I’ve been waiting for this one to surface since I first listened to the Major Lazer Essential Mix back in July 2009. The catchy hook sung by Collie Buddz has been ringing in my head on repeat for way too long. Toronto can get ready for the return of MAY-JAH LAY-ZAH on Saturday April 24th as Embrace continues to set the pace with another huge party at Sound Academy which also features Drop The Lime.

Hailing from South London, Distance is widely regarded as one of the early pioneers in the Dubstep movement. He has a very distinct sound that has helped shape the genre into what it is today. Back in 2007 his album “My Demons” (released on Planet Mu) had a huge impact on myself and opened my eyes to this exciting new music genre that was bubbling up. Since then I’ve been excited to hear each and every release from this versatile producer. After having a quick glance at his myspace page, it appears Distance is going to be playing in Toronto on Friday April 16th!!!! (Which just so happens to be the same night as the Excision party being thrown by Embrace…hmmmm SICK!).
Check out his new track “Menace” released on his very own label “Chestplate”.

This tune almost made my top 10 of 2009 and has really grown on me over time. You need some nice subs to really roll this out one properly.

Back in 2007, Distance showed his versatility with his “My Demons” album on Planet Mu. This mellow and ambient track really caught my attention:

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!
…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.
