Lena Cullen
Lena Cullen‘s got a new EP out. You will remember her from the countless She Is Danger posts I made a year back. I don’t know what this means for She Is Danger, Maya‘s gone on to do minimal techno DJ sets on her own and now Lena’s done this solo EP. Is this the...
DISTANCE – dark dubstep waves
Dark dubstep vibes tonight folks, this being a shitty Monday evening, gotta let it out with some menacing sounds, thankfully we’ve got DISTANCE here with us tonight. You may or may not have heard him, but he’s one of the figureheads to shape dubstep as we know it today with the likes of mates like...
Sub Swara
Wow. Think Underworld gone drum crazy and you’re not even close. New Yorkers Sub Swara has perfected the science of uniting different forms of bass music into something altogether different – combining dubstep, live percussions, jungle and big basslines that dont let off. Steam is the first to impress, pounding live drums recorded in a...
Hiatus
The first thing that struck me about Hiatus was the deeply moving music, he calls it “cinematic electronica”. Cinematic for a reason – it evokes nostalgia for the listener, like a past life realised in a moment of epiphany. The second thing that interests me is his heritage: here is a London native, a DJ,...
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!
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...
Microclinic
Can’t remember how Microclinic got on my radar but their music is not something you forget easily. Microclinic, from Milan, does dubstep, but not in your typical swingin distorted wobbles and predictable drops. Hell, it’s not even really dubstep, its more chilled and downtempo and yet techy at the same time. Very heavy trip hop...
Holiday For Strings
When Pony from Thieves Like Us dropped me an email, I thought it was a joke. If there was ever such a thing and making a fool of yourself over email, I think I may have done it. It went something along the lines of, OHMYGOD HTIS IS INSANE!!!! I am absoutely OBESSSED with thieves...
Nocturnal Sunshine, Maya Jane Coles
Maya Jane Coles of She Is Danger has revealed a secret called Nocturnal Sunshine, an experimental side project dabbling in her signature tech house / dub and electronica combo.I’m liking the deep, chilled and minimal groove.Really fresh and tight.Sometimes its nice to move away from typical “bangers”and appreciate tracks with more substance such as these....
XI – ambient dub
Tonight we’re getting into the groove for some ambient, spacey dub from Toronto’s XI. Perfect for that Valentine’s Day meal or after dinner shenanigans, if you know what I mean. I’ve only temporarily sneaked off to do this quick post, so ya’ll need to appreciate. :) The track 000 is already a firm favorite here....
Baobinga
You know I’m not usually too keen on mixetapes coz they dont really show the potential of the DJ whatever. But this dude, has got mad hot skills, man. This is Baobinga‘s first foray into jungle/DnB and also features all his original raggastep stuff he’d recently done with MCs Spyda (Pendulum), Rubi Dan (The Heatwave)...
