So as promised, here are the photos for Bassnectar’s incredible show at Metropolis last Friday. The venue was in top form that night, filled to the rafters with loyal bassheads eager to get their fix. Montreal natives Dooze Jackers set the tone for the evening, playing a great selection of tropical, moombathon, and dutch bass music that got the crowd more than ready for the opening act. These guys have been on a tear as of late, so check out…
Happy Friday everyone. For those of you were at the Bassnectar show last Friday I promise pictures are coming very soon! It was a sick show and the pictures turned out great, so stay tuned. As for the music today, I have to say that I think this was the best week for new releases in quite some time. For you all today, I have new tracks from Pleasurekraft, Congorock, NT89 and Avicii….plus a new remix from the Bloody Beetroots,…
It’s shameful that it’s taken me so long to write up a review of a release by one of my favorite artists, but better late than never I suppose. Renaissance Man Project, released at the beginning of November on Turbo records, is the latest creation of Finnish duo Renaissance Man, who I’ve praised profusely on many occasions in the past. Their new LP spans the spectrum all the way from bizzare, yet extremely creative art-house type music, to insanely catchy…
Happy Friday everyone. I hope you’re all preparing yourselves for the madness of Bassnectar @ Metropolis tonight, because this one is definitely gonna get wild. Bassnectar is making Montreal the second-to-last stop on his long North American tour, and the crowds are sure to be out in full force to show some support for the original Bass Head. I would also like to take this time to wish my fellow Americans a happy thanksgiving. In the spirit of the…
OWSLA is back in a big way with the recent release of “Kill Kill Kill,” the newest EP from LA’s Kill The Noise. Heavy bass is what we’ve come to expect from Skrillex’s OWSLA label, and this one certainly delivers on that front. This 10 track EP features six originals from KTN as well as remixes from KOAN Sound, Alvin Risk, Dillon Francis and Brown & Gammon, all serious emerging artists in EDM and dubstep in particular. Check out a…
So I was seriously slacking this weekend in terms of posting, but if you’re a student then you fully know how ridiculous this time of year can get. But enough with the excuses, I’d like to make up for my lack of posts this weekend with some great new music and videos I collected over the last few days. I have great new original songs from Knife Party, the Swedish House Mafia and the Bloody Beetroots for you all today,…
Ohhh yes, it’s that time of the year once again. The official lineups for Igloofest 2012 are out as of this morning, and we are in for some amazing nights down by the water come January. Due to the huge growth of the festival over the last 5 years, the venue for 2012 has been moved to a larger area of the Old Port capable of accommodating even more people than last year’s record turn-out of almost 60,000 spectators. The…
Happy Friday everyone, welcome to the other side of another long week. As I mentioned earlier, we have a lot of great shows coming up this month, and I’ve just updated our concert calender in accordance. On Sunday one of my favorite hip hop duos of all time, Black Star, will be stopping by La Olympia and limited tickets are still available. Get on that fast if you’re planning on going, hope to see you there. So NT89, one of…
I just got a tip about a new drum and bass duo out of London from the blog’s friend Claudia who writes over at Miss Foxy Learns to Blog. Here’s what she had to say about this new mixtape from Delta Heavy. “If you haven’t heard of Delta Heavy, why ever not? I recently got hooked to their amazingly brilliant EP ‘Hold Me’ released on Ram Label on October 24th, and featured on the free mixtape above. The music video includes…
I just got this video in my inbox today from two of my favorite underground rappers, Classified and Brother Ali. Both of these MCs have been around for a long time now, consistently putting out great music that’s way under the radar of most casual hip-hop fans. There’s something about the quiet confidence and low profile that these guys keep that for me is incredibly refreshing. Here’s Classified’s newest video for “Maybe It’s Just Me,” enjoy. Here are a few…
