Spinzone: DJ Antikks

Photobucket
DJ Antikks / You can keep your conventional beats and boring bass lines. As far as DJ Antikks is concerned, it’s all about fast and heavy grooves, nothing more nothing less.

Every First Friday for the past four years, Antikks has been a fixture at the Mercury Bar, the drum and bass epicenter and longest running monthly DNB gathering in Hawaii and a major reason why the sound has found its rightful place throughout Honolulu.

“People are definitely becoming aware of this music and slowly starting to relate,” said the former North Carolina product. “This is a music of feeling; not just physical feeling, but a deep, internal fixation derived from the emotion that creates it.”

While drum and bass may never completely break away from its rave culture connection, DJ Antikks has already proved that the sound is a force to be reckoned with but there is still more territory to be conquered.

Let the havoc wrecking continue.

4/3, Friday, “Subphonix”, Mercury Bar, 1154 Fort Street Mall, 10 PM – 2 AM, $5, 21
