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.

Now entering center stage is Chubby Dubz aka Oliver $ and Gene Siewing.

After a chart topping year in 2011, where Oliver $’s ‘Doin’ Ya Thang’ on Jesse Rose’s ‘Play It Down’ label was the No.1 charted track on Beatport in 2011 (plus it was the No.1 charted track of all time on Resident Advisor), Gene & Oliver approached loungin’ recordings as the home for their brand new Chubby Dubz album project.

Chubby Dubz background and origins combine all manors of influences, as Oliver is native to Germany and Gene to the US. With this chemistry comes a fusion of minds that produces great house music with enough musical soul to have real longevity whilst still keeping the dance floors moving in the best clubs throughout the world. With releases on labels such as Om Records, Appeal Music and Undertones their unique style of house is enjoying great success throughout the world as all the major heads in house music are revelling in deep house currently. The result of this is that the music of Chubby Dubz is being widely championed by everyone from Ricardo Vilalobos, Baby Ford to DJ Rolando and Doc Martin, to name a few.

The Album Sampler #1 is as the name suggests, the first teaser release of 4, from the self-titled Chubby Dubz album due out on loungin’ later this year. All the 12”s will feature full length versions of the album tracks crafted especially for the dancefloor, plus remixes by key players from the loungin’ fold and even some very special guests!

(Dear Soundcloud: This new HTML5 player is dope. Sincerely, Oh My!)

With the resurgence of deep house spreading across the globe, this release will be sure to hit the mark combining productions that one could be fooled into thinking came from the likes of Ron Trent or Chez Damier. To complete the package is an Art Bleek remix of the title track; Direct Experience, delivering a late night groover that will be sure to find favor with the headz.

To the weekend warriors, the nightlife ninjas, and the curbside crawlers, we are with you all the way.

Here at CYV we encourage herbal remedies, Bloody Marys, and of course a daily dose of slap to aide all the aches, bumps, and bruises collected over your weekend.

It’s simple: Save Sunday is five songs, one mixtape, easy to play, easy to repeat, and of course download links provided for mobile enjoyment. All sounds get love so expect to find everything from booms to bangs.

Sundays never looked so good.

“Back! Sorry for the pause, school started. This week it’s deeper dubstep with some throwbacks mixed in. Enjoy! “- joseph

Monstrous feel-good bass is in the house today courtesy of Italian “turbofunk” pushers, Reset! Check out the “turbofunk” version of their new track “Don’t Let the System Control You,” a grinding, fidgetty funk-out that aims to remind people to exercise their free will, or… stick it to the man… or something.

While you’re at it, it’d also behoove you to catch a few measures of another truly funky chune, Reset!’s collab with Birdee entitled “Blowin’ Up.” And I hope Reset! & Birdee do blow up because they’ve seriously got it goin’ on!

View and purchase music from Reset! on Beatport here.

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.

Last Week my single ‘So Sweet’ was released with a wopping 10 remixes from a bunch of fresh talent providing styles of house and electro. Unfortunately due to a hick up, not all tracks released were mastered, but never fear….this actually works out better for you guys. Quality masters of the remixes by Jack Union royalty ‘Campbell‘ and rising star ‘Kunter:Bunt‘ have been now been provided for free download on their sound clouds.
