I’m going to take you back now to the roots of dubstep. Before there was Doctor P and Flux Pavilion, before Excision, before the bass melted your face, the minimalist dub was in. It was something you grooved to, something that you allowed to wash over your body; a bass ocean calmly putting you out at sea.
So it is with Setspeed, Bassmusicblog's newest addition, and such a new group I couldn't even find a myspace page. Coupled with a forthcoming release on Boka offshoot Saigon, Setspeed is quickly becoming a hit, so I was happy to see their newest two-bleep release find its way into my inbox to share with you all. Remember guys, support the artist and buy it if you like it.
It's been quite too long since the last Goodie Bag, and I plan on making up for lost time.
We're going to start things off right with Breakage's newest remix. As you know Breakage is famous for his melodic minimalist style (which in other forms of electronic music wouldn't be all that minimalist), the style that attracts veteran dubstep listeners as well as new dub heads. This time he remixes Clare Maguire and makes her groove in a way only he can. Watch out for the official release on October 18th, and big ups to Discodust for posting it first.
Continuing on with the spirit of the last bleep comes one of Omega's newest bootlegs. It's got a mellow-step (or whatever) vibe to it that I'm totally digging.
Definitely not something you see every day is a free giveaway on Beatport. However, recently I found a little remix that The Bloody Beetroots did given away for nothing as part of the 'Focus On France' release. It's not their best work, but it still blends together disco with electro in such a way that makes you like a deer in the headlights; frozen in place, waiting for the inevitable slam to hit you in the face.
It's been a while since I've posted anything on Haezer. The man is famous for pioneering his own unique take on electro thrash, and he recently gave away a little bleep in perfect 320 that is different from his usual style. I'm a bit late with this one, but get it if you haven't already.
Udachi gave away this little bleep for free on his soundcloud. It goes back and forth between 70's TV show disco themes to dark, dank dubstep in the spirit of Skream's old stuff. Grab this one up now.
I want to take a little bit of time and blog space here to talk about Nero. Daniel Stephens and Joe Ray hail out of the great city of London, the place where, arguably, dubstep was born. Originally a DnB artist, their first huge hit came from remixing 'Blinded By The Lights' from The Streets. This little bleep was so big it almost singlehandedly transformed dubstep from an underground genre that was hardly heard, to a worldwide phenomenon in electronic music.
Since then, it seems Dan and Joe have had the midas touch, remixing everyone from Deadmau5 to N.E.R.D. I know that whenever I see they have a new release, I get excited because they have a reputation of excellence. Their newest remix of Plan B is no exception. Recently, released exclusively to Discodust (who is posting dubstep on the regular, to my surprise and pleasure) Nero's remix shows you what they do. They don't have to take their music in a new direction or change up their style because they deliver. Every time.
One of the reasons I love keeping up this blog is finding new artists to share with you all. Be prepared for one of the more unique styles of DnB and dubstep out there.
Enter Nikoi (aka Mr Amenbreak) out of Kingsbury. The guy goes all over the place, blending the old, minimalist style of dubstep with DnB, among other things. Although you won't hear his like almost anywhere else anymore, his music is quite listenable, and from what I can tell, is a new take on the genre's. It's good to know that there is diversity out there. It is artists like Nikoi that push the envelope on what is good and interesting.
Make sure to follow Nikoi on his soundcloud page for future productions to broaden your mind and your perspective.
Yes people it is that time again. Despite being sick with a head cold, I'm still here to broadcast to you all on KRUU 100.1fm, the voice of Fairfield, IA and beyond.
This week features a number of exciting new bleeps from Nero (who I will be doing a big post on soon), Breakage, Danger, and c-Rok, one of my favorite electro house cover artists.
It's been a good while since my last post, and I'm sorry for that. A combination of internet problems at home coupled with wicked flu-bug that had me out cold has made it near impossible to do any blogging for the last week or so. However, I've been steadily accumulating bleeps through that time to share with you guys and I'm getting full to bursting.
We'll bring it back with a brand new remix from NAPT, one of my all time favorite break-beat artists. They come back with a vengeance with a re-rendering of Daft Punk. Let the N-Funk rain.
Watch out for NAPT's forthcoming single "Emotion", out on Funkatech Records later this year with remixes from DnB heroes Brookes Brothers and house stars Reset!.
I guess the title of this post kinda says it all. One of my favorite easy listening trance bleeps of all time has just been remixed into dubstep. High Rankin does an amazing melodic dub remix of Motorcycle's "As The Rush Comes." Candy to my ears, but don't take my word for it. Download it and decide for yourself.
