Bass Music of 2009: A Year in Review…

DSC02462xxxxx2

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.

Deadmau5 & Kaskade – I Remember (Caspa Remix)

sbrjmp

Caspa is back with another sick remix.  This is one of those tunes you can really just chill the fuck out and vibe to, straight early mornin’ rinse out type shit.

Deadmau5 & Kaskade – I Remember (Caspa Remix)

Caspa is a huge name in the dubstep scene and is due for a stop in Toronto soon.  Lets keep our fingers crossed.

On that same chill out vibe, check this new stuff from Burial.  When it comes to that genre-bending type of sound, this is a perfect example.

Burial & Four Tet – Moth

If you don’t already know, Burial had remained anonymous until August 2008.  With rumours circulating in the UK media about who was behind the name he finally posted a picture on his myspace with a blog release saying “”I’m a lowkey person and I just want to make some tunes, nothing else.  Only 5 people know I make tunes.”  His critically acclaimed album “Untrue” is a beautiful collection of music and you should go buy it here.  My favourite drop on the album is one of those tunes you will just never get sick of.
