Darkstar – Automating
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
One of the reasons why I’m becoming increasingly obsessed with the whole future garage/dubstep movement is that it’s music that doesn’t play with with everybody. I’m not advocating exclusivity or anything along the lines of that. I’m just amazed by the amount of music sprouting from the [...]

Julio Bashmore

If the internet hadn’t existed, Julio Bashmore would probably have made dubstep. That’s of course a major generalization, but seeing that he’s the first house producer I’ve heard emerge from the Bristol scene, I don’t think it’s all that unlikely.
So, has he listened to bass music? Definitely. Although he doesn’t fit the conventional deep [...]

Mosca

The first real music purchase I made in 2010 was Mosca’s latest EP on the Night Slugs imprint. I couldn’t be happier with it. In many ways, this was a case of many “first times” for me. I had never listened to anything from Night Slugs before, which turns out to be an almost criminal [...]

The Rundown: Joker

2009 was truly the year where dubstep exploded. Not just in the sense that your average mainstream guy would be humming Rusko’s Kid Sister Remix (a track that’s actually used on both a tv and a radio show over here at the moment), but in the sense that a myriad of genres evolved, thrived and [...]

The Rundown: Stop What You’re Doing (James Blake Remix)

I have to admit that this was a spontaneous love affair, but my oh my is this a massive track. While Untold is quickly becoming one of my favourite producers of 2009, James Blake’s remix is absolutely face-melting. This lifts the already excellent original to new heights and heightens my expectations for Blake’s future releases.

Where’s my monkey?

That’s it. Pelski made me realize, that we can all pack our neat little vinyl collections back in our bags, uninstall Scratch Live, sell our turntables, and buy guitars. It doesn’t get any better than this. Seriously, can a mashup/remix of TC’s Where’s My Money and The Jungle Book be anything but amazing? I don’t [...]

Blunt edge

Sometimes it helps leaving out everything unnecessary. Just leaving the bare essentials sounds dangerous, but when done correctly it’s hauntingly effective. Zinc is a brilliant example. Although I’ve tried to get into his older stuff, his tendency towards tacky dubstep tunes didn’t catch me. Ok, that was fairly narrow-minded. My point is that his newer [...]

Joker @ Vega

Even though you should think that we have had our share of Joker shows in Copenhagen, he keeps on returning. We’re not complaining, though. Last night was the first time (I know, it’s crazy) I experienced Joker live, and my expectations were high. Although I can’t really figure out whether the show was fantastic or [...]

Breakage

I’m seeing Joker tonight, so what would be more natural than… posting a new Skream track. To be fair, this isn’t purely a Skream track since he’s only featured along with Breakage, but you get the point. Nice collaboration on a double-tempo mid-range track. Although it may be a bit too static if you’re picky, [...]

Fire Fly

Dubstep is on a roll right now. The harder stuff is doing better than ever, but the more melodic tunes seem to be doing just as fine. Following up where Burial left us wanting more, Clubroot takes the stage with more melancholic and rainy dubstep. Fire Fly is a haunting mix of echoes and lonely [...]
