The Gaslamp Killer - William Benjamin Bensussen to his friends – has LA as home-base, is addicted to dubstep and is associated with that other genius: Flying Lotus (through his Brainfeeder label). A few months ago he released his first EP: ‘My Troubled Mind’: dubstep with a serious splash of psychedelica, rock, electronica and hip hop. NME described him as a mix of dubstep pioneer Mala (Digital Mystikz) and hip hop DJ Mix Master Mike. So not the stuff for purists. He also happens to have been invited to the famous Sonar festival earlier this year, by dubstep Queen Mary Anne Hobbs.
Opener will be Falty DL or rather Drew Lustman from New York. Earlier this year his album 'Love Is A Liability' was released via the renowned Planet Mu label, on it he mixes hip-hop, dubstep, garage, soul, jungle and electronica… Boomkat wrote of it: "We recommend this to any heads into the Vex'd/Joker/Planet Mu sound". It has been noted.
