Drop this...

Ive been a fan of Drop The Lime for a long time now. I mean lets face it the guy is amazing he sings he makes awesome music and he's a world class dj. That being said for some reason this song still managed to blow me away. Real talk.

B. Trait's Digital Soundboy Mix

Yumm0! The blonde blunt banged bombshell DJ B. Traits just dropped a mix packed full of juicy tracks from the Digital Soundboy label. For those who don't know, Digital Soundboy was founded by Shy FX in 2005 for one purpose only - to release music he likes, and he likes a lot of drum & bass. Personally I've been a fan of Digital Soundboy from the second it was formed and have been listening to their sporadic podcasts for years. It's beautiful to see a new mix coming out from them, full of old and new tracks to skank to.

Check out a recent article on Digital Soundboy here

My favourite sad but true quote from the article:
"People have to come and give D&B a kick up the arse. I don't think D&B is dead by the way, I just think people have got a bit lazy with it." - Shy FX

Time to step it up a notch, producers!

Rusko - Hold On

Brand new video for Rusko's Hold On just dropped. Its simple, yet a real testament to just how far he has come in this game. The crazy thing is he is moving up and up and up still! HOLD ON!

House You Tuesday

Zombie Disco Squad are two incredibly talented young Djs from London, well known for their infamous GET RUDE parties and versatile dj-sets. Heres a couple of their jams you'll need in your arsenal.

Groove Armada – Paper Romance (Zombie Disco Squad remix)

Kasper Bjørke – Alcatraz (Zombie Disco Squad Remix)

Enjoi!

Ye Is Back!

For the first time since the whole Taylor Swift ish Mr. West steps back on stage. He dropped into nothing short of a massive thunderous reaction on Jiggas "Run This Town". Which really goes to show the man can do no wrong. I endorse Kayne in a big big way and while the whole Taylor Swift thing was a bit much I applaud Kayne to the fullest because he always says exactly whats on his mind. How in todays age of mass produced plastic people crankin' out "hits" they didnt even write and sometimes didnt even sing can you not fully respect that.

7 tracks for the 7 days of the week!

IT'S MONDAY!!!

...yuck.

On the bright side, the sun is shining, weather is sweet and hopefully these tunes will make you want to move your dancing feet ;)

This track preview is brought to you by the dynamic trio that call themselves Magnetic Man. The group consists of Skream, Benga, and Artwork, all of whom I'm sure need no introduction. They are signed to Columbia records and I cannot wait for their album to drop! Make sure to pick up a copy when it's released!

I Need Air by sammoirmusic

ps. Here's another new track by Magnetic Man. LOVE the synth line, soo catchy, and the drops are ridiculous. However, I think the rest could use a little work. Something is lacking. What do ya think?

MAD by SKREAMIZM

Moving along, we have a new Mim0sa remix for those of you who like things on the glitchier side. This track is sick, not to mention FREE so turn up the bass and enjoy!

Kryptonite by Purple Ribbon All-Stars (MiM0SA ReMaSH) by TigranMiMoSA

Next up we have a couple new remixes by the Canadian duo The Killabits. These guys have had my attention for a minute now. Hailing from Toronto, they represent one half of Bassmentality. Bassmentality is the brain child of The Killabits and Zeds Dead, another Toronto Based production duo. The night is held at Toronto's Wrong Bar, and features both groups as well as some local and international talent. Check out their myspace if you're feelin' these tracks:)

We all love Major Lazer, and this remix is dope.

Major Lazer- Never good enough (The Killabits remix)

Yet another remix of Poiriers "wha-la-la-leng". The Killabits picked up the tempo on this one and I'm definitely enjoying it!

Poirier feat. Face- T - Wha-la-la-leng (The Killabits Remix)

Drum N Bass producer Netsky brings us this next track. The drop at 1:28 = heaven. Just sayin'.

Netsky- Escape feat. MC Darrison( Official Promo)

last but not least...

Tek-one - Break Me Down

It's nice to see some scientific expertise going into street crimes. Plus the music in this video is really dope. Make sure you check it out!

When does something become so eastern it's western?

This is a ditty by LH1 out of Manchester. A growing hot bed of Dubstep that's leading the charge of artists coming from central and northern England; Look out London. LH1 seems to be a bit of a sleeper with his World-Dubstep beats, but judging by the number of Soundcloud comments he's received, definitely one to look out for in the near future.

Now, your probably wondering who this new face on the blog might be. Well, I'm your friendly, neighborhood Ten-O. One of the newer members of the Oh Snap family, but really a techno-klutz that never quite learned how to sign on and operate a blog. (I know. It seems easy now)

In the future, I look to provide this blog with perspective on the burgeoning bass scene. A look at Glitch and IDM, as well as new directions in Dubstep and DnB.

GET YOUR MIX ON-CATURDAY EDITION

First up, one of the most talked about producers of 2010, this nice young lad from Manchester has managed to kick off his career at the speed of light (illum sphere=”shining ball of light”): with the highly-praised album “Long Live The Plan” with remixes from Ikonika and Samiyam last spring, a BBC 1xtra music award, performance at Low End Theory, a solo EP on Martyn’s label 3024, and of course an invitation to Red Bull Music Academy 2010.

Grind Time - Dizaster

Grind Time is the world's number hiphop/rap battle league. I admittedly slept on this whole scene/league for a min but after Skribble Jam went south these hommies kept it all rollin. They have turned Grind Time into the single biggest player in the game of hiphop battles. If you happened to follow SJ things have changed a bit since but these are some serious battles. Im going to do a few features on some of the more note worthly and prolific characters from this scene, trust me theres alot of them.


Dizaster hails from LA and has that city along with many more around the world on lock. Hes simply is one of the best in the game, check the footy below and see for yourself!


Dizaster slays the former king of SJ Thesaurus



One of my favorite battles with Dizaster. This was a close one!



Drop into 2010 on NYE impromt to battle due to a no show from Jin [look it up].



2010 diz still killin it.

Dat New New

Head to the Bassnectar site to pick up the new Bassnectar track.. a remix of Sleigh Bells' "Run the Heart". It became available for download yesterday on the site. Up until then I had only heard a 2 minute preview, and I assure you those two minutes had been stuck on repeat. I'm pretty stoked that the full release is out now, and best of all... IT'S FREE!! My only complaint would be that I wish the track was longer, but what can ya do!

Here's the preview, in case you aren't convinced just yet.
