Cable

The Shogun Audio / We Fear Silence connection first kicked off back in August 2010 here at Cable. Their sensational partnership helped change the face of London's drum and bass movement with a slew of roadblock parties, housed deep within the Victorian arches of Bermondsey Street Tunnel. Shogun Audio's tough-edged, cutting-edge take on the genre along with We Fear Silence' forward-facing attitude to throwing raves proved irrepressible. Two and a half years on and with so many fond memories, we're less than a week away from the last ever We Fear Silence presents Shogun Audio party. It's also a Christmas celebration for the two crews so this monumental occasion is sure to go down in Cable's history as one of our gnarliest gatherings to date. Dust off your dancing shoes for one last Shogun at Cable.

A few months ago Dub All or Nothing signing, Canadian native, 1uP, put out a collaboration that would charm our ears. Partnering with the super talented Elonious, they produced ‘Mechanical Dreams’ a 4 track EP concentrating on bigging up the sound of Canada’s Dubstep scene. A few months later, and Droid and Rakta release their very own remix. Arguably a bigger record than the original, it’s no hold bars sky-rocketing bass thud made it a no brainer. And thanks to the guys at Dub All Or Nothing – Cable has got it for you as free download!

Merry Christmas!

The Hemp Trading Company has teamed up with Cable to deliver a run of custom-designed t-shirts which will be available in time for christmas on our web store and theirs as well.

Established in 1999, inspired by the heartbeat of urban culture and environmental activism, THTC has fast become one of the most one of the most sought-after garment producers in the urbanist scene. As the name suggests, all garments in the range are organic and built using either hemp/organic cotton blends or carbon neutral organic cotton.

As well as being a founding member of the Ethical Fashion Forum they were also runners up in the Observer Ethical Awards in 2006 and the Re:Fashion Awards in 2008. Their garments are worn by people such as Placebo, Foreign Beggars, Nathan 'Flutebox' Lee, Trojan Sound System and Zion I to name but a handful.



The Amen Break is regarded in the urbanist scence as one of the most important 5.2 seconds of music ever created, given its influence and heavy usage as a sample in jungle, breaks, DnB, hip-hop and other genres. It inspired several entire subcultures. The man responsible for the 5.2 second drum solo is G.C. Coleman who was the drummer for the band The Winstons way back in the 1960's. The funk and soul outfit released the track in 1969 and the sample is part of the track 'Amen Brother' although the full song is an up-tempo rendition of 'Amen', originally written by Jester Hairston. Neither the drummer nor the copy write owner ever received any royalties for this 4-beat sample, and they never request any either. It's fair to say the path of modern music was somewhat carved with this loop. Hats off.

We will be be doing a run of 100 prints in two colour ways - 50 gold on black and 50 silver on navy blue, they will be available for both women in various sizes. Keep your eyes peeled for when they go on sale. Check out more THTC produce here.

MJ Cole is a true veteran and legend of UK underground music. His track "Sincere" can be said to be one of the most well known and era defining tracks of the golden age of UK Garage. Since then his level of quality and consistency with both his own and remix work is unrivaled, and has recently produced tracks with both Wiley, Wretch 32 and Example. We caught up with him a while ago to pick his brain about the resurgence of Garage and what the future holds for him. Catch him this Saturday in Room 2 for the last ever Shogun Audio at Cable.

Over the past year or so there's been a lot of talk about the resurgence of UK garage and the formation of so-called "Future Garage". What's your take on the whole scene at the moment?

I'm loving the eclectic blend of old and new at the moment. It's great to be able to draw on flavours from a decade and blend them into one.,Funny really - I first heard the "Future Garage" term a few years back and began to experiment with that sound (Todd Edwards "I Might Be" remix, (Maddlinsky "Special" remix) and it seemed to drift away. Good news that it's back again as I feel it's a strong sound.

Who are the current artists / producers in and outside the garage scene that you're interested in at the moment and who would you like to work with most?

There's some great vocal talent out there at the minute. Am lucky enough to be working with a good selection of them. Loving producers out there like Blawan, Disclosure and Dusky.

You've recently worked with a few grime artists such as Wretch 32, Scrufizzer and Wiley. What's the appeal with working with grime artists and do you want to continue to do so?

Yep, I love working with both singers and more MC-based artists. The Grime guys have a unique flow which really suits a more stripped back, raw production style which I think contrasts well with my more musical stuff.

Your recent "Red & Black" EP showed a more atmospheric side to your production. Where would you say your heading musically?

Haha, I never worry where I'm heading really. "Red and Black" shows a more cinematic side to me - it was composed for a TV advert so it's much more atmospheric but I'm also working hard on more Underground records at the moment. It's always good to keep the spectrum broad if you can.

What are your plans for Prolific Recordings and what 1 artist would you most like to sign?

There's a couple of EP's in the pipeline for Prolific this year. Quite different sounding material. Not planning on signing anyone at the minute - too much paperwork

Any plans for a new album?

Watch this space......

The Canadian based duo have enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top of the electronic music pile in the last couple of years and can be said to be one of the main reasons why "EDM' has exploded onto the US scene. Not ones to be pigeonholed the boys productions and sets include influences of everything from Electro to Dubstep, DnB to reggae. With releases on Diplo's Mad Decent records and Kissy Sellout's San City High imprint things are only getting better for the boys. We caught up with them recently ahead of the second performance at Idiosynphonic this Friday to find out their Top 10 tracks at the moment.
