2010 is gonna be the year of Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records & The Bloody Beetroots! They both have been working very hard lately. But they did also do that the past couple of years. So why is this year going to be their year?
Steve Aoki, now on his I'm in the house World Tour: through Europe & USA. Making an album in the meantime. He hopes to finish it this year in between his many performances. He said this in an interview with our UK-journalist-friend Robyn Burrows. Steve also told her he has got another record coming out in April, that of his and Sir Bob Rifo's band: Rifoki!
As he started bigger and bigger collaborations end of last year. With Drake, on Forever, featuring Kanye west, Lil Wayne and Eminem. And beginning of this year with Zuper Blahq - I'm in the house. Under this new alter ego Will-I-Am is even DJing under the Dim Mak label! This collaboration will really give him some media attention over the coming months. And as could be seen in the I'm in the house video, he will take The Bloody Beetroots, MSTRKRFT and all them with him in his success. This year Steve is collaborating with Kid cudi, Lil Jon, Afrojack, Laidback luke (who is also on DimMak records for a while now). So watch out for new tracks from these guys on our blog. But for Dim Mak records there are more collaborations with the Dutch, Don Diablo made a remix of Salvation from the Scanners (which was on our blog a little while ago).
The Bloody Beetoots, started their Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77 Boredom Tour. And their album Domino, comes out March 23th. Of course we all know their new website deathcrew77.com, which only heralds a new, greater era for the Bloody Beetroots. They're already in the line-up for Rock Werchter, July 1st till 4th. And it will be of no surprise if they will be on Pukkelpop, August 19th, 20th and 21st, for the 3rd year in a row. (BTW: vote for your favorite artist to come on Pukkelpop here! we did.) And except for being announced to to broader public in the I'm in the house video they also did a performance at end of last years MTV day in Italy. Also more and more journalist write something about these mysterious guys.
So this year is gonna be big for these gents! That means for us, its gonna a year filled with massive tracks and crazy parties!
But watch out what you wish for. When their success really hits the clubs, charts and music stations there is always the change that the music we all most love for its originality, rawness and brilliance will get mainstream and get hyped up and taken down by the masses. As what happened to the hip-hop industry in the past decade. It is also very obvious that all the hip-hop artist are producing more and more of a electro sound these days. But I think with these guys (Steve and the BBR), we are in a little to raw for the masses, so we'll be safe ! Lets end with a beautiful vision of a middle-aged-british-radio-dj before we go to the credits:
Like Annie Nightingale from BBC Radio 1 said: "You'll definitely hear more of these guys in 2010"
