Specimen A
I like 80s hair bands. They’re classic. If there was ever a trend that needs coming back, its proper power-ballad hair-band stadium rock. I cannot imagine how awesome that’s gonna be. [Foreigner - Cold As Ice] Still, Specimen A aint hair metal. Hell, these guys do better at dubstep and breakbeat than they do at...
NAPT vs Miike Snow vs Passion Pit
I don’t really post mash-ups, because they’re usually nothing new. But this one’s quite interesting. NAPT from London pushing their n-funk sound out to the masses , with this Miike Snow + Passion Pit rework. What’s n-funk exactly? It’s breakbeat, electro and house in a blender. They’ve got a new single coming out towards the...
K12
K12 does the kind of filthy electro/dnb cross-over mash-up to perfection: hard, fast and pounding.
Irrelevant
“Hailing from Colchester originally coming from a tech-house background Irrelevant has slowly been creeping onto the scene with his deeper dubstep tracks and anonymous vibe. (Hence the name Irrelevant) Not one to seek attention or gratis his music has just been out there for discovery. Once Alley Cat from Kokeshi heard his demo she realised...
Magnetic Man – I Need Air
BENGA + SKREAM + ARTWORK = MAGNETIC MAN. ALL I CAN SAY IS OHMYDAYZZZZ!!!! FUCKING INSANE. Dubstep, trance, dub whatever it's fucking mint!
Isaac Himself
Ok, i have just spent a whole hour analysing this artist. I like acid. But only when the rolling 808 LFO moogs are layered over a subtle but insistent muffled techno beat. Isaac Himself does his acid in a pretty interesting way, fusing real acid jazz drumkits with funk. It’s not an easy concept. [Video:...
Modual
By far one of the most refreshing stuff I’ve heard in my ears for awhile. Modual is a duo from Sweden and the kinda music they make is what they call popstep. Its mixing elements of drum and bass, dubstep, garage, songwriting skill and lyrics laid over with properly sung vocals. It’s really smooth, easy...
Instra:mental Fact Mix 158
The Instra:mental dj combo, Al Beek and Kid Drama aka Alex Green and Damon Kirkham has just made a lovely mix for Fact Mag and they want you to know about it. Its really a far-reaching mix across their own Nonplus artist roster. For those who haven’t been introduced to the Nonplus label before, this...
Ashes
Ashes is a dnb / dubstep producer outta Ottawa, Canada. He’s just dropped me a really nice email about this new mix he’s done and I’m like yeah, sure, I’ll check it. It’s a pretty solid and tight, funky dubstep remix of Marvin Gaye’s track, Heard It Through The Grapevine. I’m thinkin, this is actually...
Lung
Lung is 19 year old dnb / dubstep sensation from Cardiff and if you haven’t heard of him yet, you very soon will. I can’t remember how I chanced upon James Ellaway, must be through one of my forays in the wilderness of myspazzz. His style is blissed-out soulful and chilled out, if it aint...
Adam F and Horx Mix
Adam F motherfuckers!!! In case yr memory needs a bit of dustin’, dig into yr drum and bass record collection. This is the man who did that deep classic dnb hit, Circles and that massive tune, Metropolis. He’s worked with Redman, Missy, Busta, got his own radio show and scored a coupla top 40s. Now...
