In 1998 Charlie started experimenting with trip hop and breaks, but it was his love for cutting edge breakbeats and massive basslines that drew Charlie into the world of drum and bass in 1999. Since then Charlie has immersed himself in all things Phat! In 2000 Charlie promoted some of new Zealand's first ever hip hop & dnb fusion gigs, with P Money, Manuel Bundy, MC Green and Imon Starr, rhyming and scratching over Subtronix's 48 Sonic, Riddle, Motion and Nick D (then known as Trick D). In 2002 Charlie founded 'Offbeat Records' which promoted loads of events over a 4 year period, bringing Concord Dawn, Timmy Schumacher, Angela Fisken, Greg Churchill and DJ Sirvere to the backblocks of Waiheke Island. In 2006 Charlie started his 2 year stint as host of ROLL TV, a nationwide TV show dedicated to drum and bass, where he interviewed world class producers Chris. Su, Bryan G, D Bridge, Limewax and Artificial Intelligence just to name a few. 2006 also saw Charlie appointed as label manager for Concord Dawn's 'Uprising Records', which he managed for 6 months before moving on to become drum and bass editor of the 'Infusion Magazine'. In 2007 Charlie teamed up with DJ Swindle to host Kiwi FM's 'NZ Drum & Bass Show', which he is still currently hosting. Charlie has been Djing for 15 years and has performed all over the country, and at some of NZ’s largest festivals including Phat, Groove in the Park and numerous Deep, Hard & Funky events. Charlie has a unique drive and passion for beats. He has truly dedicated his life to music, and given all he has done over the past 10 years, there is no doubt that he does it all for the love. Keep an eye out for his latest OPTIMUS GRYME release, a 4 track EP entitled 'Annihilation of the Ego', forthcoming on New Zealand's very own 'Bassweight Recordings'. Out next week!

Evil Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 BASWGT03 Annhilation of The Ego EP a. Annhilation of the Ego b. Immortal c. While you were sleeping d. A Billy (feat billy Fluid) Annhilation of the Ego An annhilation of the boundrys between the legacy that is Dub/Roots/Reggae musiv in Aotearoa. And the emerging force that is Dubstep, this tune has all the space and subtle Dub sensibility to introduce what charlie has to say about Dub today. Immortal This track made Bassweight recs stand up and take notice of O.G's Dubstep production. Tight Newskool Drums meet an earie gregorian Atmos and vocal elements.With breakdowns that tease of junglistic Journeys. While you were sleeping While some of us were sleeping it seems O.G has boldly voyaged deep into the tech realms the genres uncharted caverns. a dark techno infused tearout with breaks that will melt your face, accompanied closley by legions of psychedelic ewoks with lasers set on reverb A Billy O.G teams up with longtime partner in grime, Billy Fluid, for some proper grimestep business. Billys rhymes are solid, articulate and well manipulated in the tracks production. M.C's have always played an important role in establishing emerging styles in bass culture. This track blazes a wobble laden trail toward big tings for Dubstep and Kiwi lyricists.
