Billy Corgan and the latest incarnation of the Smashing Pumpkins are returning to Perth. The alternative rockers will play on October 12 at the Riverside Theatre at the Perth Convention Centre. After releasing the album Zeitgiest in 2006 and touring Australia with the V Festival in 2008, Corgan has recently recruited bassist Nicole Fiorentino of Veruca Salt and the Spinnerettes to perform alongside drummer Mike Byrne and guitarist Jeff Shroeder. The band has recently released a 44-song series Teargarden by the Kaleidyoscope, with free tracks for this available online.

ShockOne feat. Reija Lee ‘Polygon (Dirtyphonics Remix)’
When the debut Radio1 play for a track is on Pendulum’s Essential Mix and when its first outing at Fabric is from the executioner Andy C (getting an instant rewind!) you know its already destined for anthem status. Winners of the ‘Best Newcomer Producer’ at the 2009 Drum and Bass Arena awards, the five strong production and live act Dirtyphonics have in the past year created some of the most boundary pushing, genre hopping records in dance music. With a string of tracks already out on Shimon’s AudioPorn label, this remix of ‘Polygon’ for Viper is set to be their biggest track to date. Moulding ShockOne’s original into an electro stomper, which then morphs into one of the biggest DnB drops of the year so far, this track has sent clubs into a frenzy in the past few weeks and will delight those who like their bpm’s and minds twisted to the max.

ShockOne feat. MC Spyda ‘Chronic VIP’
A great MC once said ‘the original was a killer, but this one is iller, certified, bona fide, dance floor filler’ and never has this been more apt when considering ShockOne’s 2010 version of ‘Chronic’. Ragga tinged dancehall drums alongside huge cavernous low-end has made this track an instant favourite of the more grimy dancefloors and of those who like their Drum and Bass with a different step to the norm. The track features the unmistakable vocals of MC Spyda who as well as being one of the most in demand MC’s in the scene, has also been responsible for vocaling some of the biggest tracks in Drum and Bass, including teaming up with Pendulum and DJ Fresh for ‘Tarantula’ and Matrix & Futurebound for ‘Knite Riderz’.

ShockOne ‘Polygon (ShockOne VIP)’
Once again featured in Pendulum’s recent Essential Mix for Radio1, the forums have been ablaze with excitement about the forthcoming release of the ShockOne VIP of ‘Polygon’. For the last few months the dubplate has been rinsed all over the world with the speculation being that this would never see the light of day. However with a track this infectious, it would have been sacrilege not to give it a release. Taking the originals instantly recognisable clipped female vocal and adding a huge, set starting atmospheric half time intro, the track builds on the awesome hooks of the original, adding extra intensity to the drop, and then switching up and adding an acidic twist to the b-line to make this another essential re-fix of an already classic track.

ShockOne feat. Metrik & Phetsta ‘True Believer (Phetsta Dubstep rework)'
Taking the piano driven old school rave bomb of ‘True Believer’ and turning into something even more insane and grimey was never going to be an easy task, but in his dupstep remix, Phetsta has delivered in spades. Turning the paranoia up to 11, the original vocal is retuned over metallic bass and skipping jittering drums. This is as futuristic and dark as it comes. With Viper Recordings first dubstep track (ShockOne’s ‘Adachigahara's Theme’) staying at No.1 on the beatport dupstep charts for over a month (and still currently in the Top 100 over 73 weeks after its release), to say this is highly anticipated is an understatement. Equally at home over a range of bpm, fellow Perth resident Phetsta has seen releases on Aquasky’s Passenger recordings and a string of releases on Simon Bassline Smith’s Technique recordings find their way into the boxes of Annie Mac, Pendulum, Andy C and Grooverider to name just four!

BABYLON SYSTEM
Babylon System, the California based dubstep outfit, consists of the killer combo of veteran dj/producers: ROOMMATE and NO THING. Since 2006 the two have been setting the world on fire with their aggressive, gangster and reggae infused dancefloor sound. Their releases are all anxiously awaited and their dubs are spun by every big dj in the scene. Tunes like “Examination of Time”, “Loaded”, “Get on up”, and “Hyphy” were instant anthems, selling out from all world wide record shops, with heavy support from giants like; N-type, Plastician, Bassnectar, Noah D, Emalkay, and Skream. Live, they get the party rowdy with quick mixes, diverse track selection, top shelf dubs, and their contagious positive energy. Not only are their legendary sets leaving a huge impression on every major North American city but they’ve turned heads all over Europe, and an Australia/New Zealand tour is their next target. Expect more anthem releases and smashed up dance floors. Watch out, their thick, gangster sound will knock you out!!!

SEVEN
Based in London, UK. Hailed by the likes of N-Type, Skream and Youngsta and even stretching across genres from the number one Drum and Bass DJ Andy C, as one of the scene's best DJ’s, Seven is an artist in high demand both for his DJ skills and production.
