Son Raw can’t be bought in cash. Maybe in strippers. For those who aren’t keen on my EDM writing, perhaps my close association with Hesk through ventures such as Project Sundays might seem like a conflict of interest – writers shouldn’t be dallying with artists and the such. Insiders will be quick to attest however… Continue reading »

Son Raw: Addison Groove – Sooperlooper

Son Raw is basking in the afterglow of Mala’s live set last night at Igloofest. Soundcloud snippets don’t usually warrant posts around here but Addison Groove’s upcoming release on Modeselektor’s 50 Weapons label isn’t your usual release. As one of the few producers working in England equally adept at deep, sci-fi influenced Dubstep as he… Continue reading »

Sach O: +Bongiovanni+ – The Boy is Mine (Juke Bootleg)

Sach O is a fan of The Booty Bakery It’s very hard to impress me with chopped up R&B vocals in 2012 and yet, here we are. I have to admit I was skeptical: 90s R&B is trendy, Juke is trendy and the name +Bongiovanni+ lands closer to a designer Kanye would name-drop than I… Continue reading »

Sach O: Who da Coldest NYE – The Promo Video

Sach O is the East Coast promoter man. Flyer on the sidebar aside, I haven’t been promoting Who Da Coldest NYE too hard on this site. This is out of respect for Jeff Weiss’ baby but mostly because studies show that none of you guys both live in Montreal AND come out to raves. And… Continue reading »

Sach O: Throwing Snow – Too Polite

Sach OoooOOOooOO is forming a darkwave band. We’ve already handed in our year-end ballots so I’m calling it: first great single of the 2012 musical year. Opening with a Blockhead/DJ Shadow style psych-folk sample before a crunching guitar breakdown (!!!) leads into a Jungle-Juke workout, this is some Heart of Darkness voodoo shit right here.… Continue reading »

Sach O: Who da Coldest?

Son Raw is going to get ravey As mentioned in this morning post, I’m in promo mode these days – kissing hands, shaking babies and generally spreading the word about my various endeavors to the offline massive – you know, in da streets never industry. It’s been a rousing success so far, something I attribute… Continue reading »

Sach O: Ghettoteknitianz

AllSachOdoizsmoketreez. Footwork is strange stuff. I’ve seen it clear floors but I’ve also seen girls go crazy for it. Often times, it comes down to whether the DJ has a genuine feel for the genre, an all too rare occasion at a time when every other trainspotter is adopting Juke for purposes of fashion. In… Continue reading »

Sach O: Leatherface’s Nightmare Juke Squad

Son Raw needs a dope DJ crew name. Suggestions? Don’t worry: this isn’t Footwoork mixed with dodgy Dubstep sounds…it’s just Footwork. While I’m not entirely sold on the iconography, Paris producer Leatherface’s take on the once-emerging-now-red-hot Footwork sound is proof that the subgenre is mutating and developing just as fast outside of Chicago as in… Continue reading »

Sach O: Machinedrum – Room(S)

Sach O needs a vacation from his vacation It’s August and Jeff knows what that means: it’s the time of year where I fuck off to some semi-exotic location to indulge in loud beats and loose women, leaving him to handle site biz on his own – not that you’d notice this time thanks to… Continue reading »

Son Raw @ DJWeb.TV

Son Raw could have probably done a bit more for the camera. As usual, I’m loathe to use this site for personal gain but this is pretty cool: see that video up there? That’s a stream of my performance last night on DJWeb.TV’s Beat Freakz show complete with trippy psychedelic effects and transitions. A-live-in-the-studio recording… Continue reading »
