New Sound


Yes! Yes! Yes!

We enter a brand new decade with a special weekend show on Friday 29 January at World Headquarters, and to mark it we've invited East London's Drum n' Bass behemoth, DJ Zinc, to play some of that bass-heavy 'Crack House' music that he's been pioneering since the start of 2009. 

Ahead of our return, this month's radio features a heap of amazing new tunes cobbled together by residents Tim Shaw and Sully, including a couple of Zinc releases - both old and new - to give you some idea of what you can expect come Friday 29 January at WHQ.

Ready Or Not!


After an amazing end to last term with a capacity blow out at WHQ, Inertia kicks off the New Year with a very special show on Friday 29 January featuring East London's Drum N Bass Veteran - 

ZINC - http://www.myspace.com/bingozinc

Since he first emerged almost 2 decades ago, Benjamin Pettit has become one of the most respected DnB producers around. Aside from heading up his own record label - "True Playaz" - alongside DJ Hype, Zinc is responsible for some of the biggest drum and bass releases of the past 15 years, a couple of which are included in this month's INERTIA GLOBAL RADIO podcast (links below). The result of this relentless work schedule has been a place in the history of the UK's underground music scene which spans from the early evolution of hardcore from its house and rave roots, through ragga and hiphop-styled hardstep, and beyond.

Having just dropped one of 2009's most hotly anticipated releases, "Crack House E.P.", Zinc's new twist on bassline-heavy electro has seen him receive non-stop radioplay from the likes of Annie Mac and Toddla T, and a touring schedule which has seen him play primetime slots at some of the most established venues in the UK, from Fabric and Matter in London to Manchester's Warehouse Party. And come Friday 29 January 2009, you can see him play the North East's most independent, underground and alternative venue - WORLD HEADQUARTERS.

With more genre-smashing sets in the form of supporting residents TIM SHAW and SULLY, this is the only way to start term.

Watch Dis!x
