PLUG FETISH: Sept. 30th 2006: Chicago

Kid Kameleon
[Mashit, Shockout, Press Up, XLR8R]

Kameleon is a beat strategist who blends, chops, restructures and generally smashes rhythms from across the sonic spectrum. From breakcore and ragga-jungle to dubstep and grime, with stops along the way at dub, dancehall, hip-hop, DnB, electro and the straight up unclassifiable, he's a champion of underground sounds and outsider music. The Kid has dropped his fast-paced, eclectic style at parties from California to Estonia, sharing stages with the likes of Kool Herc, U-Roy, DJ Spooky, Asian Dub Foundation, Alec Empire, Squarepusher, The Bug, Vex'd and Plasticman, and many more, and a super scientifical Ableton Live set that's nothing short of a sonic mindwarp is in preparation for the Summer '06 tour. An avid blogger (kidkameleon.com and riddimmethod.net), he also writes a monthly column called Basic Needs for XLR8R magazine as well as doing interviews for them and Grooves. His mixes have garnered praise in publications like pitchforkmedia.com and URB and he's currently working on a mix for the Ragga Jungle label Press Up Records that will see release in the late Spring. Kid K - Always up to date, never out of style!



Wayne&Wax

(a/k/a Wayne Marshall) is a scholar/producer writing an intertwined history of reggae and hip-hop. When he's not writing about the relationship between Jamaican and American music, he's usually mixing and mashing all sorts of sounds, letting sonic connections draw socio-cultural networks. His 2004 album, Boston Jerk, is a musical expression of his dissertation research, recorded while Wayne was living in Kingston from January to July of 2003. Wayne has taught courses on music and society at Harvard Extension School, Brown University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and he's currently finishing up a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology while writing for mags and newspapers, keeping a blog (and writing for the group blog, Riddim Method), and laptop-DJing all over the place.

Curtis Chip

Curtis Chip is a co-founder and mainstay at Zod, and Because Curtis Chip has been playing drums since he was very young, this zod artist has a very musical way of thinking about rhythm. The dense poly-rythms and syncopation (coupled with a gift for sound design) that he incorporates into his songs are what separates him from other artists in electronic music. Curtis Chip's involvement in experimental music started when he began playing bass in the death-metal band Exhaust Cube when he was 14. From there he quickly got interested in electronic music and the undergound dance party scene, and with his brother Adam, purchased some gear and started making the music that they loved to hear. He has been involved in many projects and has dj-ed under the psudonym Df1. His finely crafted and highly original tracks range from frantic drum and bass with sweeping melodies and urgent synth lines, to dark, distorted sound-scapes, sculpted from pure sound, all with the signature syncopation he is known for. For his percussion sounds, he often samples his own drumming, and later chops it up and re-edits it into a densely woven web of rhythm. For his live show, he is working on incorporating live instrumentation into his electronics, and has been known to jam with zod artist EmotionalJoystick.
