Live from London - Sin City, Plan B

Appleblim & Ramadanman

Apple Pips, Hessle Audio, Bristol, London

Laurie 'Appleblim' Osbourne may have revved up his journey along the musical motorway with stints in early '90s NME favourites The Monsoon Bassoon. But it was a creative technology course at Uni that sparked this phase of his life into existence and saw the birth of Skull Disco, the legendary label he ran with Shackleton between 2005 and 2008. At early FWD>> and DMZ sessions Laurie and his crew would be the first in, last out, and it was links he forged at these nights that got him a job working at Tempa Records. Since then he's released deep and deadly tunes on Skull Disco, Aus Music, and Ostgut Ton, launched his own Apple Pips label, and has been widely held responsible for propelling a techno-fuelled dubstep sound to the forefront of public consciousness: from his hometown and west country bass HQ, Bristol, all the way to Berlin and beyond. Ramadanman runs the Hessle Audio label with Ben UFO, and, in a few short years, he's gone from queuing up at Londons FWD>> to becoming a figurehead of the scene. Prolific and inventive when producing and in demand worldwide as a DJ, Kennedy does well to avoid the forensic genrefication of dubstep, taking full advantage of the freedom its tempo affords whether approaching a set or performing his curious alchemy on acts like Ragga Twins or Delphic. Not even he knows what he'll get up to next, but we know what he got up to with 'Blim at Sin City, London. Hear for yourselves.
