Yes, size matters. Bigger mixes and bigger posts are better.

Other writers have been writing a lot lately and since I didn’t really have that much time to post, I didn’t really bother finding time. The semester is almost over and that means that parties start, but parties without music sucks. There’s this new tendency around here, they call it “dubstep parties”, which is pretty much rave parties without rave music. Hmmm. Great idea, but I’m not sure what hard drugs do on people that listen to dubstep… haha. Someone should do some research on this. Last dubstep party I went to was decent, but I remember one thing: the DJ did not know what the two words “mixing properly” meant. I suggest he donates all his equipment to me(he had nice CDJs and other piece of gear). I also suggest that he starts playing already recorded mixes instead of raping people’s ears. (He wasn’t thaaaat bad, but I still think he should learn to not suck at life)

Wow it’s so strange how the previous paragraph fits with the music I want to talk about! O.M.G. ! (if you’re a Rusko fan and you don’t get this, go die in a fire pleaseeee; thanks.)

Rusko released his new album about last week and I’ve been listening to it quite a bit. Here is what I think:

Sup son;

that is all.

Nawww, I keed’. Seriously though it’s a great album that isn’t really near Rusko’s typical dubstep style. It’s less dirty and more “pop? (if you want to call it like that) It’s a lot less aggressive but still pretty awesome and Rusko was able to keep that dubstep drop in every song, even the more chill ones. See for yourself!

Rusko – Scareware

Rusko – Oy (ft. Crookers)

Rusko – You’re On My Mind Baby

Rusko - Rubadub Shakedown (ft. Rod Azlan) (this is like Major Lazer that got “dubsteped”)

Rusko – Woo Boost (Probably the most Ruskie song of the album, this is a repost)

On to some more filthy and dirty and everything you want to hear when listening to dubstep. I came across a really sick mix from Kabz, some Chicago DJ (again). Since I’m really really REALLY bad at summarizing stuff here is the full info on Kabz. He knows DJ Solo by the way. Check THIS post for stuff on DJ Solo.

“Hailing from Chicago, KABZ is one of the fastest rising DJ’s in the midwest scene… Having started DJ’ing in 1993, he has progressed through countless genres of music before discovering dubstep in late 2007. KABZ has played every major Dubstep venue/showcase in Chicago and always leaves the crowd wanting more of his wikkid, hard hitting mixing style. Now a regular DJ on The Dented Sessions on http://www.dubstep.fm, and has been a featured DJ on The Part Time Suckers Show on http://www.WNUR.org, Sub808 on KAKU (Maui), Joystixx Radio on http://www.WLUW.org, Dubstation on http://www.Rhubarbradio.com (Birmingham UK), and a featured mix on http://www.afterdarkradio.info (Birmingham UK) as well.

Kabz is also an integral cog in the Fresh Kid crew in Chicago, which promotes dubstep nights at Smartbar, Cafe Lura, Kinetic Playground to name a few, as well as assorted other events in the midwest dubstep scene. Watch out for this Badman, he might be coming through your town soon!!”

I obviously wrote all this (not). His mixes are sick and extremely filthy. I think the DJ from the dubstep party should play this instead of destroying my ears. Allah dammnit. My favorite mix is his Brod out mix 2 that you can find on his soundcloud page or right here. (check his soundcloud for more stuff or his facebook for anything else, for example more links to info) He’s going to release a new mix soon on foreignbanguage.com, I’ll attempt to keep you updated on that. You can download the mix if you want, click on the arrow on the right. Enjoy the mind blowing brostep. Let’s create a new –step word while we’re at it: Kabztep.

So a few days after my trip, my computer died. This means no posting for quite some time but don't worry, i got a new laptop. WOOT!
I've been checking out some new album releases, something I haven't done in a while and I found three worth talking about.

1- Noisia's new album is something I've been looking forward to for a very long time. Drum and Bass has become my new thing! Once again, Noisia and Foreign Beggars have teamed up to make some of the most insane head banging, seizure causing, car crashing music i know (very similar to the old Prodigy). But yes, there are also some good solo songs.

Shellshock - Noisia Ft. Foreign Beggars

Soul Purge - Noisia Ft. Foreign Beggars

Split The Atom - Noisia

2- Everyone knows about Crookers right? If not, check out these posts:

Crookers

For those of you who DO know how awesome Crookers are, well it turns out their new album doesn't reach my Crookers standards. We can compare their new album to the Montreal Canadians; not a bad team but still one with a lot of difficulties. The Crooker's usual NHL representative team: Washington Capitals. Not comparative. At least the album cover is still pretty cool.

Hip Hop Changed - Crookers Ft. Rye Rye

Remedy - Crookers Ft. Miike Snow

3- Finally, lets talk about Groove Armada. They're a group from the UK that aren't that well known in Canada but that play some pretty sweet music. These two guys will play some smooth experimental/dance/indie that might just blow your mind (if you're more of a calm person). Their new album Black Light is their 9th and I find they’re getting pretty damn good.

Paper Romance - Groove Armada

Just For Tonight - Groove Armada

I couldn’t get really that up to date with new releases with exams and stuff so these aren’t exactly “the new stuff” but they still are gooooodieesss and most of them aren’t that old anyways. Some of the tracks are rare stuff so enjoyyyy teh good sheeit. VERY FAWKING HAWT TRACKS INCOMING.

Santa Claus is fat.

My next few weeks will be full of shit with finals and assignments. I’ll keep posting tracks though, so don’t worry.

Here are three nice tracks that I’ve been listening to a lot lately. They’re bangers, pump up the volume and bang your head. Wassup.

Diplo – Wassup Wassup (Crookers Happy Remix) [Very Fawking Hawt]

Fukkk Offf – More Than Friends (Congorock Remix) [Very Fawking Hawt]

Redman – I Hold The Crown (Gigi Barocco Remix) [Very Fawking Hawt]

Well then: New shtuff. Like what? Jakwob. Yes, this dubstep DJ that got featured on BBC Radio 1 a couple times but no one knows about him yet. I already posted a song from him that is really amazing (Starry Eyed). So if you didn't listen to it yet, do it now because it's pretty much an awesome song, really. Download it Here. Jakwob remixed some artists and made their songs better (at least in my opinion he did). So here are three songs.

The first one (Everyday from Killa Kela) is a well known one, because it has been on Hypem charts for 2 weeks at least... Every DJ remixed it. I would call it a "chill" song, because it's not some big head banging track where you just want to go nuts and run everywhere yelling to the world how much that song is effed up "mang", but it's a pretty awesome track still.

The second one (The Fear - Lilly Allen) wasn't too popular yet (the remix that is) but it's my personal favorite. It's a little more "head banging" while still staying a calm song. You can easily recognize Jakwob's style in there (soft and then the heavy bassline starts). I love it.

And the third one is a remixed version of M.I.A. 's Pull up the Poo. I don't LOVE it but I still enjoy listening to it. I never really adored M.I.A. anyways. It's sounds more like some classic dubstep to be honnest, but still is groovy.

Killa Kela - Everyday (Jakwob Remix)

Lilly Allen - The Fear (Jakwob Remix)

M.I.A. - Pull up the Poo (Jakwob Remix)

Alright so enough with Jakwob and his amazing dubstep.


Some call him the "American Version of Justice", I think he's awesome, but not like Justice yet. Here is Richie Beretta. He released his new track Nitefist not too long ago and it's pretty amazing and very groovy: you'll like it. Then there is his Let it Rock remix that I like, still extremely groovy. You'll recognize some kind of Justice style in his tracks, but more in the drum set he uses. The hi-hat sometimes sounds like Justice's. What I like in his tracks is the fact they are well made and complete. The synth is nice and usually is the "good" one, the one you would like to hear for that kind of song. May your ears have fun:

Richie Beretta - Nitefist

Kevin Rudolf - Let It Rock (Richie Beretta mix)


I'll now present Loot and Plunder, from south Australia. Yes, Australia, not Africa. The "band" is composed of 2 DJs and guess what they make... MASHUPS! They are kind of like Super Mash Bros but more electro-based. I have two mashups for you guys that you should enjoy. It's the kind of music that makes you want to bang your head everywhere and go nuts (if you have monster speakers). They like good music: they like Crookers. Good.

Axwell & Splack Pack - I Found You (Loot & Plunder feat Hank Edit)

Crookers & Ying Yang Twins - Ain't Looking For A Bush (Junior & Second Letter's Party Banga)


Then there is a remixed version of The Sounds - No One Sleeps When I'm Awake, by Vikings. Like many DJs seem to do now, it sounds like MSTRKRFT at some point, but hey, MSTRKRFT is good so who cares. It has the same synth (similar) but a different drumset so it's still good and... almost unique. I like it.

The Sounds - No One Sleeps When Im Awake (VIKING remix)


My soft song of the day was remixed by Mike Snow, that is on fire these days, with his 25000000 remixes on all the blogs. This track is calm and enjoyable to listen at; don't play it a t a club though because people will leave. Hah. I like it.

Vampire Weekend - The Kids Don't Stand A Chance (Mike Snow Remix)
