Egyptrixx – The Only Way Up (Ikonika Remix)

Being from Toronto, I can’t believe I didn’t know about Egyptrixx sooner. I just came across Egyptrixx’s remix EP, “The Only Way Up” on Boomkat, and was hooked right away. For me, the absolute killer mix is by UK’s rising star on the dubstep scene, Ikonika (on Hyperdub). It takes the cosmic sublime original and [...]

Best of 2009 – Shingo

It was definitely one of the most colourful years in a long time. In music however, 2009 was truly incredible, dominated by solid edits, new directions in dubstep, infectious indie melodies, tech-ier house, or slowing down the beat. I didn’t mind pulling all-nighters, thanks to some pretty dope podcasts from both East Village Radio (Authentic [...]

Fostercare for Disco Balls

Beautiful and haunting (as always) new Burial track that comes to us from the new Hyperdub compilation 5: 5 Years of Hyperdub. Also on this comp are Joker, Flying Lotus, Kode9, Martyn, The Bug, and many others. I definitely want this! Here’s the Flying Lotus track that appears on the comp: -MissRuckus

Gimme Mo’ Bass Culture

Yes! Who is this kid? Here’s an old article [...]

dubstep wobblers and bassbin shakers!

Ok, so MissRuckus and Shingo have both said their piece on dubstep in previous posts….so now it’s time for I, urbansteve to weigh in heavily.  Afterall, I’ve been excited about this stuff since 2006 when I heard the wobbly, mystical sounds of Qawwali by Bristol dubstepper, Pinch. Listen: So for those who are unsure of what [...]

Today's record haul

Got some new records today! Now that I have Serato, it’s somewhat harder to decide what I should buy on vinyl, and what I should just get digitally. Well, this is the wax I decided to pick up today (click on album covers to learn more): -MissRuckus

Burial meets Four Tet

New 2-track single featuring a collaboration between Burial and Four Tet. I am wanting this on vinyl! Pretty easy (maybe) to guess which parts were contributed by Four Tet and which by Burial… (July 6th update: Scored it on vinyl!) Moth: Burial & Four Tet – Moth (TEXT06) by RED7 Wolf Cub: -MissRuckus

If you’re haunted and you know it, clap your hands..

Move along, nothing to see hear. That’s right, I said hear. No video, just aural pleasure. This track is beautiful, yet haunting at the same time. The whole album is worth a serious listen but this one’s my fave. -MissRuckus
