As a rainstorm nears the city of San Francisco, the best thing to do to enhance your weekend is to throw on Worthy’s new EP, out on his own digital imprint Anabatic Records. The “So Sunkin” EP is rain music at its best.

For tonight, designate “Brill” as the soundtrack for your soirée. “Brill” drives home the import of Worthy’s three favorite words: West Coast Bass. A creepy but playful descending ladder riff and an ambiguous but soothing vox loop guide us smoothly towards the unveiling of a minimalistic – and of course super gangsta – “future house”/tech beat.

Meanwhile, “So Sunkin” is best for tomorrow morning. Existing in a sonic environment akin to that of “Brill,” “So Sunkin” confronts us with an undeniably sweeter side of bass music… a hopeful nostalgia that’ll guarantee you a calm morning wakefulness.

Join Worthy and Anabatic Records on Facebook and catch him live at Mezzanine on May 10th with Claude Vonstroke, Justin Martin, Julio Bashmore, French Fries, Eats Everything, J. Phlip, Catz & Dogz and Leroy Peppers.

One day, I made a friend on Soundcloud. His name was Jai Davu and he lived in Vancouver. It turned out his mixing was dope and his style was just what I wanted to hear. Check out this beautiful ensemble of “evil electro/fidget madness,” which includes one of my favorite pieces by our very own Rubberteeth!

I recently had the huge honor of opening up the main stage at Insomniac’s Audiotistic Festival this July. It was a ridiculous experience and really just made me want to get back on a sound system that fat as soon as humanly possible. To commemorate the occasion, I am releasing my “Audiotistic 2011 Mix” for you to bump in your car, on the bus, or at a calm luncheon or dinner party.

Grinding fidget madness with traces of jackin’, tech and disco.

Just got wind of this compilation release from Bone Idle Records! Such heavy-hitting stuff, my favorite cuts being from Byron Fortune, Azverento, Sean Taylor and Schenk. P.S. I think Azverento really likes Hijack.

Here’s the official word from Bone Idle:

“We got a fantastic compilation album to round up August for you. Bone Idle has been collecting some awesome one off tracks and we decided to showcase them all on our first compilation of the year. We aimed to bring you a collection of sub focused jacked up tunes, and we think we did pretty damn good! There’s some new faces such as J Fader, Dizzy K, Sepehr & Applefly and some familiar ones with Schenk, Sean Taylor and Azverento. 9 tracks of wonderful bass. Help your ears and take a listen.”
