dsub — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:47:57 +0000

Eskmo is one of the few producers making music at 140bpm that is completely unmistakable. His tunes are musical, organic sounding, and ten times heavier than any of those ‘brostep’ guys; yet he achieves this with 1/10th the notes. Class.

Here’s the breathtaking video for his new single for Ninja Tune, ‘Cloudlight’.

Eskmo’s full length drops on Ninja Tune in October, and you can check him out live at Wonder Bar in Allston on October 27.

You may have missed : Robot Koch – Hard to find

dsub — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:57:45 +0000

This was one of my favorite tracks of 2009. I opened many a gig with this tune, and it always set the heads in motion. This was on Robot Koch’s debut LP “Death Star Droid” (highly recommended!) and also was featured on the Muti Music compilation “An-ten-nae Presents Acid Crunk Vol. 2″. Death Star Droid spawned an excellent remix EP, with great remixes from the likes of Loops Haunt, Flako, Shlomo and Blue Daisy. Robot Koch’s new LP, “songs for trees and cyborgs” is expected in October.

First the Bad News:

We just got the confirmation that Loefah had to cancel his US tour due to some unforeseen circumstances at the border. Another tour is already being planned and Boston will be on it….

Now the Good News:

DJ G has arrived from SF and is ready to give the sound system a proper working this evening. We’re also keeping tonight’s cover at $5 all night long. So please join us for night of serious stateside home grown beats from San
Francisco’s own DJ G!

A little info on DJ G:

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Dean J. Grenier A.K.A DJG landed in the world of Dubstep in 2007 with his first 12″ “Shadow Skanking” b/w “Joyful Sound” on Narco.Hz. Immediate support on Rinse FM and in the clubs from DJ’s like N-Type propelled DJG to the forefront of American dubstep producers early in his career. High-profile releases continued in 2008 with his track “Lower 8″ released on Tes La Rok’s Noppa label, and with his track “Bender”s selection as Pressing Issues 002 by the populace on dubstepforum.com. In total, DJG had 5 releases in his first year as a dubstep producer.

DJG’s production style is richly melodic, emotive while full of groove and energy. Recognized early on for a more dubwise sound, DJG’s recent productions have revealed an evolution in his music, getting deeper into bass-heavy, tech-drenched, soulful tracks like the much-anticipated February ‘09 release “Bunker” b/w “Apophenia” on Tube10 and the forthcoming “The Gate” b/w “Obsessed” on Lo Dubs. DJs ranging from Mary Anne Hobbs, N-Type, Joe Nice, Pinch, Headhunter, Skream, RSD, 2562, Djunya, Random Trio and many more have been supporting DJG’s recent and forthcoming releases on labels Narco.Hz, Subway Recordings, Tube10, Lo Dubs, Pushing Red, Blipswitch and Pure Filth amongst others.

When DJG gets behind the decks, his passion for the music he plays is obvious. His enthusiasm for the deeper side of dubstep and his affection for dance floor selections makes each set a spontaneous combination of the highs and lows that the sound has to offer.
