Wobble Wednesday [Week 19]

I went really sub heavy this week. Not heavy grit bass, but that low-end wobble people "wouldn't realize was dubstep if they didn't know any better" (pffft…okay). Of course there's something for everybody, but there are a few specifics I’d like everybody to check out. First off, Jacques Greene's new track, "On Your Side" feat. How To Dress Well, is an absolute future masterpiece. It has a groovy bassline and a moving beat. Next up on the list is Flux Pavilion's remix of Danny Byrd's "Bad Boy". It's one of those...

Kode9 - "Xingfu Lu"

"Xingfu Lu" is Kode9's first single since his 2011 Black Sun LP, but it's been worth the wait. Throughout his sets, Kode9 shows his multi-genre versatility, and after taking a leave from dubstep he's acquired a sound that is very much his own. Snippets have been doing their rounds on the internet, stirring a lot of hype, but now it's finally been released. In "Xingfu Lu", the Glaswegian-born London producer likens footwork and hip-hop to inspire a gritty, fast-paced EP. A somewhat manic roller coaster of sounds,...

Wobble Wednesday [Week 14]

Kicking it with XXYYXX, Mister Lies, and Pink Noise Ordinance this weekend was more than just an honor; it was downright amazing. These guys are at the very front of the underground future scene, spearheading the free-hand sampling game with their strange sounds and wonky song structure. When you...

London based singer/producer James Blake has been one of the U.K.’s most respected musical exports for a few years now and now his album Overgrown is due out April 9, less than a week away. Now the London crooner has has graced us with two tracks off  the album, "Take a Fall for Me"...

Helicopter Showdown & MSD - "Heaven Sent" (Synchronice Remix)

Drumstep is the hardcore kid's answer to dubstep. On the one hand we have the fast, heavy beats of drum 'n' bass. On the other is the 2/4 rhythms and full-bodied low-end waveforms. But what happens...when we COMBINE THEM?! Gold. Pure, heavy, half-step gold. That's what the fuck happens. When I...

Wobble Wednesday [Week 2]

It would appear that you, the readers, are seeking a more fair and balanced Wobble Wednesday, since the late Filthy Fridays are no longer with us (R.I.P.). This week is dedicated to FF’s memory, placing greater emphasis on the heavier side of 140 and 175. I also spent more time hunting for...

DJ Mykal & Pilot K - Steppin' Forward [EP]

DJ Mykal  has been in the music arena for more than 10 years now and is well known with his multi-identities. On the one hand, he goes by his real name, Lin Che-Yi, and has been writing music reviews for the biggest Chinese newspapers and magazines (including China Times and MCB). He was also...
