I’ve been away for a minute but I’m back with some fresh new dubstep bangers for your ear drums.  Crank up that sub woofer and sit back and rumble to this shit.  Skream has been on the whole giving away free tunes tip lately and I gotta say I am loving it!  His 3 volumes of “Freeizm” have been well received  and he also dropped this new BANGER of a tune “Raw Dogz” via his twitter page.  This tune is straight gangsta shit with that chilling Big L sample “Pullin out gats fo’ fun!”.

Mangetic Man is the first Dubstep “supergroup” to surface and has to be one of the biggest collabs in the game to date.  Skream, Benga and Artwork are the masterminds behind this exciting new trio.  Their live show has been getting rave reviews over in the UK and Europe and we can only hope that we will see them in Toronto in the next year.  The new tune “I Need Air” is already blowing up all over the world and is in some ways carving a new “pop-step” sub genre.  The Magnetic Man album is set to be released October 4 and you can pre-order a copy at Amazon or HMV.

Last week 16 Bit passed through Toronto and just DESTROYED Wrongbar with a very diverse and high energy set.  These two young Londoners know how to throw down and this tune had the place going off.

Don’t sleep on these other two bangers as well as Bar 9 puts his chainsaw dubstep twist on a poppy UK vocal track and Matty G uses the Redman sample to perfection “Listen to my 808 BUMP!”.

Hands down THE heaviest banger of a tune I’ve heard in at least a year.  Chasing Shadows just keep cranking out the filthiest, darkest, heavy smashing beats and remixes.

Laid Blak – RED (Chasing Shadows Remix)

Flux Pavilion is on some aggressive shit.  This guys beats are like jet fueled chainsaws to your ear drums type ish.  But in a good way.

It has been unleashed.  The highly anticipated “Phaze One” EP [TEMPA049] from Benga!  This one hits hard with a nice variety tunes that will give your bass face a serious fucking workout.  Go grab the album on Beatport.

This tune has been floating around for awhile and even changed names a few times as it was dubbed “Jungle Bunny” the first time I heard it about about 6 months back.

DJ Lowcash just sent over this FIRIN’ new exclusive mixtape for the Plugged Not Thugged crew.  Had the pleasure of seeing this cat grace the decks last week in Toronto and the man has crazy energy and got the crowd moving with his upbeat style of dubstep.  Lowcash is lucky enough to know some of the big dogs over in U.K and as such has a few unreleased treats to unleash in this mix.  My personal fav is the last track “Rockstar” by Benga which I’m hoping we’ll see released some time this year. Enjoy!

Bass Music of 2009: A Year in Review…

Yesterday I was walking through a shopping mall and as I passed by the Parasuco store I was amazed as I heard Dubstep pounding out of the store speakers and into the mall concourse…. it occured to me at that point that there probably wasn’t a bigger hit in 2009 than the anthem “In For The Kill (Skream Remix)”.

Needless to say it was a big year for Dubstep as the genre exploded onto the world stage. Here in Toronto we were spoiled with headliner after headliner.  Promo companies like Embrace & 40 hz were busy bringing most of the biggest names in the game.

TOP 10 PARTIES OF 2009!!!  (Video courtesy of Matt Marek)

1.  Skream & Benga @ Wrongbar (June 2009)

2.  Rusko & Toddla T @ Mod Club (Oct 2009)

3.  Joker @ Wrongbar (Nov 2009)

4.  Bassnectar @ Wrongbar  (Nov 2009)

5.  Benga @ Mod Club (Sept 2009)

6.  Fake Blood @ Wrongbar  (June 2009)

7.  Decadence (Crookers, MSTRKRFT, Bloody Beetroots & Steve Aoki) @ Guv  (Apr 2009)

8.  Andy C @ CiRCA (March 2009)

9.  Datsik @ Suba Lounge  (Oct 2009)

10.  Roommate @ Bassment (Apr 2009)

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.

Toronto dubstep/drum n bass/electro producer Evidence is back with another MASSIVE tune “Habitual Ritual”.  In my opinion. his best dubstep creation so far.  This version of the tune is a Plugged Not Thugged exclusive  as we await its full release on Intelligenix in the fall.  You can catch Evidence spinning at one of the biggest dubstep shows of the summer: Sukh Knight Aug.8th @ Suba Lounge in Toronto.  Other local support includes  40 hz frontman Spyne (40 hz) and Sidenote (Sensoria.me). Evidence also sent us a couple other unreleased bits for you to sink your teeth into!
