Loadstar

Loadstar is playing at the Observatory in Santa Ana this weekend so I thought I'd give you guys a little heads up about what you might be hearing.

Loadstar is made up of Gavin Harris and Nick Hill, formerly and respectively known to the world of drum & bass as Xample and Lomax. These have have continuously surpassed the highest expectations in recent years imbuing incredible energy and impeccable musical precision into each and every release.

They recently released their first full-length LP "Future Perfect" on RAM Records and it's getting incredible reviews. Not only that, just a couple weeks ago Loadstar finally graced the immortal decks at BBC Radio1 for their first essential mix. 117 tracks of pure, unadulterated, heavy drum and bass spanning two hours. Tracks include hits from Koven, Gemini, DC Breaks, Wilkinson and more.

And if Dirtyphonics last Thursday was any indication of what to expect at the Observatory when drum and bass is in the house, it's gonna be a rowdy night. Dirtyphonics went on for nearly a full two hours, and I'm betting Loadstar is willing to top that.

Besides being a world-renowned DJ and producer duo, Loadstars' members are fun guys. The last time I saw Loadstar, Lomax was playing again at the Observatory and opening for Ben, one half of the duo making up Delta Heavy. I waited outside the venue until 3am for an autograph from Lomax, got it and then spent the next half hour playing soccer and watching Ben tackle Lomax into a bush. DJs really are people too.
