As things happen in the blog world they come and go. We went for a bit, now were back.

Why? Because we heard the new forthcoming Kingdom on night slugs and realised how much we fucking love this music. Ridiculous we know.

BLAWAN AND PARIAH START A NEW LABEL TOGETHER?

http://blog.rubadub.co.uk/post/10804100953/blawan-pariah-launch-new-label

POSSIBLY THE BEST THING EVER.

30/09/2011 Switch- I Stil Love You

RISING

27/09/2011 Helix - Drum Track

Didn't think too much off this heard when I first heard it on Benji B, but quickly realised its dancefloor potential. AND it's forthcoming on Night Slugs which is even better news!

FORGOTTEN FUNK TUNES WHICH ARE SICK #006: Marcus Miller & Miles Davis - Tutu

Woo your friends down the vintage clothes fair with your intimate knowledge of one of jazz's greatest crossover albums.

24/09/2011 Madslinky- Moonshine

Very very smooth, Zed Bias's aliase Madslinky.

24/09/2011 Riffs- Don't Leave Ur Girl Round Me

This tune is definitely rising at the moment, it featured in Mele's FACT magazine mix and Dark Sky dropped it when I saw him last night. Juke is blowing up fast.

I Agree

Why Glasgow is killing it right about now...

Fairly self-explanatory.

Wigflex turns 5!

If your in the Nottingham area, you could do worse than to check out Wigflex, who are going in ever so hard with their fifth birthday lineup!

20/09/2011 Keudo- Severant LP

If these three teaser tracks are anything to go by the new Keudo album 'Severant' is shaping up to be quite something. Keudo achieves an almost relaxed and casual atmospheric euphoria.

Scandinavian Subs

It is just occurred to me that some of my favourite dubstep both past and present comes straight out of Scandinavia. Here’s a brief journey around the Viking lands at 140bpm:

Sweden- L-Wiz

L-wiz, a guy named Claes Rosen, is responsible for the most beautiful piece of dubstep ever made; Girl From Codeine City, which featured on the Caspa & Rusko fabriclive. Despite this track reaching great heights he never really took off elsewhere, which is a shame because his back catalogue features some of the most promising dubstep direction out there; it sits kind of in the middle ground between Jazz, Dubstep and Abba. He even brings in live performance elements. Also check out his label All Out Dubstep.

Norway – Tes La Rok

Also reaching prominence in the UK with releases on Dub Police. Tes La Rok, had a profilic output of 12”s over the last 4 years. One track I want to draw attention to is entitled ‘Lickashot.’ It featured on N-Type’s Dubstep Allstars 5, but was never given an unmixed release but it is absolutely relentless. 

 

Finland – Shawty

Finally a guy who has been making huge movements in the ‘nu-school’ of dubstep, with his banger ‘Shawty.’ Very interesting the effectiveness of a tune essentially built around a stretched vocal sample. I shouldn’t have to introduce this one.

19/09/2011 Jamie Grind - Whenever We Say Goodbye

New bit from Jamie Grind, sounds kinda similar to Koreless but with more teeth. Big tune!

18/09/2011 Mosca- Dom Perignon

New forthcoming from mosca.

18/09/2011 Hudson mohawke- Pleasure

Sorry to keep going on about this guy but everything he touches turns to gold. He's even launched a new label Pleasure Principle, on the back of this release!

16/09/2011 XXXY - You Always Start It

"You know we'll be at into it most of the night, probably into the early morning"

16/09/2011 Rustie - BBC Welcome to the Hood MIX, Annie Nightingale

Rustie pulled out this mix for Annie Nightingale's 'Welcome to the Hood' series on her BBC Radio 1 show. Featuring tracks from his forthcoming album 'Glass Swords' and some VIP's it's definitely worth a listen and you can download it below.

15/09/2011 Full Attention - Terror Danjah

Completely letting this one slip under the radar was CRIMINAL. Bangs so hard; sweetness and sub in perfect measure. Dropped August 15th on Hardrive!
