Jay-Z and Kanye West sample Flux Pavillion

In case you haven’t heard it, the two biggest rap stars in the world have sampled one of the biggest names in dubstep for their latest release, titled “Watch The Throne”. I’ve pretty much stopped giving a shit what rappers have to say any more, especially when their rapping over a bear that has a sample utilized just because dubstep is “hot”... Read More

Skream mix for Resident Advisor

The latest mix in Resident Advisor’s podcast series comes from dubstep’s poster child Skream. Skream has really been the face of dubstep since his 2005 hit “Midnight Request Line” got a lot of people interested in what dubstep was. This role has been redefined and reaffirmed with the commercial success of Magnetic Man, who, along with Benga and Artwork, were... Read More

Review: Bass005 – I.D. ‘Once Again’

The Bass Music label’s 5th release starts with the breaks smasher “Once Again”, who’s distorted bassline and driving drums seem to nod at classic Zed Bias productions. The remix from Flore sounds like it could have been released via Mad Decent, with it’s marching band drum line and electro synths, it’s definitely moving a lot of ass when this... Read More

Machinedrum – Sacred Frequency EP

Starting out with IDM and glitch infused hiphop and now evolving into what he is today, Machinedrum is a bit of a chameleon when it comes to producing bass music. The success of the Sepalcure project has propelled his name into the minds of a new audience within the garage and post-dubstep scene, but he’s also managed to carve out a special space in the juke movement that’s... Read More

Simon/Off – Let It Go / In Circles

Austrian producer Simon/Off’s fourth release out now on Haunted Audio features his unique and timeless style of bass music. “Let It Go’s” breakbeats morph around beautiful house vocals to create an instantly classic peak hour tune. “In Circles” is a hybrid house/UK funky rhythm, but twisted through future garage and dubstep basslines and syncopated... Read More

Little Dragon

This band is one my new favorites! I’d heard their music stylings before, via their work with the Gorillaz, but seeing them live earlier this year in Orlando was a sheer thrill. Their third album is due this summer. They might sound familiar, as Swedish-Japanese singer Yukimi Nagano has worked with electronic jazz duo Koop, DJ Andreas Saag’s Swell Season, and Swedish... Read More
