonstrated his skills to a global audience via BBC 1Xtra on his fortnightly 'Mix Show'. 2004 saw Friction hit success in the CD market with the massive 'Bingo Sessions Vol.1' CD mixed alongside DJ Zinc which graced the UK album charts. In the 2004/2005 DJ Magazine world DJ poll he was the 4th highest ranked drum & bass DJ. This was followed up with another 4th place position in the 'Accelerated Culture' awards as well as taking home the 'Best Newcomer' title at the same event. Other recent highlights include his 'Next Level' mix CD on valve which was released early last year. 2006 and Friction is in the middle of taking his brand new 3 deck 'Next Level' tour across the world as well as various mix album projects and singles forthcoming on Valve, Shogun and Tru Playaz. The UK's hottest, freshest drum & bass DJ talent is undoubtedly Friction and its time to take things to the next level.

SP MC is one of the blazing young guns representing the new wave of UK drum and bass MCs. Beginning his career at underground events before stepping up alongside MC GQ at his Emcee recordings events, he was quickly nominated in the “Best Newcomer MC” category in the Knowledge magazine and Drum and Bass arena awards.

His lyrical ability and clarity of his quick-chatting have won him worldwide acclaim and a spot alongside DJ Friction and DJ Zinc in the massive Bingo Sessions Volume 1 CD. He can be witnessed at many nights throughout the UK including Renegade Hardware, Metalheadz and Breaking Science…

Together they're ready to rip shit up on 3 decks, 2 cdj's, a mixer & a mic :w00t:

Not having him represent would bring tears to my eyes!

can see this joke aint gonna get old anytime soon :grin:

its ok josh, ill be representing. might just try and ride the train next time rather than get hit by it.

in other news - friction is one of the few dnb djs comparable to andy c. if you went and saw andy c, go see friction and you will not be dissapointed. also, sp is one of, if not the best dnb mc going around at the moment too. add 3 decks to the equation and its gonna be FKN LARGE.

Prevail: To prove to be stronger and in the position of greater influence and power
Avail: Help, advantage, or success in achieving something

That’s right still though yeah? I did not prevail in this situation.
Can be either/or? LD? Help :err:

& I don’t love you :tongue:

sorry for the thread hijack lol

In your initial post, you would've been right if you had said: " I tried but I did not prevail".
What I thought you meant to say was: "I tried but to no avail".

I've answered your cry for help now and I dont love you either so that makes us even :kiss:

Grimey and Dave: You know that I dont need RA to tell you two that I think you two are cool, you know how we do :cool:
