Happy Birthday Xan! Had a great night, and finished off the night on the decks with Xan which has made me happy all week so far. Thanks to Barletta, XI, and Tasc for some great music. Didn’t really check out much in the other room, but it was also packed due to Marcus and Reva. Pics….

I struggle with what I want to say about this amazing producer. On the one hand, I’m a female producer/DJ myself, and sometimes I find it degrading that people mention my gender and appearance when they write articles about me. On the other hand, Kito is so amazingly talented both technically and artistically that I am proud to tell you that she is also a gorgeous woman! So let’s just stop the buck right there and get into more detail where it matters.

Kito

She’s a mere 22 years old, yet a seasoned DJ who began dabbling when she moved to Perth, Australia from a much smaller town at the tender age of 17. When Skream discovered her through Myspace, he immediately signed her for a 12″ on his esteemed label, Disfigured Dubz, a moody melodically-tinged piece called “What If” backed with “Cold”.

I’m excited for the release of her collaboration with singer Reija Lee, “LFO” which has been making waves in the scene with its tightly wound beats and snappy talkbox-laced vocals.

The two things that are killin’ it most for me right now - glitch hop and dubstep - are both seared into this latest mix from Seattle DJs Pressha and Kat1lyst. It’s time to get crunk, and these boys don’t let up for one single minute. Featuring tunes from up-and-coming darlings like Samples and Opiuo mixed in with current sensations like Pretty Lights, Akira Kiteshi, and Datsik.. this mix is a pretty hot rep of what’s up with bass music.

So it’s been a fucking long time since my last real music post. Been spending a lot of time, shooting and editing wedding pictures lately. This track made me lose my shit though. First of all it’s one of the first real drum and bass 320’s that anyone has actually sent me (thank skint records for that) and even the other dnb tracks that were sent weren’t quite as sick as this one.

This was taken from the promo e-mail as it’s the only thing I can find on B.Y.O.B…

Introducing B.Y.O.B. - real name Ashley Hamilton from
South London, a 20 year old all rounder who writes, produces
and performs all his own material. Is he urban, is he rock,
is he D&B? You decide. His first single ‘Best Shoes’ is a mash-up of
various styles and a taster of things to come for 2010.
With mixes from Qemists and Marlow we look forward to
hearing your feedback on this exciting new artist.

This remix by Qemists is what caught my attention (check out a previous post about them here). Really feeling the indie rock feel, and it’s nicely layered with what could have been an annoying saw tooth bassline, but this one is working with rock and roll feeling of the track.

Check the rest of the remixes on beatport.

Also check out a video of BYOB’s new track ‘Prescription’.

There’s also this Marlow Dub Remix that I don’t even like but figured someone might somewhere. Don’t really understand this whole over the top saw tooth thing with dubstep right now. Too bad, cause it probably could have been a bit nice if the bassline wasn’t so “I wanna stab you in the face with my mac book”.

Last but no least I’ll be heading down the road for this party at blue moon tonight to take some shots!

Hopefully see you there!!!!!

First time seeing Metric live. Amazing live show. Miss Haines definitely gets into the music. Some cool pictures this time as I wasn’t limited to the dreaded 3 song rule. Enjoy…

What amazing night of bass music. Met some new peeps, got drunk off cheap pints of creemore (shit is disgusting btw), and danced like a retard for at least a few seconds in between all the pics. AC Slater tore the Drake a new asshole. Really happy that the system isn’t as shit as it used to be. Pics….
