12/11/09 – LIQUID ASSETS 3 – Halifax, Nova Scotia

BigCityNights Production House is proud to present the third installment of "Liquid Assets", Halifax's first Liquid Drum and Bass monthly. 15839_192646466798_502521798_3064389_7775933_n In December BCN showcases two of Halifax's DNB Masters: Mark Harmsworth and Chris Morrison A Brief History of Liquid DNB: In 2000, Fabio began championing a new form of drum and bass he called "Liquid funk", with a compilation release of the same name on his Creative Source label. This was characterized by influences from disco and house music, and widespread use of vocals. Although slow to catch on at first, the style grew massively in popularity around 2003-2004, and by 2005 it was established as one of the biggest-selling subgenres in drum and bass, with labels like Good Looking Records, Hospital Records, Liquid V, Shogun Limited, Fokuz Recordings, State of the Art Recordings and artists like Calibre, High Contrast, Logistics, London Elektricity, Nu:Tone and Solid State among its main proponents.] Liquid funk is very similar to intelligent drum and bass, but has subtle differences. Liquid funk has stronger influences from soca, latin, disco, jazz, and funk music, while IDB creates a calmer yet more synthetic sound, using smooth synth lines and samples in place of the organic elements achieved by use of real instruments. On the 1st October 2007 High Contrast brought Liquid Funk back to the mainstream with his album, Tough Guys Don't Dance, releasing tracks such as If We Ever (Featuring Diane Charlemagne) which made BBC Radio 1's Dance singles chart, Kiss Kiss bang Bang and Tread Softly. This ended up "crossing over" and becoming one of the most listened to Drum and Bass album's of 2007. The success of Liquid Funk never left the mainstream, and was followed by Mistabishi's No Matter What being played on daytime radio, Chase and Status's More Than Alot album charting and the Brookes Brother's single Tear You Down hitting Dance charts. 10pm - 2am $6 Cover 19+ 1/2 Price Apps & $2.50 Well Shots from 10pm-12am $12.99 for a pitcher of beer and an app. $5 Martinis - ALL NIGHT www.bigcitynights.ca
