Inside Clubbing puts the spotlight on club culture - in all its sweaty, visceral and seductive glory. Moving from hip-hop clubs to fetish events and beyond, the author guides us through the huge spectrum of the contemporary club experience. Drawing on interviews with clubbers from a variety of backgrounds, the author dispels myths and offers new insight into the clubbing scene. Contrary to popular perception, for example, clubbing is not just for youths. The clubbers in Inside Clubbing range from mid-twenties to mid-fifties. Many have been on the scene for years and offer a historical perspective on changes over the last decade. The range of clubs and clubbers discussed also demonstrates the diversity of club culture its more than just an ecstasy-fuelled dance scene. Taking us into queer, trance, Asian, techno, drum n bass, and sex clubs - among others - Inside Clubbing explores the real practice of clubbing. It looks at what people experience and how it affects them, as well as their values and concerns - from friendship and community to drugs, the body, and life outside the clubbing space. This book breaks new ground in offering us the most balanced and sophisticated understanding of the club scene to date
Block Rockin Beats has tons of cool grooves and fills for the intermediate to advanced drummer. This book reflects recent musical trends by focusing on funky rock, hip hop, jungle and drum n bass influenced patterns for the drum kit. As time marches on, popular music continues to evolve and change. Block Rockin Beats is designed to give the drummer more ideas and tools to help function in a musical environment that was not only influenced by jazz, blues, gospel, country, soul, latin and funk styles but also shaped by D.J.s, samplers and electronic music. Drummers are often called upon now to replace or ad to programmed drums in the recording studio. For live shows, live drumming might be melded together with electronic elements or D.J.s, or both Rock and popular music are incorporating so many different elements and styles at this point, its hard to keep track! Update your rhythmic vocabulary with some Block Rockin Beats

ABAGA Records was formed to fill a gaping, moist hole in the Scottish music industry – and not an anus. Born out of a raging sub-lust into Edinburgh’s dubstep, jungle and drum & bass culture to unite the fringes of its small but vibrant music scene.
ABAGA Records is Tactus, Camphor Haze and The Mighty Quornelius: three Scotland-based music producers who also will be spinning some MASSIVE choons in your area (provided you live in Edinburgh or Glasgow).
In the coming months ABAGA will be releasing vinyl, CDs and mp3s featuring up and coming artists in Scotland, putting on nights and heightening awareness of dubstep in any conceivable manner.
Watch out here for FREE 320MP3 release of the dubstep track REMEDY - a collaboration between both labels featuring artists: Tactus and Spiral Soundsystem…COMING SOON!!!
