Three remixes for you to listen to while I dig for something more interesting to post haha. This could be the start of something new (random mix day haha)? If you like this blog and some of the tunes you hear then please comment and help spread it. Also if you have stuff to recommend then hook it up!

less than one week until chase & status @ circa

check here for show details

and here for music

I know its been a few days since the show but i have been busy haha. First off, it was a great show. They played all of their massive tunes and a couple of wonderful surprises. The sound was a little disappointing but from what I know Circa just got a newish sound system and they needed to work some kinks out of it. A “source” told me that the sound could have been fixed in a couple of minutes but that would have meant stopping the jams… and we all know what happens then (hint: no music = fail). I was a little surprised that only half of Chase and Status were there, specifically the Chase half haha but I don’t think it really matters much for this kind of show. I was pleased to hear a little bit of dubstep thrown into the mix but it wasn’t on for long enough haha. I also enjoyed the tracks from Rusko, Noisia, TC, Caspa etc.

A lot of people hate on MC’s at dnb shows but to be honest they do a heck of a job working up the crowd and I don’t care what anyone else says. Much respect to the MC’s (please stop with the “smack it” though!)

At the very end of the set Chase dropped a siiiiick surprise. If you were there then you know what I am talking about and if not then take a little peep here. It isnt the best quality but you get the idea. Also i can see myself lulz.

All in all it was a ridiculous night and I very much enjoyed Lush, Chase & Status and Marcus Visionary. Looking forward to seeing them again.

One Last Video here but it isnt from the same show…

p.s. circa had the most intense searches before a show that i have ever been too haha

Are you a Rusko fan? You should be. The dubstep “don” has some fresh new tunes out and you can check them out here

If you are interested in learning how to make dubstep yourself then who better to learn from than Rusko himself! Check out his lessons here 1 2 3 4

At first I wasn’t going to post anything about MJ seeing as we have all heard about it by now through twitter/facebook/etc. but I just saw this dubstep MJ mix and I felt like I should post it haha. So much for avoiding MJ stuff here.

This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the “Amen Break,” a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music — a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures.

Just got sent this track and thought i should pass it on. It reminds me of an old knight rider re-mix from back in the day but my memory escapes me on who it was.

Lots of great shows coming to the GTA over the next couple of months. First one that you should check out is Benga.

This past week on “In new DJ’s We Trust” Alex Metric took to the decks again to spin his ecclectic mix of punk, pop, indie-techno goodness. The guest on this installment of the show was ZootWoman who spun a selection of tunes from their influences and heroes and at the very end of his show he also played Adam Freelands new remix of Metric’s track “sympathy”. I had heard about this remix for a while but this is the first time I have had the chance to listen to it.
