Chillin on a Good Friday (aren’t they all ‘good’?) and thought it was time to drop some heavyweight dubstep tunes.  Here are a few that have been rumbling out of my sub for the past little while.  The new Breakage album is still on heavy, heavy rotation.

Gotta love the home grown Canadian talent pushing the sounds forward in the dubstep game.  Datsik (who is from Kelowna, BC) has seen huge success in the last year with him and fellow Canadian and label mate Excision dominating the beatport dubstep sales.  Here is a wikkid stomper from the bad boy producer!

Datsik – 3 Fist Style

Here’s a relatively new bit from Chase & Status which features a dark and grimey bass line mixes with some techy futuristic synths.  Any time these guys produce dubstep I am always excited to check it.

A new remix from Skream as he reworks Zomby’s Float. He is really been coming out with a lot of this old school style drum and bass / garage type sound and I think its rad as fuck.  I love the catchy Aaliyah sample in this.

And last but not least, Joker continues to bring the funk with another huge track Tron.  This one is spaced the fuck out, I love it!

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.

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.
