Amon Tobin – Surge (16Bit Remix)

Glad I found my Sennheisers for this one! 3 awesome producers today. Check out 16Bit’s remix of Amon Tobin‘s “Surge”: Starts with a nice garage vibe and then cuts into 16 Bit‘s typical dubstep total anhiliation. The original showcases Amon’s skills as a producers mixing up patches of sounds to create a rhythm without beats. Check out the orgiginal here: Another cool remix by Two Fingers: Interesting track.. gets better after 2 mins on the...

Benga – Smack Your Bitch Up

Benga – Smack Your Bitch Up

I haven’t written a post since late November last year so this better be good hehe. I’ve really been unimpressed with the latest in what’s being produced in what they’re calling dubstep these days. Squeeks, bleeps and wobble were all great the first 500 times heard but serious originality and simplicity is lacking these days. When I first started listening to dubstep a few years back we had Skream, N-Type, Coki, Benga, Cluekid, MRK1, Loefah, The Bug, Vex’d,... 

The High Society at Miss Libertine, Melbourne

The High Society at Miss Libertine, Melbourne

I was in Melbourne this weekend and was lucky enough to see a gig that was fantastic right at the end of the trip. I read about this night: Ghetto Arts in a post on Facebook by Men Imitating Machines (more on these guys later) and was intrigued. So I went along to the gig and saw a lot of nice chilled acts for some good Sunday vibes & phat beats. The stand-out was High Society (a band recently Unearthed by Triple J featuring 7 members (including 3 MCs/Vocalists) and full...

A tonne of great tracks on Eskmo’s Myspace page too, well worth checking out. Very diverse. The production in this track is amazing. The full spectrum of EQ bands filled with blissful sounds. The video clip to Cloudlight offers vibrance...
