Dubfire biog

Dubfires jet-black, polished-chrome techno of 2009 harnesses three and a
half years of upward momentum, highlighted by notable productions and
remixes landing at the top of "best of" charts and set lists the world over.
2009¹s "Split the Line [Dubfire Mega Remix]," an alchemic symbiosis of Paul
Ritch¹s "Split" and "Walk the Line," best exemplifies the dark and evocative
sound Dubfire has cultivated since embarking on his solo journey.

In 2006 - after 15 ground-breaking years topping charts, winning Grammys,
and earning acclaim as one-half of legendary electronic partnership Deep
Dish - Dubfire returned to his roots: a diverse foundation spanning punk,
industrial/new wave, jazz, dub, hip-hop, house and techno. "I Feel Speed,"
his first solo release, is a remake of the classic Love and Rockets track
with Dubfire himself on vocals. It marked a musical crossroads in his
passage towards a deeper and darker sound. As Dubfire's productions delved
into techno's moodier, sonically edgy dimensions, critics and fans alike
celebrated the new direction with admiration and enthusiasm.

An avalanche of accolades made tracks like "Roadkill" and "RibCage" instant
techno classics upon release. Covers on Raveline, DJ Magazine and countless
other respected music journals; an invitation to mix the covermount CD for
Mixmag and DJ; an Essential Mix for the UK's Radio One; and glowing
write-ups from Beatportal and Resident Advisor are just a small taste of the
universal acclaim and rave reception. A barrage of remixes and productions
on respected labels‹including Cocoon, Get Physical, Minus, and
Rekids‹inspired the electronic dance music world, earning Dubfire praise
from both DJs and producers as "the DJ¹s DJ" as well as top to bottom praise
from a myriad of online and offline music critics and fans.

By the end of 2007, Dubfire cemented his standing among the most
forward-thinking artists with a slew of notable honors, including two Top 10
placements on Resident Advisor's "100 Most Charted Records of 2007" and the
DJ Award for "Best Tech House DJ." At the 2008 Beatport Awards, fans singled
out Dubfire as both "Best Minimal Artist" and "Best Techno Artist" - the
latter a prized honor he would earn once again in 2009. Other celebrated
industry nods in 2008 include the IDJ "Player of the Year" Award and "Best
Remix" awards - for the dark anthem "Grindhouse [Dubfire Terror Planet Mix]"
- from both Groove Magazine and Raveline Magazine. Dubfire also graced
Raveline Magazine's "Top 10 International DJs" and "Top 10 Producers" polls
in 2008.

Envisioning a launching pad for his own productions while nurturing fresh
talent worldwide, Dubfire took another bold leap forward, launching his own
label, Science + Technology Digital Audio. SCI+TEC rapidly built a die-hard
fan base thanks to well-received tracks by innovative new players like
Delete, Paul Ritch, Rocha & Lewinger, and The Dolphins. In March 2009,
Dubfire presented his sonic vision for SCI+TEC with a DJ Mag covermount
titled "Past, Present, and Future," revealing a personal mix of SCI+TEC's
best and brightest. To date, the label's roster proudly encompasses a
powerful mix of marquee players and hungry newcomers.

A thriving production partnership with techno maestro Oliver Huntemann was
born in 2008 and continues into 2009 with a host of productions sure to
bring the electronic dance scene to its knees with each release. Initially
collaborating with an ocean between them, the duo released two massive dance
floor hits: "Diablo" and "Dios." Anticipation for the Fall 2009 release of
"Fuego" - the third installment of this powerhouse alliance - is at fever
pitch.

As his productions and remixes garnered massive popularity - 8 are listed on
Beatport¹s "Best of DJ Charts, 2009" - Dubfire's goodwill among critics and
fans steamrolled into 2009 unabated. "Split the Line" remains one of
Beatport's top sellers. "Ten Years Cocoon Ibiza," a two-disc compilation
[co-mixed with Loco Dice] met with further rapturous reception, further
whetting fans' fervent appetites for the appropriately titled "Rabid," which
was released in September.

Amongst his contemporaries, Dubfire remains a unique DJ, producer, and
remixer - eager to hone and further evolve his signature sound. With an
unmatched hunger to conquer the latest frontiers in electronic dance music
and its rapidly changing technology, Dubfire delivers the unexpected and has
no intention of slowing down.

acman

Awesome...cant wait for this!

Zascar

Sweet

seannash

would be a savage gig alright.
kinda curious as to why they still drag up his deep dish connection.hes surely big enough under his dubfire alias to pull a crowd

mr biazzi

well they'd wanna fill the place as best they can. could do without hearing grindehouse again tho...

jtsuited

yeah seriously, what's the story with the deep dish in brackets????

VinylJunkie

I reckon the Deep Dish is there to attract the masses in order to fill the place, look at teh first result you get when you type Deep Dish into youtube.

I'm looking forward to this should be a great gig, and I certainly wouldn't mind hearing Grindhouse on a big system.

I've seen him 3 times in the past 2 and a half mths and he played it every time!

VinylJunkie

Woop Woop. So who is going? Im heading in with acman and dave. I know Jeff pulled out because he is a rather large vagina.

joker77

Seriously contemplating it. Doubt any mates would be into it so would be heading in solo. What time you lads getting there at? Tickets still left on the door?

I assume there will be defo tickets left on the door, otherwise we are fooked . Will try get in for 11ish or 11.30, always like to get places early

Zascar

I just bought tickets - but acman just told me on his twitter - http://twitter.com/Dubfire_SciTec they missed a flight and might not make the connecting flight back to Dublin. Fingers crossed he makes it.

I have two tickets but not sure if the other half is coming now so may have a spare one

That's not good - "Will likely miss our connection to Dublin..."

Diego Smartly

Someone asked if he's gonna make it to night, he said:

"Yesss! Even if I have to hire a jet (praying i won't have to!)."

Should be alright, i reckon he's been paid to much to miss it

Davei141

Guys, i WILL be in Dublin to play Tripod tonite! Apparently my recent tweets have some ppl worried.

He will be there.

Hesho

I got a ticket just there, good few left. There is loads going on in town tonite anyway so it would be hard to pack the place

Zascar

Thats good news, I hate when tripod is overfull, just not fun. Will be great if there is a bit of space at least

VinylJunkie

Where would I get a ticket if I wanted one now?

Zascar

ticketmaster

However they are a lot more expensive than advertised. 2x tickets cost me €51.60

VinylJunkie

Cool thanks, I have a mate who works on the door just asked him if he is working to hold onto a few for me. We should be in early enough doe. Should be a cracking night.

Really enjoyed it, Loved Grindhouse and Rabid.

Great sound, wasn't too full but it got a tad monotonous in the middle - visuals were a POS as well and it finished 20 minutes early... but **** One of the best atmospheres at a gig I've seen in years, especially Tripod. Roll on Pan Pot on Sunday

VinylJunkie

Yeah true roll on pan pot. Now that you mention it the visuals where poxy. I liked the way there was loads of room to dance at the back on the dance floor. Great night overall, paid for it a bit this morning though.

Just eating brekkie Anyone in the other rooms by the by? I popped in for a bit of dubstep on the way back from the smoking area and it was fairly hopping.

There was plenty room for everyone which really helped the atmosphere - 8 of us turned up at midnight and just paid the 20; didn't want to advance book cause we were afraid it would be a knacker fest and wanted to gauge the crowd, but we needn't have worried. Ferry Corsten being on the last time probably helped :rolleyes:

joker77

1 word unfortunately - underawed.

Zascar

It did go off when he played Grindhouse and Rabid, but if he hadn't of had them it would have been pretty unimpressive. He started very slow and steady and built, but did not blow it up like I expected. He played some serious cheese towards the end - real eyebrow raising stuff. Fun overall but a little dissappointing

I think that just about sums it up!

Rabid / Grindhouse and a couple of Gaiser tunes went down a storm...as for the rest, well, it was pretty tame for Dubfire standards.

As another poster pointed out, the visuals were indeed a pile of poo. WTF is up with the giant birds (doves) on the screen? Thought I was gonna get shat on in the middle of the dancefloor

So yeah, I had fun but was a little dissapointed...
