LoDubs/Shift Present 6BLOCC | DJUNYA | JON AD | BLEED

NOTICE: DUE TO UNALTERABLE CIRCUMSTANCES, 6BLOCC WILL BE UNABLE TO BE REPATRIATED TO THE U.S.A. IN TIME FOR THIS SHOW. THIS EVENT WILL NOW SERVE AS A BENEFIT FOR 6BLOCC, WITH PROCEEDS GOING TO COVER HIS SIZABLE LEGAL AND PERSONAL EXPENSES RELATED TO HIS MONTH'S DETENTION IN MEXICO.

Details are sketchy at this point, but the long-story-short is he is awaiting a flight from Mexico City home, which is being arranged by one of two U.S. Government agencies operating on behalf of U.S. citizens in Mexico. Initially it was confirmed the flight would be Monday of this week (They even provided a confirmation number) but due to some issue it has been delayed until later this week, meaning he will be free soon, but not in time to appear at these dates, much as he fervently wanted to, both for the principality of keeping true to his obligations to the fans, and to rebuild financially from the expense of his detention.

In light of this, We are reducing the cover to $5 (Or more, if you wish to donate to the cause) . All other performers will be featured, plus a surprise guest, to be announced the night of the show. As it is a benefit for 6Blocc, this night will not only help him get the above issues sorted, but will be a way for us, Artists, Organizers, and Attendees alike to demonstrate our support, and show cause for his next Portland appearance, which if all goes well will surely occur in no time at all.

In addition, R.A.W. and 6Blocc CD's, T Shirts, and Slipmats will be available at the show for purchase in an effort to further the cause.

Thanks,
Jon

6blocc

The undisputed king of west coast bass. Going back to his Hip Hop heyday of the late 80's, and all the way forward to his sound system destroying dubs circa:now, the man known as 6Blocc (and sometimes R.A.W.) has a passion for the next sound, whilst keeping all those years of party rockin' skills embedded in each productions genome. Case in point, His recent remix of "More Bounce To The Ounce", a G Funk Classic, made new again, which was released last month as a LoDubs/Mad Decent split 12" with Diplo on the flip.

Expect a set filled with devastating dubs, all seamlessly and real style layered together with two decks and a mixer, because that's all this soundman needs to slay the dance....

Jon AD is founder of the labels losonofono (Chicago house/Skweee) and LoDubs, America’s Premier Dubstep label, which was founded in the winter of 2006.

Elements of Jon AD’s DJ sets may include each, or all of the above. He is a founding member of the longest running Dubstep night in Portland, Oregon, Various, in addition to the Dancehall/Dubstep night Version, and has maintained residencies in San Francisco and Milwaukee/Chicago when residing in those cities

LoDubs is not your ordinary dance music imprint, nor is Jon A.D. a young upstart. The label is run from inside Anthem Records, a record store (and label of the same name) that Jon owns, and which specializes in limited-edition metal, noise, and drone releases. This may seem contradictory, but Jon sees a strong connection between metal, noise, and dubstep. “Dubstep is so much about drum structures. And when you increase the air and rhythm in tracks, that allows drone and other frequencies to come out. Scorn’s stuff is very metal, and Burial and Boxcutter have some of those elements as well.”

The history of Jon AD reads a bit like a peoples history of innovative electronic music in the United States. Born in Eugene, Oregon, and from a young age attracted to all aspects of sound, it was in his teens that he first discovered Electronic music, and realized that it had as visceral of elements as Punk Rock when combined with heavy amplification.

LoDubs has emerged as among the strongest in a short list of labels representing bass driven music in the US, and arguably the only one largely representing artists from North and South America, with over 20 releases from artists as far north and Toronto and as far south as Venezuela, in addition to those from the UK, Germany, Japan, etc.

The future will see Jon AD and LoDubs continuing to blur the lines between what is one genre or the other, be it through the releases, The multi genre monthly founded by Jon AD, Monkeytek, and Ryan Organ in 2006 known as Various, and/or through his DJ sets.
