JOKER – Live in Downtown LA Saturday November 28th

11.25.2009

Joker 1128Liam Mclean, aka JOKER, is Bristol’s boy-wonder of dubstep currently on “one of those 18-month runs of one-classic-single-after-another” for Hyperdub and Kapsize among others. At only 20 years old Joker started making beats because he “wanted to make the thing that was missing, that I wanted to hear” as he says in an interview from FACT Magazine. He has also been an in-demand remixer, taking on The Heavy “How You Like Me Now?”, Zero 7 “Everything Up”, Simian Mobile Disco “Cruel intentions” and Basement Jaxx “Raindrops.”

He’ll be making a rare live appearance in LA this Saturday dropping ill beats alongside hometown hero Nosaj Thing… Check out his set from Sonar this year as part of the Mary Anne Hobbs showcase to know what destruction to expect.

His tracks “Digidesign” and “Stash” appear on the current Five Years of Hyperdub compilation, alongside new tracks from Burial, Zomby (also on RAMP), and label head-honcho Kode9. Hit us up for your copy!
