Skream - Glastonbury Live 06-26-10


Courtesy BBC Radio 1 and GetDarker.com Skream tears Glastonbury a new one. Lot's of crowd noise on the recording but it just goes to show you the power of a live gig. Again we see the welcomed blend of dubstep and crack house, which Skream rarely does on Rinse FM. I'm stoked to see this happening on a more regular basis. To me it's all just bass music really, so it's nice to see the border collapse a bit. Anyways this set is a full-on face melter, with several exclusive dubs detonating the dance floor. Crowd is wild, especially on "In for the Kill" LaRoux remix, sent shivers down my spine, wish I was there. No TL.

MRK1 - GetDarkerTV 052



MRK1 - GetDarkerTV 052

This mix is ridiculously off the hook. Straight hot mixed bangers, all the way thru. No TL, but fucking download it. Plenty of dubs mixed in with the hits. Double drops and teases galore, and even dips into some crazy-ass crack house. GetDarker killing it recently.

Bassnectar- Massive Attack Bootleg Remix



Bassnectar- Massive Attack Bootleg Remix Check it out, a little bit of west coast nerdcore glitch-hop for you. It's actually not super glitchy, but you know what I mean, it's over processed. Shit gets hot around the 2 minute mark. Gotta love that whiny gangster b-line. Bassnectar come correct as usual.

Skream presents… Freeizm Vol.1



Skream presents… Freeizm Vol.1

1. Pitfall
2. Minimool
3. Robin S – Show Me Love (Skreamix)
4. The Dead Weather – Cut Like A Buffalo (Skreamix)

It's been all over the blogs this morning, Skream releasing a small free EP just before his "Outside The Box" LP comes out. Thanks to You Dun Know, I finally got an actual link that's not an embed. BRAP! The Dead Weather remix is the true win here, but I do like me the grinding bass of Pitfall as well. Swing over the pond of gators and jump over quicksand into 8 bit glory! Robin S remix is purely a down-tuned suicidal dirge (granted the last few minutes get silly). Man, Skream bringing back the big melancholy sounds on this. Minimool is a self described mimimal tune for the chill out room. Anyways big ups to Skream for some quality freebies, the new album looks like it's going to be massive, you all should cop it when it comes out. Tempa will release Skream's Outside the Box on July 26th, 2010.

Redlight feat Roses Gabor - Stupid Video



This one slipped past me, it was posted back up in April. I loved this tune every since I've heard Zinc drop it on Rinse in instrumental form. I'm well feeling the vocal mix as well, which is a rarity I must admit. This video has a african voodoo witch doctor night club vibe, and feature lots of glow-in-the dark body paint. Reminds me of some Hype Williams Busta Rhymes/ Missy Elliot vids, minus the fisheye lens and slightly less cheesy. Anyways good fun, check it out.

Dilinja - Breezeblock Mix



It's been a hot minute since i brocked out to some new Dillinja, I'm well over due. This mix is about a week old, and I'm not even the sure if the photo is Dillinja or not, as I ganked it off the VLV site. Anyways, it's mentasms and distorted 808's at their best. For some reason he still likes those light airy vocals, which always leaves me puzzled. But it wouldn't be Dillinja otherwise. Enjoy this quick little 28 minute mix.

Dilinja - Breezeblock Mix

Dillinja – ‘In The Grind VIP’
Dillinja – ‘Hard Noize’
Craggz & Parallel Forces – ‘Fizzy Piglets (TC Vocal VIP)’
Dillinja – ‘All The Things VIP / Remix’
??? – ???
Digital – ‘Sound Killer’
TC – ‘Let’s Go’ (Ft. MC Jakes)
Dillinja – ‘96 Thing’
Dillinja – Basscone

DJ SOLO - Hated in the Nation



Interesting idea from this DJ Solo character from Chicago. IMO too much vocal takeovers on here, I could really do with a bit smaller chunks of that, but this is at very least an interesting listen and a different take on the typical mash-up mixes. Give it a crack:

I've only been listening 3 years or so, but congrats!! Definitely educated me on lot of bass driven music. I don't think I'd be as into dubstep, grime, and crack house like am I today if it wasn't for this station.

SUBFIX MASSIVE





I've never heard Datsik Dj so this could be cool, or completely wack, kind of a toss-up really. I'm not feeling too much of the bro'ed out noise-step these days but it's cool to see a big electronic event take place at Metro and SmartBar at the same time. Makes it fell like one of the London super clubs that Chicago really never gets to see anymore (since Shelter closed way back in the day). I don't count shit Crobar since they never really played DNB or Dubstep there. Anyways here's the info:

Menno Fokma - Demo Reel w/ Dubstep

Menno Fokma / Reel 2010 from Menno Fokma on Vimeo.



Wicked motion graphics reels from Menno Fokma, Studio-Tact provided the glitch-step.

Now Timbaland thinks he invented dubstep...WTF?

Check out this article http://www.rwdmag.com/2010/06/just-in-timbaland-i-created-dubstep/

This unbelievable quote is found at the bottom:
And the last part of the press conference was even more insightful. “Well you know; I’m always over here,” Mr Mosely said to the question, ‘What do you think of the UK music scene?’ before continuing with a very debatable statement. “The UK scene… they’re always telling me that I started it. You have Dub-bass…” As he said that, George Lamb of T4 and son of Larry Lamb fame, interjected with ‘Dubstep?’ and Tim schooled him. “Yeah, dubstep but I call it dub-bass [as the room laugh]. It’s the bass that drives the music. It’s funny cos they went back to some of my old music that really created that sound and just, instead of going fast, they went slow with more bass. To me, I like it but they call it dubstep. I like how they dance to it now, it’s cool.”


Um, so you are telling me El-B and Horsepower were influenced by Timbaland? How about Skream, Benga, Mala, Coki? C'mon now, those dudes were clearly on a different tip. That's some arrogant displaced boasting and wishful thinking right there. Timba, shut up and let your music do the talking for you.

Big Ups to James for pointing this out to me.

Magnetic Man - Mad Free Mp3 Download

MAD by SKREAMIZM

Big gangsta step tune from the trio of Skream, Benga, and Artwork, aka Magnetic Man. It's got a groovy west-coast vibe, but still churns out a proper amount of UK Sludge. Good driving-late-at-night tune.
