STANDARD opening with Brookes Brothers (BBK,UK) & Deeizm

Club STANDARD is a drum and bass club hosted by L.A.O.S. collective. STANDARD is held bi-monthly in the Mecca of bassheads: club redrum. The opening night presents one of todays and tomorrows most interesting artist: Brookes Brothers (Breakbeat Kaos, UK) !!! Brookes brothers are behind last years most praised releases like Tear you down, F Zero, J-majik's Grazy World remix . They are big and they will be even bigger. This is a must check for the musical drum and bass lovers as well as bassline bouncers.

And if that just wasn't enough we decided to make this a night to remember when mc Deeizm (Human Elements / Liquid V, UK) brings her stunning vocal talents to fulfill the musical experience. She performed at STANDARD last year with Makoto and people have been demanding her back, so here she is!





The Brookes Brothers have emerged as one of the major breakthrough drum&bass artists of recent years. Raised in London, the two brothers discovered a love for the more soulful sounds of drum&bass around the turn of the millennium. They have a string of releases under their belt from top-notch labels like: Breakbeat Kaos, Viper, Frequency, Critical just to name a few.

2008 has seen the brothers catapulted even further up the ladder with a string of massive releases. Earlier in the year saw their remix of J Majik & Wickaman's `Crazy World' picked up by Ministry Of Sound's Data imprint, pricking up the ears of the Radio 1 bods so much so it gained them daytime radio play as well as huge support yet again from the likes of Zane Lowe, Annie Mac and beyond. Then onto `Tear You Down' on BBK, the track that has recently seen them B-listed on Radio 1 with even Sarah Cox giving it `Record Of The Week' status. Quite some feat for drum & bass, proving you can retain popularity in the underground of the scene and appeal to the mainstream at the same time. Good music is good music and these guys are dripping in the stuff.

With residencies at clubs such as Fabric and an ever-increasing amount of DJ sets around the globe, the debut album slated for Summer of 2009 on Breakbeat Kaos, remixes of the Chemical Brother's `Star Guitar' and BPA's `Seattle' on Southern Fried, 2009 is shaping up to be the year of the Brookes Brothers. You have been warned!

The winner of STANDARD MIXTAPE CHALLENGE is:

St. Laurent (Funk'it, FI)

Here is some info of this selector:

His ancestor, St. Lawrence, was grilled to death by the Roman empire in 258AD. While facing the inevitable, he insisted to be turned around to ensure proper cooking.

Now, almost two milleniums later, St. Laurent is back to revenge the death. By serving soulful d&b beats to the public he's continuing the work of redeeming innocent souls from being destroyed by bad music.

Highly influenced by the sound of the early and mid 90's, St. Laurent has grown to appreciate the deep sounds of well known labels such as Good Looking, Metalheadz and Moving Shadow. Taking in account the progress of drum & bass in the last years, this leads to a wide range of different kinds of selections, be it old school sounds for a café or soulful liquid for the dancefloor. You can also find a set of brokenbeat/soul/jazz from his record bag.

St. Laurent will perform at the next STANDARD. Congratulations!
