TROUBLE, FRI 1st AUGUST: MO' BASS SPECIAL at CABARET VOLTAIRE with PIRATE
SOUND SYSTEM (DJ SET) + HOBBES & ERIK D'VIKING (TROUBLE DJs)*
*ABOUT:*
Our special guests for this month's *Trouble* were discovered in the most
modern of ways: on an internet blog, searching for new music. *Pirate
Sound
System* are so fresh, they have hardly even been signed yet, although on
current evidence that looks set to change very soon. It turns out *MIA /
Santogold* producer *Diplo* is also a fan and recent remixes for the likes
of 'nu rave' indie noise-mongers *Hadouken* (Atlantic), grime star
*Wiley*(Atlantic), Brazilian baile funk popstrels
*Bonde do Role* and maverick old rave veteran *Si Begg*, not to mention a
few of their own productions that have leaked out, prompted Trouble DJs' *
Hobbes* to send a myspace message to *Pirate Sound System *bass camp
in the
*Big Smoke*. Apparently this message got lost in the cyber ether –
how very
typical – but it rapidly transpired that Trouble cohort *Giles Walker*
in *
Aberdeen* (Electrique Boutique, Hush Hush/Snafu), similarly impressed by
some of the aforementioned studio works, had also recently booked *Pirate
Sound System* for a date at his *Hush Hush* night (pipping Trouble to the
post with the Scottish debut by a mere week, people). Following a phone
call between *Trouble HQ* and Giles, he sent the Pirates his own
message and
within a matter of a few days, one email and a couple of phone calls, the
headliner for August's Trouble was sown up - no screwing around with
wide-boy agents, just plain ol' fashioned chat between like-minded souls:
'we like your style, why don't you come party with us?' Bingo. Job's
a good
un, Bob's your uncle and Fanny is, indeed, your aunt.
<http://myspace.com/piratesoundsystem>*PIRATE SOUND SYSTEM BIOG*:
Pirate Soundsystem's *Josh Console* had this to say,
biographically-speaking:
We talked about some of our history and stuff in this
interview:http://electriqueboutique.blogspot.com/2008/02/piracy-funds-terrorism.\

<http://electriqueboutique.blogspot.com/2008/02/piracy-funds-terrorism.html%20>
"Release wise, we were asked by Diplo to take part in Mad Decent's first
remix release and that started the whole musical thing. Since then, we've
been approached by many artists (discography on myspace page) and we're
proud of everyone we have remixed. They are all quality artists who we
felt
we wanted to remix, rather than just a remix by numbers to cram another
genre into the promo disc.
UPCOMING THINGS:
Carvadeya & Jeeday Jawz - She Loves Me (Pirate Soundsystem remix)
*Upcoming artists with major label interest
Si Begg - Big Boy DJ (Pirate Soundsystem tropical remix)
1992 rave piano collaborations Jack Beats coming up, as well as an EP
release on Cutlass Supreme's heavy bass label WIDE.
Also, here's a mix we did for Xfm in Scotland:

*TROUBLE*, we don't really give a d*mn if you've heard of *Pirate Sound
System* yet or not, coz we think they're the sh*t.
