Martin Kemp @ Middlesex, 2.21.11 + Free Download & SubFM Stream

The SUBduction Productions team have been stepping up their game over the past six months, hosting guests in this city that everyone will be raving about six months from now. They have a show lined up tonight at the Middlesex Lounge (315 Mass Ave, Cambridge) showcasing the talent of both UK producer Martin Kemp, as well as NYC’s Contakt, who runs the popular Turrbotax night and blog which share the same name.

Kemp is one of the freshest faces on the rapidly growing (and evolving) “bass music” front, where genres or labels cease to exist. Have a listen to some of Kemp’s tracks below and you’ll see what I mean. The influences come from everywhere: house, detroit techno, R&B, soul, rare groove, it’s all in the crock pot. Kemp has also been kind enough to put a free track out there to the masses: a remix to Norrit’s “N Gbekinho”.
