DJ Class // Smash Gordon // Mark Instinct - Tear The Club Up 2099

TEAR THE CLUB UP 2099 - DJ CLASS - SMASH GORDON - MARK INSTINCT by SMASH GORDON - SUBHUMAN

This is commercial dubstep, I mean really, really, commercial. To be honest, I normally wouldn't post up about this kind of stuff, but I have a weakness for Baltimore Club and this is a remake of the "Tear The Club Up". I've heard the original a bunch of times on a Tittsworth mix or somewhere like that. It's booty-shaking roller-skating birthday party anthem. A total club bangin' dance floor killer.

The dubstep refix, is actually not horrible. I hear some Flux Pavillion/ Doctor P type influences, and a basic rave-up approach that's very broadly commercial. There's nothing too heavy or filthy about it and it certainly isn't deep. It's top-end is a bit too crisp for my tastes and a bit much on the chirpy whistle noises. I mean if Funkmaster Flex were to do dubstep, he'd probably do it like this. It kind of reminds me of when Adam F returned back to drum n bass with Breakbeat Kaos after spending years producing hip-hop and all of sudden had this really cleaned up sound. It's certainly better than the G-step shit from Snoop-Dog and Battle Cat. So yeah, I hate to admit it but this tune kinda works. I'll be interested to see what else comes out of Smash Gordon and crew.

Love this...only regret is that it didn't last long enough for the breaks to kick in. Reminded me of a sick mix that Zed's Dead dropped on DJ Plastician's RinseFM show during the summer (they were touring the UK)...check it here:

That Zed's Dead mix is pretty sick, now I'm bummed that I missed seeing him this summer at Dubtroit when I was in LA.
