Surya
Dub wins 2008 SF Bay Guardian
Best of the Bay for
Best Ambassadors of Dread Bass
The Surya Dub crew continue to pave the way for new
styles and sounds and along the way get a newly created
section in the BoB.. Super thanks to our fans and supporters
round the world for this! Here's what the Guardian says...
BEST
AMBASSADORS OF DREAD BASS
"That
cracked and funky dubstep sound surged through Clubland's
speakers last year, an irresistible combination of breakbeats
energy, dub wooziness, sly grime, intel glitch, and
ragga relaxation. Many parties took the sound into uncharted
waters, infusing it with hip-hop hooks, Bollywood extravaganza,
roots rock swing, or "world music" folksiness.
But only one included all those variations simultaneously,
while pumping local and international live acts, fierce
visuals, multimedia blowouts, and an ever-smiling crowd
of rainbow-flavored fans: Surya Dub, a monthly lowdown
hoedown at Club Six. The Surya crew, including perennial
Bay favorites DJ Maneesh the Twister and Jimmy Love,
and wondrous up-and-comers like Kush Arora, Kid Kameleon,
DJ Amar, Ripley, and MC Daddy Frank on the mic, describes
its ass-thumping sound as "dread bass," which
moves beyond wordy genre description into a cosmic territory
the rumble in your eardrums can surely attest to. Surya
Dub keeps it in the community, too, helping to promote
a growing network of citywide dubstep events and spreading
their dread bass gospel with parties in India." |

Kush
Arora's Dub Elements EP feat Maneesh the Twister,
Lukeino, & Process Rebel
Kush
Arora's rare limited edition colored vinyl is now
finally available digitally and his collaboration
with Maneesh the Twister on the theme song Surya Dub
has broken the Top 5 of all downloads on Beatsource.com!
Surf's Up feat Lukeino is a local classic and Boss
Strut dub hightlights the dub in dubstep as this EP
masterfully weaves between both genres. It's available
on both Beatsource
and Beatport.

Maneesh
the Twister wins 2007 Best DJ in the San Francisco Bay
Guardian Reader's Poll
The
3rd Annual San Francisco Bay Guardian Reader's Poll
for Best DJs of 2007
is in and Surya Dub's own Maneesh
the Twister wins BEST DANCE CLUB DJ 2007!
Here's what
the they say,
"As co-founder of the Dhamaal Artist
Collective, Maneesh the Twister was already an established
figure in the Bay Area's thriving South Asian hybrid
beats scene when he founded Surya Dub at Club Six (every
4th Saturday). In less than a year, this monthly party
has become the premier destination for the dubwize community.
His reputation for bass-driven eclecticism - encompassing
everything from Roots Reggae to Dubstep, Breakbeat to
Bhangra, South Asian Electronica and Global Bass Beat
- has garnered a passionate following and multiple accolades
and awards. Get your ass down to Club Six and prepare
to shake it, and don't miss his sets at Dub Mission,
the nation's longest-running weekly dub & roots
night at Elbo Room every Sunday!"
