THE BUG, nome caldo della due giorni del Viper,  accasato presso  le prestigiose etichette Ninja Tune e Hyperdub. Fin dai primi anni ’90 il producer londinese ha saputo reinterpretare un suono tutto suo costituito da una miscela esplosiva di industrial, dub e breakbeat che nel corso del tempo si è associata alla vibrante e crescente scena dubstep.
Dal ‘97 ad oggi The Bug ha collaborato con vari artisti, tra i quali: Dj Vadim, The Rootsman, Mc Daddy Freddy, Loefah, Kode9, Skream. Tra questi spicca anche MC FLOW DAN, fondatore del collettivo Roll Deep sul palco del Viper insieme a The Bug per una straordinaria e inedita performance.
Chiude la programmazione DJ HATCHA, attivo come dj garage e 2step  a Croydon (UK) città natale del primo filone del genere dubstep. Sotto la sua ala protettiva sono emersi anche i due prodigi della scena underground londinese Skream e Benga.

Recentemente la fiorentina NUMA CREW è salita alla ribalta della scena europea partecipando nel settembre 2010 all’Outlook il più importante festival mondiale dedicato alla dubstep music.

INCOMlNG TRANSMISSION ON MICRO WAVE 1.513, THIS A REPORT FADE IN FROM GOTHIC FUTURES. HUEMANS REMAIN YOUR COARSE AND LISTEN TO OUR PRAYS!

NARRATION ON ALL:
We see monks walking through dimly lit catacombs, through the eyes of a rat. As the rat scurries throughout the catacombs past the monks feet, it runs up under an illuminated door of gold and special insignias of ornament. Through the rats eyes, three monks are seen dressed in cows skins. When a human, dressed in white with a purple scapular walks into the room with his astrological consultant, the rat runs from beneath the door, jumps onto a cross, and listens to their prayers.

Rammellzee, Graffiti Artist, Dies at 49
By RANDY KENNEDY

Rammellzee,
an early graffiti writer, hip-hop pioneer and performance artist whose
style influenced the Beastie Boys and Cypress Hill, died Sunday in Far
Rockaway, Queens, where he was raised. He lived in Battery Park City in
Manhattan.

He was 49 and died after a long illness, said his wife, Carmela Zagari Rammellzee.

He
became known in graffiti circles in the late 1970s and early 1980s for
hitting the A train and other subway lines around Queens with his
spiky-lettered work. He appeared in one of the most important graffiti
and hip-hop films, Charlie Ahearn’s “Wild Style.” In 1983 his
on-again-off-again friend, the painter Jean-Michel Basquiat, helped
produce and illustrated the record cover for “Beat Bop,” a 12-inch
single by Rammellzee and K-Rob that became one of Rammellzee’s
best-known performances and a hip-hop touchstone. It became the
unofficial theme song for Henry Chalfant and Tony Silver’s graffiti
documentary “Style Wars.”

He was an eccentric, outsize figure
almost never photographed without wearing one of the elaborate
science-fiction inspired masks and costumes that he made along with the
sculpture and paintings that became the mainstays of his career in
later years. He fashioned himself as an urban philosopher, whose
overarching theory, which he called Gothic Futurism, posited that
graffiti writers were trying to liberate the mystical power of letters
from the structures of modern alphabetical standardization, and had
inherited this mission in part from medieval monks.

“He didn’t
separate his fantastic work from his life,” Mr. Ahearn said. “So when
he spoke to you, he often spoke in character and that could sometimes
be upsetting.” He legally changed his name to Rammellzee when he was
younger, Mr. Ahearn said. As for the name he was born with, Mr. Ahearn
said that he knew it, but would keep it to himself, in keeping with his
friend’s wishes.

A full obituary will appear in The New York Times.
