DJ NONAMES (London UK) - the dubstep/hip hop/grime Champion of the World

Best known for his involvement with England's premiere hip hop crew Foreign Beggars, Nonames is also fresh off the North American/Russian U.N.K.L.E. tour which is scheduled to resume later in 2008. His scratches and production can be heard on records by the Gorillaz, Amp Fiddler, and of course Foreign Beggars among many others.

In February 2008, Nonames is bringing current UK garage, dubstep, and grime to New York City in two rare chance dj performances. Also appearing with Nonames is one of the most prolific NYC bred up-and-comers, simply known as OLE. A DJ, producer, and author of countless Brooklyn spray paint lay-ups, OLE will bring the trans-atlantic theme around full circle with his well-recognized "tech-noir" approach. Get ready to hear some of the dirtiest electronic selections on the planet.

I thought Messy Bonnie Raitt was the grime champion of the world?

Definitely. She does that wicked wicked spin. The bridgeworkers on Delancey never stop talking about it.

Kudos on the current UK garage and dubstep. Does NYC really need any more grime, though?

I've heard of DJ Nonames before.
I think he must be pretty good.


That's one of the things that I love about the UK, their love of a "scene".
If three people are standing on a corner and all happen to be wearing red shirts...
It's a movement!
The Face, ID Magazine, countless blogs and websites will all pronounce red shirts the new thing.
Then just as fast as red shirts come in, they will be ridiculed the next day by the same people as tired.
The UK has created more genres of music than anyone.
"Dubstep", "Grime", "UK Garage" -not to be confused with "Speed Garage" or plain "Garage" or "New York Garage" or God forbid "Garage Band".
It's all a lot of fun I have to admit.
It's much more fun to belong to a movement -like "Grime" or "Dubstep".
But...
The downside of all this is that nothing ever really gets a chance to develop.
People are over it and on to something new before it really becomes something.
In New York, something like the "Ball House", "Voguing" scene ("Paris is Burning" etc.) developed over 30 years! It is still alive and developing today. Madonna has come and gone but the kids are still Voguing to the death at balls. The houses are still alive.

The Brits are very good at marketing and that's why London is always so much fun.
There is always something "new".
I know what "Dubstep" is but now I have to find out about "Grime" before it's too late.

Anna Nicole,
What say you?

oh yeah... nonames is also playing at Midway on Friday the 29th (also FREE).

Just found out that the party at 205 on thursday is having Nonames + OLE on the ground level and Substance featuring DJ Alexander Technique in the basement.
cant wait.

Alexander Technique?
Now there is a hot DJ!
Alex is a freak on turntables, CD decks...
you name it, he can play it.
I love to watch him work.

His party is called "DJs Are Not Rock Stars" but he is a rock star.

He doesn't look too happy in this picture.
This must have been taken after the time he and I battled at Mr. Black and I beat him down!

(Please don't tell him I said that. He'll beat the crap out of me.)

And he's hung like a horse.


BTW I love OLE referring to himself in third person. It's so CC Bloom.

I wasn't going to say it but now that you brought it up Pickles...
His girlfriend is so hot.
I guess that's how he keeps her around.
That and those magic fingers.

He once told me Latin Inches asked him to be in the mag. Can you imagine? I bet it touches the floor.

I'm sure.
Let's ask him for a pic.
You know he'll send us one.

Consider this topic HIJACKED!

not a bad thing. this is very entertaining. only met alexander once before and yet i feel as if i know him - thanks to you.

ps: so random how i posted up on here. showed this thread to a friend. she was like: "dont you remember playing click & drag or were you too high to remember..." i just now put 2 and 2 together and had a really big "OH SH**!" moment. the flashback floodgate is 20 minutes past ajar. ted and di??? ain't that some sh*t.

Oh damn that is too funny! Well the world is pretty small after all.

Yeah didn't mean to hijack the topic sometimes we get carried away on sidenotes. Carry on...

Oh c'mon Pickles...
What is more interesting?
Talking about a DJ's awesome turntable techniques or talking about Alexander Technique's awesome...
"technique"!

Actually I'm into Nonames' technique if he really looks like the cutie in that picture! MEE-ow.

I'm more into the "Alexander Technique".

BTW Pickles,
Stuart Emailed this topic to Alex.
Maybe we'll get that pic of the "technique" after all!

Email to Pickles and I from Alex:

He misses us Pickles...
but still no pic.

205 was ok. the midway gig though... we're setting up and some detectives with court orders come and tell us to pack up and that the club is shutting down indefinitely. left around 11 and there were already 20 heads outside trying to get in. thats some bullshit.
oh well
