One more thing! Go vote for them on Wobbleland’s FaceBook so they bring them to Nor Cal in the Spring! Last year Wobbleland had Skrillex, Nero, Datsik, and 12th Planet and was probably the most fun dubstep show I have EVER been to. GO! GO!
Got probably the most exciting press email I’ve ever gotten yesterday. Anyone who’s been following our recent posts on these guys knows about our unconditional love for Knife Party. I got to have a taste test of the two unreleased tracks, ‘Destroy Them With Lazers’ and ‘Fire Hive,’ and all I can say is that surpassed any and all high expectations I had already set. Pretty sure these guys have found their niche. Check out the teaser, along with some fun facts and tracks they’ve previously released!

The w0bblin’ Jack Beats are back sending their love from the UK in the form of a new original track. Their last release, a remix of Beyonce’s ‘Countdown,’ left me pretty disappointed, which I’m not accustomed to dealing with when it comes to them. This track thumps though, with a little rougher sound than their usual wob. They’ll be supporting Fatboy Slim for a few days in the UK in December so keep an eye out for that if you’re on that side of the pond. The End of Love EP drops December 5th with some added remix action.

So I’ve been trying my best to deal with this Wi-Fi that’s shittier than a Coachella porta-potty and just got a hold of some semi-reliable internets. Excuse the hiatus of beats and rhymes but throw on yer good headphones.
Bassex is quickly becoming one of my favorite dubstep producers. Here he takes Wolfgang’s ‘The Champ’ and dubstep-erizes it. Wolfgang’s sound is only a few steps away from dubstep and I wouldn’t be mad to hear more remixes like this.
Unreleased track from Pac Div, featuring Asher Roth. The rattlin’ bass sounds like something Chuck Inglish cooked up in the kitchen. Like, Mibbs, and BeYoung deliver solid punchlines with the added effect of an audience on the beat. Asher goes in as he has been lately — haven’t really heard a verse I don’t like from him in a while. Hatin is useless.
These two collaborating is probably pretty bad for the ozone layer. Emission levels of filth pretty high. They take the intro to La Di Da Di and twist it around Bassnectar‘s signature rhythmic basslines and Datsik‘s thizz-face inducing w0mp. Nicely blended.
This is the first release of the much anticipated Re:generation project. Skrillex and The Doors get together to fuse eras here as the first of many artists from different time periods collaborating. I think they did a pretty damn good job of utilizing the common themes/sound between rock and dubstep. Skrillex crafts his thumping bassline with some guitar work and vocal snippets from who I believe to be Jim Morrisson. I could be 100% fucking that up though. One of the best Skrillex releases this year IMO.
The homies Gooffee released another jam yesterday and it’s a good’un. Samples Ram Jam’s “Black Betty” which interestingly works really well. They’ve got the whole moombah-dub-core-whateverthefuck down pat. You’re able to groove and get down and dirty at the same time. Check out the video interview we did with them a little while back.

OMFG KNIFE PARTY IS THE BANE OF WHY THE WORLD HATES AMERICAN DUBSTEP AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH THAT IM HOLDING SHIFT WHILE I TYPE THIS INSTEAD OF CAPS LOCKING LIKE A PUSSY. KNIFE PARTY COME TO SOCAL SO WE CAN DANCE TOGETHER.

The homie Skinny Genes started his weekly YOLO Lists with the intention to open your minds and ears to every genre of music — the idea being that life’s too short to hate on a type of music until you realize that you actually enjoy it. So when artists from different ends of the spectrum come together in harmonious musical innovation, it makes the process much easier for us. Recently, the trend has been combining hip-hop and different paces of electro; producers see it as a logical gap to forge together the two most popular genres. There’s parts of both that agree thematically with a grungy DIY feel. Both are not apprehensive about hard hitting drums. With a few exceptions (HoVeezy/ChiddyBang), it’s been low-key MCs trying to make a name and using the concept as a niche. But a few songs have been released over the past week with legitimate names in the game (not Sam Adams) that’s led to giving it further thought. Of the three, it’s most apparent to me that Joker‘s style meshes best with rhymes; I’ve yet to determine whether it’s a healthy relationship though. If you guys have any solid collabs that have pleased your ears drop em off in the comments prz. Is this a matrimony that needs a divorce or just some serious counseling? Don’t be shy with yer opinions.

Hello friends! It’s been a minute — I’m finally feeling somewhat settled out here in Barcelona and starting to think I may never return to the US. Beautiful women, amazing architecture, siestas, and an overflow of opportunities to see great electronic music. If they had animal fries out here that’d seal the deal. Anywho, more on the city later when I have some stuff to stimulate your ojos. For now your ears will have to take in the jams that have provided the soundtrack for the city. Hit the jump to hear ’em all. (more…)

Dubstep has been on a stratospheric trajectory since Rusko, Flux and Skrillex hit the scene, but I don’t consider overwhelming bass enjoyable all the time. In my opinion, good dub is a gentle balance between bass, groove and repetition. Well I found someone whose doin it right. He’s one of those annoying kids who already achieved so much by age 18 that you start questioning your own empty wanderings. He was swiftly signed to Universal records; one of the largest global major labels and now, Joker is 22 and a recognizable icon in the British dub circuit.
