From The Pixies to Modern English to low end dubstep

If you ever sit back perusing this site and wonder to yourself, “Self, I wonder what kind of music this bizarre Mr. Mundt enjoys on his downtime?” Well if I were there next to you I’d pull over an ottoman, smile knowingly, and in a comforting voice I would begin to tell you a story. […]

Dick Dastardly gets heavy on the dubstep

Normally I like to begin my weekend with some bangers (read: mixtapes) to get me in the mood for the weekend’s festivities. I share these with you in the hopes that it will help pump your weekend up with some new jams or much needed energy.  Hopefully it puts you in my headspace and we […]

One of Dubstep's premier DJs drops debut LP

Review by Dick Dastardlee I’m never one to search for flaws in musical genres I admire, let alone towards pioneers who are so brave as to progress the evolution of the art, but something about Caspa’s latest release, Everybody’s Talking, Nobody’s Listening, left me feeling a bit empty (out November 24 on Fabric/Sub Soldier). 2009 […]


If you asked me to wax poetic about my love of Wu Tang Clan, I’d deliver a handsome leatherbound 1,200 page tome to your doorstep with a 24-karat gold W embossed on the cover. They blew my mind in the mid-90s, made me switch from blue Champion hoodies to black ones, and created an entire […]

Bells, ripples, squawking birds and whining violins unite

XLR8R just put up a really cool video where they followed around Seattle producers Dave Pezzner (a.k.a. Pezzner) and Jeff McIlwain (a.k.a. Lusine) to record a track using mainly field recordings. They take a light-rail train to the Seattle waterfront and record what they find — including the bells of the train, a weird Chinese […]

UK's bass ambassador hits LA tonight at Discotheque

IF you lived anywhere in the UK, telling you who Annie Mac is would be as redundant as telling you who…well…I guess there is no one in America comparable, because we simply don’t have the same affinity for DJs and radio as they do in the land of trainers and crumpets. There, BBC Radio 1 […]

Plastician headlining the dubstep celebration

LA has one of America’s best dubstep scenes, and that’s in large part due to the SMOG crew. They’re celebrating their 3-year anniversary this Saturday and it looks to be a banger, with the incomparable Plastician headlining (remember when we posted his filthy mix a couple months back?). If you’re looking to sweat through your […]

More bass than is legally sanctioned in Western Civilization

Rinse FM‘s South London selector Plastician threw up this free mix on his MySpace page and it is pure horrific, dirty filth. Amazing heat — this is one of the best dubstep mixes since I dunno, maybe even Caspa & Rusko’s FabricLive mix. If you like bass music and you haven’t heard this, stop reading […]
