If Sach O’s chest ain’t rattlin, it ain’t happenin. My brain is completely shattered from what will go down as one of the most epic music related weekends of my life so far. N-Type absolutely murdered Montreal with an all-vinyl set to an absolutely riotous crowd, I confirmed a couple of big DJ bookings which […]

Sach O speaks in slang like that. A London rap song about London rap slang probably won’t get much traction around these parts but since the Hip-Hop internet has collectively decided to give Waka a pass based on energy and/or swag, perhaps they’ll do the same for P-Money who absolutely rips this one to pieces. […]

Sach O can’t go on together…with suspicious minds! Ignore the mugshot/album cover, N-Type is one funny dude. How funny? Funny enough to use a week’s hour and half of Rinse FM airtime to play nothing but 70’s and 80’s pop tunes back in October. From “Red Red Wine” to more obscure boogie funk, dude goes […]

Sach O had a really good joke lined up involving your mom’s “girl unit” but decided against it. Reinvention is inevitable: musical styles get swallowed whole by the passage of time and are spit up half-digested in wholly unique ways. Think of James Brown’s drums revamped as the backing for a thousand Hip-Hop classics or […]

It’s A Vandal Ting! Deep Dubstep And Dark Funk by Son Raw on Mixcloud  Sach O’s evil twin Son Raw has no respect for property values. Oh yeah, you didn’t think it was over, did you motherfuckers? You didn’t think you could get through another season without Son Raw dropping some more bassweight on all […]

Sach O travels the untrodden path. Fair warning: I will not shut up about LHF. Though I don’t have any particularly pertinent new information to add to my last write-up of the crew, I feel compelled to simply repeat my previous overarching points (only LOUDER). These guys are making some of the most exciting music […]

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 […]

Let it not be said that The Bug doesn’t wring every bit of life out of his productions. Going on 3 years since London Zoo, the riddims on that album are still paying dividends, probably because none of Kevin Martin’s aggro-minded Dubstep followers have been able to surpass the blend of darkness, anger and rudebwoy […]

My horrible puns aside, Appleblim’s impact on Dubstep and bass music over the past few years has been immeasurable. While former Skull Disco partner Shackleton got the techno love and Villalobos remixes, Appleblim veered a course towards looser, funkier and slightly lighter terrain planting him firmly in bass music’s sonic center. Think of them as […]

Best remembered by North-Americans as one of those female British rappers your local alt-weekly forced you to vaguely care about pre-M.I.A (at least she was better than Lady Sovereign!), I was surprised to find that Ms Dynamite actually still holds weight across the pond. The combination of Garage-era nostalgia and Funky’s need for dancehall inflected […]
