2012-01-16T03:52:00.000-08:00

The new look site is nearly done and we're getting set for the changeover. However in the mean time this year also sees the return of our Radio Show, which should also give you an idea of what direction the blog will be taking musically.

Chrome Kids Radio Show: January 15th 2012 by Chrome Kids on Mixcloud

If you're feeling the show then please post it around.

We also have a party in the Motherland of Wales this Thursday (19th January) in Buffalo Bar, Cardiff from 10pm til 4am. It will be Stagga (first offical set back home in over a year), Monky, Kaptin, Falcon Lake, Jauge (Live), Maxx Roach and Adam Corner. To celebrate we have a free download courtesy of Falcon Lake.

Th' Mole: Do Not Be Afraid

2011-12-08T12:31:00.000-08:00

Our longtime mate, Th' Mole, has a new album out. Do Not Be Afraid is a high-energy trip into a fantastical electro-rap world of magical unicorns, explosive bass, and psychedelic hilarity.

Magical Bass - Mental Illness

2011-10-25T14:50:00.000-07:00

We hear a lot of "mental" and "ill" tracks here, but the recent Magical Bass releases have led us to worrying a bit about the psychological well-being of the artists. From DJ 0.000001's 19-minute long remix of Freebird to Th' Mole's On The Couch podcast (documenting an actual meeting with a psychiatrist), to this latest release, a troubled albeit entertaining picture is being pieced together.

The free maxi-single for DJ 0.000001's cover of the classic Suicidal Tendencies track "Institutionalized" seems to be in response to recent accusations of mental instability within the Magical Bass camp, and it makes a powerful statement. DJ 0.000001's breathtakingly honest vocal delivery adds new depth to the brilliant lyrics, while the driving and catchy instrumental keeps you locked in from start to finish, making for a completely different and arguably harder-hitting song than the original itself. The 7-track single also includes another exclusive track, featuring sampled Saul Williams vocals, as well as several stellar remixes by DJ 0.000001 and GDS (AKA Goddamn Sam of Vankmen).

2011-07-20T17:12:00.000-07:00

Here's a proper THUGSTEP mix from the architect, Disc Jockey Nappy - not just a grip of Hip-Hop acapellas over Dubstep tracks, but the mindset that comes across when you hear "Tupac Back" mixed into some Eddie K, or the debauchery that commences when UFO! refixes some haunting Tyler the Creator tracks.

I recently made this Frank Ocean remix, and upon gaining 2,000 followers on Twitter, I decided to give it away for free. The original version was awesome, but I felt it could have been beefed up a little bit, you know?

Oh, it's a .wav file too, so all you DJs/audiophiles will be happy :)

I hope you enjoy it. Big up.

All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace

2011-06-13T04:43:00.000-07:00

I've always been intrigued by the relationship between man and computer technology, infact I'd say on one base level, Chrome Kids is largely about that interaction and the constant shift in control one has over the other, particularly in relationship to music. So it's no suprise I've been loving 'All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace' on BBC2 so far, which argues that we have been' colonised by the machines we have built.' Definitely worth a watch whilst it's still on iPlayer (click on the name to watch it, not sure how well iPlayer works outside of the UK but sure it can be found elsewhere if you're unable to watch it on there).

The artist formerly known as 8Bitch from her forthcoming EP on Svetlana Industries. Before this drops they also have a release from BNJMN which is out tomorrow, if you can't wait til then however you can pre-ordr a copy from here now and recieve 2 of the tracks straight away. We also have a track that was bumped from the EP due to the master recording getting lost but which still stands alone as a great track.

The Lock Tavern Takeover

2011-06-09T10:32:00.000-07:00

BBC Radio 1 linchpin and fellow Welshman, Huw Stephens has teamed up with our current headquaters, Cardiff Arts Institute, to bring a fantastic selection of Bass friendly DJs and producers over the Severn Bridge to The Lock Tavern in Camden. Alongside two of Northern England’s rising stars, is a heavy representation of our native city’s talent. The event runs from 3pm to 11pm on Sunday 19th June and it's completely free, so come and say hello if you're in the area.

Fantastic Mr Fox (Live)
With James Blake and Pariah hailing him as the next big thing, The XX taking him away on tour with them and all the hype backed up by some stunning releases on seminal labels Black Acre and Hemlock, it’s suprising we’ve heard little from Manchester producer Fantastic Mr Fox recently, but seems like he’s been hard at work in the den working on his live sets, which he shall be heading up proceedings with for you here.

Hyetal - Phoenix (Fantastic Mr Fox Remix) by Black Acre Records

Jamie Grind
Leeds rising don of skittering electronic riddims has made a big impression on the scene with his first 2 fantastic EPs on respected labels: Infrasonics (Spatial, XXXY, Hot City) and Fortified Audio (Submerse, XXXY, KingThing) and his forthcoming releases on Wicked Bass and Chicago Juke label Ghettophiles prove he is definitely one to keep watching.

Hackman - More Than Ever (Jamie Grind Remix) FREE 320 by Jamie Grind

Ratcatcher
After cutting his teeth on the Cardiff clubland as part of Skinny White Boys and C.R.S.T. – Ratcatcher (formerly Rodski) is now riding solo and has returned to his first love, House Music! His residencies at Cardiff Arts Institute and Dalston’s popular underground Rhythm Talk parties have shown him to be one of the most astute DJs on the scene and remixes for the likes of Crystal Fighters, Lokiboi have shown him as a more than worthy producer on the rise.

Rain (Unmastered) by Ratcatcher

Didz + Chico
Despite their early Grime background, Didz (aka Diddy aka Ill Diddy) + Chico have always hinted at deeper more uplifting side in their DJ Sets and productions. Stalwarts of Cardiff’s music scene, Chico was better known as an MC and Diddy remained largely in the shadows until their anthemic garage track ‘Something New’ on Doc Daneeka’s ‘Ten Thousand Yen’ label, which was rinsed by the likes of Marcus Nasty, Seb Chew, Julio Bashmore, TRG, and Mosca.

CHRIS COCO - BUTTERFLY HEART (DIDZ & CHICO REMIX) by chris coco

Kaptin
Holding it down for the Welsh massive for years as a DJ, MC and Promoter, Kaptin heads up the Chrome Kids family alongside Stagga and Monky, recording mixes for the likes of BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, Radio Wales and Knowledge Magazine and playing firing sets at Glastonbury, Bestival and Swn amongst others. He is also part of the Big Swing Soundsystem (alongside DJ Moneyshot + Matt The Hat) and is in charge of bookings at Cardiff Arts Institute.

Mr Healan
Definitely showcasing a more Hip-hop approach to future music, Mr Healan has been making a strong name for himself on the Welsh scene supporting acts such as Daedelus, Bullion and James Blake, whilst his productions have received play on BBC Radio 1, Radio Wales and 1Xtra and being picked up by the likes of Distance, Starkey and Darkhouse Family.
PUT EM' ON BLAST! MR HEALAN by Mr Healan

Ifan Dafydd
After handing some of his own productions to BBC Wales’ presenter Adam Walton, the keyboard player to Wales’ fantastic festival band Derwyddon Dr Gonzo bounced round some of the Beeb big dogs until his unofficial (and unfinished) Amy Winehouse remix ‘No Good’ aired on Gilles Peterson’s show and he caused an instant blog / forum blast. With an obvious ear for great music, we look forwards to hearing what Sunday afternoon delights arise from this exclusive DJ set.

Time Of Kastle

2011-06-02T07:25:00.000-07:00

Kastle is fast becoming one of our favourite producers and Seclusiasis have proven themselves once again to be the perfect link between the street, the club and the chin stroking anorak massive with their latest release, strutting around 6 tracks deep, with a completeness that is commendable considering it's contrasts. We have excess love for the title track which is classic UKG 2-Step stretched between a modern Glitch coating and stabs of rave influence and also 'Bring Me Back', which marches around powerfully around the Grime, Broken Beat, Dubstep and Garage territories. I think a favourite though may possibly be found in 'Walking Away', which ventures confidently into the realms of daytime radio, with a sweetly sung hook and rapper Armanni Reign effortlessly and skillfully tripping rhymes over a Summertime sanctioned crisp half-step beat.

The fellas have given us a copy of 'I Know' to give out from the EP, it's a clean purple tinted rave outing that sways around with it's hands in the air before jumping into a 2-step demon that is guaranteed to decimate a dancefloor.

Download: Kastle - I Know / alt link

you can grab the EP everywhere on Vinyl and Digital from June 6th or over on Juno Download now.

Gotta Have Faith

2011-06-01T15:01:00.001-07:00

Although the Faith SFX mixtape 'All From The Mouth' promised much, it never quite felt like it delivered properly. With the album 'Man Or Machine' though it seems that the talented Beatboxer's finally struck gold. With even more of an all star line up that includes a cross section of rappers such as Skibadee, Stig Of The Dump, Mystro, Wretch 32, P-Money, Ghetts and Lowkey (who features alongside John McClure on the excellent 'Revolution' that's been floating round a while and was on our 'Hulk hop Vs Crunk Rock Mixtape') , this would be a fantastic selection of Hip-hop/ Grime tracks without having to rely on novelty factors, but of course the fact that SFX has laid down some tight beats and basslines using (possibly just) his mouth certainly is an added bonus.

Post-Thugwave

2011-06-01T14:54:00.001-07:00

Been a while since we heard from Dead Geoff and MisterThumbs from the Purple Bird family but Geoff just sent over a couple of their new 'Post-Thug' Glitch hop style excursions which we're now banging hard. They sound a little like something their West Coast cousin's might cook up but this doesn't prove a bad thing, these are certainly killer cuts indeed.

BST by purplebirdmusic

THUGWAVE by purplebirdmusic

No download on these as yet but Geoff also sent us a remix he did for Kuxxan SUUM, a tough Glitchy take on the rest of the EP, which is a mellow slice of downbeat electronica that "deals with Language and foreign voices as its primary melodic, textural & conceptual source."

Hail Mary Mother Of All Hip-hop Albums

2011-06-01T13:49:00.000-07:00

Loving the Hail Mary Mallon album right now (Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic and Big Whiz for those that don't know). Props to Rhymesayers, such a strong label at the moment. Also been jamming the Face Candy album, a fantastic freestyle experiment between rappers Micheal 'Eyedea' Larsen and Kristoff Krane, bassist Casey O’Brien and drummer JT Bates. This was sadly the final record Eyedea was able to complete before his tragic passing in October of 2010, but a strong testament to his talent nevertheless.

Do Androids Attend Electric Sheep?

2011-05-23T07:39:00.000-07:00

Good Monday people, hopefully you will have recovered from this Weekend's festivities in tine for the coming Bank Holdiay weekend, as we are programming an event at Cardiff Arts Institute from Friday to Sunday. Many of the acts playing will be recognisable to our regular readers and if you are anywhere near the vicinity would be great to see you all. Here's the info...

ELECTRIC SHEEP WEEKENDER
Friday 27th - Sunday 29th May 2011 (Bank Holiday Weekend)
Cardiff Arts Institute, 29 Park Place. CF10 3BA
£4 per day (limited £6 passes for all 3 days)

3 SECRET HEADLINERS // DOC DANEEKA + BENJAMIN DAMAGE (LIVE) // MONKY (HOYA HOYA / ROBOX NEOTECH) // DIDZ & CHICO (TEN THOUSAND YEN) // RATCATCHER // TELEGRAM FROM THE QUEEN (JUVENILE SCUM) // MR HEALAN // DAI VERSE (DIVERSE CONCEPTS) // CHROME KIDS // ZWOLF // OWAIN K // STD // DISCORD // KOVAS (64 BARS) // MAXX ROACH //

The Welsh Electronic scene has truly coming into it’s own over the past few years. As musical genres overlap and intertwine, particularly after the Bass music scene in general’s mass migration from formulaic Dubstep, so Wales’ tight knit community of producers and DJs become ever closer, more open and undoubtedly stronger. As celebration of this fact we have brought some of the top artists from the scene together for a long Bank Holiday weekend of showcases, secret sets and a whole lot of drinking and dancing.

We have 3 Secret headliners, all well established acts at the top of their game, plus: Modeselektor’s label signings Doc Daneeka and Ben Damage showcase their new live set ahead of their Melt! Festival debut in Berlin; one of the city’s most forward thinking producers, Monky gets set to show why his future blend of bass heavy beats have been getting so much love across the electronic music world; Cardiff 2 Step tearaways Didz & Chico bring a little ‘something new’ to the table; Chrome Kids drop a rare appearance ahead of shows in Glastonbury and Bestival over the summer; experimental circuit benders Zwolf, STD and Mr Healan step out of the Hip-hop shadows into something altogether more interesting; former CRST member Ratcatcher (Rodski) and Owain K hold it down for the current generation of House producers; whilst Juvenile Scum head honchos and Dirty Sanchez DJs Telegram From The Queen, to quote Redman, ‘come to throw a little mud in this mother**ker’ and make sure proceedings don’t get too serious. With many more up and coming DJs and producers, just starting to cement their reputations as ones to watch also on the bill, this is undoubtedly going to be a great marker on where the scene is now and where it’s heading. There’s plenty more information on each act, as well as free downloads, streaming tracks and videos over at the Cardiff Arts Institute blog http://cardiffartsinstitute.org

More info can be found on the Cardiff Arts Institute Website.

Give Time To Grieves

2011-05-20T13:20:00.000-07:00

We've only just came across Grieves, who seems to have been dropping releases independently for a while but has his first album for Slug's Rhymesayers label dropping soon. We just got the 3rd single 'On The Rocks' through and we've been bumping it hard. His rhymes remind us of his label boss but that's not necessarily a bad thing in our eyes, plus he backs them up with a laid back bluesy soul singing style, kinda like a more credible, less gangsta Domino (whatever happened to him?)... kinda.

plus there's a dope video and a free download of the flipside

The album 'Together / Apart' is out June 21st.

Th' Mole, DJ 0.0000001 & The DJ'ing Cat

2011-05-02T08:35:00.000-07:00

Although they've been relatively quiet for the past months, Th' Mole, DJ 0.000001 and the Magical Bass gang are in full swing again. After last week's European tour documentary, Th' Mole also dropped a ridiculous Easter-themed instrumental video...

And this week, DJ 0.000001 has got a new remix and music video for, of all things, a Kenny Loggins song.

Kudos For Kuedo's New Mixtape

2011-04-20T15:30:00.000-07:00

#9: Kuedo by Svetlana Industries on Mixcloud

When Kuedo (aka Jamie Vex'd) sent us a mix he'd recorded for Svetlana Industries we automatically knew it was gonna be right up our strasse... and it is! As you might expect it's an emotionally stacked slab of digital Hip-hop beats with a splattering of vocals here and there, and although only a short ride (just under 20 minutes) it's a well planned journey through some dope US & UK producers.

DJ 0.000001 & Foxdye, live in Strasbourg

2011-04-20T11:29:00.000-07:00

From their European tour of last month, this edition of the Blunted Library Show features a live recording of DJ 0.000001 (AKA Th' Mole), mashing it up on-the-fly, along with Foxdye providing blips, squelches and fart noises via her iPod. And as always on BLS, the show also includes a nice mix by resident DJ Fred Ficus.

F**king Dino-Sized Beats

2011-04-12T18:58:00.001-07:00

Mochipet just slammed us with the first single to his forthcoming album 'Rawr Means I Love You' due out later this year. 'Whomp-a-saurus Sex Party', as the name suggests is like an orgy between the Dinobots (well the Triceratops one was called 'Slag'). Incidentally, the T Rex one, Grimlock, is one of the only toys that I still hold from my childhood. Him and the big snail looking Zoid... ah and Ma Mutt (was he even a proper Thundercat character?)! All of whom could probably gate crash this particular gang bang and still not make it any less filthy.

The single has already reached #1 on Addictech so to celebrate, it shall be given away to fans via SoundCloud as soon as it hits 5069 plays. However, you can pick it up now on with some beastly remixes from the likes of Freddy Todd, Ill-esha and Ben Samples.

Get Ready For The Weeknd

Great remix of The Morning by Drake approved (they're signed to his label) Toronto group The Weeknd. It's coming from Dolor, who we know very little about except he/she's from the States somewhere and is down with Lorn, who we have to thank for putting us onto this one.

Don't Confuse Her For a Girl She Will Destroy You

2011-04-08T10:32:00.000-07:00

Remember that scene in Blade Runner where Daryll Hannah starts flipping out and nearly f**ks Rutger Hauer into oblivion, saving Harrison Ford a shed load of hassle? No nor do we but something tells me that’s what happens in the ‘Ghettozoid Director’s re-cut’ and this is the soundtrack to that very scene. Vangelis would probably be crying into his synthesiser if he heard this... or not. This is driving robo-booty bass music of the highest order and is out next week on One4Ho.

O4H003 Ghettozoid Boy Toy Finyl master by One4Ho

On the flip side evil genius Silverman has taken control of the 'Boy Toy' and has pushed it to the limits so it’s bordering on malfunction. It seems like he’s trying to use it to take over the planet, and he might just succeed.

Ghettozoid - BoyToy (Silverman RMX) by SiLVERMAN

If you're anywhere near the Sarf Larndon area tomorrow night (Saturday 9th April), go buy the One4Ho girls a drink down at the Brixton Bar & Grill. In return they shall play you much good tuneage, seems a fair swap.

MIKILL PANE
Hailing from Shoreditch it’s easy on first glance to see how Mikill Pane has been credited with leading the charge of Hipster Rap for the UK, but besides the fixie bike, hi-top and impeccable footwear there’s also plenty of substance to go with the style and his underground poetics are intelligent, amusing, socially relevant, outrageous and occasionally rather rude.

Big shout to everyone who has brought the 'Genik Riddim' single from our boys Stagga, Skamma and Joe Blow so far, it's certainly not the last you've heard of them all. The new Stagga album will be dropping at the end of next month on Rag & Bone Records but we'll tell you more about that soon. For now check out the latest Low End Theory Podcast from Gaslamp Killer and Jon Hopkins, that includes both the excellent new Stagga and Doshy track 'Hornets', as well as his next forthcoming single on Slit Jockey 'Wild For The Night'.

Chrome Kids Show: Radio Cardiff - 7th March 2011 by Chrome Kids on Mixcloud

Okay so if you want to know a little bit more about this weeks show (and grab some goodies along the way), then a rambling we shall go...

First up is a pretty epic intro from the new Demokracy EP ‘Double Star’ on Robox Neotech, as we’ve come to expect from both the label and the artists, the EP is a cinematic affair, a dystopian robotic future falling apart through stuttered drums and mutant funk. Here’s a free non EP track that gives a little more insight to their sound for the uninitiated.

Download: Demokracy – Starhaven (Direct Link)

Next up is the Boson remix of Welcome To The Zoo. Having had one of this blog’s biggest hits with his Ginuwine remix some time ago, it was a pleasure to randomly have this turn up via the Astroid Boys as a mix for the EP. This is perfect festival Dubstep, big and bashy but with a wicked little Gypsy, Carnivalesque skank to it. The single is out March 25th, will be dropping a little freebie for you soon but just incase you haven’t seen the video to the original yet.

Props to our amigo Troublemaker who dropped this expletive laden revamp of the Rusko monster into my lap just half hour before we had to leave. He jumped straight back into the studio and cleaned up Killer Reese One’s filthy mouth just in time to drop it on the show. Here’s the original (remix) in all it’s glory though.

Jazzsteppa have just dropped their ‘I-doser’ EP on Studio Rockers this week and it somehow manages to capture the energy and creativity of their highly impressive live shows into recorded form. Collaborations come from: London based singer Jessie Lee Burn on the jazzed up hyper blend of, 2 Step, Breaks and UK Funky title track; Borgore on the hard hitting heavyweight champion track ‘Shamen’; and the track from the show which features Israeli ‘alternative pop’ star Efrat Gosh on a Bass blasting blues / G funk excursion. Here’s a cheeky little Drake / Rihanna Bootleg.

We never quite know what to expect with an Om Unit release but it’s pretty much guaranteed to be quality. There’s a classic late 80s techno feel to the latest EP from which we opted for the excellent Salva remix of 'Prawn Cocktail' which takes the track’s 808 beats and flips them into a Glitch hop / Dubstep hybrid that floats rather more freely than the urgentish pulse of the original, which you can grab courtesy of XLR8R Magazine below.

Download: Om Unit - Prawn Cocktail - Prawn Cocktail (Salva Remix) (Direct Link)

Kovas passed through the studio to chat about the last 64Barmusic mix and release and play us one of his tunes from it. During the interview I scandalously talked over the whole of a track from Blue Daisy (all I had to hand at the time) and half of one from Exotope, sorry boys. Here’s both tracks in all their glory to make up for it.

Me and some friends once spent hours looking for a club we liked in London, when we turned up we were told it was Iranian Disco night and that the chances of our over active teen loins being even slightly appeased were zilch. However, if the music was as good as this Iranian Techno that Sticky K sent us, who would have cared (okay yes I know he’s taking the piss with the tag somewhat, but where would the story be then, does sound just a little like Omar Souleyman from a couple of country’s over in Syria mind). Anyway, it’s his forthcoming single and if you still haven’t listened to the show yet, it goes like this.

My mate Shane recorded a track with Bassclef whilst he was visiting Cardiff. Not sure what’s going to happen with the tune but it’s rather fun, so we played it on the show and here’s a copy for you guys.

Not sure if we’re allowed to give you the amazing remix of MJ Cole & Wiley’s track ‘From The Drop’ by Tru Thoughts and former Ninja Tune artist Hint, but if we get the green light it’s yours. We can (almost) definitely give you this dope re-edit of Skream’s rave-tastic Cassius remix from I Killed Kenny though.

We’ve been meaning to do a proper review of Central Spillz debut album Space Travel for a while, and we will. So let’s not waste all the words we might use in that now, just know its bloody good. We played the original of their track Centraleyez but they’ve also given us an exclusive J Suave remix to pass to you lot.

Download: Central Spillz - Centraleyez (J Suave Remix) / alt link

Esoterra shouldbe no strangers to regular readers, they’ve been killing it Cardiff side on the all guns blazing, f**k me that’s deliciously evil Dubstep front. We dropped a track from their Army Of The Slugs EP but here’s another bootleg of theirs for you all (or whoever grabs it first at least)

Haunt You - Flux Pavillion *Esoterra Remix (FREE DOWNLOAD) by EsoterraDubstep

We’ve not heard anything from Akira Kiteshi (or just Kiteshi now it seems) for a little while now but a most welcome return has come in the shape of his suped-up version of the rather Scandinavian sounding track ‘Drive’ from South London band Alpines.

Pretty sure I’ve never played any of the Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All lot on the show, mainly because they’re not forthcoming in handing out radio versions, but their most soulful of members Frank Ocean keeps his mouth clean long enough for me to drop this stunning R’n’B number off his album Nostalgia/Ultra.

Download: Frank Ocean - Swim Good / alt link

Unfortunately we misjudged and had to cut off the beautiful Fatima / Floating Points track Relight almost as soon as it dropped, well short of its full 10 minutes. Definitely suggest picking it up when it drops on Eglo records though.

And that was the show, you actually listened to it yet? Until next week.

His refix of Trillbass's "Chief Rocka," dropping ahead of their Trillogy No. 1 album, is all gnarled, meandering basslines and beats skittering over a solid half-time foundation.

2011-02-14T15:07:00.000-08:00

Our amigette Ghettozoid hit us up with this Valentines mix she did for her group Bubbz & The Black Notez, yes we realise that if you're in the UK Valentines only has about 35 minutes left and in some places it's done and dusted but posting now kind of accentuates the fact that this mix is far too good to be tied down to just one day. However it is also great if you happen to be tied down right now (see what we did there) so fire up the speakers and get ready for this freaky fun mix that is a far more considerate gift than chocolates and roses, who says we don't love you.

Walk Like An Egyptian

2011-02-14T10:40:00.000-08:00

Some classic Bassnectar bootleg business for you all to celebrate the events in Egypt. Here's what Lorin had to say.

"I cannot pretend that I understand the intricacies of Egypt’s current political situation (neither the history of it, nor the most recent developments: the people’s uprising, the overthrow of a dictator, etc.) but I do know it is amazing to witness humans coming together to organize and rise up against injustice. As with Obama, whom I always took with a grain of salt (knowing he has tendencies to be inept at best and corrupt at worst) I was happy merely with the SYMBOLISM of his presidential victory. Because for a country that is shamefully built on slavery, with a pathetic legacy of racism and prejudice, this was a symbolic achievement: a majority of US citizens had looked past racism in a way that would have been impossible 50 years prior. That was a big deal.

So it is a big deal also that the Egyptian people, under strict rule of an unjust dictator, found courage and conviction to unite together and stand up to an aggressor, against all odds. Additionally it is extra special that this uprising was fueled by internet organizing and social networking (yet another example of why it is SO important to fight government & corporate control of the internet, on any level. Net neutrality should be defended as a direct lesson from the victory in Egypt).

What happens next is of course uncertain, but I am an optimist. In this case, my optimism is fueled by the inspiring courage and success of the underdog.

And so with a bit of playfulness, I give you this:"

DJ Cable - 2011 Valentines Mix

2011-02-13T16:25:00.000-08:00

So, here's a quick mix that I put together for this year's Valentines Day.

Rather than do another generic Slow Jams mix, this time around I've selected a bunch of love-themed Dubstep & Grime tunes (yes, they do exist!), alongside a healthy dose of misogynistic Hip Hop & Booty Bass in the latter half of the mix, plus a cheeky bootleg, and some material that's forthcoming on Triangulum!

The result? A mish mash of everything from JME, to Wiley, Three 6 Mafia, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, DJ Assault, Necro, Dizzee Rascal, Borgore, Ruckspin, Chromeo and more!
