standard july 159x250 Heat Promo Launches Standard

Tonight at Lava Lounge, the Heat Promotions crew will be launching a new monthly event focused on the deeper and more minimal sounds of dubstep alongside the classic UK Garage sound.

The first event will feature residents Inferno, Amalgam, myself, as well as long time Atlanta dj Double Nil on the decks. Be sure to pay us a visit as it is free all night and we will be downstairs on Lava Lounge’s Turbosound installation, making sure we do justice to the evening’s selections on a quality sound system.

Howell Mill Food Park Opening

Posted on by

hmfp 250x125 Howell Mill Food Park OpeningExcitement today for Atlanta’s food-truck fans as this evening brings the opening of the newly formed Howell Mill Food Park.

Located at the 1927 Emery Street (behind Willy’s near the Howell Mill / Collier Rd intersection). the park plans to offer space for diners to sample offerings from up to ten different food trucks. This is a change of pace from the situation a year ago when the City of Atlanta was a lot more litigious towards food trucks. Additionally, it is good to see some attention being paid to offering food truck gatherings outside of corporate business lunch hours. As someone who works ‘OTP’ in Atlanta I unfortunately miss the lunch gatherings many food trucks regularly make at Stove Works and Atlantic Station.

Of all the things ‘social networking’ and namely Twitter have made more practical, food trucks rank among my favorite. If you are unfamiliar with any of the vendors tonight I have provided links to their pages below. Read up, and hopefully see you out tonight for the big launch!

Tuesday 6 – 10pm is the big day!!!! The Official Truck Line-Up is…. Westside Creamery, Tex’s Tacos, The Pup Truck, Hail Caesar, Tamale Queen, Yumbii, Sweet Auburn BBQ, Yum Yum Cupcake, Munch, and King of Pops!!!! and Live Music by: Wesley Cook! Feel free to bring anything else you may need for a great dinner at our lovely food park!!!!

— Update —
Absolutely lucked out on parking, as @eatitAtlanta pointed out, the crowd seemed to overwhelm the location pretty quickly and this seemed reinforced by the fact that showing up at 7:45 most vendors were out of at least one item and by 8:15-8:30 it was ‘slim pickings.’ That being said, I am glad I went and I am looking forward to the upcoming weeks to see how it all irons itself out.

Upcoming Show: 26-Nov @ King Plow

borgore back 176x250 Upcoming Show: 26 Nov @ King Plow

Click image for presale ticket info

The day after Thanksgiving, Atlanta Dubstep will be bringing Borgore to the King Plow Arts Center alongside Judi Chicago, with local support from Ployd and myself.

 

You can make any comments you want on the irony that a year ago I was running the Brostep Forum, and in a little over a week I will be playing at a Borgore show but I’ve either already commented on it myself, or heard it from someone else. Besides, it doesn’t really matter because in all honesty I’m looking forward to playing this show more than have any show in recent memory. The production at King Plow combined with Music Matters Productions is always top notch; playing on 24×18″s plus a line array, in a factory-turned-art-gallery with lights and visuals to a room as packed out as King Plow gets is a dream for anybody who enjoys DJing. If they tell you otherwise, they’re a damn liar.

That being said, I hope to see those who can make it out at this, the Atlanta Dubstep team is definitely putting a lot of work into this one, and the Music Matters / King Plow combination is among some of the most professional people I’ve worked with ever. Combine that with some of the world’s most recognized talent right now on a holiday weekend and things are primed to get out of control. You can rest assured I am putting a lot of attention to detail into my own set as well; I have wanted to play on the combined King Plow / Atlanta Dubstep systems in that room for quite a while and look forward to making the most of the opportunity next week.

6-Nov : Appleblim @ The Soundtable (ATL)

Posted on by

appleblim2010front 6 Nov : Appleblim @ The Soundtable (ATL)Extremely excited about this one coming up next Saturday, 6-Nov in Atlanta as the Atlanta Dubstep crew brings back one of the first artists we ever brought, and welcome the return of Appleblim. I have pointed out in previous postings the effect Appleblim and Shackleton have had on me; I frequently credit their Skull Disco label as the turning point in my new-found appreciation for the darker sounds of techno, and more recently its distant cousin minimal house. Obviously my appreciation for the latter keeps me well on the pulse of his current ApplePips imprint

Appleblim’s first trip to Atlatna last year was ons of the most diverse sets I have heard live; and probably the first time I ever heard Untold being played on a club system. Every record from Untold, to Joker, to his own productions throughout the course of the evening and I would expect next week to be no different. Sound provided by Atlanta Dubstep, local support from D:RC and Mite. Be sure to come out early and check out the unique food and drink menus offered at The SoundTable and stay late for what will surely be a mind-expanding evening of live music. Complete information available beneath the fold

7-Oct : Soul Shakedown : Free R&B/Soul/Funk

4997596858 4c4d919df9 b 7 Oct : Soul Shakedown : Free R&B/Soul/FunkAnd now for something completely different, me and the rest of the Heat Promotions crew have come up with a new concept for first Thursdays in Atlanta. Taking a departure from our EDM-infused evenings we are taking a step back to the classics to present a night of classic R&B, Soul, and Funk classics.

A majority of the selectors for this evening are planning straight 45 sets, which should be exciting to hear and watch. We have some exciting guests for this as well, tapping the local stylings of Osmose and Grav3y for their first appearances at a Heat event, definitely excited to have them on board alongside Inferno and myself.

If you are looking for something different to get down to next week come down to Highland Ballroom and swivel your hips to some classic sounds, it’s free all night so you really don’t have too many excuses not to drop through.
