Dubstep. Grime. Ghettotech. Mashup.

[view flyer here]

The dancefloor is getting NASTY March 16th.
That's right, Scuba, head of the revered dubstep &
breakstep label Hotflush, is hitting LA with a ton of
bass weight! With his labels and productions currently
setting the scene on fire, SoCal is in for a treat of
massive proportions..

Joining this badman on the bill are the city's finest.
The Glitch Mob serves up a mean dish of crunk/mashup
flavors.. plus something I know all you dub souljas will
appreciate... heavy, heavy BASS. they've been tearing it up
all over the place lately.. just have a look at their
calendar!!

then there's Baseck who has told me he plans on
putting the breakcore on hold for a ruff 'n' grimey set...
oh my.

Ricky Def and I (Staypuft DJ) are taking
special precautions to break every rule in the book... TLC &
Benga? R Kelly & Oris Jay? Loefah & Ready for the World?
Distance & Dixie Chicks??!? hearing is believing...

and if you know SMOG at all you know DJ Unit and how
he throws down. serious high energy business.

links ahoy:
SCUBA
GLITCH MOB
BASECK
STAYPUFT DJ
DJ UNIT

the sounds will be running deep for the entirety of the
evening! best you don't miss out..

You lucky devils, that sounds like it'll be superb. Hope
your soundsystem is up to it ;)

Ready for the World's "Oh Shelia" is one of my favourite
songs ever, so I hope you haven't fucked it up (in a bad
way).

Minimal techno meets UK Garage meets dark ambient meets dnb
meets dub.

As to defining it, it's pretty difficult, it's one of the
most diverse genres I've come across, which considering how
young it is, is incredible. Best thing would be to check out
some dubstep tracks and work it out for yourself.

Must hear tracks:

Kromestar - Surgery
Pinch - Qawwali
DJ Distance - Fallen
Burial - Night Train
Skream - Midnight Request Line

Less anthemic and from lesser known artists, but also some
of my personal favourites are:

Matty G - Bitter Love
Geiom - Feel so bad
Scarecrow - Taken
Monkeysteak - Lighthouse Dub

Done well, it achieves that most rare of qualities; rinsin'
on a big soundsystem and worth listening to at home too.

NB: If you don't have a half decent sub on your machine,
listen to it on decent headphones, or you probably won't
hear the bass at all. Please don't be one of these saps who
listens to a few tracks on laptop speakers and then writes
off the whole genre. ;)
