This next mix is from a new(ish) artist who is causing quite a ruckus in the dubstep scene (read: non-brostep) with his own signature dark and somber sounds which hits you like massive bass waves. A guy who definitely ended the year on my list of artist to watch in 2012 – JLD #159 by Benton is ready and served with a side of extra heavy bass, a little Garage, some Grime and a few classics to kick up the spice!

I suggest you roll one up, grab a coffee and start off your day in a dubstep haze (if applicable… not suggested at the office, or police station, or funeral homes) Personally, I’m keeping this mix on repeat until we unleash JLD #160.

Cheers, and enjoy this very well crafted mix by Benton!

BIO BLIPS:

Undoubtedly one of the most talked about new artists, Benton receives support from the likes of Skream, Benga & Youngsta plus stations such as Kiss 100, BBC Radio 1 and Rinse FM.
With releases on Blackbox and NType’s label, ‘Wheel’n’Deal’ & an eagerly awaited album on the same imprint, Benton’s success is forever expanding.
Arguably most well known for his deep and dark ‘dungeon sounds’ on the contrary,Benton’s sets fuse a variety of sounds, encompassing the soundscape of Dubstep consistently filled with dubs from the Wheel’n’Deal camp, his own original material and from the leading names of the game.

One of 2012′s most anticipated new labels, ATOM Recordings, is launching their debut album with an arsenal of badass tunes from a squadron of some of the heaviest producers and up-and-comers from around the globe.

No surprise the roster is so savage, being a label founded by F3tch (AU), a well recognized dubstep producer, enthusiast, and true connoisseur of the heavy side of the genre. This incredibly powerful album features some of the latest heavyweights, namely xKore (UK), Captain Panic (US), and Romania’s own youngin, Bong. There’s even some Canadian heat in there from yours truly

Here’s a short description of the upcoming release snatched from ATOM Recordings…

The first installment from Atom Recordings is a prodigious 11 track album of sonic debauchery, rancid basslines and twisted melodies. Definitely an album to set the standard for things to come.

The action-packed compilation featuring a diverse line up of talent including Bong ,Xkore, F3tch, Au5, Captain Panic, Static Function, Elliot Mars, Subdue, Geoff Bukk, Big Sips, Melamin and Wicked Sway, Vortek and Endboss, with Styles ranging from filth to neuro to melodic. There is definitely something for the most seasoned critic.

The tracks on the Nucleus album are currently being supported by dubstep’s elite producers and DJ’s such as Excison, Datsik, Downlink, Quartus Saul, Numbernin6, Reid Speed, Borgore, Skream and Benga.

This explosive package detonates next Tuesday, 31st of January, and will be exclusive on Beatport.

Until then, check out this teaser clip, which demonstrates just how vibrant, versatile and towering this release is expected to be…

This year was filled with a lot of bass. So many great tunes were released this year but only so many can go on the list! It pains me to say so but it’s also the reason for “top” lists. New producers, old producers, they all had something to bring to the table this year.

After flipping through a lot of tunes, I finally came to my conclusions on what my “Top 5”s were for 2011.

Bye bye 2011, it was a great year.

And hello 2012.

Top 5 LPs:

1) Pinch and Shackleton – Pinch & Shackleton: Tracks like “Burning Blood” send shivers down the spine with it’s soft percussion and the reminiscent sounds of early dubstep while “Levitation” bridges between dance and experimental music.
Pinch + Shackleton : Burning Blood [Clip] : Out now on Honest Jons by DJ PINCH

2) Silkie – City Limits Volume 2: Silkie delivers an extremely upbeat album. With tracks like “Untitled” (collab with Skream) as well as “Only 4 U,” it is easy to see that Silkie’s production belongs to both the headphone listener and the party junky. “Feel” (collab with Truth) remains my favourite with its deep kick, loud claps and eery synth.

3) Zomby – Dedication: Zomby has some of the creepiest productions I have ever heard mixing 16bit-like sounds with soft drums and piano arrangements that tie everything together. A lot of mystery surrounds this album and like many of his productions, it proves to be an avant-garde step with tracks such as “Witch Hunt.”

4) Sully – Carrier: Carrier is an album that perfectly describes where my head is with regards to bass music. For a year now, I have been seeing more and more juke tunes gaining popularity. Sully keeps a very playful UK Funky feel but “Scram” and “I Know” in particular are very subtle tunes filled with low hats and low sub levels at 160BPM.

5) VA – Mosaic Volume 1: This compilation from dBridge’s Exit label is one album that could not be missed this year. It’s filled with soft, easy listening tracks that perhaps best exemplify autonomic as a genre. “Open Arms” from Synkro remains the most “feel-good-in-the-morning” track I have ever heard. Other artists on the compilation include Distance, Indigo, Skream, Skeptical and Instra:mental to name a few.

Top 5 Singles:

1) Dub Phizix & Skeptical feat. MC Strategy – Marka/Rags: The best tune to end 2011. With almost chant-like emceeing by Strategy and the half-time surrounding it, this tune makes me think that 2012 will be a great year. “Rags” is an amalgamation of sounds everywhere, however maintains a hypnotic head bobbing feel.
Dub Phizix & Skeptical – Marka Feat. Strategy (Exit Records) by Skeptical

2) Royal-T – Orangeade VIP: Royal-T has greatly contributed to the UK grime scene especially with a tune as insane as this. The claps keep the listener attentive amongst the catchy synth. I think by now I can recognize it as soon as the volume is brought up to mix it in. Definitely one of the most played tunes I’ve heard this year (but not overplayed!).
Orangeade VIP Limited Edition (SHIPPING NOW!! W/SWINDLE – MOOD SWINGS VIP) by Royal-T

3) Distal & Mite – Attempt at Yellow/Chocolate Circuit: With the Embassy Recordings label, Atlanta-based Mite and Distal have delivered banger after banger. “Attempt at Yellow” has soft synths, but a heavily present sub to contrast. “Chocolate Circuit” reminds me of sounds used by Salva and takes it to a new level in a half-time beat.
EMB001B DISTAL – Attempt at Yellow by Embassy Recordings

4) Starkey – PC (feat. Merky Ace & Kozzie)/PC (Instrumental)/Peacekeeper: As a huge fan of the “purple” sound, Starkey’s single screams grime with bars by both Merky Ace (with a new EP) and Kozzie. The beat matches to these emcees more aggressive tones and having the instrumental gives a DJ a lot of leg room. The B-side, “Peacekeeper” has a heavy purple synth with that grime beat. P Money freestyled over it on Elijah and Skilliam’s Rinse.FM show.
NHNH015 Starkey feat Kozzie + Merky Ace – PC by Nohatsnohoods

5) Koreless – 4D/MTI: I do not know many future garage enthusiasts, however, I can say with certainty that this release from Koreless is exactly what I see the genre to be like. Using eery vocals, beautiful and subtle bass as well as the intricacies in between everything, Koreless’ release can be seen as an example of what future garage sounds like.
4D by Koreless

Honourable Mention: Cedaa – Justine: Though unreleased, Cedaa’s “Justine” is too great of a tune to leave unnoticed. Cedaa released his Jasmin EP on B.YOURSELF Division but this tune was a giveaway that makes me think that there is a lot coming from him for 2012. To have used a Justin Timberlake song and make into such a clean, minimal juke tune seems to me quite accomplishing.

Top 5 EPs

1) Krampfthaft – Makin’ Magic: This Dutch producer has pumped two very successful EPs so far. With tune’s at 160bpm, Krampfthaft adds his personal touch to the juke phenomena. A tune like “Carl Sagan The Man” rattles speakers with its immense bass kicks and “I Needed You” takes its listener to a new world with enchanting vocals (until it drops).
Carl Sagan The Man (Out now on Rwina Records) by Kr∆mpfh∆ft

2) Burial – Street Halo: What more is there to say about Burial that hasn’t been said already. This three track EP contains haunting yet uplifting vocal bits surrounded by the ambiance that Burial’s sound is known for. As always, Burial remains a mysterious personae and seems to keep his audience begging for more.

3) Hudson Mohawke – Satin Panthers: I didn’t know much about HudMo until this year with their EP release. There is a lot of ground covered in this one similarly to the Krampfthaft. “Thunder Bay” bombards listeners with single shot horns and a hip-hop-like drum pattern which compliments their 160bpm tune “Cbat:” a weird synth playing on top of a drummer-boy sounding snare.
Hudson Mohawke – Thunder Bay by Hudson Mohawke

4) Wheez-ie – Keep Yer Chin Up: “Keep Yer Chin Up” alone is a track to be reckoned with. Wheez-ie’s EP ranges from heavy (“House Ball“) to more catchy sounds (“Barefoot Billy“) and feels totally complete with remixes from Salva and Dj Assault.

5) Kingdom – Dreama: Brooklyn-based Kingdom never ceases to amaze with his versatile productions and “Let You No” proves it. The beats are relaxed making this EP easy to listen to and well worth playing out.

Top 5 Remixes

1) Sicko Cell (Pusherman Remix) – Joy Orbison: “Sicko Cell” was already a sought after tune when it mysteriously appeared on Youtube. Pusherman takes the tune to a new front with a deep sub that emphasizes the rather dark sample.
Sicko Cell (Pusherman Remix) by Pusherman.

2) I Am (Kid Smpl Remix) – Trim: Kid Smpl’s take on Trim’s “I Am” is a nice touch for a grime tune. Reminds me of “Numb” on Starkey’s album.
Trim – Notice Now (Kid Smpl Remix) by Kid Smpl

3) Ray Ban Vision (Luckybeard Remix) – A-Trak ft. Cyhi Da Prynce: This tune is super catchy…almost too catchy. It also has an amazing breakdown which changes the songs vibe completely.
A-Trak – Ray Ban Vision (Feat. Cyhi Da Prynce) (LuckyBeard Remix) by Lucky Beard Rec

4) I See You (Girl Unit Remix) – Lunice: Lunice’s “One Hunned EP” as well as trips overseas has earned this hometown producer a lot of attention this year. Girl Unit’s energetic touch to “I See You” makes for a great remix especially with the high note sub.

5) Be Like Me (Official Remix) – D Double E, Snoop Dogg, P Money and Professor Green: This “official” remix for D Double’s “Be Like Me” features fellow grime emcees P Money and Professor Green but the big surprise is Snoop Dogg on the first verse.

Keeping form and exploring the low end in dubstep, next mix coming up is from Benton! So keep this one of repeat till then.

Well, well… Our servers are back up and we are now ready to unleash one of the biggest mixes if not the biggest one of 2012; a good way to start off the year I might add. Ready to shake your desk apart, rumble your eardrums and remind you that you need to replace that muffled old subwoofer in our office or home (yeah, my sub is busted… this mix definitely drove the point home) – We’ve got JLD #157 by none other then SEVEN !!!

Now this guy is as serious about creating basswaves as he is at making them when he touches the ones and twos. Seems like dust and rubble must start flying up in the air when he enters a room. Check out these clips below if you’re not already convinced. We’ve also got an exclusive interview with the man himself to help you expand your knowledge. All links are below.

In a side note, I’d like to add that this is the last mix coordinated by Matt Hali who is moving on. Matt was the first person to join onto the project with me back at mix #44, bringing in our most downloaded mix ever from Dopelabs. Throughout the two following years, Matt lined up some of the best and biggest mixes to have touched down on JLD. Names likes Subvert, DFRNT, Von D, Orien, Cotti, Darkside, Mochipet, DZ, Fused Forces and the list goes on. So I’d like to send to Matt a big thank you from all of us, and best of luck in all your projects, mainly Crude Records which is a label to keep your eyes on!

Enjoy the mix!

Vaski is back on the map with his new Dreamworld (Nightmare) EP which just came out recently on Rottun Records. Strong of the decks live, Vaski is even better on the buttons pushing his sound and sick production style to the masses since his very first release. Definitely a pleasure to see him whenever he comes around, don’t miss his show. Trust.

Now that the romancing of the reader is over, time for some serious music that might knock you straight out of your seat. So hold on to your ipad, laptops, tube-tops, or whatever. Vaski + Rottun, always a win.

Coming hard and heavy, we’ve got JLD #156 by Colorado’s OMEGA to start off this very hectic week which I think this mix is well suited to explain the chaos and full on party which is about to rein over Montreal. A frozen event on the port of Montreal that we call Igloofest. To follow this, we’ll have a strong deep mix to warm you back up at the end of the week.

Anyway back to Omega… cause this mix is hectic, and packed with all his own production and sprinkled with remixes of his. And not to worry cause it definitely delivers on all ends. Keep a close eye on this guy as his Burn EP comes out tomorrow on MalLabel Music, more info about it tomorrow on JLD.

BURN EP PREVIEW – OUT JAN 10th 2012
Omega – Burn EP (Preview) by OmegaDubstep

BIO BLIPS:

Omega is a bass music producer and DJ, currently residing in Denver, Colorado, US. He first discovered electronic music through the big beat, IDM, and industrial scenes during the late ’90s, and bought his first pair of turntables in 2000. Over the years his tastes have also included jungle, progressive breaks, psychedelic trance, and dub – and in the last couple of years have settled into dubstep and related forms of bass music. Though DJing will always hold a special place in his heart, recently writing and producing tunes has become Omega’s primary obsession.

Omega performances are a hybrid between a DJ set and a live performance – using a laptop running Ableton Live, with several MIDI controllers, effects processors, and synths. An Omega set will always include many original tunes, remixes, edits, and mashes, with a heavy emphasis on live improvisation and manipulation. His energy and stage presence, combined with his monster tunes, inevitably whip a crowd into a frenzy of bassed out bliss. He has shared the stage with: EOTO, Liquid Stranger, Vaski, Eskmo, The Malah, Cold Blank, Bird of Prey, Trillbass, Roksonix, Virus Syndicate, NiT GriT, Calvertron, and many more.

Omega tunes blend the most raw and aggressive aspects of dubstep – snarling synth sounds and organ churning sub-bass – with a careful attention to sound design and elegant use of melody, creating a sound that is at once primal, funky, and psychedelic. Racking up nearly half a million plays on his Soundcloud profile, and getting DJ support from the likes of Liquid Stranger, Jantsen, Samples, Sugarpill, Love + Light, Future Simple Project, The Crystal Method, Zeno, and many others, it’s clear that Omega is a force to be reckoned with in the bass music scene.

2010 saw numerous original and remix releases on various labels, including an Omega remix on The Crystal Method’s “Sine Language” Remix EP. 2011 will bring many more official remixes and singles, several EPs, his first vinyl release, some epic collaborations, and an extensive touring schedule.

In no particular order, here are my top picks from 2011.

Top 5 Producers

Teknian
Formerly known as Tek9, this dude is always about quality with his distinct approach to production.

Static Function
UK producer who definitely knows how to make a banger… deep and catchy melodies, heavy drops, powerful snares, and top notch synthesis.

Culprate
Whether it’s heavy or soothing, Culprate never seizes to impress with his attention to detail and creative presence. A true mastermind.

A3
I’ve only recently discovered A3, but he’s in my top 5 for a reason. I hear solid influences from the likes of Megalodon, P0gman, and Badklaat.

Bwana
Such a fantastic producer. Extremely chilled out beats, deep bass and always full of emotion.

Top 5 Switch-Ups

Reso – Ishimura
[Civil Music] I doubt I’m the only one who finds this tune easy to leave on repeat. The dubstep-to-105bpm switch-up is just ridiculously amazing.

KPC – Devastate
[Play Me] A drumstep tune that is simply downright badass. And just when you thought the second half of the tune was going to be a repetition of the first…

Dayn & Daladubz – Warheads
[Chronos Records] Wow… I tend to think robotic and transformer-style tracks nowadays mostly sound generic. Thanks guys for proving me wrong.

Bratkilla & Bong – Shockwave
[unreleased] Might not be released yet, but in this case it’s a tune I’ve been waiting for since 2011. A different approach to switch-ups, and one that I can appreciate a lot. The use of time signature alterations aren’t very common these days in electronic music. This one works well and is simply awesome.

Bjork – Crystalline
[One Little Indian] Last October Bjork released her latest album which, just as I expected, was down right tasty. In what I think is the album’s hit, ‘Crystalline’ stuns the listener with a chaotic intense transition from delicate chimes and smooth electronic percussion, to mean and ever-so well placed Amen breaks packed with fuel-injected triplets. One of my favorites from 2011.

Top 5 Remixes

The End Is Part Of The Dance – No Place For Us (Blokhe4d remix)
[Tuff Love Dubs] Heavyweight Drum & Bass duo Blokhe4d does this track justice on The End Is Part Of The Dance’s debute EP ‘No Place For Us’

Qualmsound – Breath (Blynk Remix)
[Soulstep] Quality tune that gives me shivers all while having a super relaxing ambient feel. The percussion fits perfectly, and every element has it’s place and role in the mix.

Filth Collins and Pop The Hatch – Let Me Go (Phatman Remix)
[Betamorph Recordings] Hands down would have given Phatman the #1 spot on Filth Collin’s “Let Me Go” remix album. A straight up banger.

Enigma Dubz – Badness (Sub Antix remix)
[Dank 'N' Dirty Dubz] One of the deepest and certainly heaviest tunes I’ve ever purchased. I’m addicted to rinsing this one out.

Vaetxh – Clipper (Culprate’s Water Witch Remix)
[King Deluxe] Such an intricate production. Needless to say that any Culprate remix is intricate, Vaetxh alone is certainly the type of artist I call ‘organic’.

Top 5 Collaborations

G-A & Pubman – Rough With The Smooth
[free dub] A perfect duo, and the title speaks for itself. Brilliant tune.

Dark Elixir & Trampa – Bag Of Weed
[Play Me 2] Two extremely polished producers with some of the heaviest sounds and drops, this collab always sets a powerful and angry vibe. A must-have for any hip-hop/metal-head combo dubstep fan.

Foreign Beggars – LDN feat. Alix Perez
[Never Say Die] Being a fan of their jaw-dropping work with Alix Perez on the track “The Cut Deepens” released back in 2009, this track on Foreign Beggars “Harder They Fall” album was my personal favorite.

Noisia & Phace – Program
[Vision Recordings] Man do i have a weak spot for Neurofunk. This collab between Noisia and Phace is a god damn beast.

Top 5 “That’s Some Next Level Sh!t!”

Phear Phace – Speculate (TeK9 Remix)
[2 Much Bass Records] It seems like 2011 was the year that the 100(ish)bpm tracks emerged, and rightfully so. Tek9′s monster basses and grooves compliment Phear Phace’s distinct edge on mean bass-music.

Culprate – Green (Urbain Rain Forest)
[dub] I often ask myself if this guy is even human. This song is a gem. Total gem. I’m not sure what else to say… you just have to listen to it if you haven’t already done so.

Eptic – Fools
[Chronos Records] Eptic is simply a game changer. Sure, this style of banger seems easy to formulate these days, but no one really has it down like Eptic. He definitely raised the bar of the “Circus” sound in 2011, and in my opinion blasts all the Circus boys out of the water. Wouldn’t be surprised if Eptic was originally a typo trying to spell Epic.

Amon Tobin – Surge (16 Bit remix)
[Ninja Tune] With another demonstration of exceptional sound design, Amon Tobin’s “Surge” remixed by the almighty duo, 16 bit, crushes the hell out of any mimickers challenging their status.
Amon Tobin = next level.
16 Bit = next level.
Amon Tobin + 16 Bit = whole other level.

Benga – Smack Your Bitch Up
[free] I always get a jitter of excitement when I hear new Benga material. Unfortunately I am never sure anymore what to expect, but on the contrary that can also be a great thing. Not only is this track free, but I also had a hard time speaking after hearing this piece of art. Plus, the video is pretty dope too.

-

Well, all in all, 2011 was a great year with great discoveries. It’s sorta hard, if not, impossible to come up with accurate top 5s because there is sooooooo much good and brilliant music out there, but these were all artists and tunes that I found stood out amongst the mass. New talent seems to be popping up out of no where, all over the place, which is ironic in a way. With 7 billion people on this planet, there’s no risk of running out of great music from all kinds of audio geniuses. 2012 surely won’t be any less I’m sure, and I’m looking forward to slowly unwrapping what the next year has in store for all of us bass music enthusiasts. If you search hard enough, and dig deep enough, it can be Christmas every day!

Happy 2k12!

First mix of 2012 and this one is packing some serious rudeboy attitude. So get ready to start off your year with JLD #155 by Blakey. Lots of great tracks in this mix, starting off with some serious dungeon bass and working its way up to some seriously grimey bass lines. It just makes me wanna merk someone. Enjoy.

New label White Peach Records, who’s mantra is to push quality produced dance floor music, released Culprate’s – Curious George VIP / Bside.They most defiantly lived up to their goal, these two fantastic tracks that both satisfies the dance floor and well as all the head bangers out there. Now available on Vinyl direct from White Peach or at Chemical Records and Redeye Records. Also digitally on JunoDownload and AmazonMP3.

More about Giant Peach:

There is a huge amount of skill and precision in creating good quality dance floor music and at White Peach we want to push producers that understand how to create music with incredible technical detail, riveting synthesis and perfect low end. At the moment we feel that the scene is not being represented as well as it could be with quality releases from the harder style of Dubstep, House & Drum&Bass. There is a clear lack of innovation and this can be seen by the saturation in the digital market place with 100′s of releases a week. There is an explosion of generic bass music and we think a combination of detailed quality control, talented artists and peaches, we can have our input in improving the quality of dance floor music in this scene.

The last podcast mix of 2011 and this one is for the sub-bass enthusiast! Racking up #154 with an extra heavy helping of murked out bass is spaceBass coming out strong from Chicago. Personally, I think this mix is a great recap from the deeper, somber side of Dubstep, where bass was still the main area of focus. So now is the time to leave your family aside, twist up some trees and turn up the sound system for a brain bass massage.

See you all in 2012!

Ramping up to the holiday period, we’ve got Nelson B.C.’s Yan Zombie delivering us a super sweet, swanky, purple, hyphy, bass heavy mix which clocks in as JLD #153. Read up on the bio below to learn more, and click the mix for some sonic pleasure.

SWANK.

BIO BLIPS:

Yan Zombie, member of the “REALLY GOOD” family and producer/mc for future-rap crew Cyphanex; is a musical enigma and modern day renaissance man whose audio influences and explorations cross many styles and genres. Everything from quick-mix funk, soul and hip hop, to the baddest dub and glitch-step to heavy metal electro to futuristic badman dancehall grime and bashment; sometimes in the same song. His live PA/Ableton electronic shows consist of original cutting edge crunk production, combined with on the fly mashups and micro mixing – sometimes dropping parts of almost 100 songs in a 90 minute set.

His latest mixes have been posted on San Francisco’s avant glitch imprint Daly City Records blog site and Yan is referred to by Ninja Tune heavyweight DJ Vadim as “A Bad Motherfucker cooking up crack with the Moog synthesizer.” Able to count world class DJs like Mat The Alien, Mochipet and Vadim as fans and collaborators, the Zombie’s buzz is starting to build. 10 years deep in the producing game; having toured 7 countries with acts such as Abstract Rude, Mat The Alien and Emotionz – with whom they became the first Canadian hip hop/grime unit to play Romania, Austria and Hungary in 2007.

In June 2011, Yan Zombie releases his full length instrumental album ‘THE HOLD-ON TIGHT: ANALOGUE SLICES OF LOVE AND CONFUSION’ (Digital Punchout!), smashing genre boundaries between glitch, soul and hip hop. Look for an upcoming EP on Propa Tingz’ & The Outlier’s imprint True Movement: ‘Habitual Line-Stepper,’ a heavy dose of raw psychedelic crunk and futuristic purple. There will also be a release for Daly City in the next 6 months… as well as remixes of/collabs with MC ZULU, Neighbor, Emotionz, Stylust, DJ Vadim, Bassnectar, Ill Gates, Mat The Alien, Mochipet, Chad Van Gaalen, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and a slew of bootlegs for dancefloor mayhem and psychedelic headphone candy. Known for bringing unexpected and capitivating elements to the Shambhala stage; this year’s Zombie Apocalypse will push it to the next level.

Join the Zombie army Friday night at Shambhala’s Living Room Stage…. and bring that big juicy brain of yours….

I was gonna try and wait till tomorrow to release this mix, but since myself and Harmsworth are currently moving to a bigger loft space tomorrow… I’m not too sure when I’ll have internet again.

So here we go! I’ve been wanting a mix from these guys since the first track of theirs i hear. Coming hard and strong from Toronto we’ve got The Killabits in for JLD #149! This canadian duo has been making LOTS of noise in the scene for the past 2 years, 2011 being their biggest year to date. Teamed up with Zeds Dead, they are at the helm of Bassmentality. A crazy intense wednesday night weekly event held at Wrongbar. I was lucky enough to be invited to share the spot light at this event, and it goes without saying that people love their ruffneck bass a whole lot at Bassmentality. Pretty much every single week features an international artist at the top spot. But that being said, a successful weekly event is at the bottom of their achievements list. I can’t even begin to sum up the success they’ve had in 2011, so I’ll let the bio do the rest. You guys read up a bit, and get your ears ready for this!

BIO BLIPS:

After Setting The Internet On Fire Throughout 2010 With Countless Dubstep Remixes And Underground Releases The Killabits Have Come Out Strong In 2011.

Having Teamed Up With California’s Dubstep Heavyweight ‘Play Me Records’ Their April Release ‘Hard Feelings’ Has Been Putting Them Clearly In The International Spotlight. Both Songs From This 2 Song Mini-EP Reached The Top 20 On The Beatport Top 100 Dubstep Charts Within Days Of Its Release.

Having Completed A Recent West Coast America Run The Killabits Are Currently Working On Both Blazing New Dubstep Beats As Well As Collaborations With Some Of Toronto’s Best Musicians, All While Planning Trips To Over-Seas, The West-Coast Of Canada And Back Into America For A Full Length National Tour. Coming Out Of Toronto, Canada Where The Talent Is Considered To Be Atop The International Dubstep & Electro Playing Fields, This Duo Also Maintains Their Weekly Co-Created Event ‘Bassmentality’ This Residency Has Reached International Acclaim And Has Played Host To Some Of The Worlds Leaders Like Nero, Skrillex, Borgore, Doctor P And Of Course The Other Half Of This Events Creators Zed’s Dead.

With Recent Releases Charting On Beatport’s Massively Influential Dubstep Charts, The ITunes US Top 200 & Top Pop 100 And Strong Support At BBC Radio 1 It’s Easy To See Why This Hard-Hitting Production Duo Has Such A Rabid Fan-Base And Are Regularly Considered A Household Name In The Dubstep & Bass Music Scene.

A little word from KingDeluxe.ca

This is a tune that will be given away for free as part of an A/V project. Many artists have participated. It involves music producers and Visual artists that collaborate to tell a story of things that haven’t happened..

Wow, I’ve got chills right now as i’m typing this and not because Montreal is covered in snow at the moment. What I’m talking about is this wonderful FREE EP from Olie Bassweight & Timmy P MC. A beautiful collaboration teaming up Olie’s solid, deep & soulful production with Timmy P’s very well tuned vocals. Quite the team if you ask me.

Check out the RedBull video recap to learn more about the collab, and click on below to grab the EP on a donation basis. Free if you want to, but give a little if you can. Artist need bread too

A very interesting Red Bull video about they’re time in the Auckland Red Bull Studio. My favourite part of this video is finally putting a face to the name of Olie Bassweight, two time JLD mixer – JLD #136 & JLD #55.

Well well well… here we go again. Round 2 for the insanely heavy duo, SubDog and BratKilla, coming back around strong with their second mix featuring many of the heaviest underground dubstep producers: Alpha & Omega.

This mix will definitely hurt feelings and disturb the faint-hearted. Brace yourself for some of the nastiest sounds, heaviest drops, tightest rhythms and satanic-like emotion, all combined together to create a one-and-a-half-hour metal-infused masterpiece.

Those of you familiar with their equally-heavy first duo mix Death By Decibels, which received and outstanding response reaching over 30,000 downloads and quite a shocking buzz throughout the underground dubstep scene, then you would be a lunatic not to be excited about Alpha & Omega.

Already attracting an enormous amount of attention with over 2000 plays in just over a day, and downloaded by ‘deathstep’ enthusiasts in over 65 countries around the world, Alpha & Omega is definitely a must-have and will become a classic in the (new) series.

Bratkilla is one of the hardest and darkest, and there is generous amount of his originals included in here. Some of the featured artists in this mix have also become a few of my recent personal favorites, such as 12GAUGE, Mantis and Teknian. I can honestly say that each and every one of the producers showcased in here are to look out for, and undoubtedly, to look in to.

With all that said, here is the mix. Hold on to your hats and make sure you haven’t got any full drinks anywhere near your speakers…

I’m absolutely loving this new forthcoming Slime Beach EP by Kuhn presented on Civil Music. These dreamy, synth & crunk infected tracks are refreshing to my ears and fun to play around with. Packaged as 4 original tracks available on a 12″ and 4 digital remixes by names such as Phillip D Kick and The Range on the button flipping the beat to a juke tempo. You can grab this wicked release starting November 14th 2011, but until then you can gnab a FREE EP from Kuhn !!! Check out the links below and grab that!

SLIME BEACH EP PREVIEW:
Slime Beach EP by Kuhn

TRACKLIST
A1. Slime Beach
A2. Stoneskipper
B1. We’re Gonna Make It
B2. Back ‘N’ Forth
Digi: Slime Beach (Philip D Kick Remix)
Digi: Slime Beach (The Range Remix)
Digi: Back ‘N’ Forth (Drop Dead Remix)
Digi: Stone Skipper (S Mahabra Remix)
Digi: Back ‘N’ Forth (Drop Dead Alternative Remix)

PR WORDS:

Following a youthful decade of producing beats between New York and Boston, 22-year-old Bennett Kuhn has honed in on a sound that spans a wide range of contemporary electronic music. Ranging from futurist hip-hop a la Low End Theory through Chi-Town juke to post-dubstep, Kuhn’s sound is raw, energetic and individual.
‘Slime Beach’ is a slinky angry rasta crunk explosion. Manically ascending 3-octave synth kalimba arpeggios are punctuated by mammoth sharp 808 kicks and g-funk square leads rising up like a symphony, with extra vibraslap for the win. ‘Stoneskipper’ pushes uptempo, again juicing the bass bins with distorted square waves that mutate and screech, while percussion samples salvaged from a dusty Polynesian ethnographic recording keep things generally funky. ‘Back ‘N’ Forth’ is deeper, with brooding detuned pads washing over solid 808 footwork rhythms while two tracks of severely panned vocal mantras intertwine and separate in polyrhythm. ‘Island’ is the most melodic of the bunch, a jubilant glittery synth workout underpinned by quaking sub kicks constantly on the verge of erupting into new and more violent ranges of infrasound. ‘We’re Gonna Make It’ is love song. Warm vocals and guitar lifted from the solo output of ‘Zombies’ lead singer ‘Colin Blunstone’ are reconfigured around a halftime shuffle, with static snares, lazer blasts, and persistent lower-than-low subs setting the pace. ‘We’re Gonna Make It’ features on the vinyl only but is available as a free download with additional remixes from Obey City, Japan’s Magical Mistakes and Kuhn’s ‘Alt Dub’.
On remix detail, the recently unmasked Philip D Kick (read the story of the Footwork Jungle EP series) and Providence’s best kept secret, The Range both rework ‘Slime Beach’. Kick provides his last ever remix which takes a hybrid half-step juke-junglist route and adds club punch to what is an already arresting number. The Range meanwhile looks in a smoother and more translucent direction, swapping the emphasis to new vocal samples that grow into a majestic and euphoric epic. ‘Back ‘n’ Forth’ is retooled by London’s Drop/Dead and Baltimore’s howse. Drop/Dead’s remix shifts into deep funky old school boom bap electro with a Frankenstein new vocal mantra (“What the F***?”), while howse redefines the brooding darkness of the original with a churning ambient track like early Boards of Canada but with a juke sensibility. The EP rounds off with a blast from the imagination of S. Maharba, whose haunting take on ‘Stoneskipper’ showcases his beautifully gloomy yet majestically soulful approach to beatcrafting.
Irrepressibly linked to Astro Nautico, the Brooklyn-based label/blog/party collective co-founded in 2009 by Kuhn along with Obey City and Paul Jones, his initial output came in the form of a series of self released free EPs including ‘Quiet Nights EP’ (featuring reworks from the likes of Young Montana?, InfinitiRock, Obey City and others) and ‘Spacemusik EP’.
Originally a drummer, Kuhn identifies his early influences in the hyper-rhythmic post-rave experimentalism of Warp Records c.2000, which in turn gave way to a fascination with jungle, dark garage, American hip-hop and the subsequent emergence of dubstep and its many divergences. Today the result is a melting pot of styles in the tradition of wildcard electronic artists such as Luke Vibert, Daedelus, Chris Clark, Squarepusher, and Machinedrum to name a select few.
Kuhn is, in addition, a talented visual artist. Currently focused on the defunct VHS format, Kuhn himself designed the sleeve artwork for ‘Slime Beach EP,’ and his blog features more animated gifs and webart. Importantly, his website www.kuhnmusic.com currently exhibits a dazzling 10min animated background flux soundtracked by a mixtape containing over 15 exclusive original tracks.
‘Slime Beach EP’ is the beginning: it is the first of a series of EPs from the truly multi-talented individual leading towards a full length for Civil Music; home to Starkey, Reso, Drums of Death, Débruit, Om Unit, Darling Farah and more.

WOHHHH! How Halloween is great. Not only is Stagga‘s newest release FINALLYYYYY out, but it’s probably his best one to date. Out now on Slit Jockey Records is Stagga‘s Wild for the Night EP featuring not only the crazy title track but Be The Generals too! I’m sure most Starkey fans have been hearing these jams on his SUB.FM radio show for quite a while now, cause I remember freaking out when I first heard it then… months ago. These tunes are still just as fresh and sharp as Stagga usually brings it, stacked with remixes by DNAEBEATS, Robot Koch, Doshy and Dev79. Quite an unreal package if you ask me!

Happy halloween and enjoy this FREE DOWNLOAD of Be The Generals by Wermonster.

Stagga – Be The Generals (Wermonster Remix) FREE DOWNLOAD by Slit Jockey Records

PR WORDS:

This is the one people have been waiting for with baited breath! We get tons of messages asking when this is dropping, and now the time is finally upon us. This beast is about to get unleashed on turntables and soundsystems everywhere! And Halloween is the perfect day for everyone to get “Wild for the Night!”

The two Stagga originals here are heat rocks in the street bass style of kitchen sink aesthetic! Taking nods from dubstep, grime and rap all bashed together in way that is undeniably Stagga. These tracks have seen heavy play support from Gaslamp Killer, Starkey, EPROM, Kozee and early blog support from Phree Drugs and Chrome Kids. Berlin’s prolific Robot Koch (the mastermind behind Jahcoozi) amps things up with his stomping refix. After solo Seclusiasis releaes and touring/producing for Gift of Gab (of Blackalicious), San Francisco’s DNAEBEATS flips a serious head nodder on his remix here. Robox-Neotech’s main man Doshy throws down a sick trap influnenced cut up. Philly’s Dev79 merges 2-step and grime vibes for a wicked ride and Stagga rounds it out with a VIP version of “Be the Generals.”

Stagga recently released his debut album on Rag & Bone, after a slew of successful singles including the modern classic “Genik Riddim” on Slit Jockey last year. He’s toured the world and he’s had the support of Mary Anne Hobbs, Daedelus, Surgeon, Hatcha and N-Type.

Another great release coming out of the MalLabel Music team as Porkchop delivers his Solarblind EP, out today as a Beatport Exclusive. This 6 track EP contains 4 original Porkchop tunes and 2 remixes of the title track by some of my favourite producers. Vancouver’s Taal Mala and the always so sick production of Stagga. Such a sick EP and easily one of my favourites dubstep releases in the past few months. Boogiemon takes the cake for me, as it delivers a sinister bassline which I cannot help myself but freak out when it drops. Big ups to all involved.

As a special treat we’ve got a free exclusive download of Porkchop & Digital Rust‘s track Chisel for you all to enjoy which is part of the EP. Check the links at the bottom of the post and don’t forget to check out Porkchop’s JLD #117 mix.

Solarblind EP by PORKCHOP

PR WORDS:

MalLabel Music’s latest release comes from the efforts of a promising, innovative, and artistic mind with a flare for the dramatic, the dark, and minimal. Porkchop is a unique beat maker with a deep-seated understanding of aesthetics, having had an accomplished career as a graphic designer and illustrator. His aptitude for space and weight carry over into his sonic creations, and his Solarblind EP is a showcase of some brilliant and moody handiwork.

Porkchop, a San Francisco resident, has a smooth signature sound that is suggestive of classic UK dubstep, it is full of deep, rolling synths, and spacey, gloomy ambience. The title track on the EP is a precious and intimate opus that looms and lumbers with a thick, murky throb, a moving piece of work that is both dubby and deep. The track has two rerubs on the EP, a hyped up raga infused remix from powerhoase producer Stagga, and another minimal manipulation by the UK’s masterful Taal Mala. Another of the tracks, “Boogiemon,” is a tense, restrained, and understated romper that chugs and undulates with dance floor attitude. In addition to his solo work, Porkchop’s effort on Solarblind finds him teaming up with LA funk master Digital Rust on “Oozed,” a dark and ominous creeper of a tune, and “Chisel,” perhaps the meatiest and chunkiest of the tracks included on the release.

The Solarblind EP is a solid accomplishment on several fronts: It is due credit for its originality, and Porkchop’s overall intention to create moodiness without detracting from energy is a successful gambit. The release is shadowy and pulsating with super thick vibe. Every track on the EP is worth a go, there isn’t a dance floor from LA to Liverpool that would be able to avoid appreciating its dark, dubby elegance. MalLabel is due kudos for it’s vastly diverse release schedule, and for anyone who has been waiting for the label to satisfy a craving for a more classic or traditional dubstep flavor, this is the release you have been waiting for.

Artwork by Porkchop.

BIO BLIPS:

San Francisco based DJ/Producer Porkchop (Benjamin Keyser) has built a rising obelisk of sound stemming from the muscles and chambers of the underground scene into the high gloss swash of the refined dubstep movement above. In addition to his solo offerings, Porkchop contributes to many of the SF bass-fixated conglomerates and operates half of ADSUM with Mikey Fisher (Future Simple Project). His live performances are a mix of heady minimalist dubs and spontaneous compositions, further blurring the lines between DJ, musician, and artist.

Porkchop & Digital Rust – Chisel

Starting off Halloween week we’ve got JLD #141 by Westerley. From the West Coast of Canada, Westerley brings us a mix which has a great blend of new and old. A snippet of a live set performed at Carrington Bay this year, re-recorded at home from his serato history. This mix reaches all over the place, a quality I tend to enjoy quite a bit and I hope you do to.

Big ups for dropping Ruffage. Classic.

BIO BLIPS:

From Lasqueti Island on the West Coast of Canada, Westerley has been playing and producing bass heavy music for over a decade. Starting at a very young age Westerley has played countless parties, festivals (including Shambhala, Bass Coast, Soundwave, VEMF, and Diversity) and club nights alongside a massive list of well known artists such as Pendulum, Dj Fresh, Shimon, Chase & Status, Bassnectar, Eskmo, Freq Nasty, Liquid Stranger, Shy Fx, Deekline, The Freestylers, Grooverider, SS, Dj Zinc, Spoonbill, Gaudi, Twilight Circus, and many many others including opening for Dj Craze & Armanni Reign in Tallinn, Estonia.
As of late Westerley has been focusing on the deeper, more minimal side of dubstep but you can expect to hear pretty much anything if the time is right.
For 2011 he saw his first release on RFR, took on running the Beach Stage at Diversity Festival on Texada Island and had a solidly booked schedule of shows.

On that note, here’s one of F3Tch‘s new pieces in the works…

Keep it vicious!

After such a big release from last week’s Cotti mix, what could we do to keep this momentum? Why not release a mix by one of the pillars of North America’s best labels producing some of the most bright, innovative, fresh sounding “dubstep”. Co-founder of Seclusiasis, and father of Street Bass along side Starkey, Dev79 bring us this week’s JLD mix #140. I remember first hearing of Dev79 when learning about Starkey’s Street Bass movement way back in ’06. I still remember hearing “From the Get” for the first time, and thinking I had never heard anything like it. It went beyong conventional dubstep at the time and focused on building a raw bass riddim like no other, panning from left to right and making heads bop around. Anyway, enough said. Check out the mix, the label, his production, and all the links, cause it’s worth it.

Big up DEV79. I still got those signed Street Bass slipmats on my turntables btw.

BIO BLIPS:

Philadelphia’s brazen Dev79, aka Gair Marking, has been bangin’ out the underground sounds for years. With an almost reckless abandon he attacks a barrage of genres (from UKG to Grime to Tropical to Dubstep to Rap and whatever the fuck else) to create his spin on the Street Bass style. He’s done recent remixes for +Verb, Raffertie, DZ, Starkey, BD1982, Gobs the Zombie, Guttstar, Mestizo, Dmn Days, and is soon to present a mixtape for up and coming r&b/reggae singer Sheba as well as working on a collab EP with Seattle’s Thrills (Sub Philo Music). Dev79 and Starkey are the masterminds behind the Seclusiasis empire and Street Bass Anthems series, as well as the Slit Jockey Records imprint with partner El Carnicero.

Serious action awaits you on JLD #138 brought to us by Son Raw. Now what could I say about Son Raw that I didnt mention last time (JLD #98) – possibly one of my favourite selectors in the Montreal area at the moment. His choice in music is pretty spot on, blending new and old together to bring us a mix that borderlines the new bass/house trends but keeps it solid with lots of great grime and straight up DUBstep. Simply put, I’ve had this mix on repeat for a few days. Check the links below to read up on Son Raw’s many online musical writings. Enjoy the mix!

October 4th, 2011 Exclusively on Beatport

PR WORDS:

On the West Side of the United States is a town that many are familiar with. It is perched precariously, nested in the knee of California, a bright gem jutting out of the land’s end. It is San Francisco, perhaps the most artistically prolific patch of land to ever boast a landmass of only 7 by 7 miles, and it is literally crawling with every kind of artist you can imagine, from the most complex minded beat makers to visionary painters whose brushes splash forth intricate images of sacred geometry and winged minions. Here, in San Francisco, where psychic beaches are combed day in and day out, it can be hard to sift through the sands and locate treasure, but there is one music label hell bent on locating diamonds in the rough, and they are known as MalLabel Music.
           Veteran producer and DJ El Diablo is the latest artist on the label to have been chosen by the divinely guided hand of label owner Mal Harper to showcase his unique brand of underground bass bangers, and the fruit of this labor is a perfectly gorgeous EP called ‘Devil In The Machine.’
           From the opening lazer-bass-belting title track to the last seconds of the 6 track EP, ‘Devil in the Machine’ includes some of the most poignant and original sounds of 2011. Diablo has a signature aesthetic to his production that defies an easy label. His signature synth sound is a squelching formant infected rip tone, his sense of mid range is controlled and vibrant, avoiding completely the bro step midrange so heavily over-utilized in today’s dubstep bangers. His beats reflect a long time love affair with hip hop and break beat culture, and his use of crunchy distortion patches offer a nice juxtaposition.
           Aside from Diablo’s highly original sonic narrative abilities, the remixers on the album are perhaps the strongest pull for the EP. One of the most successful producers of 2011’s highly varied landscape, Liquid Stranger, kicks down an utterly earth-shattering, robo-infused, hype-filled fix up of the title track that will kill any dance floor dead on contact. Next, the dynamic duo Megalodon craft a mix of Diablo’s ‘Ruffer Dan Dem’ that illustrate their absolute and undeniable talent for crafting infectious grooves that can get any ass to wiggle about. Also, teaming up with Diablo for a remix of 6Blocc’s ‘Kultcha’ (released earlier on MalLabel) is San Francisco’s own UFO!, a hard core veteran whose name should be well known to any aficionado of bass.
           El Diablo’s ‘Devil In the Machine’ EP is not only a personal triumph for him, but irrefutable evidence that MalLabel Music has its finger directly on the jugular of dance music on the West Coast. In San Francisco, a virtual anthill of talented producers, one small grass roots crew, captained by the drive for sonic excellence, has a streak several years long of standout releases, and that crew is MalLabel.

BIO BLIPS:

Subvert – PK Sound / Muti Music / Shambhala Music Festival / Rottun Recordings

Subvert hails from Calgary, Alberta and his winding path in music started in 1996. Proof of his dedication to ‘Bass’ is in his track record of creating the world’s loudest competition vehicles, designing pK’s 100,000 watt sound system and managing the Village Stage at Shambhala Music Festival. He started DJing in 2000 and combined with his extensive work on sound systems and attention to
precision sound, he was ultimately & naturally led down the path to creating his own music productions and once again the low frequencies consumed him. Subvert’s sound is a combination of throbbing, relentless basslines, melodic strings and haunting pianos singing through midtempo glitch / acid crunk and dubstep. His attention to detail and the ability to tune into ‘bass that works’ can be felt in all of his music productions.

It’s all about the bass…..

I love The Spaceape. Somehow his voice brings back fond memories of a previous scene where dingy dark rundown lounges would open their doors to our dungeon bass beats. No bottle service, no high heel shoes or grease ball tans. Hoodies, joints, and beers a plenty. This 2 track EP from Dub Gabriel supported by Destroy All Concepts and featuring vocal works be The Spaceape and Mighty Dub Killerz delivers on that front. Pure vibes!

Dub Gabriel feat. The Spaceape & Mighty Dub Killerz by Destroy All Concepts

PR WORDS:

Dub Gabriel hits us with his most thought-provoking and subversive tracks to date, highlighting the dilemma facing our global society as people take to the streets striking out against hunger, poverty, war, government corruption and the rise of corporate cultural hegemony. Joined by pioneering UK dubstep MC, The Spaceape (Kode9/Burial) on the incendiary title track ‘Is This Revolution’, and Chicago’s Mighty Dub Killerz on the flip for the soulful call to action of ‘These Times’ – together they deliver a lyrical mind-bomb that invokes the spirits of Linton Kwesi Johnson, The Clash and Gil Scott-Heron for a new generation.

BIO BLIPS:

Bass music pioneer Dub Gabriel has been pushing the low-end spectrum since his start at NYC’s legendary Limelight Club in the 90′s. Now, as part of the Akai Pro Artist family, he travels the globe with his APC40 breaking down the barriers between DJ’ing and live electronic performance. His trailblazing style has created much demand on the international club and festival circuits (most recently playing to capacity crowds in a headline slot at this year’s Fusion Festival in Germany), and has seen him perform regularly alongside a truly diverse set of cutting-edge artists that include Benga, Bomb Squad, Kode9, DJ Craze, Scientist, Meat Beat Manifesto, Zion Train and François K (with whom he is a regular guest for the past 7 years at Cielo’s celebrated Deep Space night in NYC).

When not on the road, Dub Gabriel is immersed in the studio creating critically acclaimed projects that include a recent string of heavy-hitters featuring U-Roy, Michael Stipe (REM), MC Zulu, Yo! Majesty, Jahdan Blakkamoore and 77Klash (both known for their work w/ Major Lazer). His unique take on Global Bass Music has led to many commissioned remixes, including some recent standouts for Balkan Beat Box and Dubblestandart feat. Lee Scratch Perry & David Lynch. Under the guise of Jajouka Soundsystem, he recently worked with Bachir Attar (of the Master Musicians of Jajouka) and David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets) – their critically acclaimed first track, ‘Salahadeen’, is featured on the groundbreaking Generation Bass ‘Transnational Dubstep’ compilation on Six Degrees Records.

Coming in dark and murky with extra large sounds is JLD #135 by Fused Forces. A U.K. duo that’s too large in sound in ignore. These boys delivered us a mix that belongs in the darkest, most dingy underground rooms. Turn up the speakers and you’ll know what i mean. Excellent job!

Read up below and catch up with the latest from Fused Forces.

BIO BLIPS:

Ads and Dan of Fused Forces have been producing Dubstep, Grime & Hip-Hop for the best part of 7 years, collaborating with artists such as Macabre Unit, Slaughter Mob, DJ Cable, Sean Price (US), Vader, Riko Dan, Sonny Jim and many more of that calibre in the process, making it evident that their technical ability is highly sought after.

With one of their recent productions being used for the Tiger Beer campaign in 2011, it’s easily apparent why they are consistently invited to perform at high profile events and radio shows such as GetDarker TV and also hold a firm listenership on Force FM 106.5 (every Tuesday 9.00-10.30 PM GMT)

Recognisable technical mixing and an extensive back catalogue of production drawing from their Grime, Hip Hop and Dubstep influences ensure that Fused Forces are showing no signs of their momentum slowing. Keep your eyes peeled for more huge releases and news from the boys including an eagerly awaited Mixtape featuring a track with US Rapper, Sean Price and the Fused Forces Album.

Respect & Ting EP [Forthcoming Betamorph Digital] by Doug Surreal

PR WORDS:

Fusing deep style dubstep, straight up rub-a-dub and complex synthesis, DougSurreal and Dr. I bring you “Respect ‘n Ting“.

From the depths of Dr. I’s ‘waaaay off the grid’ studio deep in the west coast cut, and with guest appearances from reggae legend Ranking Joe and prolific hip-hop beat slanger Coop Dville, this release is not to be slept on!

Meditate, regulate and get straight with these surreal vibes.

BIO BLIPS:

Doug Surreal:
Doug Surreal entered the dub chambers in the early part of the Detroit electronic music scene back in 1994, playing Live PAs a the original underground parties of the day in notorious punk/electro group “Spaceling & Bassheads” (releases on Interdimensional Transmissions, Intuit Solar). He teamed up with Mike the 2600 King in the early 2000′s releasing Hip Hop instrumental Jeep Beat Dubs on wax with the acid drenched, lofi nightmare “Jack Spaar” releasing on Burlesque of North America. In 2006, the legendary Z-man and Like Sick joined forces with Surreal to create a psychedelic hip hop masterpiece with the twisted “Mortel Crew”. In 2008, Doug Surreal & Carolyn (“oWn” at the time) teamed up and created “Skulltrane”. Surreal produced the original Skulltrane sound from 2008 to 2010, releasing on MalLabel. Since then, Doug has had releases on Badman Press & Betamorph Recordings accompanied by his official remixes for: DZ, Roommate, 6 Blocc, HD 4000, Orbatak & Johnny Bueno to name a few. Various projects are in the works with Alter Echo, dub music legend Mad Professor, and many other influential acts.

Dr I Bio:
Dr. I is an anomaly of tone and person. Way off the grid, his deeply hidden studio (literally) has the mystique of Lee Perry’s Black Arc Studios of the 70s. “Respect and Ting” might be his official first release, but that is because this is the first piece he has been willing to share with the masses. Deeply underground, I spreads vibes, tones and tunes with his Family and brethren. A guitarist, tuntablist and drummer first, this Badman took to the ways of samplers and hardware, melding all of it together opening up maximum dub potential.

Let’s get this weekend started! Today on the menu we’ve got JLD #133 by DROKKR bringing an extra heavy serving of bass. This mix is way to easy to enjoy, and might be the right to set you off tonight for a wicked adventure. So turn up your sub woofers, check out the links below and enjoy this killer mix! I’ve been bugging my neighbours with it for more then a minute.

Next week we have mixes by TrebleSum & Fused Forces.

BIO BLIPS:

Having grown up listening to Detroit Techno and progressively moving through electronic music, Irish bass music producer DROKKR took up production around 4 years ago. In his music you can hear him taking influences from a 17 year love affair with electronic music. Having played around with DJing before taking up production which steadily moved towards a live show. The live show that he currently brings to the table is one full of driving beats, quirky percussion and solid heavy duty bass.

Momentum is steadily building behind DROKKR and his music. Seeing plenty of radio support from DJs such as Starkey on BBC 1xtra and SubFM and from No Yeah No & Warlock, Threnody Mad EP and Valta on SubFm. There is now also series of mixes and live recordings for various blogs and radio shows are in the currently in the pipeline to coincide with the launch of his own website, blog and the forthcoming releases.

With the wheels fully in motion now,2011 is shaping up nicely With a string of releases lined up for the coming months. As the rest of the year pans out, things are looking to get even busier for Drokkr and his music. The prolific producer seems to be able to move between genres little effort while constantly pushing his boundries and all the while evolving his own unique sound.

“DROKKR is unique in that his music straddles many different genres, but always feels fresh and exciting, and interestingly like the same artist. Exactly what I want to hear in music today.” – Starkey

“I knew from the early beats I was receiving from DROKKR that one day he would be on Badman Press, and atm he is really growing into his own sound and obviously enjoying himself – when I listen to “Big Drink” I have no choice but to smile and nod my head in respect to the man from Ireland doing it big with a style that goes down from California to Bristol and beyond!” – DZ

“Yea, been dropping DROKKR’s stuff for a while now, lots of influences ranging from techno, garage, bassline to rave……..wicked!” – No Yeah No

Got another great dubstep techno cross over release that I’ve been sitting on for a while now. I meant to share this with you guys when it came out, but It seemed like I was too busy playing these on the radio to actually sit down and make a post.

So here we go. Coming out from France’s F4TMusic we’ve got Shinigami San‘s Toys EP. An intricate exploration of bass and rhythms creeping along the sides of techno, 8-bit, and noise aesthetics. This EP has been ready for comsuption since September 8th (I must of been distracted by my bday celebrations around that time) so don’t waste anymore time. Check out the links below.

F4TLP001 – Shinigami San – Toys by F4TMusic

PR WORDS:

Tunisia has never been a referent place in the electronic music world. It was better known for its beaches and hot weather, hardly for its political regime but the events of 2011 brought quite some changes about that. These changes have been nurturing in the underground of the country until exploding to the face of the world, with fantastic momentums of rebellion, courage and union.

Shinigami San’s album is a signal that emanates from the underground of Tunisia: a hybrid of dubstep, techno and noise; very dark, but most importantly, very true. This is neither the sound of London nor Berlin, and if a couple of ingredients from here and there are recognizable in “Toys”, it is most defnitely the electronic sound of Tunisia we bring to you here.

From the dusty 8-bit dubstep of “Lofi” and “Toys” to the dark techno rollers “Post Trauma” and “Migra”, you will go by tribal beats, eerie atmospheres and heavily distorted sound textures. Shinigami San draws a panorama that shows both impressive skills and style.

“Toys” is not only about excellent and true music, but also about original product design and DIY manufacturing. This 450 digipack limited edition was hand-printed and crafted using silk screen printing, rulers and cutters. The graphic design is based on drawings from Sabrina Ben Hadj Ali, and each cd comes numbered, with 3 original prints on the graphic theme of the album.

Today, we are up to put Tunisia under the radar of electronic beats diggers; today, we bring you the first album of Tunisian- born Shinigami San: nothing cheesy here, just a raw, brutally honest energy.

Let’s get this weekend rolling, deep heavy bass style. Pushing the limits of bass, we’ve got JLD #131 by BANNERWORX based out of London. Upfront Bannerworx seems like deejay pushing wax but he’s much more then that. Behind the curtains he is a designer for scene, label manager Sin City Recordings with Hatcha & N-Type and architect of Hatcha.tv

This mix is really hot and sounds like dubstep, straight up dubstep. If someone asked me to show them what dubstep sounds like or what it should feel like, i’d show them this mix. No mid-range squelchy tracks, just low-end driven dubstep tunes. Excellent. Not to say that there is no place for filth or agrostep in the genre, but it is nice to listen to a heavy mix which doesnt just rely of top 10 tunes and mosh-pit inducing riddims.

Enjoy the mix, and have a great weekend!

BIO BLIPS:

With nearly 20 years experience behind the turntables, it’s not hard to see why he is known as a “Party Starter” and the “Ladies choice”. His musical background spans from his New York roots of Hip Hop to the UK sounds of Dubstep, UK Garage & Funky House. With such a wide variety in music, it’s not hard to see why you may catch Bannerworx at your local night club dropping some 50 Cent, but in the blink of a eye, he will spinning some of the bass heavy Dubstep creations by Lost in Fabric London. On top of all this, Bannerworx is also Label Manager for Sin City Recordings alongside Hatcha & N-Type.

Supreme & Megalodon Mix for The Afterparty on C89.5FM by Supreme

This week we’ve got JLD #129 coming in all the way from the home of Shambhala, Nelson B.C. – Deeps in the mix bringing us bass of all forms from dubstep to moombahton to whatever. He keeps it banging so check out the mix and links to plenty of other mixes from Deeps below.

BIO BLIPS:

Outcast for his unintentional destruction of Atlantis 11,000 years ago Deeps has resurfaced from hiding to share his story sonically with the world.

Thousands of years in solitary training have enabled him to drop watery basslines and bottomless breaks safely raising any party to its threshold. A known expert in Dirty Speckledbelly Bass and Grimey Tailfin Bass he always produces fresh plates filled with filthy whomp filets.

Publicly promising that the tsunami force which was so destructive in the past is now under control, Deeps also guarantees a crunktastick voyage through the depths of slippery synth waves and salty cyberfunk for all who set sail with him.

Get your nets out for an abyss of dopeness when sailing the musical seas with Deeps.

The next label dropping a mix for our JLDx series is still pretty new to the block but I can say with ease that it’s been one of my favorites since the start. Coming in from Amsterdam with 17 releases under their belt is Rwina Records mixed by Akkachar.

In my opinion a great label should have a good ear for new sounds, a good eye for spotting the right artist and the guts to put out music they believe in, Rwina does just that. I’ve been rinsing releases by Rwina starting off with #01, Starkey’s Just A. They’ve racked up a killer line up of names since then, signing great producers such as Taz Buckfaster, Eprom, Noah D, Terror Danjah, Swindle, Doshy, Desto, etc. Simply put: straight up killing it!

Enjoy the mix.

LABEL PROFILE:

Rwina Records is a new label out of Amsterdam distributed by Triple Vision and ST Holdings. In Moroccan, rwina means “never ending chaos”, and not sticking to the script is exactly what the label is about: pushing the global bass music scene’s boundaries further away from the center. Call it what you want in your own corner of the world, but there’s a global music scene growing… and it’s everything bass.

BIO BLIPS:

The ever-growing RWINA family is an international affair and includes a number of smaller names hob-nobbing with the big ones. Kicking things off with a nutso release by Starkey early off in his exploding career and continuing on with two hypercolour dub manifestos by the Glaswegian Taz Buckfaster and some nightmarish hip-hop from Playdoe, Rwina has gone all-out for 2010 with a blitz of jaw-dropping releases from Starkey, Eprom, SRC, Noah D, Terror Danjah and Rachet. Rwina expanded the diverse catalogue with Swindle, Bloom, 501, Doshy, Desto and another EP by Eprom in 2011.

Every single one of Rwina’s releases up to this point are worth getting, and each live in their own tie-dye world, a world as gloriously detailed and awe-inspiring as the eye-catching label artwork — seriously, some of these labels have to be seen to be believed. Couple that with a reliable ear for only the best tracks and you’ve got yourself a formidable set of twelves that would be hard to rival by any other label.

Coming out the gates is another strong EP from PropaTingz, once known as BreakBeatBuddah in older circles. His glitch hop was top notch so it’s no surprise that when he turn his attention to dubstep that he slayed and conquered the sounds.

Now, this release is so dope that our West coast friend at GetGrounded.TV stepped up and made an official video for the lead track Trap. Enjoy the video and snag that EP!

PR BLURB:

In his latest sonic excursion we see PROPATINGZ expanding on the success of last releases and pushing the boundaries of his chosen genre. “TRAP” challenges the definitions of dubstep by combining elements of Glitch, Indie Rock and live performance whilst still delivering peak hour dubstep mayhem. Propa’s vocal delivery here is reminiscent of Oasis or Blur and thematic synth stabs call to mind Pendulums recent efforts. However the presence of thick gutteral low-end will keep the dubstep aficionados satisfied and the mosh pits at full tilt.

The B side offers a surprise in store for those more familiar with Propa’s production as he goes deeper. With “Last Request” Propa again takes the vocal lead in a much more seductive affair. Rich, full and textural basslines lay the foundation whilst Propa breatherly enunciates over top. Cinematic chords and tribal samples call to mind the darker atmospherics of Massive Attack and illustrate that Propa’s skills lye not only in the dubstep rave but also in a deeper musical sensibility.

We’ve got a killer dubstep mix coming from the UK’s Kirkus, head of Execu7ion Records, MassExecu7ion Records & Hazardous Sounds which released one of Wicked Fat Noize‘s first EPs. I’ve been a fan of Kirkus for a few years now. This guy was making mad filth back with Dayn and Daladubz were still just names on myspace and dubstepforum…. kinda incredible how far the filth train has come since the early days when no label would even come close to touching that sound. Kirkus was one of those guys who took action, releasing a slew of nasty bangers.

Enjoy the mix, it’s a slammer. Plus we’ve got a FREE 320MP3 at the bottom of the page from Kirkus to sweeten the deal.

BIO BLIPS:

KiRKUS originally having produced drum and bass for several years, in 2008 Kirkus; through a friend was introduced into the heavy hitting world of dubstep . Having only burst into the community recently, Kirkus has enjoyed a huge host of releases; working with some of the best names in dubstep. Not content with merely establishing himself as a prolific producer, he has gone on to release with over a dozen record labels and launched two himself, as well as being part of a massive second dubstep team “The Abomination“.

Kirkus produces music with a twist, combining the best flavours of dubstep with myriad crisp and individual sounds, he takes the genre in a genuinely fresh direction. Mixing his signature gritty basses with a wealth of melodic to downright dirty vibes, his tracks have quickly become recognisable in clubs worldwide; repped by the biggest names in the dubstep community.

He has had release on such labels as: Ultragore, Stupid Fly, Brotown, BassPunch, Foul Play, Chronos, Execu7ion recs, Dubfrount, Dirty Circuit, Dub Cartel, Filthy Digital & Abducted recs. All releases can be found here http://www.beatport.com/search?query=kirkus&facets[]=fieldType:release

The label features himself and his partner in crime Jmanic and has enjoyed massive success through the scene. Having established themselves as a heavy hitting presence, together they created “The Abomination”. As we move into 2011 they have signed 4 new artists, Kasket, Rotek, Decree & Vylex. With all of them having successful releases on Mass-Execu7ion Records

Hazardous Sounds his newest label is featuring the best in new talent across both the dubstep and drum and bass community.

Coming red hot from Seclusiasis member is JLD #124 by Sonkin, a once Philly based artist who now resides in Brooklyn. This mix features tons of great artist, lots of which I’m feeling at the moment. The mix even tapers off at the end with some Footwork. Super hype mix from Sonkin, enjoy.

BIO BLIPS:

Leon Sonkin has worked his way to becoming a strong DJ fixture in the northeastern dubstep/street bass community. Having played with the likes of Benga, Mrk1, Rusko, Noah D, Joe Nice, Chase & Status, Benny Page, 12th Planet, Trill Bass, along with a variety of world class electronic musicians, hip hop acts and bands, Sonkin is no stranger to the crowd. Playing a heavy role in bridging the gap between live bands and the dubstep/bass community, Sonkin has found himself gracing the main stage at Baltimore’s Starscape Festival, as well as Camp Bisco and Steez Promo’s Fall Massive. Sonkin continues to expand on his sound and is soon to press further into the world of production.

Out now, and coming in loud and large from F4TMusic is a killer deep 4 track EP from our German friend INFRA. No stranger to JLD, INFRA already has two mixes in the series - JLD101 & JLD61. This EP is no joke, as INFRA delivers big time with some of the fullest deepest sounds I’ve heard in a bit.

In fact we love it so much that F4TMusic & JLD are giving away 5 FREE copies of this fantastic EP to readers of JLD. All you have to do to enter is submit a comment below saying why or what you love about this new INFRA release (either a facebook or wordpress comment). Deadline is August 10th to submit your comment below, and the winners will be announce and contacted shortly after.

Also don’t forget to grab your FREE copy of Nordik Underground. The link is at the bottom of the post.

About INFRA:

INFRA’s versatility in production provides both a lot of space for atmospheres and detail for mental explorations and relaxation, as well as severe and fearsome bass assaults filling the room with dread.
His tunes consist of solid pumping Halfstep rhythms, brought to life by analog to synthetic morphing drums and hypnotizing synth coloured atmospheres, which resonate in your head long after you hear them.

About Sonic EP:

INFRA is certainly one of the most gifted bass music producer of Berlin. If “Sentry Drone”(F4T03) showed his early drumfunk experiments, he now comes back with artillery of half step beats and homebaked bass textures: Sonic Ep. You will be introduced to the unique sound of INFRA here, dubstep prototypes straight from his biotech lab, ready to hit the chest and stimulate neurological activities. Killer !

I recently recorded a mix for our Vancouver friends at DubSelekta.com, make sure you cruise on over to their site for tons of great interviews, fresh content and a great perspective on bass culture all around.

Here is the link to the original post, please take a minute, click over and show some love for their great work. ORIGINAL POST

WORDS FROM DUBSELEKTA.COM:

Construct is easily one of the hardest working individuals that I know. He is a constant pusher of all the bass through so many mediums that I can’t imagine how he finds time to keep up with it all.

He is one of the two main men behind J’aime le Dubstep, runs a successful Tuesday night radioshow on Dubstep.FM, DJ’s regularly in Montreal and is also a great graphic designer. A man of many talents with an impecable taste in music. Known for rinsing out the best in dubstep, jungle, uk funky and various other bassy music, his sets are guaranteed movers with an ability to deliver the face melters or keep it deep and subby.

I’m really stoked to be dropping this mix as the last post before I take off on holidays, a parting gift of sorts as there won’t be much activity on the site for about two weeks. This mix gonna be part of my collection of travel mixes; another great one to add to the list of good tunes to bump while driving to your festival destination. Between the gangsta wonk opening the mix to the super dubby throughout the middle onto the juke at the end; this mix delivers.

Construct was also kind enough to provide a bit of a backstory on this mix for us:

“It’s basically my set from Evolve minus the last 30mins of slammers and facemelters. It has some of my favourite tunes from the past year and of the moment, with a big focus on making people dance and enjoy the sun.”

Be sure to head to facebook and like Construct’s page or check him out on wickedbad.net or J’aime le Dubstep for the freshest in dubstep mixes.

Alright we’ve got two mixes to offer you as part of our JLD X Label series. First on the platter tonight we’ve got SPECOPS MUSIC part 1 mixed by DJ Harp. A great mix featuring mostly all label tunes showcasing the variety of sounds coming out of SPECOPS. You’ll recognize a few names in the track list as these guys have all previously released a mix for JLD, such as JLD 89 – Kid Logic, JLD 47 – FSTZ, JLD 119 – Rx and soon to be released Sonkin.

A little about DJ Harp:

DJ Harp resides within a certain realm found between techno and dubstep. Holding down the forefront at SPECOPS Music in the Pacific NW, he certainly has the gift to both entertain you on the dance floor and blow out your headphones. Listen deeper, layers of murky gut wrenching bass lines.

More about SPECOPS Music:

Prevailing from the murky corners of the Pacific NW emerges a Bass Music label from Portland, Oregon. The main mission for SPECOPS Music will be concentrated around large menacing basslines that move the dance floor both mentally and physically. Be it from Grime, UK Garage, Dubstep, 2-Step or Broken Techno.

SPECOPS Music is distributed via all good mp3 stores:
iTunes, Beatport, Juno Download, Digital-Tunes, etc.

We’ve got another WICKEDDDD mix for you all to enjoy, JLD #121 by DJ Irk. This mix is extra big, as DJ Irk is a real pro on the 1s & 2s. I’ve had the chance to watch the man at work, live at gigs and also on my DUBSTEP.FM radio show. This guy has it in the bag! Winner of Ninja Tunes very own Cold Cut’s Solid Steel radio guest mix of the year 2010. No small feat, since everybody appearing on this show is a real master at what they do.

DJ Irk had been living in Montreal for a little bit, but is now back home in England again where he put together this very well planned & executed mix not only for JLD but co-presented on Solid Steel Radio yesterday by Cold Cut themselves. (WOW! is all I can say to that)

This mix is bad ass, so I’ll let Cold Cut take you through it:

Solid Steel in association with Serato (8th July) Irk’s back, and this time he’s on a dubstep, grime and hiphop mission, with this special collaboration mix for Solid Steel and Montreal’s bassmusic podcast J’aime Le Dubstep. We kick off with a few serious UK sounds from Durrty Goodz and BeggarFam, then hit some swirling electronic heaviness from Matta and Siriusmo. Next it’s over to the hiphop for fresh Raekwon and Beasties, plus pure wonkiness from Eprom and South London’s KeepUp! crew. And finally back to more beats and bass from the likes of Culprate and Pinch & Roska, plus Kid Koala’s The Slew project, Wick-It’s Black Keys refix and a familiar Bristol beat right at the end to tie it all up.

Do i dare say it… Possibly one of the best mixes to date in our podcast in my opinion. I think this mix as it all. Great mixing, superb flow and a variety of beats of everyone. So let’s get to it! Our second mix of the week, JLD #120 and the 8th installment from our San Francisco series comes to us from none other then UFO! This mix is soooo good, I’m actually missing a very nice day outside so that I can post it and share it with you all.

Enjoy the mix, enjoy the weather, and happy long weekend to all Canadians and Americans, or who ever else has the pleasure of having an extended time off work. I’m off to Jazz Fest!
