Pushing forward we are happy to be welcoming a guest from the west, Vancouvers, Taal Mala from Lighta! For this special FULL MOON edition of Spectrum, expect a wide array of futuristic bass music to take us late into the night on the legendary 40hz Soundsystem. Bringing the fire........ TAAL MALA - Vancouver - Lighta! / Modern Math / Bass Coast http://taalmala.org/ https://soundcloud.com/taal-mala https://www.mixcloud.com/taalmala/ Killing sound since '97, and often described as un-categorizable, Taal Mala’s music is inspired by the ever bouncing big booty, new prototypes and classic standards, and takes influence from past, present, and future dub-wise rhythm. Dubstep, Grime, Jungle, Techno, Acid, Hardcore, Reggae, and Dancehall are all partially responsible for the fusion that is created. As a member of the Lighta! Soundsystem, Taal Mala has remained one of the few DJ's still dedicated to burying an excess of tin pan soundboys with dubplates played on the vastly superior format of vinyl records. LO PROCESS (Sergio Levels + CherrieP) - Philthtrax https://soundcloud.com/sergiolevels https://soundcloud.com/philthkids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVSQK64k_aI Sergio Levels continues to push his sound and production ability into new territory, collaborating with a growing league of producers representing the international landscape. His DJ sets quite often range in flavour but mostly waver in the house and techno realm with a lean towards tracked-out, low end sounds. His solo productions are heavily inspired by dub techno legends and loop based producers, and range from dance floor centric tracks to deep ambient textures. His reputation as a selector and live performer have allowed him to perform alongside some of the culture’s most influential characters, as well as won him prime time bookings at festivals such as Bass Coast and Shambhala. CherrieP is one third of Philthkids who have worked with many names across the globe including Chrissy Murderbot, Bombaman, Big Dope P and Detroit Legend Dj Assault. In respect to their own productions, you can expect to hear a wide gamut of sounds influenced by genres including Jungle, Detroit Techno, Acid House and the infamously rugged production techniques of Chicago Footwork music. In 2013, the crew expands their reign of ghetto-space with the launch of their own label ‘Philthtrax’, intended as a vehicle for pushing all new original Jungle-Juke hybrid tracks. As Lo Process these two will be finding a common ground between deep dubby techno and juke / footwork to deliver a set that is sure the get the place jumpin. FRITZ THE CAT – Spectrum https://soundcloud.com/fritz-the-cat-1 Spectrum founder and resident, Fritz the Cat, aka Jesse Fritz, has played clubs, warehouses, and festivals all across Canada. His refined and constantly evolving music collection has him playing sets that move the body and challenge the mind. Lately his tastes have moved in the direction of heavy bass lines with tribal polyrythmic percussion. Fritz plays music that blurs the lines between genres. MARK PM https://soundcloud.com/off-set-1 Mark PM has been killing it on the open decks each and everytime he's played. He's had the dancefloor going off to some of the freshest grime, garage, and futuristic bass music I've heard. We set up the open decks for the sole purpose of discovering DJs like Mark PM, so we are very excited to welcome him on to the mainflooor to flex the bins of the 40hz Soundsystem. Visuals by Coi Streamed on https://dubplate.fm/ Sound by http://40hzsoundsystem.ca/ Open decks downstairs! Bring your own needles/headphones/serato $10 before 11:00 pm. $15 after. 19+

This Halloween Spectrum will be celebrating their 1 year anniversary by bringing back DJ MADD, who played our favourite set of the year! Dark and Twisted audio environment provided by: DJ MADD - New York - (Cosmic Bridge - Roots & Future) Hungarian-born Peter Simon has been writing music since his early teens, scoring his first vinyl release in 2008. Highly acclaimed for his WAR series of white label releases, he quickly made the connection between underground bass music and the Jamaican reggae sound. His music has been supported by UK tastemakers such as Toddla T, Mary Anne Hobbs and David Rodigan. Making the move from Budapest to Bristol, he quickly set foot scoring a guest mix on Skream’s Rinse FM show, and multiple spots on high profile compilations such as ‘This is Dubstep’ or the Minisitry Of Sound’s 'The Sound of Dubstep’. Setting up his own imprint 'Roots & Future’, he continues building up a diverse following who love the old school dubwise sounds with bone-shaking bass and the low end of the sonic spectrum. After spending time in Tokyo, now basing himself in North-America, his main focus is to bring this fusion of reggae music with modern sounds to the next level. With his recent EP titled 'Rum Punch’ on Om Unit’s Cosmic Bridge Records he has set the tone for future productions: heavy 808’s across genres.
