This month at Droppin’ Science we welcome the return of special guest DJ/Producer Kidkanevil (first word records), & we also welcome back regular Droppin’ Science contributor & future funk master DJ Druskillz. Join them & residents Matman, Nickname & Daredevil at the Vibe Bar on bonfire night for yet another legendary night out.

Facebook Event here.

Hailing from Tokyorkshire, DJ/Producer Kidkanevil first came to prominence with the release of his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Problems & Solutions’ back in 2007, and has since gone from strength to strength. His lively dj sets often span many genres, from hip hop to reggae to dubstep to old school jungle/dnb, with plenty of lazers thrown in for good measure!

Now three albums deep, his latest LP ‘Basho Basho’ was released earlier last year to great critical acclaim, & followed up by a remixed version featuring some of the most talented producers out there today.

Kidk is also an integral part of the group ‘Stateless‘ who’s critically acclaimed album has recently dropped on Ninja Tune records!

Earlier this year he also dropped a free 7-track EP titled ‘freebeatsnbleeps’ – we recommend you go download that now if you haven’t already, get it at kidkanevil.bandcamp.com

“Basho Basho deserves to put kidkanevil right up there with Flying Lotus.”
Knowledge Magazine

“Thunderous…a vivid display of dexterous beat construction and cultural experimentation. An incredible amount of character bubbles at the surface of evey track.”
okayplayer

“Sparse constellations of lethally-sharpened drum sounds flying around the listener act as a single structure of seemingly impossible strength.”
Wire Magazine

We are extremely excited to announce that the Droppin’ Science Radio studio has moved and has found a new home at the Upper Playground store by Carnaby Street. This means that as well as being able to tune in live via Sensei.fm on the first Saturday of each month 4pm-6pm you can also come join the party live in store too!

The show will continue to be archived on Mixcloud and you can still subscribe via iTunes too.

First one kicks off this Saturday, in association with 31 Brand… come join us, and follow the party to Vibe Bar after where we welcome special guest DJ Swerve (Kiss100) back to the wheels of steel!

Don’t sleep!

Belgium’s ZBS Studio reached out to Mello Music Group about permission to do a video for Oddisee’s “The Blooming”. MMG of course was honored to have them interpret the song and apply their vision to the track. The resulting marriage of visual storytelling & instrumental perfection is a narrative work that tells the story of time’s passage in the life of a boy. The video was directed, shot, & edited by Tomasz Cibulla and Wojciech Drożdż of ZBS Studios in Belgium.

Filled with rich landscapes from Belgium’s countryside, smokey ambers, old typewriters, watches, clocks, and a father and son, The Blooming portrays life’s unfolding through the metaphor of time. Oddisee’s original track was last springs soundtrack to the rains and blooming growth of nature. Rich strings, bold piano, wood block, synth, flute, and snares that rest easy in the backdrop drive this instrumental track from Odd Seasons.

Thanks to everyone that made it along to this month’s Droppin’ Science party at Vibe Bar. Another certified banger of a night!

Shout to Mr Thing for coming through and tearing it down once again!

The next Droppin’ Science party is on February 5 at the Vibe Bar with yet another big night in store.

Last month resident DJs Matman, Nickname and Daredevil ripped the place apart, blazing through fast-paced sets of hip hop & it’s related genres. In February you can expect all this and more as we will be joined by our very special guest, Paul White (One-Handed Music / Now-Again).

Paul White’s production has been generating a lot of noise in recent years, & won himself a lot of high-ranking fans, gaining airplay & support from the likes of Diplo, Mary Anne Hobbs, Benji B and Gilles Peterson. After releasing the acclaimed LPs ‘The Strange Dreams of Paul White’ & ‘Sounds From The Skylight beat tape’ in 2009, 2010′s ‘Paul White & The Purple Brain’ was co-released by both One-Handed and Los Angeles-based Now Again, sister label of the mighty Stones Throw Records.

Check out Paul White’s podcast he produced for Stones Throw records last October.
