In 2000, Zed Bias came screaming into the UK Charts with Neighbourhood, now widely regarded as one of the all time classic UK Garage tracks. And he has not been idle in the meantime. Leading the recent resurgence in the 2-Step sound in the UK club scene the same track was re-released last year with a remix from Roska, fully redefining its importance to a younger generation of clubbers.

As a trailblazer of underground dance music, he is always ahead of the times and his productions grace the playlists of Radio 1 DJs Gilles Peterson and Mary Anne Hobbs, as well as in the record boxes of Toddla T, Skream, Oneman, Benga, Kode 9 and Martyn (who included Zed’s new track ‘Lost on Tenori Street’ on his recent ‘Fabric Live 50’ mix).

This is a rare opportunity to hear the resurgence of a pioneering sound by one of its original instigators. All the groove and charm of UK garage with a rougher, bassy twist – BIG!

Lazka

DJ Slide

This month, No Go Die welcomes Lazka to the infamous underground bunker in Beiluoguxiang.

You may know him as DJ Harikiri, but Lazka has been straining at the leash on the Beijing underground scene with a bevvy of superb brand new studio productions that are bursting at the seams with syncopated genius.

In January our newest recruit gets a full 2 hours to unleash his latest funkstep/afrostep rhythms on the No Go Die army.

Artist:

Uploaded by popular demand, this is a piece especially composed and performed as an intro to the 2010 TedxBeijing event. The theme of the day was “Uncovering Innovation” and featured a host of eminent Chinese and international thought leaders. This track combines two forms of Chinese Opera (Jingju and Kunqu) with a weighty DnB rhythm.

The mp3 sample below is a recording of DJ Slide’s live performance of the track, featuring turntablism with samples of the two traditional Chinese forms. Enjoy!
