Saturday October 3rd 2009 @ La Strada!
Join us & 300+ of our closest friends
for a big, bad, bass filled, Libra crew b-day bashment
as well as the OFFICIAL PRAIA URBANA AFTERPARTY!
IT’S TIME TO GET GRITSY!!!
If you’re not in tune w/ the Gritsy movement, here’s a little background
by Karma Houston’s very own John Tran [Kung Fu Pimp]:
Imagine the 1st time you went to a club, heard a completely different type
of music than from the radio & being instantly hooked!
Add a fine tuned soundsystem, colorfully designed flyers, sexy lights, sexy beats,
great DJs, an avid crowd & you have GRITSY!
Still trying to figure out what GRITSY & DUBSTEP is all about? READ ON!
Here is a definition of dubstep according to our good friend, Joe Nice,
the stateside’s #1 selector [dj], of the dubstep sound:
Deep in the heart of South London’s underground lies a sound that percolates
in the streets and vibrates the speakers…dubstep is the soundtrack.
A vibe that rests on the edge of relaxation and explosion, that flourishes
in the middle ground of the comfortable sounds of soulful house and the unbridled energy of drum & bass…..
Music made in London — forged from multicultural influences, syncopated rhythms and loads of bass.
Don’t know what exactly GRITSY is?
GRITSY, the party that first brought the dubstep sound to H-town, is just a straight up PARTY
with some wonderful peoples, great djs/selectors, and a soundsystem that’ll make your body SHAKE
with some serious BASS!
The Gritsy Temple of BOOM!

For one very special night only…
We’re taking over a dope new venue, setting up a downstairs second area hosted by our GRITSY brothers in bass & last but not least… invited a very special guest from LONDON, UK to set the candles on the cake on FIRE!!!!
KLUTE!
Klute is the primary recording alias of Tom Withers, the respected drum and bass and techno Producer and DJ from London, UK.
In 2001 he established the label Commercial Suicide. This label received widespread acclaim in the electronic music community. The track “Time 4 Change” from “No One’s Listening Anymore” was the last tune played on-air by John Peel.
Commercial Suicidel has also released tracks from artists like Amit, Break, Digital, Spirit, Calibre, Hive, SKC and Chris Su, establishing itself as one of the bigger players in drum and bass.
Klute’s style of drum and bass is strongly influenced by techno. It is deep and progressive, with flavours of house, dub and trance, and frequent use of vocals. Although Klute is one of the most melodic and musical producers in drum and bass, his tracks are still typically intended for the DJ and dancefloor. They should not be classified alongside the atmospheric or “intelligent” drum and bass popularised by LTJ Bukem, nor should they be considered to be liquid funk
