Wouldn't be a surprise if Max Pote (aka Protohype) gets his goal of world domination a little sooner than later, especially with mixes like this. The "ShellShock" LP mix, created for you guessed it, the soon to be released ShellShock LP from Firepower Records for its 1 year anniversary contains so much good, unreleased stuff, I wish I could take over the world and make it available already. The mix opens up with "ID" (an unreleased track from Protohype himself ) that's perfect for summer jamming and already making some serious waves on Soundcloud. Just yesterday I heard [...]

[Ta-ku] We first heard Mt Eden ’s anthem “Sierra Leone” back in 2010- a time when some of our favorite shows to attend were those of Datsik , Excision , and B. Rich (who now goes by Kastle ). Since then, our personal preferences have clearly shifted. However, yesterday, we received a welcome dose of nostalgia when we learned that Mt Eden was finally releasing “Sierra Leone” (officially) alongside a handful of remixes courtesy of araabMUZIK , Ta-ku , Tommie Sunshine , and Live [...]

Kanada hat nicht nur Hockey, Elche, Ahornblätter und Robin Scherbatsky zu bieten: Nein - auch viele Größen des Dubsteps dürfen Kanada als ihr Heimatland bezeichnen. Drei von diesen sind am Samstag - den...

Dubstep icon Datsik , who helped popularize the LFO 'wobble,' is known for his raw and gritty bass lines. With his newest release, "Scum," Datsik returns to the classic "robot" bass style from his early productions. "Scum" wastes no time to drop a gut-wrenching bass riff. The track pushes forward with a fat kick-snare pattern that is accented by some ominous "Duke Nukem" vocal samples. Be sure to grab this new Datsik track, any bass head would be mistaken without it. Also, pay attention to what Datsik is up to in the near future. He has announced to release [...]

The Firepower boss man posted up a teaser for his upcoming EP today, a throwback tune filled with Duke Nukem samples, and Datsik 's signature death-wobbles we've come to know and love. It's predictably awesome. Datsik on: SoundCloud | Facebook | Twitter - StatiK Related posts: Two Free Trap VIPs by Datsik Datsik - Vitamin D [album review] Daily [...]

Guess he got his swagger back. FINALLY, Datsik releases something that I absolutely love again. Over the past 6 months the only tracks I heard from Datsik were all 100% trap, not the same dude I remember dropping bangers like "Swagga" and "King Kong" just to name a few. But he stepped back into his dubstep ways with this new release titled "Scum". This song is an absolute killer, it womps like the old-school Datsik I and a lot of bassheads have been craving, and honestly it was worth the wait. Be sure to check this one out.
I caught up with Protohype as his new ep for Firepower drops and asked about the origins of this, the first of a trilogy... Protohype: Well, I’ve been sitting on a lot of original music for a... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

One of my favorite things in life is when I hear an already big tune by a huge artist be completely one-upped by a another artist's remix. On Wednesday, Getter aka Tanner Petulla , did just that when he uploaded his own version of Datsik's " Hydraulic " to his Soundcloud . This is a FREE Filthy tune which, in the 2 days that it's been posted, already has close to 17,000 listens and over 1,000 likes. Earlier this year I had the chance to catch up with Getter and he gave us an exclusive Filth Friday interview [...]

This week we're going things a little bit differently. I've decided to experiment with less writing and more tunes. Don't worry, it's not permanent–I just want to minimize any descriptors that prevent you guys from forming your own unbiased opinion about each song. I call it, " Wobble Wednesday's Minimalist March Madness "! You'll notice a couple golden oldies and classics, but this week, for the most part, is filled with all new tunes fresh out the box for your perfectly sculpted ears to soak up. I also changed "Future" to "Future Garage" for the sake of focusing on [...]
