Artist: Jackmaster

The perfect mixtape to school the opening DJs at any bar, club, etc. etc., Ben UFO & Jackmaster...

The Oki-ni mix series has long been one to follow with prime cuts from the likes of Tensnake , Layo & Bushwacka! and Andy Weatherall to name but a few. This time they have recruited two of our favourite young DJ's to bring the art of the warm up set back to the fore. Recorded in live at Trouw, Jackmaster and Ben UFO decided to go for the art of the long build up rather than both try to showcase their main room tunes too early. [...]

Here we have a brand new mix from Ben UFO and Jackmaster , an ode to the art of the warm-up set. Here are a few words from Ben about his work with his cohort: "This mix is dedicated to the art of the warm-up set. The Colors night at Trouw in Amsterdam recently organised an event where Jack and I were booked alongside Oneman and Cinnaman, a line-up consisting of specialist DJs who don't produce playing for the duration of the night. "Jack and I had been talking [...]

This past Wednesday, Best Buy Theater was treated to one of the the most exciting line-ups... well, ever. Bass Fueled Mischief , AEG , and Scion A/V teamed up to bring Skream & Benga's US Tour to Best Buy Theater with support from some of the biggest names in UK Bass: Plastician , Jackmaster , Hijak , and SGT Pokes . Interestingly enough, this was the least packed I've ever seen Best Buy Theater. The entire back seating section was closed off which accounts for at least 30% [...]

For the past couple of months, we've been talking about (and really impatiently awaiting) one of the sickest lineups to ever grace NYC. BFM , AEG , and Scion A/V have teamed up to bring Skream & Benga 's US Tour to Best Buy Theater with support from some of the biggest names in UK bass: Plastician , Jackmaster , and Hijak . The whole night's being MC'd by Sgt. Pokes (of course). The Wednesday night smasher is part of Bass Fueled Mischief's Bass Week at [...]

So you can't get to Miami this year... but that's okay! NYC's got some ridiculous weather going on as well as an incredible lineup of bass courtesy of BFM. Starting this Friday, Bass Fueled Mischief will be bringing an absolutely sick week of bass music to Best Buy Theater in NYC . To start the weekend off, The X-Tour w/ Excision , Lucky Date , and Liquid Stranger will be making a 2-day stop (March 23 + March 24) at Best Buy with a sound system that peaks at over 100,000 [...]

The South by Southwest madness has already started here in Austin with the Film and Interactive festivals and SXSW Music officially starts on Wednesday. From various sources I have compiled a list of 59 Scottish gigs over the next few days. My head is already spinning. Some caveats on this list. First of all, day [...]

The 2012 SXSW Music Festival kicks off next week with 12 Scottish bands set to invade Austin. Unfortunately the weather forecast suggests that they may be bringing the Scottish weather with them. Nevertheless I'm sure that the barbeques will still be fired up and the margaritas will still flow. On Monday we'll publish the full [...]

As if you weren't already excited for the dons to hit stateside, Scion A/V just released this video to get you even more pumped. As we mentioned January , Bass Fueled Mischief , AEG , and Scion A/V are teaming up to bring you one of the most ridiculous dubstep lineups to ever play NYC: Skream , Benga , Plastician , Jackmaster , Hijak , and the one and only (super silly MC) Sgt. Pokes . If you haven't yet, buy tickets now because I can assure [...]

We recently announced that Skream and Benga were coming back to NYC for a show this March, but the biggest news had yet to come until today. The 'Skream & Benga Presents: US Tour' has an INSANE lineup including Plastician , Sgt. Pokes (of course), Jackmaster , Hijack , Artwork (yes, that's all of Magnetic Man ), and Alvin Risk . Unfortunately, Artwork and Alvin Risk won't be in NYC but we will still be treated to one hell of a show! The [...]

Skream and Benga : Official This is MASSIVE. We've had the extreme opportunity to not only see Skream and Benga perform individually [Check out the video we did for the Skream show @ SMOG 5 Year Anniversary ] to a raging crowd of bass heads, but we've also seen them combine forces like Goku and Vegeta to go Super Saiyan 3 on a full warehouse room at HARD Haunted. So when I see Skream's facebook post this morning that him and his stutter bar buddy Benga are returning to the states, AGAIN, I mentally [...]

Ja ja, nu weten we het wel met al dat nostalgische terugkijken. De laatste keihard geworden oliebol is weggespoeld met een slok doodgeslagen champagne, je oma heeft het rode lintje met de kerstkaarten naar beneden gehaald en je vriendin is al bijna twee weken wanhopig aan het spinnen in de sportschool: 2012 is begonnen! In het laatste jaar dat de Maya's ons op deze aardkloot vergunnen staat er ongetwijfeld een hoop moois te gebeuren. De Eclectro-redactie blikt vooruit: waar hebben zij in 2012 hun hoop op gevestigd? Vincent heeft zin in: [...]

Jack brings the party. Jack Revill is a young Glasgow-based DJ who is known for his party-friendly approach to playing records. The other point of note here is that he's not a producer—Revill has risen to a position of prominence as co-founder of the Numbers imprint, and a key player on Glasgow's underground electronic music scene. Revill has been working at the city's Rubadub record store since the age of 14, and went on to co-found the Wireblock and Dress 2 Sweat imprints in 2007. Between them they dealt in everything from the Baltimore club sounds of [...]

The second day of the Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival took the energy from the previous day's festivities and doubled it, with all of Williamsburg awash in the sound of beats and dancing feet. Rubble from the night before was still littering the streets as the darkness set in, the energy picked up, and New York City's cool kids emerged from their hangovers to start the party all over again. At the Public Assembly Loft, Tim Sweeney stepped in around midnight, spinning his signature blend of house and disco, grooving right along with [...]

So the big news of the past week or so, at least in my world, is something to do with a dictator falling of a chair or something, he hurt his ankle or something…..Only joking the real news came from last Thursday night when Rbma took over the entire London Eye. Dubbed as 30 gigs in one night, we saw a different system, group, or artist take the reins in each pod and basically have a massive party in the sky. Myself? I could not make it sadly. Oh the woe. However [...]
