Son Raw could always eat another shrimp burrito. I get it. After chilling in LA with the homie Jeff, I’m forced to admit that Dubstep can only make so much sense in a city that rolls at a medically induced 85BPM tempo. Cruising Angeleno streets, Curren$y, Spaceghost, Kendrick, Lotus, those are the names one draws… Continue reading »

Sach O: On Skream, Dubstep and 2012

Sach O would like to shout out Dan Love and Zilla Rocca for that epic New Year’s Eve. Aaaaannnddd we’re back, I think. New Year’s Eve was truly excessive and so your friendly neighborhood Passion of the Weiss staff are still shaking off the cobwebs. Seriously, had the word “epic” not been appropriated by PBR… Continue reading »

Joker + Skream Bring (Tropical Fruit) “Skittles”

The dubstep of 04-07 has gone the way of rap made exactly a decade prior, but that doesn’t mean that it still can’t deliver a frozen rope smack to the nostrils. Hence, Joker and Skream form as Parma Violets (this is or will be a new Sativa strain?) to bring the candy-colored bass assault that… Continue reading »

Sach O: Skream – Exothermic Reaction

Sach O is dropping science, chemistry and possibly AP physics. The received narrative is that Exothermic Reaction is a fluke, a long promised dub from a producer with little left to offer, generously provided by Non Plus, a label with whom the true credit lies. I don’t buy it. Skream has been releasing quality tunes… Continue reading »

Son Raw: Skream vs. 112 – Sublemonavailable

Sach O: What the Game’s Been Missing. Not a fan of Valentine’s day, Mash-Ups or the latter day work of 112 but sometimes you gotta drop one for the ladies. This is an Ableton-recreated mash up of a blend from my set last night which pitted Croydon’s own Ollie Jones vs. Q, Mike, Slim &… Continue reading »

Sach O: Joe Nice, Bob Marley & Sunday Morning Stella

Sach O shouldn’t mix drinks. Even I who usually abhor the sporting life, am gearing up to watch the big game as soon as I ward off last night’s hangover but at the risk of being contrarian, I’ll avoid posting anything “Black and Yellow” related here lest I incur the wrath of Zeus. Besides, did… Continue reading »

Skream presents: The Freeizm Album

Sach O needs to figure out how this new site works. While most UKBass producers keep a hawk’s eye on our liberal attitude towards MP3 distribution (come on guys, a 192KBPS sample, please?), Skream just keeps on providing the free music himself. Released on Christmas day, the latest 13 track “Freeizm” album is proof positive… Continue reading »

Sach O: Return of the Stella Sessions

According to Skream, the Magnetic Man album is hitting #4 on the UK charts. While I can’t universally endorse anything that could potentially be embraced as Trance-Step, I will admit that a few of their tunes are guilty favorites and I hold no grudge against the group. If anyone’s going to make money pimping the… Continue reading »

Sach O: Skream – Outside the Box

Sach O will knock you out the box like skelly. Skream makes a lot of tunes. His weekly radio show with partner-in-crime Benga on pirate station Rinse FM isn’t just the place to hear the latest dubstep; it’s a clearinghouse and testing ground for the duo’s latest creations. Blink and you’ll miss them: most of… Continue reading »

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 »
