BAD OPERATOR
Belfast based DJ/Producer/Promoter David Campbell aka Bad Operator started out DJing in 2005.. He ran the clubnight "Crilli" alongside Plus side (now living in Holland and djing under the alias of TokiNL ) and De-Twist. and during those four years, Crilli became a regular Bangor feature, bringing the likes of Rohan (Bassbin records), Lynx (Soul:R), Space Dimension Controller, Dom and Roland, Break and [Genetix] to the seaside town.
More recently, Campbell has been promoting a number of events at The Menagerie in Belfast, including visits from Get Busy's inaugural guest Fracture (Astrophonica Records), beats maestro Stray and deep n dark dynamos Ruffhouse and Morphy, whilst also regularly guesting at Belfast's Drumology night at Voodoo in Belfast and numerous festivals and events around Ireland.
He has for some time now been pushing the more DnB focussed side of the Get Busy sound, go check his latest output at the linkage for more...

<<< Background to the Get Busy Project >>>
Basswax and Bap To The Future are proud to present the third instalment of Get Busy, a series of gigs representing the cutting edge of uptempo electronic music
Over the past few years something's been bubbling up from the underground. A new generation of producers within the drum n bass scene have taken the torch that was kept alight by a few hardy perennials and twisted the genre into exciting new forms.
While most of these producers self-identify as d'n'b artists, the music they're making is a cross pollination of many different sounds. Taking the dread halfstep lurch of dubstep, the dizzying kinetic rhythms of footwork and combining them with everything from the cadences of hip hop to the sophisticated sound design of techno and IDM, these producers are making some of the most exciting music on the planet right now: artists like Stray, Om Unit, FIS, Clarity, Sam Binga, Kiyoko, Ruffhouse, Skeptikal, Dub Phizix, Chimpo and Amit are absolutely slaying it, and we'll be brining some of them over in the coming months.
A real jumping-off point for this music was the Autonomic sound pioneered by Instra:mental and dBridge (whom Bap to The Future had play for them recently) a few years back, which helped join the dots between the melodic, emotive music they made and an array of other genres. Autonomic definitely had a tendency to be restrained however, and the new producers are injecting this experimentation and innovation with a healthy dose of dancefloor wallop, and with foundational dnb labels like Metalheadz and 31 lending support to these new voices, the scene is in rude health
Too often with genres of music that go through a purple patch, audiences can often come to experience this music in a live environment after the particular rush of creativity has abated somewhat. That's why Bap and Basswax decided to get together and strike while the iron's hot, bringing these visionary producers to Galway while they are riding the crest of a wave for a special limited series of four gigs in four months, in order to fully showcase the breadth and talent that is currently operating within this scene.Tagged:0
