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.

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!”.

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.

TOP 10 PARTIES OF 2009!!!  (Video courtesy of Matt Marek)

1.  Skream & Benga @ Wrongbar (June 2009)

2.  Rusko & Toddla T @ Mod Club (Oct 2009)

3.  Joker @ Wrongbar (Nov 2009)

4.  Bassnectar @ Wrongbar  (Nov 2009)

5.  Benga @ Mod Club (Sept 2009)

6.  Fake Blood @ Wrongbar  (June 2009)

Blue Foundation is a group of musicians originating from Denmark and they have recently gained a lot of popularity with their tune “Eyes on Fire” from the Twilight soundtrack.  I was originally put on to the Zeds Dead remix when our friends over at Salacious Sound featured the Toronto duo on their blog.  Instantly I fell in love with the remix and now recently they are getting some HUGE global recognition for the track as it was featured on Skream’s Nov.11th edition of his popular “Stella Sessions”.  Recently the track was remixed again by another up and coming Toronto dubstep producer Evidence.  Putting a more mellow spin on the tune, Evidence is able to preserve the atmospheric and eerie vibe of the original.  Check em out below.

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.

Toronto dubstep/drum n bass/electro producer Evidence is back with another MASSIVE tune “Habitual Ritual”.  In my opinion. his best dubstep creation so far.  This version of the tune is a Plugged Not Thugged exclusive  as we await its full release on Intelligenix in the fall.  You can catch Evidence spinning at one of the biggest dubstep shows of the summer: Sukh Knight Aug.8th @ Suba Lounge in Toronto.  Other local support includes  40 hz frontman Spyne (40 hz) and Sidenote (Sensoria.me). Evidence also sent us a couple other unreleased bits for you to sink your teeth into!
