(SAN FRANCISCO, USA)You are tried and tested warriors of the night.
Packed into the steaming corridors of 525 Harrison Street , otherwise known as ‘The Factory’, masses of party monsters rioted & raved till the early morning. The line crept around the venue as thousands journeyed to take part in arguably the largest and most anticipated Dubstep massive in San Francisco’s history, WOBBLELAND. Performances from industry heavyweights Nero, Skrillex, Datsik, 12th Planet, Jakwob, and Kastle shook enthralled recipients from head to toe. Participants can thank VITAL SC for releasing a filthy, neon Armageddon upon an ecstatic, hot & sweaty audience.
Enough flashbacks, for everyone who bore testament to the following moments at Wobbleland, close your eyes and listen. For everyone else, close your eyes and drool.
First off, biggups to Gosia Herman of Disocbelle Records for contacting us with information about this release. We are huge Dirtybird / Jackmode fans over here at CYV™ so I am SO excited to talk to you about Worthy’s latest peak-time perm-jacker.
Discobelle’s new release from San Francisco’s Worthy is a percolating tech-house ass shaker infused with enough oomph to make you sweat until you’ve messed up your hair. An infectious vocal sample and an uncontainable bubbling vibe makes this track some really prime jacked up tech-house.
Accompanying the original, we’ve got three great remixes to round out the package from Worthy – Harvard Bass, Renaissance Man and Femme En Fourrure. First up, Harvard Bass gives a chunky, infectious bruiser that strikes a perfect balance between the deeper dancefloors and the uncontrollable, messier ones. Then, architects-turned-house-music-innovators Renaissance Man turn Worthy’s track into a sparse and icy percussive techno journey, continuing to push house music to deeper, stranger places. Finally and also from Helsinki, Femme En Fourrure choose to let things simmer a bit with a druggy pulse and some signature female vocals evoking Laura Palmer’s from Twin Peaks if she was making dance music.
One of my broducers (I recently coined this term for all my ‘producer bros’) from Australia, Brent Nasternak, recently dropped a nice little techno/electro EP. Reminds me a bit of my earlier days getting into the music — the latter two tracks even seem to have a bit of an acid vibe to ‘em. The last tune on the EP, ‘Sketch’ is my favorite. The track bounces back between booming sub bass and acid stabs and really holds a strong techno flavor throughout. This guy makes all kinds of different music, so don’t hesitate to check out his soundcloud and see what he’s been up to!
Staring off 2011 right, Sketch Records drops it’s first dubstep EP. True to their founding ethos (to bring you the finest Electro, Fidget, Dubstep and Breaks) this one has been in the works for a while now, as Sketch Records has dedicated itself to dropping only the filthiest of beats.
French Dubstep supremo Mr Wesh opens fire on this release which can only be described as LETHAL! All these tunes are larger than life, bringing you a dash of evil rhythms and a heavy sprinkling of womp. Where’s mah dubstep crew at?
Got a sick bass-heavy garage stepper coming from Skinnz. And with Nas and Damian Marley on rhyme duty? This one’s a heater. Stutter step yer weave to this beast!
Ya’ll can pick up a free download off the soundcloud. Support Skinnz and that big bass yo! And on another note, I’d like to say thanks to those of you have been sending in music like this. It’s a genre that I don’t fully explore myself, so it’s been grand to just wake up to these treasures in the inbox. Keep ‘em comin!
The guys from bassmusicblog have been delivering some heavy stuff, release after release. They’ve recently release there first single of 2011, ‘V’s Up’, which is already out on Stamp! Beats. This is the 10th single from our ’12 singles over 12 months’ project (April 2010 – March 2011). The release has seen reviews from Mixmag (4/5) and DJ Mag (8/10) and great DJ reactions from Crookers, Drop The Lime, Bassline Smith, Tomb Crew and many more. Some solid break wobble in this latest tune — nice to see Heavyfeet putting some of the dirty dirty back in his music! Check it outtttt!
Also coming from bassmusicblog, I.D. recently sent us something a bit off his normal path. He’s taken a break from his usual bass-heavy productions to put together a wonderful mix of house and disco, starting off at the treacly depths of 98BPM and working it’s way on up from there. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I’m sure you will too!
