"Mala - Jah Power Dub" by obamasinladen

[thegroovethief]

Snuck a few questions over to Joe Nice - the famed American dubstep ambassador is over in my former stomping grounds of Hong Kong this weekend! Many thanks to my man Budball over at Ecstatic Bass Macau - 樂極生Bass, 澳門 for making this one happen:

TGT: Great to chat with you again Joe! You’ve played on a ton of soundsystems all across the globe, which one’s been your favorite and why? Joe Nice: Happy to chat again! Thanks! I have been asked this question so many times and for years the answers were always the same: a tie between the Gary Stewart Audio system at Club Love in New York City during the DubWar parties and the Turbosound System at Mass in Brixton during the DMZ days. Nowadays, there are so many wonderful systems around the world. Difficult to say just one is the best, but there are several that I would love to mention, including: A. Tsunami Bass in New York (out to Andrew and Zoe) B. Boris Soundsystem in Ljubljana, Slovenia C. Modulith in Vienna, Austria D. The Black Box in Denver, Colorado E. Zenicafaria System in Sarajevo, Bosnia F. Inner Standing Soundsystem in Oakland, California G. Grand Ancestor Sound System in Washington, DC H. Mungo’s Hi Fi (always) I. 40 HZ sound in Toronto, Canada J. The system at the Cross Club in Prague, Czech Republic.... and K. Anytime PK Sound is available. Canada’s best! TGT: What’s the current soundsystem scene like in Baltimore, and how has it changed over the years? Joe Nice: No idea about Baltimore at all. I moved from there several months ago and I have not played there since. I now live in North Carolina. I played a show in Wilmington for Liquid Culture a few months ago and the system in the venue (Outer Edge Audio) was on fire! TGT: You’re a big lover of travel – what do you enjoy most about playing in Asia? Joe Nice: I love the people. Every country that I have played in Asia has been so warm and receptive to the sound and me. Plus, visiting a new country and experiencing a new culture always intrigues me. TGT: 2017 has been a busy year for Gourmetbeats, and GB016 certainly features some nice varied sounds. Where to next for the label?

Joe Nice: Well, Gourmetbeats 014 by Gaze Ill was just released. With that release, I wanted to have a record that feels like old-school dubstep but sounds 2017 (I hope that makes sense.) Gourmetbeats 015 features AxH with a remix by Abstrakt Sonance. They are two of North America’s best and brightest young talents. Made perfect sense to have them on the release.... and as usual, both tunes give the soundsystem a serious workout. Gourmetbeats 016 is the VIP EP featuring EshOne, Inyoka, Oxossi, and Sepia. Each of the tunes on Gourmetbeats 016 is a VIP of a previously released Gourmetbeats tune. This might be the first time anyone has released an EP of only VIPs and believe me, I am thankful to the producers for sharing their music with me and the masses. Gourmetbeats 017 is by a new producer from Canada named Boneless. Two track EP featuring “Escape” and “Wizzro.” I have been playing both tunes for months now and each tune gets an overwhelmingly positive response. Gourmetbeats 018 is a three-track EP with Prism and Saule. The a-side is a collaboration called “Grow Stronger.” The b-side has two tunes: Prism - “The Path” and Saule - “Backwards.” I also have plans for a future release with Malleus and Fill Spectre, and a future release with my main man, Korostyle! I also have some other possible ideas that I cannot speak on now. You will need to watch and see what happens next. Last, GourmetBeats White Label 002 features two tunes from Subtle Mind, “Te Vas” and “Moving In Blue”. So excited to get that release on the streets and in people’s record collections!
