The best music is grown in California. Good In The Hood showcases the freshest crops of dedicated Bay Area musicians and sound engineers, each carving out their own personal piece of the musicsphere. Read up, listen, dance & tell your friends.

A new-to-CYV feature, we have an SF | LA wrecking crew comprised of Sinjin & Phil T, together they are Megalodon and the pair have been invading both US cities & UK airwaves for years. Goblin Shark is their newest contribution to the what is now an extraordinarily far reaching fan base. Sought after both across the pond and in our own backyards, it seems no one can get enough of the boy’s crushing sounds. The duo shatter stereotypes of American dubstep which is often considered notoriously over-the-top. Loyal fans push Megalodon to reach extraordinary heights. With plays and rewinds by dubstep icons Skream, Benga, N-Type, we couldn’t go any longer without at least doing a quick writeup and saying big ups. Support local artists!

You already know a diligent CYV blogger wouldn’t waste this opportunity to ask one of his earliest dubstep heroes a few questions. Nothing major, this wasn’t an interview, but I did learn a thing or two. When asked what it was like touring the country, doing it big, seeing all the sights, he commented:

“It’s weird, but fun. When I tell people what I do they either assume I live in my mother’s basement and smoke too much, or that I’m someone famous. It’s strange there is no middle ground.”

If any one of you fine folks caught his recent SF appearance for Night Light Riot you got to witness the Minnesota badman bring down some major fire and brimstone. A set bolstered to the brim with rattling bangers & merciless melodies, Vaski shook the Black Door to the core.

His wild-child style is spliced with a humility & realness that is always appreciated among artists. The dood really just cut it up with me the whole car ride back. Support Vaski music.

Chuckie – Who Is Ready To Jump (Dillon Francis Remix) by DILLONFRANCIS

Hijack is doing it right as usual. Today he brings us a brand new beat under the awesome Busta Rhymes sample he used previously in a collaboration with Santiago & Bushido. He titles the track “Pudding,” a potential obfuscation of the words in the sample (puttin’ it = pudding it), and uses a photo of Bill Cosby eating some kind of Jell-O pudding product as the artwork for the song. What more could we ask for?

A special treat are the pleasantly panned grinding gremlin sounds that enter at both 1:47 and 3:50.

I’d like to take a moment to speak with you about a musician who, surprisingly enough, has never been featured on CYV™ | CHW YR VTMNS before. Someone truly remarkable. A Swede-turned-Brit named Peo de Pitte who takes his beats with extra cream.

Fusing house, electro, breaks, and a trace of hip hop into unquestionable dancefloor gold, Peo has earnestly worked his way to clubland notoriety. He meticulously crafts tracks that could just as easily be heard in the DJ sets of heavy hitters like Benny Benassi and Laidback Luke as in the more underground world of fidget and breaks.

Peo puts a heavy focus on his mixdowns, which means when you hear that Peo sound on a festival-size system, you will be experiencing a top-of-the-line brain-vasion.

Please check out…

• Peo de Pitte’s new original, “Who Do You Love?” – which has been blasted across the blogosphere over the last few weeks. In this song a man’s voice confronts you with two very direct questions about your life. These questions quickly lose their urgency when Peo slaps you with a baby-powdered palm of wonk to the face.

• His Jay Robinson remix, a thumping peak-hour earthquake of a beat that could raise any nation’s security level to red.

• And his latest remix, uploaded a few days ago: Peo’s take on disco…

And of course I can’t leave out his two most well-known songs to date: “Burning Up” and his “Riverside” remix.

You’ll also want this melodic bass storm, which is one of the handful of free downloads posted on Peo de Pitte’s Soundcloud page.

The best music is grown in California. Good In The Hood showcases the freshest crops of dedicated Bay Area musicians and sound engineers, each carving out their own personal piece of the musicsphere. They may be young, new, and still deciding who they want to be, but the point is someday we feel they will figure it out and it will be epic. Till then, read up, listen up, dance and tell your friends.

Dynamics

Let’s talk about sexy. Let’s talk about silky, sweet seduction. Turn down the “in your face” and turn up the “on your knees.” The genres and sub-genres spanning Indie Electro, Disco House & beyond are almost like the romance languages of dance music. Their masters are few and far between. Artists like A-Trak, AC Slater, and Treasure Fingers are able to wield their sounds properly so that even the most resistant recipient won’t be able to avoid feeling coy, happy, and lustful. We are no stranger to San Francisco talent here at CYV so it shouldn’t surprise you that our latest disco fix is provided by Dynamics, a pair of genuine boogie aficionados; we often see them alongside SF nightlife favorites Realboy or performing at the famed Our House Records events. In a sea of newly minted DJ BRO’s mashing Beatport’s Top 100 Dubstep / Electro charts, this duo is stepping way outside the box & turning it into a damn disco ball.
