Look what the cat dragged in...

Giggs (aka Hollowman) is a grime artist who grew up in Peckham, South London.  He's got a slow, deep, unique flow and is taking off right now. He released Don't Go There earlier this year, but this is his newest single 'Look What the Cat Dragged In' which is to be on his forthcoming album Let Em Have It which is out June 21st.

Caspa - My Style

Born Free (Or not)

Here is a link to MIA's controversial new video for Born Free.  This video is banned on youtube in America but you can watch it here VIDEO.  Due to the violence involved you have to be a signed up to youtube to watch it.  Plus if you don't have a youtube account...get with the times grandad! This video didn't exactly leave me feeling on top of the world so I thought I would put up a feel good  track to make up for it.  Turn your speakers up. Over and out.

500th Essential Mix Last Night!!

First starting in 1993, Radio 1's essential mix hit number 500 last night which was recorded live from Liverpool.  The 500th act was Airplane from Belgium (Myspace). Pete Tong and Sasha also stood up, plus this man; Richie Hawtin.

If you're unaware of Richie Hawtin check out his soundcloud.  Hawtin is known for producing and DJing minimal techno and he also produces under the alias of Plastikman, as well as various others.  You can listen to him on the Essential Mix via the Radio 1 website for the next 7 days.

Carl Cox

He needs no introduction. A musical ambassador since he was in short trousers, a professional DJ since his early teens, a veteran of acid house and a champion of techno, Carl Cox emits a love of his work that is dangerously infectious.  Check his website 

http://www.carlcox.com/ 

Videos, tracks, photos, tour dates, forums, the lot!  Also make sure you check out this video.  Every single penny it costs to get to Ibiza and into Space would be worth it just to be there at 1min58 in this video!

Komonazmuk

This is some dark bassment head nodding business.  Komonazmuk is yet another Bristol dubstep producer.  The scene is BIG!  He has been part of the H.E.N.C.H gang from day one. 

Check:  Facebook - Myspace - Twitter.

I was lucky enough to interview him today for a documentary I'm putting together called 'The Evolution of Dubstep'.  This will be posted on here when its complete so sit tight!

HIP HOP FLEX

What do you think of when you hear the term 'Goose'? Urban dictionary describes it as 'to roughly and rudely prod someone in the anus'. Haha! It also happens to be a gangster rapper from the US dropping bangers like this 

Also check out the track 'Cali' on his myspace.

TODDLA TEAZY PLEASE BELIEVE ME

You must have heard of Toddla T. But have you seen his video of him and Annie Mac in Thailand?   

Or the Lady Chann backseat freestyle?

Or heard practically his entire album 'Skanky Skanky' via his myspace?  Well if you don't know, now you know.

Woooooooooooo

This track was originally called Woo and Rusko sent it over to his pal for a radio show but it was a bit quiet so he amplified it before he sent it, and labelled it Woo Boost and the name just stuck.  Rusko has an official video for the original which you can watch here, comment on this post to let me know what you think of it; I'm unsure! And now Subskrpt has had his wicked way with it. Chiggedy check....

Get Locked!!!

Dark garage vibes

What came before dubstep? This (as well as various other things). Artwork has been around for ages. He is one third of Magnetic Man which also comprises of Skream and Benga.  They are currently working on an album. Exciting!

Get Darker!

Ima keep this one short. If you like lots of sick free dubstep podcasts click here and subscribe to the itunes podcast on the right hand side. Baaaaaare mixes to be heard. Just have a snoop around the site in general.  All sorts of good things going on.

Mishka

If you ain't heard of Mishka they are a clothing label in the US but also seem to be an institution for electronic mixes.  I think it's quite a priviledge to compile a mix for them. This is where you can get the 'Keep Watch' guest mixes.  Mishka mixes seem to be a step above your standard mix with a few more dubplates involved.  They've had Skream, Plastician, Crookers, Rusko to name a few and the most recent is by this funny looking chap called Craze from Miami with an upbeat mix incorporating all sorts!

This ones a banger...

This is alot right now. P Money - Slang (Produced by this badman)

Hatcha-TV

If you like dubstep and don't know Hatcha then you should be ashamed of yourself, he was there from the very start!   This is a video of him at DMZ's 5th birthday with an absolute TUNE in the background (Gangreen by Hatcha. Coming out on Croydon Dubheads vol 2, Sin City recordings )
Here is his Myspace and you can catch him tonight and every Tuesday at 1am on Kiss FM with his MC Crazy D. (Tune in an hour early for some dirty electro with Loose Cannons too!)

Kito

Fancy a quality dubstep mix off a rather attractive Australian producer who goes by the name of Kito?

Then click here.  There's an interview on the same page too!  

Forward Planning

The Bug is coming to Bristol for Concrete Beat on May bank holiday Sunday.  So here's a big track by Bug and Flowdan with Loefah on the remix to find out what will be in store. 
Pinch (one of the biggest names in the Bristol dubstep scene) is also playing and heres a mix he done for yah!

Fidget

This is Kye Gibbon aka Foamo.  A fidget/house/club producer who dabbles in dubstep. Check his Myspace here.  If you were lucky enough to be in Egg nightclub in London last night then you will probably star in his new video because they were filming it in there.

This is possibly one of my favourite ever mixes. House Party Mix

Get it.

P.s.  Here are some policefolk enjoying a spot of dubstep. 
--> Video.

Eesh!

Nothing like a bit of filth on a Friday afternoon.

If you haven't heard of 16 Bit then gosh knows where you've been hiding.  Couple of heavy dubstep producers who are responsible for this insanity...Chainsaw Calligraphy.  And this Milky Pie Mix won best mix of this year in the dubstep forum awards.  It's good, real good.

Bare Festival Line Ups

This does exactly what it says on the tin:

• Creamfields Line Up
• Global Gathering Line Up
• Glade Line Up
• Beachbreak Line Up
• Bestival Line Up
• Escape in the Park
• The Big Chill Line Up

I'm nice like that...

Brighton Bass

This is High Rankin.  A producer from Brighton who incorporates dubstep and any other sort of bass driven music into his sets.  I've seen him before and it was a big night.  Check these out by clicking on them. The Tale of Clarence Baskerville and No Money For Guns

Here is a song about Mcat called Meow Meow.

And here is a mix about wanking. Rankers Cramp (April 2010). 

I almost fell off my chair at 6min 12.  (I wasn't wanking)
