HEADHUNTER (ADDISON GROOVE) OCTOBER 21ST @ SAN FRANCISCO BATHHOUSE

2010-09-18T23:30:00.000-07:00

HEADHUNTER (ADDISON GROOVE) UK on the 21st October at San Francisco Bathhouse looks to be one the most anticipated bass heavy events this year since Ramadanman and Scuba. The sound of Headhunter has progressed through the years of the Dubstep scene in to futuristic uncharted new directions. Whist still keeping the weight on the dancefloor Headhunters sound feels strongly rooted in elements of deep techno, early Drum n bass, Chicago Juke and Dub. His contributions to the biggest and longest running Dubstep label on the planet Tempa have found their way in to the sets of many original top Dubstep DJ's like Skream, Benga, Hatcha, and Youngsta. Some of Headhunters finest releases were the "Initiate EP" and the debut album "Nomad" both out on Tempa records and in recent years his "Addison Groove" project has produced the massive Juke inspired hits "Footcrab" and "Dumbshit"

Headhunter will without a doubt bring the heaviness, good vibes and serious rolling bass weight. Don't miss this quality one off Wellington show

Tickets at all the usual outlets. Go get em!
