Freebie | Happy Valentine’s Day – Dubstep style

The day I dread the most in the year is here. Happy, happy, joy, joy (insert sarcasm). With reluctance, I wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day, and I hope you spend it with that special someone. I would like to give you a special mixtape that you can play or give to that special one. [...]

Don’t Sleep On (2010 Edition) | Goldielocks

Don’t let this face fool you. Goldielocks is a force to be reckon with in 2010.  Goldielocks is from England and she is a producer, dj, singer, and rapper.

Feelin The Pinch : Underwater Dancehall

Just want to share some music here from an album that has become my favorite release in any genre for the year. Young as that year is, I have found myself playing this awesome (and yet understated) album from an artist named Pinch called Underwater Dancehall(Tectonic). A seamless and sublime mix of music showcasing the [...]

Kraken Dubs…Warrior Style

It’s been a bit of time since I posted about the dubstep movement, the latest now sound that has been shaping my playlists when I dj around town– and I can think of no better moment for the genre to get down with a hot new anthem here. While dubstep may be a bit too [...]
