Last Friday, Trouble & Bass celebrated their 5 year anniversary at Webster Hall with an insane party in the true style we’ve come to expect from the gang. Drop the Lime performed with his entire live band, putting on an extraordinary show to accompany his “raveabilly” sound. Plastician proceeded to drop some heavy bass, shaking the very foundations of Webster Hall with his gritty dubstep. And let’s not forget the rest of the Trouble & Bass crew, namely AC Slater, Star Eyes and The Captain, who each stepped behind the decks to drop some celebratory beats.
We’re looking forward to yet another year of Trouble & Bass glory, and can’t wait to see what they’ve got up their sleeves next. In the meantime…

When you hit the five-year mark, you either have to go big or go home. Trouble & Bass has opted to go big – make that massive – for their five-year anniversary party, which will be held on Friday, September 16 at Webster Hall. The night will feature all four members of the Trouble and Bass Crew – Drop the Lime, AC Slater, Star Eyes and The Captain, a live set from Drop the Lime, and a special guest that will be revealed closer to the date of the show.
We’re especially excited for this event, not just because we’re celebrating a milestone anniversary, but also because we haven’t seen the whole T&B crew together on stage since last Halloween. Waaaay too long, if you ask us.
To commemorate the occasion, the T&B crew went out and got a set of matching tattoos — check out the video by Matt Canada after the jump.
Advance tickets are $15 and available HERE. Be sure to check in with us in September for your chance to win a pair of tickets to the event.

Next Wednesday, May 11, Trouble & Bass favorite Drop The Lime will debut his full live show at Music Hall of Williamsburg. As anybody familiar with Drop The Lime knows, his musical talent and personal swagger pretty much guarantees that his live show will be something that is not to be missed. Opening for DTL will be New York locals Cubic Zirconia who will be performing live, as well as Trouble & Bass DJs.
Drop The Lime has been honing his craft for years. From humble beginnings as a choirboy to a childhood obsession with 50s rock’n’roll, the New York local has been experimenting with sound for years via the underground electronic scene of Kid 606’s TigerBeat6 label, Mad Decent and French label Institubes (under his alter ego “Curses!”). Drop The Lime’s influences range from Brian Eno to rockabilly (he’s well known for his 50s doo wop and soul sets) to Sonic Youth to Wu Tang but things don’t just stop there. He has been running Trouble & Bass since 2006, and anyone who’s been to one of their parties knows that this crew is made up of the DJs who are defining a new New York sound.
2009 was a big year for Drop the Lime. He released two huge club hits, “Devils Eyes” and “Set Me Free”, the combined force of which helped him topple the likes of Phoenix, Florence & The Machine and The XX as “Most Blogged Artist on the Planet” (Hype Machine). Luca took his unique style of DJing around the globe, farther afield than ever before, crisscrossing North America many times as well Europe, China, Singapore and Australia. Drop The Lime has continued his quest to be one of the world’s leading DJ/producers, with a slew of singles including the mind blowing “Sex Sax”, which tore up dance floors around the globe and was remixed ferociously by the likes of Sinden and Bart B More to much support. As a follow up to “Sex Sax” came ”Hot As Hell”, a track that takes it’s inspiration from the 1950’s rock’n’roll and the rockabilly sound Drop The Lime grew up on. A real original sound that he is making his own, the conjunction of Rockabilly and dance music is innovation personified. His full length album “Enter the Night” will be released September 12 and has already been hailed by Mixmag as “a hellraising, rockabilly road trip.

Last Friday, our buddies over at Trouble & Bass took their always awesome party to the next level, with Untold, Toddla T, Redlight, Canblaster, and of course Trouble & Bass crew members spinning some fantastic bass driven beats. They each took the audience through their own individual blends of house, dubstep and garage, bringing that low end focus that the Trouble & Bass parties are infamous for. Untold even dropped the James Blake remix of “Stop What You’re Doing” to uproarious cheers from the hyped up crowd that filled the dancefloor of Good Units. We can’t wait to see who Trouble & Bass brings next, as these events only seem to be getting better and better. Until then, check out the full photo gallery from the night’s madness below.
