Artist details:

Bogdan Raczynski- www.bogdanraczynski.com

Born in Poland, raised in the USA and schooled in Japan, Bogdan finally arrived in Europe via a homeless spell busking on the streets of Tokyo. Wherever he went he was always creating new music and in '99 he was signed to Richard D James' Rephlex Records. He went on to produce a slew of groundbreaking records for the lable including a collaboration with Bjork in 2005 and several critically aclaimed albums and EPs. His live shows are incomparable, you will never be the same after witnessing one….

Boxcutter- http://www.myspace.com/barrylynnmusic

Barry Lynn is the hugely talented and imaginative producer behind Boxcutter. After releases on Hotflush, Planet Mu snapped up his debut album Oneiric and have since released the Tauhid EP and his next two albums Glyphic and Arecibo Message. Genuinely innovative and wide ranging Boxcutter’s music has a dubstep foundation but demonstrates elements of acid house, jazz, garage, jungle and IDM amongst others styles. His 2 hour set in room two is sure to be quite a journey.

Kid 606- www.myspace.com/kid606

With influences from Autechre to Blondie via Lee "Scratch" Perry, Black Sabath and Jeff mills Kid 606’s eclectic and wonderfully irreverant music has rocked dancefloors the world over. With releases on his own Tigerbeat6, Shockout, and Tigerbass lables and countless others, the ever evolving Kid continues to surprise and amaze.

The Panacea- www.myspace.com/panaceanmusic

Mathis Mootz, the teutonic mastermind and producer behind The Panacea from Wuerzburg, Germany, has developed and perfected his sinister drum and Bass mashup style over the years. His fierce and uncompromising sets are fueled by wreck-step beats and feature elements of hardcore techno, drum'n'bass, jungle and industrial to create a unique and explosive sound.

Neil Landstrumm- www.myspace.com/neillandstrumm

A true pioneer of UK electronic music, Neil Landstrumm has released work on many of the most recognised labels in the industry since 1994, including Peacefrog, Tresor and Planet Mu. He is an artist who always seems to be at the spearhead of experimental, low frequency electronics, straddling genres with an ease that his imitators have struggled to achieve. Landstrumm's amazing new live show weaves British electronic heritage into a thoroughly modern bass experience.

Goth Trad- www.myspace.com/gothtrad

A unique producer with a unique style, Goth-Trad has emerged from the Japanese electronic scene in the last decade as one of the most arresting artists from his generation. Freely playing samplers, keyboards and self-made instruments, ‘The Sound Originator’ Goth-Trad creates remarkable dance music with an abstract approach. With releases on lables such as Planet Mu, Deep Medi, Disfigured Dubz and Soul Jazz Records Goth Trad has undoubtedly put his stamp on the scene. As Hyperdub label head Kode 9 put it ‘Goth-Trad is a one-man army’, his relentless tour of live shows have always left every audience wanting more.

Point B- www.myspace.com/pointbmusic

Point B is the creation of writer and producer Richard Bultitude. His music is an intriguing, textured and bass rich take on the Dubstep/2-step sound. Fans of his electronic peers such as Burial, Autechre and Tipper will find this potent brew infused with reflection and bittersweet calm.

Jahba- www.myspace.com/jahba

Gonzo junglist Jahba never disappoints with his explosive, high energy live junglecore sets featuring elements of reggae, metal, hip-hop and irreverent comedy vibes.

Kid Kameleon- http://kidkameleon.com/

Kid Kameleon is in his 2nd decade mixing and matching every break- and bass-derived genre under the sun, from hip-hop, dancehall, glitch and downtempo to dubstep, jungle breakcore, club and experimental. He has been part of the ground breaking Soundlab (New York), Shockout (Oakland) and Surya Dub (San Francisco) crews and writes for XLR8R magazine on all things bass-related.

Amen-Tal- www.myspace.com/amentalsoundsystem

Lenkemz will be repping in room three for Norwich’s finest amen smashing mentalists.

Tinker- http://www.tinkerbeats.com/

Tinker is the resident laptop mistress of the long-standing and well-respected San Francisco arts collective False Profit. Recently her tunes have been getting serious attention in the fertile west coast music scene. Her shows are sure to put smiles on faces and wiggles in hips.

Parasite- http://www.parasite.org.uk

Bristols finest and Death$ucker head honcho Parasite is sure to get the party jumpin as he always does with his jungle/breakcore tearout sets. VJ genius Anakissed will be providing an exclusive visual treat to feed the senses!

Missaw- http://agency.thecentrifuge.co.uk/missaw

Missaw is The Centrifuge’s founder, label curator and resident miscreant. Known for his versatility behind the decks, for this event he'll be packing a stack of acid and drill'n'bass that has shattered unsuspecting speakers and eardums across Europe this year.

TWEEDLEWHOME? AND THE UNASHAMED DJS TBC
LIMEWAX.

Maxim Anokhin was born in the Ukraine in 1988 but moved to the Netherlands at the age of 11. He started making music early and at just 17 he released Changing Crisis, his first EP. Since then Limewax has become one of the biggest names in drum&bass. His distinctive hard sound and unique drum programming have made a huge impact on the changing sound of the music and make his style instantly recognizable. With releases on Tech Itch, Freak, Obscene, Tech Freak, Bastard Child, Avalanche, Algorythm and Sinuous Recordings along with further pressings on his own label, L/B Recordings, a residency at the legendary Therapy Sessions and a worldwide performance schedule Limewax’s influence is sure to continue to grow.

ROTATOR.

Peace Off head honcho Rotator aka Mr Kill is the master of 4 to the floor mashup. Undoubtedly one of the best and most consistent producers in breakcore Rotator’s music is heavily influenced by hardcore and ragga as well as metal, hip-hop and a punk attitude. Incredibly heavy yet infectiously danceable, hundred mile an hour hardcore morphs into fuked up break beats and frenzied amens rattle over ragga samples. Expect an explosive hour of mayhem from France’s finest.

XANOPTICON.

America’s splinter break badman Xanopticon makes complex and terrifying music which defies comparison. Since the turn of the century he’s been shaking dancefloors to their foundations with his industrial and psychotic beat destruction and sinister soundscapes. Xanopticon is not for the faint hearted but those who brave his set will be sure to witness an uncompromising and unusual performance.

PARASITE vs IRONSIDE.

We’ve been lucky enough over the years to be able to draw on some fine local talent to keep the Mongrel dancefloors bouncing. Death$ucker head honcho Parasite is amongst the finest of this Bristol talent and he never disappoints when behind his laptop. As a top quality producer, record label and online music shop boss he can dig pretty deep and when he’s played for us he’s normally rinsed out a ferocious ragga-jungle/breakcore selection which has had Lakota and The Blue Mountain jumping. Ironside’s eclectic mixes suit the Mongrel sound down to the ground and as a result he’s become a true stalwart- rocking reggae and ragga through dubstep and jungle to hardcore, breakcore and gabba. So this time we’ve pitted the two of them against each other to spur them on to even bigger and better things.

SVENGALI & PORKCHOP.

The Mongrel soundboys will churn out the finest in drum&bass, jungle and breakcore just like we’ve been doing since we kicked things off in Jan ’06.



So with the main room lineup looking heavier than Godzilla we’ve gone all dubbed out goodness in room two.

ANDY SCHOLES.

Andy Scholes has been making roots reggae and dub since 1990 and has established himself as one of Bristol’s finest producer’s in those genres. He has an impressive back catalogue of releases and a truely enviable list of collaborations and contributors to his many projects including Horace Andy, Preddi, Prince Green, Stryker Dread, Ras Zebbi, Dallas, Donette Forte, Steve Harper, Johnny Clark, Willy Williams, Tony Tuff, Daddy Ants, Ghardian, Carosene Oil, Pacey, Leroy Gibbons, Ragga Twins, 3PM, UB40 and Izyah Davis. Andy’s been hard at work in the studio of late so expect some exclusive dubs for this show.

Reggae, Ragga, Dancehall and Dubstep will all be represented in this room with sets from some familiar Mongrel faces and some new ones. THINKING, SKYLION, TOKIN MAN DEM and DJ TELE all on board to rock the upstairs.



And after the success of the third room styles on NYE we welcome back the theme of the unashamed djs for the wee room. Once again we haven’t filled our quota for this section so if you’re keen to come and play and don’t mind ruining your cred send I a pm and we’ll see if we can squeeze you in.



Lighting and visuals will be provided by the Blunderphonics boys again after a fine display for us on NYE. This time, with both Matt and Will on board, we’ve been promised even more.



Thanks to everyone who's helped out over the last three years and those that have just come along to party. Hope to see loads of you there to wish the beast a happy birthday.

It's been a lot of work but its definitely been worth it. Who know's if we'll last another three years but we're gonna give it a damn good effort.

There'll be cds and stuff to give away.... anyone would think its your fuckin birthday.

SATURDAY 7TH FEB. 10-5ish. THE BLACK SWAN

Mongrel @ The Croft - Sat 1st November 2008

Mongrel @ The Croft
Saturday 1st November

Room One- Drum&Bass/Jungle/Breakcore:
GEIN- (Habit/Freak/Moving Shadow/Tech Itch/USA)

SVENGALI vs PORKCHOP- (The Mongrel Soundboys)

TELE- (Mongrel/Soundwarr)

GEIN
Gein, a trio of producers formed in early 2004, have become hugely popular amongst those who like their music dark and brutal. Named after the notorious psycho Ed Gein who spread fear through America in the ‘50s Gein are now terrorizing dancefloors the world over with their twisted brand of drum&bass. Welcomed into the Freak Recs/Therapy family they make hard, heavy dnb with complex drums patterns and tortured bass lines. Gein have a dark and intense sound which is making an impact the world over.
www.myspace.com/gein1

JAHBA
If you haven’t had the pleasure of witnessing a Jahba live set then you’ve got a treat in store. A highly nonconformist producer and a controversial personality within the US jungle/breakcore scene Jahba is about as far away from conventional as is imaginable. His sets take in widely different genres and emotions- furious, musical, angry, epic, funny and insane. He likes to call his brand of music Gonzo Junglizm and when we had him over in August last year he made it one of our best shows with an incredibly entertaining set and, as he lurched about the stage, cigarette holder in hand, there was definitely a touch of the Hunter S Thomson about him.
www.myspace.com/jahba

Support from Mongrel’s Svengali and Porkchop with some hard hitting DnB and Jungle.

Room two bringing the fiya as per. This time we welcome Tokin’ Man Dem of Sureskank Convention to the Mongrel fold and Don Angelo who always brings some nice rub-a-dub and dancehall sounds. Holding tings together as always is the one like Tele.
11 til 5, £5 all night.

Lynn Standafer aka END.USER is a cornerstone of both the international breakcore and drum and bass scenes. Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio but now living in San Francisco he is a prolific and versatile producer who straddles genres, borrowing styles and samples from anywhere and everywhere. His drum programming is second to none and he finds a way to combine intensely musical works and haunting melodies with blistering jungle and apocalyptic breakcore beats. Enduser has released work on Ad Noiseam, Peace Off, Outbreak, Hymen and too many more to mention. He has had support from, amongst others, BBC Radio's Mary Anne Hobbs and has played at festivals and events the world over. His 2008 album 'Left' on Ohm Resistance showcases his talent and versatility but is largely focussed on the dark and intense drum and bass style which is all his own. This is an artist at the top of his game and his live sets are something to behold. We are very, very excited to have him at Mongrel.

www.myspace.com/enduser

Bristol’s own PARASITE is best known for helming the consistently great Death$ucker label which boasts the scene's best and most eclectic roster- with releases from Bong-Ra, knifehandchop, Krumble, Monkey Steak, d'kat, and DJ Ripley. He's also the head honcho of DSWAT, one of the most active online mail-order stores, and was, of course, a driving force behind the best night Bristol has ever seen- Toxic Dancehall (RIP)- and the Goatlab that has risen from its ashes.

www.parasite.org.uk www.deathsucker.org

RAXYOR is a New York producer on tour in Europe over the autumn. He's booked to play alongside all the breakcore greats at festivals and club nights across the continent including Bangface 60 in London. Although surprisingly little known on these shores he is well respected in the industry and will surely make a big mark on breakcore in the future. He makes intricate and original breakcore of the highest standard. Check out his stuff here:

www.myspace.com/raxxyor

Dissident’s ALKEMY and Mongrel's SVENGALI will be providing the support in the main room with some hard hitting d'n'b, the toughest jungle and a soupçon of breakcore.

With an extra hour to fill we've been able to add some late additions to our already bloated line up. AMEN HOMES will be getting us started with some jungle stylings and rounding off the evening like a pungent cheese board will be the insane sounds of Blunerphonic's BREAKWHORE and GIZMODE playing what promises to be a most interesting live set. You can check out some of their stuff on:

www.myspace.com/breakwhoretunage and www.myspace.com/gizmode

In room two, as per normal, we have scoured the vicinity for the finest talent Bristol has to offer when it comes to reggae, ragga and dancehall sounds. This time we think we've done a pretty good job with THE P.R.A.N.K ALLSTARS aka IRONSIDE, MIDAS and DOGBOY who are bound to bring the toughest sounds to the dance. We're also very pleased to welcome the globe trotting CRIDGE of UP BUSTLE & OUT and NINJA TUNES fame to the mix. Grassroots' SKYLION and our own DJ TELE always bring the fiya and this will be no exception.

ONLY £5 ALL NIGHT!

Open 10 til 5

Hope to see lots of you down there. This is bound to be one of our best to date.

Mongrel Pup @ The Tube - 27/09/07 w/ Ironside, Jay Nom & Rustika

An extra special Mongrel Pup in September celebrating Dan Porkchop's birthday and Svengali leaving Bristol on his travels.

This time the emphasis will be firmly on the jungle side with Bristol veterans Ironside from P.R.A.N.K and Jay Nom representing for the mighty Death$ucker. As Rustika was unable to play his set at the last one due to unforeseen circumstances he's back again for this one and we hope this time he'll get a chance to spin some plastic.

Naturally Mongrels Svengali, Porkchop and Tele will all be present to provide a splendid blend of reggae styles befuddled jungle beats and bass.

10 til 4. £3 all night. Thursday 27th September 2007 @ The Tube, 1 Unity Street Bristol BS1 5HH
