<p>The Abassi All Stars is a collective of musicians based around Neil Perch’s Zion Train recording studio in Cologne. The project is co-ordinated by Neil and has been released on his Deep Root and Universal Egg labels. The current participants are Neil Perch, Dave Hake (trumpet), Bigga (trombone), vocalists Fitta Warri (Jamaica), Junior Kigwa (Rwanda). Dubdadda (UK), Sis Sanae (Japan), Kenny Knots (UK), Empress Rasheda (UK), Earl 16 (Jamaica), and Luciano (Jamaica).</p>
<p>Fitta Warri is a Bobo chanter in the style of many current Jamaican artists but Fitta has one outstanding facet that the others do not – he speaks a message of oneness and love for the whole world – not just a selected few and he speaks it with wisdom and vision.<br />
Born in St D’Acre, Jamaica and currently out of Franklyn Town, Kingston, Jamaica; Fitta has been a songwriter since the tender age of 14 and recorded his first release ‘Them Too Haunted’ on the Addiction rhythm for Rolling Records at the Marley’s Tuff Gong studio.</p>
<p>The Dubdadda, or Jono as he is known throughout the reggae world, is one of the mainstays of the UK reggae scene. Dubdadda has been working with Zion Train in the studio, as an integral part of the new live show and as the main mc on Zion Train Sound System sessions.</p>
<p>Sis Sanae is an up and coming roots artist from Yokohama, Japan. She has two releases on the Deep Root imprint &#8216; Sufferin&#8217; and &#8216;Free Jah Children&#8217;, both produced by perch in the Zion Train studio. Sanae has also recorded for the Mighty Massa production outfit in Japan.</p>

He also owns and runs the Abassi Hi Power sound system. Remix, Production and writing credits include: Gentleman, UB40 (‘Homegrown’ album 2003), Luciano, Beenie Man, Jack Radics, Gregory Isaacs, Alton Ellis, Markus Stockhausen, Robert Miles.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Original Roots Dub / Dance]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ZT_logo.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Zion Train are Dub/Dance pioneers and have been undisputed leaders in the genre for more than 15 years. The band have been heavily involved in alternative and DIY underground culture since the 90s as well as being purveyors of the finest Roots Reggae music throughout this period. They are one of the finest live dub acts in the world and promoted the practice of dynamic onstage dub mixing which they perform alongside acoustic instruments and the best live vocalists.</p>
<p>Zion Train was founded by Perch (live dub mixing/production), in 1990 and he was later joined by Cod (melodica/production), Tench (production), Molara (voice), Hake (trumpet), and Forkbeard (trombone). Between 2001 and 2005 Dubdadda added extra live vocals and Bigga replaced Forkbeard on trombone in 2001. The live line-up has always been very flexible, varying from Perch and a vocalist for sound-system gigs, to the full lineup for larger events. From 2006 Molara concentrated on her solo projects and Zion Train live features a variety of renowned vocalists including Dubdadda and Earl 16 alongside Marlene Johnoson, and YT.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ZT_ZT.jpg" alt="Zion Train" width="595" height="333" /></p>
<p>Zion Train have been one of the planet&#8217;s most prolific groups, along with a mammoth recorded output and innumerable production credits, remixes and song writing collaborations they have produced magazines, CD-ROMs, Internet sites and built sound systems. Their early releases were on their own Universal Egg label, until in 1995 they signed to China Records. They released the world&#8217;s first promotional dub music video for the &#8216;Get Ready&#8217; single and caused a furore with the publicity campaign for their ‘Homegrown Fantasy’ album.</p>
<p>Back on their own Universal Egg label since 1999, they have continued to release quality dub, electronica and world dance music. Their work from the past decade and a half still sounds fresh to today&#8217;s discerning ears.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ZT_perch.jpg" alt="Zion Train" width="595" height="366" /></p>
<p>2005 saw the reissue of the bands seminal and long unavailable first and second albums; &#8216;A Passage To Indica&#8217; and &#8216;Natural Wonders Of The World In Dub&#8217; remastered and redesigned. 2006 saw the re-release of the third album &#8216;Siren&#8217;, which was thought by many to herald the birth of the dub-dance vibe that swept the globe in the 1990s. A new album entitled &#8216;Live As One&#8217; was released in September 2007 to great critical acclaim and was showcased in a 20 nation world tour. A &#8216;Live As One&#8217; remix album is the next project that the train are embarking upon - watch this space.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="border: 0;" src="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ecut_top.jpg" alt="Ecut" /></p>
<p>This Berlin based composer operates in a broad creative playground. Beyond Defined Species - the free exposure in experimenting with sound and structure is nearly similar to the path he goes.</p>
<p>Like life is - it was simply a game console when Ecut started producing over ten years ago. Beside of percussion and turntable sets an autarkic working sound was grown. The using of analog and digital sources as well as deeper assimilated vibes are shading colours between black and white.</p>
<p><img style="border: 0;" src="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ecut_mid.jpg" border="0" alt="Ecut" /><br />
Just as diverse is the collaboration base he has attracted from all around the world - with names like Film Academy Vienna, Smovement Berlin, Apjiw (Can), Die Linde Berlin, Antonio de Bragga (Can), N-tje (Ger), Imago Meccano (It) and other in his portfolio.</p>
<p>If there is a background then its drawn from life - his music describes stories of different views and tight suggestions - even more a mirror of the phantasmagorium.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/sharps_sae008.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-120" title="sharps_sae008" src="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/sharps_sae008.jpg" alt="Sharps" width="595" height="422" /></a></p>
<p>Sharps began making music as a child by experimenting with cheap keyboards, casette tape and broken machines. Today his music has evolved into a hitech bass music for size large sound systems. His productions are driven by the need for massive tracks that rock dance floors and push the boundaries of genre and style.</p>
<p>Having cut his teeth early on listening to the adventurous music of Aphex Twin and Autechre, Sharps learned the value of doing things differently, yet recognizes the excitement and energy that comes when people gather together to wash their souls in bass. Sharps draws his influences from many facets, but counts the glitch sound, dubstep, miami bass, breakbeat and random dance music among his top sources of inspiration.</p>
<p>Although he is at the beginning of his journey through dance music, his productions have already caught the attention from top artists and DJs from both sides of the pond including Si Begg, Mat the Alien and Bassnectar. Other accolades include a national Canadian award for composition in 2002, and top reviews for his tracks on www.nuskoolbreaks.co.uk.</p>
<p>Sharps comes from Western Canada, a land of legendary sound systems and forest parties, and has been involved with the undergound music culture in the area since 1995. Co-owner and manager of Saedos Records, Sharps continues to develop the label, bringing outstanding tracks to the world.</p>

<p>CSY is a London based dance music producer, combining Electro, Techno and House music in an infectious manor.Being housed by hip hop as a youngster, CSY became actively involved in the UK hip hop scene and enjoyed many an Ill Commotion DJing to the Hip Hop hungry crowds. Djing was an important step in shaping the sound CSY now produces, learning what made the dance floor move whilst trying to avoid the obvious club tunes helped train his ear to the sounds he liked which ultimately moved him away from hip hop and into dance music. So even though CSY now has a serious case of the “Techno Bug”, you hear his Hip Hop influences which differentiate his sound from the rest.<BR><BR><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/defdblack.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-107" title="defdblack" src="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/defdblack.jpg" alt="Defdfires" /></a></p>
<p>DefDFires are a hip-hop collective based in north London. Formed in 99, as a group of classmates fuelled by a common distaste for the mainstream hip-hop scene, DDF pushed their skills as lyrists to break away from the schoolyard rapping they grew up with. Focusing more on poetic styles, laced with dark humour and obscure references, than the average women, money and violence rap that flooded the airwaves around them. Soon after DefDFires went on to join the infamous Underground Alliance and for the following years honed their abilities in live performances as well as in the studio.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/defdfiretea.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-108" title="defdfiretea" src="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/defdfiretea.jpg" alt="DefDfires have tea" /></a></p>
<p>After working on various recordings and projects with UA the boys decided to embark on recording their own album, collaborating with producers Aupheus and Salamander. The end result was ‘A Prelude’, a gritty, atmospheric vision of society; described as a “pin-sharp debut album… Stepping from a refreshingly different angle” (FLUX May 07). A Prelude was released on Camden-based label Filthy Habits in 2007 and has continued to receive acclaim in the media as well as support from listeners worldwide, in the mean time DDF have put their years of experience playing house parties and dingy pub functions to good use, turning heads up and down the country with their quirky live set and solid crowd control.</p>
<p>The future looks bright for London’s alterative hip-hop ensemble. With another album on the way as well as various collaborations and projects with some of Europe’s finest emcees and producers on the cards, DDF look set to continue providing us with their cinematic beats and Orwellian commentary for years to come, bringing some welcome imagination and refreshing angles to an otherwise over-crowded genre.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Barney Spigel – aka Spigelsound / Dubwise / Dr. Spigelfunk – has been producing music and DJing for over ten years. Barney got interested in the concept of music production after first hearing The Prodigy&#8217;s The Experience LP and a compilation called 100% Drum &amp; Bass at the age of 13. He started putting ideas together using a cheap Roland GM sound module with Cubase on his PC. He later progressed onto the Macintosh platform using Logic, a hardware sampler and a rack of outboard gear and began compose breakbeat driven music influenced by the likes of The Prodigy, Underworld, DJ Shadow, Roni Size, Goldie and Massive Attack.</p>
<p>At his home studio, Barney has written and produced many tracks in a variety of different styles – including progressive and dubwise drum&#8217;n'bass, neo-soul, alternative hip-hop, future funk, dub and film soundtracks – some of which have been licensed for use in a range of TV programmes and one in particular was signed to drum&#8217;n'bass legend Marcus Intalex&#8217;s Soul:R label, arguably the best in the liquid d&#8217;n'b scene. This track – Smash VIP by Amaning &amp; Dubwise – has been played out in clubs all over the planet by some of the world&#8217;s top DJs and also featured in the highly acclaimed FabricLive mix CD series on issue 35.</p>
<p>Barney is always working on new material, so expect to see more of his tracks released in the not too distant future. As well as being a music producer, Barney DJs in bars and clubs across London; he runs his own weekly session in Camden called Stir It Up! showcasing new and unsigned talent; he works as a sound &amp; light technician at Soho Theatre and also works in post-production, editing and authoring DVDs.</p>

<p>Martello is a 26 year old Estonian writer and music producer with 8 years experience. He is an electrical engineer by trade, music producing and music itself is his hobby and love.</p>
<p>He began by messing with tracker type programs like ModPlug tracker and similar. 2 years ago he discovered sequencer type programs and currently uses Cubase 4. His music is 100 % software and samples. He loves playing with soft-synths&#8217; different features and feels like crazy scientist in another era!</p>
<p>He sums up his style with 3 simple words - electronic dance music. He most loves deep house, dubstep, old school jungle and also modern dance/club music sounds. All these styles influence his music.  When he was 6 years old he found his father&#8217;s old broken tape-recorder, got it fixed, and found some old tapes by Whitney Houston. This was Martello gone - the music captured him.</p>
<p>Martello says signing with Mai Plues is his first official milestone. His music has also been broadcast several times on Estonian radio station Radio 2.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/flunairemidlle.jpg"><br />
</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/realrealtop.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-96" title="realrealtop" src="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/realrealtop.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>After the successful release of &#8220;The Mondestrunken E.P.&#8221; through Stiff Records back in February, F.Lunaire has been a busy boy, relentlessly playing at packed out shows and firmly making an imprint on the London scene, he has at the same time, been writing and working on his first album, &#8220;Chopin Waltz&#8221;.</p>
<p>Produced by Aaron Horn (son of Trevor Horn), the album is currently being recorded at Sarm studios, where he and F.Lunaire are moonlighting in the wee hours, whenever studios are empty. Themed on Pierot Lunaire (a character in an opera drawn from a series of French poems), the album builds on the darkly creative spirit and ballad-esque work of the recently released E.P.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/flunairemidlle.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-97" title="flunairemidlle" src="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/flunairemidlle.jpg" alt="f.lunaire, live , london, wow wow , tate, " /></a></p>
<p>F.Lunaire settled in London where he was first weaned into the limelight whilst playing keys with Kid Harpoon. This elusive character is swiftly gaining recognition for his own music. Having played his first public gig with WowoW at The Tate Britain, working with DA gallery, Pat &amp; Trevor, and possessing the ability to seek out a squat party like a squalid-art seeking missile, he has no risk of losing his arty edge. His music however, inspires the feet to move and heart to race of a much broader crowd.</p>

<p>Norway/London based Discorockers are a modern three piece that fuses electro, dub, dance and punk rock in an innovative and incredibly exciting way.</p>
<p>Since playing Glastonbury festival 2004 it’s been a rollercoaster ride where they have rocked the London club, gig and party circuit for the past year and have headlined Cargo twice.The band members each bring with them their own unique talents from different musical backgrounds:</p>
<p>Viktoria Winge’s inspiring vocal performance is both angelic and at the same time edgy, and she has often been referred to as ‘a blonde björk’. A true bombshell indeed, she is from a famous Theatrical family and has studied at the Khio Kunsthøgskolen theatre school in Oslo. Victoria is one of those one in a million performers you just can&#8217;t look away from! (Hence her many international modeling assignments)</p>
<p>The bands Producer, Anton Jawdokimov, on keyboard and beat mixing duties, uses the latest gadgets and gizmos to get his sound and gets his musical background and experience from the UK rave scene, having worked with the likes of Ninjatune and The Future Sound of London to name a few. </p>
<p>These ingredients create a magic and thrilling combination of sounds and visual energy that has to be seen and enjoyed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A. Theory’s &#8221; Sequence+Time &#8221; is an instrumental album produced and sequenced by Alex Praeger &amp; Aaron Horn with additional performances by other musicians including ‘F.Lunaire’. It was recorded, sequenced &amp; mixed at Sarm Studios.</p>
<p>Aaron and Alex met at art school aged 17. Sharing an interest in eclectic electronica, they began collaborating, writing &amp; producing together. Pianist &amp; songrwriter F.Lunaire joined the mix, and the three of them would compose on piano &amp; software through a process of playing, sampling, editing &amp; multitracking. String Theory was born.</p>
<p>Aaron &amp; Alex have spent the past two years moonlighting, composing and recording music in studios 1, 2 &amp; 3 at Sarm, sampling their own original recordings to create a unique composition. Influences span from The Beatles, Kate Bush, 60&#8217;s Psychedelia, DJ Shadow, Prefuse 73, Bonobo, DJ food and Portishead, to sounds and textures from movie &amp; computer game soundtracks, all of which have inspired String Theory&#8217;s tone and narrative structure, resulting in a distinctive sound. A.Theory Have licensed music to Channel Four and pending licencing for an extreme sports DVD.</p>

<p>Heavily influenced by the London pirate radio scene circa 1995 and his early experience as a sound engineer for jazz concerts and musicals at schools, Eon began dabbling with Drumnbass, Breakbeat and Hiphop, producing on a 486 PC, using Cakewalk , his fathers Akai S2000 sampler and Yamaha TX81Z as the primary sound sources.</p>
<p>As the years passed his skills and equipment grew, and he began DJing at house parties, squat parties &amp; club nights. An ecnouraging moment came in 2004 when he played a set exclusively of music he had written. The overwhelming response gave him the gumption to continue writing and producing in search of the elusive record deal.</p>

<p>Now with ten years experience in the music industry, highlights include plays on XFM, syncs on documentary films and VJ films he was commissioned to create. Eon has a prolific back catalogue of friendly drumnbass &amp; breakbeat</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/psonik_top.jpg" alt="psonik_top.jpg" /></p>
<p>Psonikadia has been producing electronica for a number of years. Not one to be pigeonholed, Psonikadia mixes differing styles from pure beat-less enveloping soundscapes to breakbeat, dubstep and everything in between.<br />
Having released on various underground netlabels worldwide, Psonikadia has created quite a buzz, even being tipped for greatness by Radio One’s Rob Da Bank.</p>
<p>After last summers’ signing to Vancouver based label <a href="http://www.xynthetic.com/xdr004.php/" target="_blank">Xynthetic Music</a>, Psonikadia released ‘Minds Without Borders’, a collection of sonic environments from cascading atmospheres and deep ambient backroom breaks, currently Xynthetic&#8217;s top selling release.</p>
<p>Inspiration for the pieces comes from the peaceful coastal life in Brighton – the sea, the rolling green hills, the realization of living on an island and the sites and sound of the most special place.</p>
<p>Below is a selection of tracks. More are available on request.</p>

<p>You might have heard them on Radio One, XFM, BBC6, Resonance or The Selector, or perhaps found them in The Sunday Times, DiS, Rough Trade, and even the Daily Mirror! They released their first single with Fierce Panda’s baby label Fandango, and soon are releasing their second single, Revolve, on April 7th, with Alcopop! Records.</p>
<p>They have a headline tour later in March, are Rocking Against Racism in late-April and. In December 2007 recorded their first album at the legendary Hook End manor, since closed.</p>
<p>They did two headline tours, and Huw Stephens brought them to BBC Maida Vale to do their first radio session. Nima had a cold. They toured with Ed Harcourt &amp; Fields, and played shows with Vetiver, Akron Family, Clearlake, Sunshine Underground, James Yorkston, and many other fine people.</p>
<p>This unique band have a signiature sound; it flows, undulates, builds up, cools down, and transports you to a world without a name. Hush the many, heed the few.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The biggest and baddest dubstepz around]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.maiplues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/high-r-top-slice.jpg" alt="High Rankin" /></p>
<p>High Rankin has always been a man to set a scene with his music. Fond of cinematic intros, often recording himself for dramatic effect, not afraid to work against the grain.</p>
<p>His tracks are full of character; he aims to make records that stand out from the current crop of formulaic beat and bass rendering.</p>
<p>Based in Brighton, High Rankin started &#8216;Molten Vinyl Recordings&#8217; in 2004 as a platform to release locally produced Drum’n’Bass. In 2006 he started &#8216;Suicide Watch&#8217; to push a much harder Drum’n’Bass sound. 2008 saw the birth of &#8216;Suicide Dub&#8217; as a sister label to Suicide Watch - a digital label for the biggest and baddest dubstepz around.</p>
<p>All labels are going strong and released tracks by artists from around the world.<br />
Publishing for all labels is handled by Mai Plues.</p>

<p>DJ, Producer &amp; Writer of 10 years, Hungry Man embraces the open &amp; minimal sound of Sub Bass heavy dubstep. His productions show versatility &amp; creativity, ambient mood setting textures washing over the rhythms. Listen to the hooks mutating, the variety of sounds, the anti-formulaic production style. One to watch.</p>
