Deep Space :: Our Mission
Our goal is to bring you a weekly party to share our love for a
vast, under-appreciated musical direction, which has started to
emerge on dance music’s cultural horizon.
Dub has been present in popular music since its early 70’s
Jamaican reggae roots, also filtering into dance music in later
decades, but never widely acknowledged for what it is: a truly
groundbreaking conceptual art form equal in significance to other
giant aesthetic leaps such as Cubism or jazz. It abstracts the
essence of music and allows its creator to redefine and reshape
boundaries for what might otherwise be a predictable form of
expression.
We wish, through our weekly
‘Deep Space’ parties, to create a special welcoming atmosphere for those who
appreciate music and dub. We will aim to show the countless links
to dub's rich tradition by acknowledging its original creators, as
well as celebrating it today by presenting more
contemporary music of all types that share those spaced-out vibes.
In keeping with the
open-minded musical spirit that dub has fostered, we would like to think that this party will
be the kind of event where sounds of all origins will be played,
not limited to one particular format but always sharing this common link of dub, whether improvised
live at the mixing console or played from original recordings. We
may also invite artists to join in and contribute to it in a live
and spontaneous form.
Our aim is to provide everyone with a comfortable and convivial
setting in which to enjoy music together, with a respect for your
senses that we feel is mostly missing in today’s parties.
Rather than using deafening sound levels, blinding lights and smoke
machines, our desire is to achieve our goals in a tasteful manner,
so as to create an atmosphere that can enable both devoted dancers
and laid-back listeners to equally enjoy the sounds that we have
come to love, as well as helping them discover new and inspiring
ones.
The journey has indeed just started! |
