Lineup 2012
Buck Banger
Halifax, NS
Tim Barrett never met a breakbeat he didn’t like. Beginning his dj journey in 2002 he was a bonified hip hopper through & through but still had an enormous love for electronic music, so he found himself trying to blend hip hop acapellas over techno records. In early 2005 he bought a few drum n bass vinyls @ the local record shop & instantly became an addict for jungle/drum n bass music.
After cutting his teeth on any dnb that came his way he started developing a style of his own when he discovered the sounds of Ragga Jungle. The earthy riddims & beats fused with dem reggae vocals he knew where his head would always be…deep in the heart of the Jungle.
Now, with the emergence of dubstep onto the world stage he feels as though his musical influences have come full circle into a particular style that can be just as tough as dem ragga sounds but with a hip hop swagger & a drum n bass crunch.
He started his own production team / crew The Halifield Movement in late 2007, who are now notorious within the Halifax electronic community.
7 years & a hundred or so shows later, sharing the stage with such names as RCola, DZ, Mark Instinct, Junior Sanchez & many other local legends, Buck Banger is @ the height of his abilities as well as who he is as a dj, as a hypeman & as a Halifax Bass Music promoter. Ready, willing & able to rock crowds on the mic or the turntables, he’s sure to impress as he will always give you more Bang fo ya Buck!
