Instance 02: Party Preview
New party
Parameter kicks off its stacked fall schedule by bringing together two artists from different scenes who share an awful lot in common:
Pinch, the Bristolian dubstep (and beyond) pioneer, and
Lee Bannon, a young producer from Sacramento who is blurring the line between hip-hop and drum'n'bass. Pinch was an early mover and shaker (literally — the bass frequencies on his productions can cause tremors in the earth) in the U.K. dubstep movement, standing out among the crowd with his razor-sharp production skills and flawless vinyl DJ sets. These days, he's outgrown the British dubstep sound somewhat, but his productions and DJ sets are no less moody and no less bass-heavy. Lee Bannon, meanwhile, plucks bits and pieces from all over the bass music spectrum and melds them with evocative experimental atmospherics. In addition, a whole swath of local DJs (full disclosure: your humble party columnist is
one of them) will be on support duty.
