Djamba Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hush HushJAMES BLAKE(Mount Kimbie/R&S)Djamba & Giles Walker29th JanOrigin, Aberdeen7 Adv, tickets online here TicketWebTickets also available in One Up soon.Impressing everyone from the dubstep hardcore, the indie fraternity, to the Guardian and Pitchfork; James Blakes pitch bent, warped and sometimes elegant take on the post dubstep landscape cannot be overstated. His collaborations and live shows with Mount Kimbie recently blew critics and listeners away and even with the modest number of solo releases he has under his belt, James has established his place in UK hardcore continuum history.Listen to his take on 'Limit To Your Love' and see what all the hype is really about; Hush Hush presidents and curators Djamba and Giles Walker on the warm up as always.Hush Hush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Strong Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 i didn't know everyone was up his arse, but that's probably because i don't pay attention to the music press (and nor do i really care). anyway, the klavierwerke EP is so good. looking forward to it.

Seven quid is pretty good really. Not a fan of the Feist cover though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djamba Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Can't really see that happening considering every major player and not so major player in the dubstep scene is playing his stuff and raving about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Giles Walker Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Yeah, it's not really the same sort of Dubstep djs who play James Blake anyway, Can't imagine Borgore or High Rankin dropping him in a set for example.The people who know about and would come to a gig with James Blake, know what they are getting so i cant see any of them moaning about it.From the buzz so far it looks like it is gonna be a nice bunch of folks coming down anyway, might even coax some of the indie types out for a change as well. Which will be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
