LISTEN UP :: ENTER THE DUBSTEP VOL 2 / BRAND NUBIAN.

On November 29th, 2010, iHipHop Distribution issued a press release with info relating to "Enter The Dubstep Vol. 2"...

FrankRadio and iHipHop Distribution are proud to announce the highly anticipated follow-up to 2009’s “Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture: Enter The Dubstep Vol. 1.” On December 21st, the freshest sounds in underground electronic music will once again encounter the classic hip-hop stylings of yet another foundational group of legends: Brand Nubian.

After the wild success of Vol. 1, it only felt right for its producers and A&R’s to embark on a new journey down the same road. Brand Nubian holds a unique position in hip-hop history. Universally respected as pioneers of a new way of thinking during the “golden-era” moment of the early 90’s, Brand Nubian’s political, social and cultural messages were delivered with a heavy dose of hardcore. With this 2nd installment in the ground-breaking series, “Enter The Dubstep” continues to trailblaze the collaboration between Dubstep and Hip-Hop, bringing hard bass and gritty lyrics together as none have done before. As Dubstep continues to push itself into mainstream ears, this album continues to push the boundaries of both genres.

LISTEN UP :: EGYPTRIXXED.

From Mishka's Bloglin, 

If I haven't emphasized it enough, I am a sucker for really anything slapped with the label of Night Slugs on it. They can do no wrong and their backing of Toronto-'bassed' (get it?) beatmaker, Egyptrixx (real name: David Psutka), is no exception to the rule. Like many of the 'Slugs', Egyptrixx teeters between genres but never seems to shy away from the bassweight.

His sound is within the realm of the future funky movement, heavily influenced by both garage and hip-hop. Truly, this strain of dubstep is very far off from what most consider the genre to be – but his bass tendencies definitely earn him a spot among the elite. Dude can also cook up some mean samples and percussion to get your ass on the floor… proof enough that he is most definitely a dancefloor technician.



To start this one off, I've got a featured interview from Scion A/V – the video features an interview of Egyptrixx by John Dadzie (AKA 12th Planet) – the discussion scans through Egyptrixx's raver days, his respect for Phoetek, Africa and drum metal.

While Egyptrixx's releases are a bit scattered and shared between some smaller labels, he's made his biggest impact within the last year with the help of his recruitment to the Night Slugs team. His highly-acclaimed EP, The Only Way Up, featured only two original productions and three remixes from some of his finest labelmates (Kingdom, Ikonika, and Cubic Zirconia). Below you can check out the release's title track…



Egyptrixx is quite a master at the art of remixing, as well. To be honest, that is how I caught wind of him in the first place – his remix of Dev79′s "In Ya Face" was recommended to me by a friend, and I was really blown away by his different take on the bass sound. I have been really diggin' on his refix of Serious Saturday alum, Starkey and his latest single "Robot Hands" – which you can check out over at XLR8R.

Following the success of his slew of remixes and EP, Night Slugs has announced the forthcoming full-length release for Egyptrixx – entitled Bible Eyes. With a tentative release date of February 9th, this one is definitely going to be one of the more highly anticipated albums within the bass culture for early 2011.



In the meantime why don't you check out the visually stunning video for the album's opener, "Start From the Beginning" to get the anticipation building.

LISTEN UP :: MISHKA BLOGLIN / BEST OF 2010.

From Mishka's Bloglin, 

It used to be that EPs were considered "less than." A precursor to an album, an unfinished work, a place for cast off tracks that didn't quite fit anywhere else. But times, they are a changin'. We now live in a world built around instant gratification, where the ability to know what someone is doing at any given time is considered not an intrusion but a standard. We've all seen how this paradigm shift has affected the music industry.

The internet has made the release of music easier than ever, with independent artists able to work closely with boutique labels, or even self-release their work. From a consumer perspective, this is certainly an exciting yet daunting development. Though the access to new music is essentially limitless, choosing which artists to listen to has become borderline stressful. Especially when confronted with a full length LP, many listeners may choose to skip over a new artist that they haven't heard of, simply because there is no time to spare.

With LP sales becoming a less and less viable commercial option, artists have taken to releasing multitudes of tracks online, seemingly at random. In an environment in which "stardom" can be determined by a blog or a retweet, artists are clamoring for any foothold. Tracks are nice, but music is not at a point (nor am I sure it will ever be) where we want to (or should) move beyond collections of songs. So we have the EP: the black sheep made paragon.

2010 has seen young artists embrace the EP like never before, with many of the most buzzed about bands having yet to release a full length. But these EP's are not the samplers of yesteryear; rather, they are fully realized and polished packages, simply shorter. It's almost a game: to try and distill your sound into the strongest 15-25 minutes possible, to leave the greatest effect over the shortest time.

With some artists (James Blake and Zola Jesus to name a few) releasing multiple EP's in a year, it has done nothing to diminish artist output. It instead has just organized it into easily consumable packages. Freedom from the LP has allowed artists to present works that are stronger separated from the padding that is so often shoehorned into albums. For many emerging genres (Witch House, Future House), the EP has become the vehicle of choice to convey their music and ethos: short and sweet.

To create our top 25 list, all of our music bloggers/reviewers were asked to submit their own individual lists of their top 15 EPs for the year. Then based on their individual rankings and frequency of appearances across multiple lists, our master Bloglin top 25 EP list was created. So, without further adieu, here are The Мишка Bloglin's picks for the Top 25 EP's of 2010.

... BLOC FEST 2011 ...

 March 11 - 13

Butlins Resort, Minehead

Last year, the Bloc Festival featured acts such as: Salt-n-Pepa, Grandmaster Flash, Roots Manuva, Derrick May, and many more.

This year, the 5th anniversary of the fest, will feature acts such as: LFO, Moderat, Vitalic, Joy Orbison, Seth Troxler, Claude Von Stroke, Beardyman, Dopplereffekt, Digital Mystikz, and Black Devil Disco Club. Most recently added to the lineup are: Modeselektor, DJ Funk, A Guy Called Gerald, and Sirusmo. As the fest kick-off dater grows closer, even more acts will be announced.

For all my bass heads out there, I think it is of utmost importance that I mention the fact that there will be a dubstep stage called "Modeselektion," which of course will be curated by Modeselektor, and feature perfomers such as: MAGNETIC MAN, Ben Klock, Ramadanman, Ikonika, Apparat and Siriusmo. 

As I was exploring the Bloc Festival site tonight, I found this recent announcement, 

Chart-topping dubstep futurists Magnetic Man will be topping the bill for Bloc 2011 in a double headline spectacular with the legendary Aphex Twin. The Croydon sound of dubstep has come a long way since we first invited Skream to smash Bloc apart back in 2008. Every time it’s developed, evolved and mutated these guys have been right there at the lasersharp, cutting edge – and have become superstars along the way. Skream, Benga and their mentor Artwork are a hell of a big noise for Bloc – this will be the first time we have hosted their mesmerising live show – and what a perfect fifth birthday headline show for our Bloc family.

LISTEN UP :: Beats Antique / There Ya Go.

BEATS ANTIQUE - THERE YA GO.

CWG Magazine 

By CWG Admin 

Dec 8, 2010

Growing like wildfire under the canopy of live electronica and world roots music comes a masterful merge of modern technology, live instrumentation and seductive performance, built of brass bands and glitch, string quartets and dubstep: the musical trio Beats Antique.

Since the group’s inception from the eclectic underground of San Francsico’s performance art scene, Beats Antique has been notorious for making it nearly impossible to sit still. They meld their mediums as attentively as they fuse the cultures that inspire their sound. All self produced and composed, the trio creates a unique collage: an animalistic, raw musical event that blurs the lines between the provocative, the spiritual, and the artistic, while still maintaining an allegiance to the muses of class and beauty.

The journey that led to Beats Antique today was a winding and twisted path from the west coast to the ancient trade routes of the silk road. In this modern incarnation, the musical alliance of producers David Satori and Tommy Cappel is inspired and emphasized by their collaborative partnership with world-renowned belly dance performer and music producer Zoe Jakes.

David Satori and Tommy Cappel both trained classically before venturing to locations such as Bali, West Africa, Serbia and beyond. With extensive backgrounds in multicultural music production, and the passports to prove it, Satori and Cappel command the spectrum of live and digital instrumentation, born from Hip Hop and old school jazz.
