LISTEN UP :: Dubstep Is Like A Girl I Used To...

"Dubstep is like a girl i used to fuck... most nights i can't stand to be in the same room with her ...but you remind me of why i used to fuck that bitch."   - Homie Kurt <Facebook>

NastyNasty is, hands down, one of my all-time favorite Electronic music creators. He was the first DJ to turn me on to the more Crunk, Glitchy, Future Bass sound that has recently gained a HUGE amount of attention from fans, listeners, DJs and producers in the Electronic music community. The man's talent and creativity are undeniable.  

Some of you may have seen the short post I did a few months ago, which featured NastyNasty. If you never got the chance to, you can find it here. Annnd now, for your listening pleasure...below you will find a few of my favorite NastyNasty tracks, two of which are available to download for free, as well as some free downloads made available by NastyNasty via his Facebook fanpage. I guarantee, that before the first track is finished playing, you'll be gettin' dowwwn on the floor Mama Ana stylee ;)

... 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.

For more info visit the Bloc Festival 2011 site here. Also, check out the Spacelab Festival Guide

and the BLOC Weekend festival overview for a complete lineup. And most importantly, buy your Bloc Festival 2011 tickets here.
