More recently we’ve seen a deluge of tunes from Joker with his somewhat new ally Ginz (http://www.myspace.com/30hzverticalsound). Seemingly new to the dubstep scene from the perspective of those only recently getting into the music, Ginz has actually been part of the Bristol scene for quite a while. Originally hailing from Washington DC, he moved to Bristol in ’98 when he was only 17, went to school, started a business (Multiverse (http://www.discogs.com/label/Multiverse+Music)) and became a citizen. His label, Tectonic (http://www.discogs.com/label/Tectonic), founded with Pinch (http://www.myspace.com/tectonicrecordings), has been pioneering the Bristol Sound since 2005 and their first release, War Dubs, was an early dubstep hit produced by Ginz (under the name P Dutty) and Pinch. He also gained quite a bit of notoriety for his work as 30Hz (http://www.discogs.com/artist/30Hz) , with breakbeat genius Baobinga (http://www.myspace.com/baobinga) as The Body Snatchers (http://www.myspace.com/thebodysnatchersuk), and his label, Vertical Sound (http://www.verticalsound.co.uk/).
For years Ginz has been a huge proponent of all things Bristol and was actually the guy who turned me onto dubstep. When he was riding in my car after a gig in chicago we had him out for and I was listening to a shitty 1xtra grime mix. He told me that I can’t truely get this music on tiny car speakers and that in Bristol they listen to it on giant subwoofers that rattle your brain. The next month i ran into him at Winter Music Conference and he handed me Tectonic Plates #1 and told me that this is the stuff he was talking about. The compilation had tunes from dubstep heroes like, Pinch, Digital Mystikz (http://www.myspace.com/dmzuk), Skream (http://www.myspace.com/skreamuk), Loefah (http://www.myspace.com/loefah), and Distance (http://www.myspace.com/djdistancedub). I was immediately enchanted.
Now, the team of Joker and Ginz is changing the face of dubstep with their new soul/funk based sound. Think of it as if Zapp and Roger (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6e1nf_zapp-and-roger-computer-love-1986_music) grew up listening to Roni Size (http://www.myspace.com/ronifullcycle) and Timbaland (http://www.myspace.com/timbaland). It is by far the funkiest dubstep ever created and destined to be co-oped and mimicked by the mainstream. As a taste of this breakthrough we have for you a remix they did for the indiepop band Zero 7 (http://www.myspace.com/zero7official). Originally a gentle dreamy tune, the boys add their pitch-bending, analogy twist turning it into a grimey, plodding banger that still retains the dreaminess and beauty of the original.
