Skream – “Problem Dog + The Blue Crystal”
Well I’ll tell you what, I’m pumped about these two tunes. Skream just posted them up to soundcloud about 6 hours ago and both of em deserve a post. I think Skream may have just perfected the balance of darkness, grime, and cleanliness with these tunes. Reverbs – perfect. Percussion – crisp of course. Creepy, dark vibes – check.
What’s really amazing to me, is that in this well saturated Dubstep game, Skream is able to STILL come up with unique sounds and patterns, and maintain his signature style. He mentioned in the info of the two tracks that Youngsta will be playing these in the coming months, maybe this means a release on Tempa? Wouldn’t that be a treat. Big up Skream as always. Now check em!
5 Days ’til Decibel Festival – Starkey
Out here on the West Coast, some folks can get a big head about the scene and all the amazing opportunities available. Many wanna talk about the Best Coast or Blessed Coast, thinking this is the only real Bass Coast. Philadelphia producer PJ Geissenger aka Starkey reminds us that the sounds coming out of the East can truly embody that high flying eagle – creator energy.
Producing predominately dubstep and grime, Starkey’s tunes transition gracefully through hip-hop, street bass, and ambient as well. When he’s not laying down devilish sets around the globe, Starkey teaches music theory at the University of Philadelphia. Look out for this guy as he develops his sound over the next few years!
Check the recently recorded mix Starkey did for the Мишка Bloglin Keep Watch Mix Series, and don’t miss this man at DB and Surefire Boat Party next Friday. Separate tickets are required and are sure to sell out, so get ‘em now!
Jammer – Big Man 2012 (Produced by Skream)
Here is a brand new Skream and Jammer collaboration entitled Big Man 2012. It seems like the trap train is making it’s way around the world! This tune is huge, stay tuned for a release date.
Toki – The Slug
This tune is absolute fire! The repetitive and beautifully crafted wobbles Toki created for this tune leave a really smooth bounce in your step. Along with that new found bounce in your step you may find the need to start The Slug over a couple times. Don’t worry…you’re not the only who’s having these symptoms…
