Step 13 is a British live drum and bass / rock and roll band from London. ==History== Step 13 was founded in 1996 as a collective of djs and musicians, linked by a common interest in music experimentation. Originally known as Step 13 Recordings, they would DJ jungle and drum and bass at free party events and club nights across South and East England and throughout London. In 2000 Step 13 hosted their first regular club night, Mixamotosis〔(Mixamotosis UK Hip Hop )〕 at Madame Jojo's in Soho. The night was the first to be exclusively dedicated to UK Hip Hop and saw artists like DJ Skitz, Roots Manuva, Rodney P, Estelle (musician), Skinny Man, Scratch Perverts, and Task Force performing.〔(Electronic Beats Magazine-TMobile )〕 In 2002 Step13 formed a band to inject a new lease of life into the drum and bass scene which was suffering from musical stagnation. Based at Studio 7K in East London, the band originally had 13 members, their first live gig came in June 2003 at Cargo in Shoreditch. Within a short time they developed a sound and feel to their music, in part taking up the genre which Roni Size Reprazent had begun.〔(Knowledge Magazine )〕 In 2006 Step13 established the first live drum and bass band night in the UK, NRFTW (No Rest For The Wicked) at the Rhythm Factory, Whitechapel.〔(NRFTW - website )〕 By 2008, and with female vocalist Lucy Randell, who sings on the fourth The Streets album ''Everything is Borrowed'', Step 13 spent the summer touring music festivals, including headlining at Kingston Green Fair,〔(Kingston Green Fair )〕 and appearing on two stages at the Glastonbury Festival.〔(Glastonbury Festivals - Line-Up 2008 )〕 2009 has seen Step 13 concentrating work in the studio, but have played out in London a few times, notably at seOne club〔()〕 at London Bridge. And also again at Glastonbury Music Festival in June.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Step 13」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
