COMPRESSION 11 YEAR ANNIVERSARY w/ DAEDELUS & THE GASLAMP KILLER
103 Harriet, An-Ten-Nae, Compression & Magical Properties present...
Daedelus
Alfred was born in Santa Monica in 1977 to an artist mother and psychologist father. Musical from very early on, as a child he was classically and jazz-trained in a number of instruments, but his interests were broad and varied – less a prodigy than a renaissance boy whose obsessions ranged from Greek legend to the mountains of Wales. As a 15 year old he finally persuaded his parents to take him to the Principality. Whilst in a YMCA in London he flipped the radio dial, found a pirate radio station and taped some UK rave and hardcore. “It was my first ‘Eureka!’ moment in music,” he says.
Back in the US he joined local rock bands, jazz bands and ska bands, which he enjoyed but felt limited by,too. At home he was listening to Warp, Ninja and your harder electronic stuff. He started DJing out the more leftfield side of drum and bass and making his own rudimentary productions. They were meant to be drum & bass but they kept turning out different and from his outsider’s experiments his own style was born. He chose the name Daedelus as he had a childhood obsession with invention, and what was he doing, after all, if not tinkering and fiddling and experimenting like the “gentleman inventors” of old.

DJ Kenny Ken
From the hardcore madness of the Labyrinth and Crazy Club to the junglist domination of World Dance and AWOL, Kenny Ken has been at the forefront of the UK’ breakbeat revolution. His DJ sets have earned him the mix n’ blend moniker worldwide, and last year he took his career the next logical step with the launch of the Mix n’ Blend label. Having been in the game for nearly a decade, Kenny Ken is a true ambassador for jungle music. During this time he has earned respect throughout the scene and enjoyed almost universal popularity with the massives for his diverse and entertaining DJ sets. “When I first began DJing, it started off as a gimmick thing really. I wasn’t setting out to be a top DJ or anything, because in those early days it was all new to me – I was off the street and straight into DJing. I didn’t know which direction I was going in… all I knew is that I could play two tunes.” Kenny also runs a record label called “Mix ‘n’ Blend” which should ensure that he remains one of the top DJ’s on the Drum and Bass circuit today.
DJ SS
DJ SS played an important role in the early-'90s development of drum'n'bass, releasing a number of formative tracks beginning in 1990 on his co-owned Formation label before returning in the mid-'90s with a plethora of productions after a brief sabbatical. Born Leroy Small in Leicester, England, SS's involvement in the drum'n'bass scene predates its development, back in the days of hardcore. In the early '90s when hardcore began to morph into what would become known as drum'n'bass, he released a series of influential tracks on Formation, including "Breakbeat Pressure," one of the style's early classics.
