Wiretap article on Serato: J-Love Quote

A few months back I was hit with some questions by my friend Larisa aka "Ripley" for a story she was writing. Her story is called "Spun Around" and focuses on the change in DJ culture with the addition of products like Rane Serato Scratch. Being a huge Serato fan and using it to play out for years I was more then happy to add my 2 cents, and little did I know so many other DJ's were as well....The likes of DJ C, DJ Flack, DJ Maga Bo and myself chime in along side a very well written guide to life post Serato...

I am just getting to adding some content to catch up our blog from the busy year we have had...so ignore the publish date..

Opening Night Nov. 2, 2007

We have finally uploaded pictures from the packed launch party for Bumpin'Uglies at Etiquette on November 2nd 2007. From around 10:45 on we were pushing capacity of this new little hip bar in SF. Jimmy took the decks by storm.Tank Farm was kind enough to supply us with some great giveaway tees. The recipients confirmed how nice the shirts are! We even had an unexpected beat boxing session around midnight by the bars own mega mouth champion, boom bap, da boom bap...Special shouts out to J-Fi and the many birthdays celebrated with us that night!

We were super stoked on the turn out, as well as the large amount of super cool low-key people getting down. The only down-side on the night however was the rough set up with the Rane/Serato mixer that left Duserock unable to play. We were really bummed that the duo had a man down, though Jimmy Love held the crowd till closing. Next month Duserock will be even more geared up to drop a bomb on the crowd!

We just confirmed J-Boogie (OM Records - Beat Sauce) as a guest DJ next month. So help us keep this killer party going and keep coming back to the blog to hear new tracks and hear our gossip!

RESIDENT DJs

DJ "Jimmy Love"

Jimmy Love has been lighting up the local dj scene with a monthly by the name of Non Stop Bhangra. Recently winning Top 5 Global Nights by the Guardian, NSB has been a catalyst for bringing Bhangra into a new light as a SF dance culture craze. 2007 was good for J Love, as the Surya Dub monthly has gone on to win Best Club Night by the SF Weekly and a Goldie award for Non Stop Bhangra.

A lover of world beats, funk and hip hop...JL has shored up with the likes of DJ Sep, J-Boogie, Soul Salaam, Cheb i Sabbah, Dj Tomas, DJ Dragonfly, Lady Ra, Dj Vanka, Maneesh The Twister, Janaka The Selekta, and shared the decks with Karsh Kale and State Of Bengal of the south asian electronica movement. Through the last two years his weekly party Nickel Bag Of Funk aligned him with some serious SF heads heads such as Racsue, Romanowski, Tom Thump, and Ross Hogg.

You can find Jimmy Loves Bhangra remix on The Rubs MP3 Page

Duserock

DUSEROCK began to establish his name and brand two decades ago as a visual artist. Though visual art was his main form of expression there were other forms fueling the fire. The most powerful being music. Through clubbing in the mid eighties and early raves of the nineties Duserock emerged as an inspired yet fledgling DJ. Back in1992 with weekly residencies in Denver, Colorado, his appreciation and knowledge of countless styles set the pace for a well rounded selector and mixer.

Since 1992, Duserock has played consistently nationally and abroad. He has opened for the likes of Sting and Sheryl Crow. He has played alongside DJ’s Dtek, Swingsett, Photek, Dubtribe, Michael Anthony, Hawke (aka Gavin Hardkiss) and many more.

In addition to his interest behind the decks, Duserock brings his musical influence to the dance act Drop Culture. Drop Culture has appeared on recordings for respected dance labels including Om Records, Y4K Distinctive Breaks, Terraform Records, Lo-Rise and Mixed Elements. They have been featured in Time Out NY, Rolling Stone, Spin, Maxim's Blender, Muzik, and BPM (As the 'Record of the Month'). Duserock and Drop Culture have received praise and support from industry giants like John Digweed, Paul van Dyk, Groove Armada and Pete Tong (using Drop Culture for his Essential Selection).

When not Djing, Duserock can be found doing Graphic Design by day and creating by night. Whether that be honing his skills in the music production realm or futhering the existing visual world that he is reknowned for!
