INDEX is a new night dedicated to the intersecting point between Dubstep, techno and electronica. The monthly series of parties will commence on Saturday March 21st at the Civic Underground.
With names such as Villalobos, Luciano and Surgeon collaborating with Dubstep producers and playing Dubstep in their sets and producers such as Skream, Shackelton, 2562, Headhunter, Pinch and many others producing distinct techno infused styles of the Dubstep sound, the convergence between these genres seems a logical progression. This strain of the sound harks back to the early techno experiments of Basic Channel and the resulting minimal and dub-techno aesthetic. For many Dubstep would not be the same without the influence of techno.
To headline the first INDEX series of parties we are thrilled to announce one of the main protagonists in this distinct strain of the sound, direct from Bristol, Headhunter. Bristol is widely considered the spiritual home of Dubstep and a city that has distinct take on the sound. With artists such as Pinch, Peverlist, RSD and fellow label mates 2562, Appleblim and Martyn, Headhunter is considered a visionary who’s own sound lies somewhere between what is commonly described as techno and Dubstep. He has long occupied his own particular niche of the Dubstep scene, sitting comfortably between the ultra heavy bass styles of Skream, Benga and his Tempa label mates, and the deeper Berlin influenced Bristol side of the Dubstep coin.
Headhunter first made his mark in Dubstep by starting a label with Drum n Bass producer, Tech Itch in early 2006. Soon after 2 releases were in rotation, Tempa, the genre's pioneer label soon made the link to sign him exclusively. Hailing from one of Dubstep's landmark cities, Bristol, he has crafted a unique and distinctive style that reflects the soundsystem-inspired culture of his hometown and does justice to its rich musical history. With 2 Ep's released on Tempa and a string of remixes of producers such as Martin Buttrich, Brendon Moller, and Antix- the winter of 2008 will saw Headhunter release his long anticipated debut album on Tempa titled Nomad which was widely considered as one of the genres albums of the year.

Headhunter is supported by a handpicked selection of local DJ’s who’s own interests and take on the sound sit on the fringes of what has defined the genre. Lorna Clarkson, a selector who’s rich musical background will outline where the sound of Dubstep has come from and where it is going. Likewise, Eli is one who consistently plays a unique brand of music and one not content to let the genre wallow within its boundaries. Zerodub and Paul Fraser come with a long history in the deep sounds of UK garage, the foundation sound of what has defined existing and future mutations of Dubstep. To compliment this fine array of Dj’s we a blessed with the soulful and seductive vocal stylings of the one and only Steve Spacek. INDEX takes place in most perfect setting available for such an event, the Civic Underground. Get ready for a night of real future music.
