Sach O: Skream – Freeizm Vol 1-2

With a fevered-pitch buzz surrounding his upcoming sophomore album and the debut of his Magnetic Man super group (seen above starring in a Men in Black reboot), Dubstep icon Skream found the time to bless his twitter followers with a couple of free releases modeled after his now legendary “Skreamizm” EPs for Tempa. I guess… Continue reading »

Sach O: Wiley unleashes 200+ Dubs on the unsuspecting Internet

While Dubstep producers are known for being stingy with the goods and incredibly protective of their intellectual property online (fair enough), Grime material has floated about more freely, at least since the genre moved towards the mixtape as a its main form of distribution. Still, it’s not every day that genre-originator Wiley drops 10+ zip… Continue reading »

Question in the Form of An Answer: Mix Master Mike

  By the time you read this, Jeff will be entrenched in the madness that is the All Good festival. Whether it will be All Good remains to be seen and will be likely determined by the amount of illicit substances obtainable prior to sets by George Clinton, Femi Kuti, and Furthur. Thankfully, Matt Shea,… Continue reading »

Question in the Form of An Answer: Spectrals

Aaron Matthews was last seen in Latvia, selling black market bootlegs of Phil Spector B-Sides and scheming to become mayor of Riga.  If you know the roots of alternative rock, it’s easy to see that the current revival of 50s/60s rock n roll and girl group sounds is nothing new. Beat Happening were warping leather… Continue reading »

DITDC – Bass Music Singles of the Half Year (Pt 2)

Part 2 brought to you by Son Raw and the healthy looking folks at DMZ. 10 – Doctor P – Sweet Shop (Circus) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FecZ_nodIPc Much to the anger of purists, Doctor P’s Sweetshop finally removed any trace of bass from genre’s mutating, squelchy synth leads, transforming what was once “wobble” into pure screeching aggression. Paired… Continue reading »

Douglas Martin’s Dirty Shoes: King of the Beach is Dead, Long Live the King

All Douglas Martin has to say about it is, “Asphinctersayswhat”. In many ways, Nathan Williams of Wavves was one of the first major victims of the hyper-accelerated career cycle sparked by indie-rock’s blog age. Releasing a cassette in 2008 through Woodsist subsidiary Fuck It Tapes, Wavves was christened as a breath of fresh air by… Continue reading »

Dungen – Marken Låg Stilla

I love the Tame Impala record, but let’s be honest with ourselves: they’re essentially a poor man’s Dungen fronted by a guy with an uncanny vocal resemblance to John Lennon on “Tomorrow Never Knows.” I suspect they’ll evolve into something truly singular one day, but in the meantime, we have Gustav Ejstes, who is clearly… Continue reading »

DITDC – Bass Music Singles of the Half Year (Pt 1)

Because I can no longer focus on pieces of music longer than 6 minutes or deal with rappers who didn’t come up in the 90′s. Also because I hate straight edge people, anything with a narrative arc and guitars but love beats and try to leave my computer as much as humanly possible. Youtube links… Continue reading »

E-40 ft. 50 Cent & Too Short – “Bitch Remix”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je8K_hCej3s The El-P remix of Justin Bieber has caused me to squander valuable time deliberating which unlikely combination and sampled “Bitch” hook is superior. As this is the Internet, people will pretend that it is not a legitimate question, but it is. There is no way that a Too Short, E-40, and 50 Cent album… Continue reading »

El-P Kills Justin Bieber

Image via XLR8R El-P utilizing McCartney’s “Live and Let Die” to remix Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” to create the most expensive song to legally clear of all-time. Earlier drafts surely included samples of “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and “Vogue.” This song’s existence is owed to a Twitter in-joke between El-P and XLR8R magazine, involving the Beebs and… Continue reading »
