Sean Terriblini, better known as S-T3RRA, is an electronic music producer and DJ from San Francisco California who I met online nearly a year ago. This young and extremely personable producer released his first EP Kissing Cliche on France’s Noise Dealerz has been making waves with his interesting “horror-electro” productions – - real wicked tunes which incorporate little bits of punk, thrash and horrorcore into electro music. I asked S-T3RRA to make us an exclusive plugcast a while back and he agreed – - however, his exclusive mini mix did not meet our time requirements of 45 minutes, so we could not post the hot mix as a plugcast. Sean will get us a longer mix for the plugcast series in the near future, hopefully around the time he releases his upcoming Mandrake EP. For now, enjoy S-T3RRA’s minimix and a copy of the song Kissing Cliche off his last EP of the same name. Also, dont forget to check out some of the cool shit this guy is working on by visiting his myspace and soundcloud sites, electro smashers await.

Due to troubles experienced with the FTP server this week, I am a bit behind in posting a bunch of heated content to the blog — including this weeks plugcast (008), which features another MUM production duo known as the Tempered DJs. The DJ’s consist of two lads — Pete Stanley and Mike Knapper — who produce a generally deeper and darker blend of techno and tech house. The Tempered DJs have seen growing success since signing to MUM records in 2009, with the explosive release named the Keane’s Changed EP – - which sent ‘That Picotto Track’ flying to the 1 slot on Trackitdown’s Tech chart – and it rode high in their Top 20 Tech House Chart of the year.
Our good friends at MUM thought that it would be a good idea to have Pete and Mike send us an exclusive promo-mix to commemorate and support their latest release named The Greenhouse EP. This three song EP was released in early August and has received amazing support while selling very strongly on most internet retailers. Check out this hot exclusive mix along with a tight little collaboration MUM shot us between the DJs and Harry ‘Choo Choo’ Romero called I Want Out.

Two serious basscasts this week…
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.

Mark Knight has just rode into town pumping some nasty new tracks that are nothing less than pure fire — the kind of heat that even makes the Devil leave the kitchen. The Toolroom don just squeezed out his latest Bullets Vol 1 EP earlier this month to much fanfare — and rightfully so. The two-song EP is short but incredibly sweet and dropped just in time to springboard pool-parties and summer shakers into overdrive. Devil Walking is a hard hitting dance floor blaster with a galloping 80’s feel that will put you in a hypnotic trance and your best dancing shoes in the fucking garbage.

This Friday (April 23rd) the Plugged Not Thugged fam will be invading Suba Nightclub in Toronto for an evening of Greasy Nuggets (Facebook Event). We’ve got the talented Lucy ‘Lo From 84:85 headlining the night with support from myself, the Hotmess DJs as well as Billionaire, Ballistik and Dick Diamonds.
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!

Another Plugged Not Thugged exclusivo…
This is a little baltimore infused edit I did of Mylo’s Drop The Pressure a long ways back (circa October ‘07), sprinkled with a little mid 90’s cheese: vox cuts from Ce Ce Peniston’s Finally.
It got dusted out of the digi-crate archives my last couple of sets and people were really feelin’ it, so I thought I’d share. Basic.
