LA DJ Receives Death Threats For Playing Dubstep

Despite it’s immense popularity, dubstep continues to be the most divisive sound in EDM. Need more proof? How about Los Angeles DJ Fei-Fei, who took to the tables at Armin van Buuren’s A State Of Trance party as part of the larger Beyond Wonderland event in Southern California this weekend. The 10-year DJ vet decided to mix things up with a selection that included moombahton, hip-hop and the dreaded “D-word.” Seems AvB’s fans, who were listening to her set online didn’t take so kindly to this inclusive sound and got very hostile on Fei-Fei’s Facebook page.

“My set was unexpected, yes, but I didn’t think I was gonna be receiving death threats on my Facebook. That’s harsh,” Fei-Fei told LA Weekly.

Photek & Kuru :: “Fountainhead”

In his two decades-long career, Photek has shaken every branch of the bass-heavy tree, from his early jungle tunes and classic minimalist drum & bass to dalliances with acid house and more recent experimentations with Burning Man-flavored “bass music,” he always seems to hit right at the heart of whatever is happening in contemporary subwoofers.

Photek has been selected to mix the latest in the long-running DJ Kicks series, and like the 39 previous kickers, who range from Carl Craig and Thievery Corporation to Kode9 and Hot Chip, he offers up an original track to go with his selections. “Fountainhead” is a collaboration with dubsteppers Kuru, and while it’s hardly surprising to see Photek move in this direction, it’s equally impressive to hear how much the style-du-jour sounds like his most prolific ’90s d&b work.

That said, his role as a music producer has garnered high praise amongst his peers, more recently with fashion house Ralph Lauren where he’s been active as music director in past campaigns. Today, he shares with us an embodiment of all things experienced formed into one “video single” to give viewers an added effect.

A hybrid of dubstep, hip hop, UK bass and even traces alt-rock are all present in this new one titled “Roses on Your Silhouette.” More information to come.
