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 […]

Part 2 brought to you by Son Raw and the healthy looking folks at DMZ. 10 – Doctor P – Sweet Shop (Circus) 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 with […]

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 […]

Jeff briefly mentioned the “Boomkat babble” in his post about Gemmy — perhaps I should explain the new slang. Referring to the glut of singles-based artists populating the digital crates of online music store Boomkat, the term is snarky but not necessarily mean spirited. Though undoubtedly populated with high quality tunes made for DJ crates, […]

Sach O bumps too many mixes We’ve chilled out on the links to Fact Magazine’s excellent bi-weekly mixes because frankly, those are some of the most consistently entertaining free doses of music out there and you should be checking em’ out without our cosign anyways. The bookmark folder is your friend. Rarely wandering into the […]

All Your Bass 3: Montreal Sunset Mix by Son Raw on Mixcloud While Jeff supplicates the Gods of coffee and cannabis in a heroic attempt to track down Stoney Jackson, I’m slinking around Montreal’s Mutek festival as Resident Advisor’s newest Canadian correspondent.  For those who don’t know, Mutek is North-America’s premier experimental Electronic Music Festival […]

Our bass music posts here at PoW trend towards experimental shit. Whether it’s the underground LA sounds bubbling beneath the Hollywood glitz or broody London Gothstep abstract enough to make Q-Tip reach for a Rick Ross track, chances are we bump it. Thing is, we also bump straight up bangers. Montreal renaissance-woman Vilify knows a […]

21 year old London producer James Blake hasn’t been lacking for congratulatory press, what with his every single since “The Air & Lack Thereof” being hailed as a milestone in the field of DPEDMFL (Dubstep proper electronic dance music fans like). Indeed, only fellow rookie Joy Orbison ended up with more props last year – […]

Photo by Jonathan Clark While Montreal’s club scene mostly remains the domain of muscle-shirted cretins and vapid-eyed skeezers* gorging themselves on bottle service to the rhythms of Euro-House and cheese-trance, the city has also spawned a wonderfully diverse selection of bass-music events over the past few years. Everyone has their niche from Boudah Slinky’s student-centered […]

Unceremoniously and without warning, Skream shut down his scene-defining Stella Sessions radio show on Rinse FM this week, unleashing the new and improved “Skream & Benga Show” on the world. The results are a laugh out loud riot including shoutouts to Redtube, the (non) promotion of sex and violence, accusations of philandering and Skream claiming […]
