Mosca (UK)

Nuff Said! and Propa join forces to to bring one of the leading lights in the UK Bass music scene to Auckland, Night Slugs’ very own DJ Mosca for a night of forward thinking, bass-heavy goodness on the heavyweight sound system at the newly refurbished Be night club.

As Mosca, Tom Reid has made some of the most interesting dubstep-not-dubstep over the course of this year. Following his inclusion on our turn of the year bass music compilation ‘Elevator Music Vol. 1’ with his ‘Gold Bricks… I See You’ he released his ‘Square One’ EP on the Night Slugs imprint around the same time, confounding the expectations of almost everyone with a passing interest in dubstep with the inclusion of the sprawling 10 minute duration of his track ‘Nike.’ Shifting patterns and phases like a soundtrack, even now it still keeps you riveted from the start to end of each listen, and it helps a lot that the ‘Club Edit’ of the track, rather than confining his production to a radio edit, merely compressed it down into a shortened burst of energy resulting in a proper stomping flourish. Since then he’s remixed high profile artists like Four Tet and Foals, taking his unique horn heavy approach down fresh and interesting routes, providing some of the standout mixes of those singles. With a few bits forthcoming – including the spectacular hip hop paced jam ‘Tilt Shift’ on Manchester’s Fat City label
