This one is going to take over. After hearing it in the Magnetic Man Essential Mix I have been searching high and low looking for more info about a release date. There is a promo vinyl pressing that has been out a couple weeks in the UK but the tune is coming out on Technique Recordings [TECH068] and is set to be released Sept. 6th, 2010 in all formats.

Adam F has been known for his work in drum and bass and producing banging hip hop beats for the likes of Redman. He teams up with UK drum and bass producer Fresh to create a party rockin remix of the Dead Prez anthem “Hip Hop”.

Our good friends Sam and Biz of The Killabits shot another hot little nugget our way today, and we have decided that this special tune needs to be shared with the bassheads of the world immediately. This special tune was recently released by Universal/Republic Records, and has already racked up over 130,000 views on Youtube in less than a month. The banging track is a Killabits remix of Stephen Jerzak’s song She Said, which features Leighton Meester. Until now, the song has only been available through the Killabits facebook fanpage, but the group now wants it to be made more widely available by offering PnT the exclusive right to share this banger. This song is a great example of just how versatile the Killabits are when it comes to making heaters that draw on music from a wide variety of genres, styles and artists. I would urge all the bass lovers of the world who are planning to pass through Toronto to try their best to check one out the Killabits’ energy filled performances at a weekly Bassmentality party, thrown in conjunction with their friends Zed’s Dead. In fact, if you move fast enough you can even catch both the Killabits and Zed’s Dead rocking with Plugged Not Thugged’s Mr. Mandelephant and Billionaire on September 1st for the Bassmentality/Adrift Booty Shaking Competition at Wrongbar.

It has been a couple of months since we last posted about Terror Tone, an extremely talented and hard working producer and DJ from Toronto that has been turning heads around the world with his club-terrorizing bangers. His Snake Charmer EP on Intellegenix was very well recieved — especially in Europe — and Terror’s recent remix of Gooffee’s Fat Pound was featured as the number one recommended electro track on Juno for the month of July. Terror has become a very close friend of mine over the past year and I can honestly say he is one of hardest working producers out there — the man lives for his beats and it is hard to get the man out of his lab.
Terror Tone put together a short promotional mix for a dubstep gig He, Grizzy, SWIVL and I (Dick Diamonds) — all representing the Major Rager Fam — played at Ritual Nightclub this past Friday. The monthly bass party is called “DUBSMACK” and is thrown by the capital’s KNWLDG Entertainment group, and has been gaining heavy steam over the past couple of months. August’s DUBSMACK! party — on Friday the 13th — was pumped up by the Rager Fam into a energy-filled mega-rager rammed with sweaty bodies that just didn’t give a fuck about anything other than shaking to heavy bass-lines that would blow over the elderly in a hurry. To see some of the sick pictures from last Friday’s jam, click here.
Terror Tone also sent us his previously unreleased tracks Die for You — which samples the DnB classic ‘Up All Night’ by John B — and a grimey Barletta edit of Shake to share with our readers. I have also included a hot little number called ‘She’s a Slut’ by our deadlocked dubaholic Grizzy, who always brings that hyper-type energy to every jam he annihilates. Check out these nasty Terror Tunes then plan your trip to Ottawa on September 10th, because trust me, the next DUBSMACK we hit will be well worth it! It’s going to be another all out invasion by the Major Rager fam!

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!”.

Plugcast 004 comes in from Montreal’s multi-talented DJ/producer/blogger Matthew Hiscock. This fantastic mix comes packed with some fresh future-dub vibes from my beloved hometown with tunes from Hissy Fit (Hiscock’s production moniker), Skinnybones and Bowly (all Montreal natives) as well as Headhunter & Invisible’s ultra-infectious Love Dup from from the always incredible Soul Motive camp!
From 2004 to 2007 Matthew ran Bodega Records with releases that garnered support from Lee Burridge and James Zabiela among others and now runs the Make Some Bass blog which features interviews on the production techniques used by some of our favorite heads (Bok Bok, Dubbel Dutch, ID & Baobinga). Cutting to the chase now… take it away Matthew.

If you’re feeling this, be sure to check the remix he did for ID & Baobinga here. Awesomely, Matthew has decided to dedicate this mix to a Ontario’s John Pruyn who had his artificial leg ripped off by police during the G20 (and subsequently got thrown into a cell). Read about this here… absolutely ridiculous.
The Bulldogs are a grimy dubstep/cyberpunk group out of Berlin, Germany which packs a serious punch that will leave your dome piece scrambled. They have a very strange sound that at times feels almost asynchronous, but once you wrap your head around their unique production style it becomes pretty freaking cool and you really begin to appreciate how wicked their production is. I also found out from doing some research that these guys play their shows live using things like analog synths and either live drum kits. Cryptic Motherfucker is an absolutely awesome tune from their upcoming album, scheduled to drop later this year on Audio Phreaks. The quality of this file is lacking, but the tune is bonesnappingly good. I also urge you to check out an interview the Bulldogs did with Knowledge Magazine while blasting this sample of The LPO50 Flamethrower, soon available on Audio Phreaks.

Figured I would also throw up Broken String, an older tune that I just love by the UK`s Tek-One. I love the heavy punches and drawback synths that follow the rolling drums at 00:54. Greasy, and only available on vinyl.

Wow. I really do not know what to say this time. Barletta consistently impresses me with the sheer number of dirty remixes he can make in a week, and frankly it sometimes makes me kind of sick to my stomach. Well this week we were pummeled by heavy production fire and wave after wave of file movements. Just as the dust began to settle and we thought the Barlettzkrieg was over, the BRLTA-52 bomber dropped a megatron nugget of epic proportions on us. Leezy passed me what I think is perhaps his best work ever, a re-dub of Zed’s Dead’s Give Me Shelter Remix – and let me tell you, this slab of filth is fresh off the bloody meat rack. This is the HEAVIEST track I have heard in a long fucking time, and once again Plugged Not Thugged is honoured to be the first blog to drop this firestorm onto the internet. Toronto is on fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirreeeeeeeeee!!!

The 2010 Glastonbury Festival Essential Mixes are out and they are absolutely dynamite! Recorded live on BBC Radio hosted by Annie Mac these 4 mixes are packed with the most exclusive new music in a multiple of genres. The Skream set is absolutely disgusting (5 minute mark = ding, mars).

Here is a small but extremely potent taste of Flux Pavilion’s upcoming remix of the song Cracks by the UK’s Freestylers. Not suprisingly, this remix makes use of some of the producer’s signature sounds such as tempest blown chimes and his infamous “screeching lazer synths” which can rip a face right off the skull. This tune is gonna be a mega-stinker when the full version drops later this summer on Never Say Die records. Save your quarters, you will need to go to the laundry after listening to this filthy beat bomb.
