Toronto Funky Volume 2

Freeza Chin and Plain English just sent over the second installment of their Toronto Funky mixtape series. With 31 heaters of pure funky rhythm and bass and a track list sweatier than Betty’s tits, this one is not to be missed. In fact, we liked the last Toronto Funky mix / event so much that we just had to invite the duo out to play at the March 6th installment of our monthly Major Rager co-op. If you can’t wait that long (which you shouldn’t), be sure to check the next installment of their very own monthly at Toi Bar next Friday, February 26th.

TORONTO = DUBSTEP

lightning_storm_cn_tower_03b

Dubstep has arrived in this fine city of ours and there is one promotion company that is absolutely TRAIL BLAZING their way through the end of 2009.  Embrace has gone ahead and booked some of the biggest dubstep dons in the game today and I am absolutely ecstatic for the next few months in Toronto!

Benga (Sept.18th @ Mod Club), Skream (Sept.27th @ Wrongbar), Martyn (Oct.4th @ Wrongbar), Rusko (Oct.9th @ Mod Club), Caspa (Nov.1st @ Wrongbar), Bassnectar (Nov.26th @ Wrongbar), Joker & Nomad (Nov.29th @ Wrongbar).

Ungh.  Better save up your pennies!

Here is an interesting pairing, Eve and Benga.  I love how Benga re-worked this tune with a very catchy and funky beat.

Eve – Me N My (Benga Remix)

And staying on the remix tip, here are a couple other smashers you should already know about:

Kyza – Go (Bar 9 Remix)

Dizzee Rascal & Armand Van Helden – Bonkers (Doorly Remix)

…and if that ‘aggressive’, ‘in your face’ style isn’t your cup of tea, then check out this amazing Burial Remix of Jamie Woon’s “Wayfaring Stranger”.  Very atmospheric and chilled the fuck out.  Love it.

Plugged Not Thugged presents a new dubstep mix from Evidence and myself.   Some HUGE tunes dropped in this mix so check it out!  It’s hot off the press having been recorded only a couple of hours ago, so I thought I’d throw it straight up on the blog.  You can catch Evidence spinning at the Sukh Knight party Aug.8th @ Suba Lounge.
