Kid Acne - The Chosen One (2013) One from my early dubstep days this time. Back to 2008 when Rusko wasn't shoveling out brostep cack and had just released Babylon Vol. 1 . It still stands up today ad pretty much embodies the sound that I fell in love with dub for. Shame how it all turned out, but at least we have some good tunes to remember it by.

Woke up hungry? Instead of eggs and bacon, let Rusko cook you up some stir fry for breakfast this morning. His latest mix, Stir Fry 2, showcases the dubstep pioneer's more playful side (and drawing skills). A strange two hours of tempo and style shifts, the tracklist embodies its namesake - a seemingly incomprehensible combination of ingredients from all corners of the bass music universe - the results of which create something absolutely delicious. What may seem strange and unfocused at first, quickly develops into a tripped out mix of bumpy bass and heavy reverb worthy of your [...]

Last week TomorrowWorld announced Alesso , Axwell , and Sebastian Ingrosso would all be performing at its inaugural festival and today ID&T has announced a brand new stage catered to fans who like a little more bass in their face. The stage, dubbed " All Your Bass Are Belong to Us ," is a strictly bass heavy affair with Excision , Rusko , Gramatik , Zomboy , Delta Heavy , Figure , Savoy , Grandtheft , NiT GriT, and Sound Remedy all taking center stage in one of the grittier corners of TomorrowWorld. If bass isn't quite your thing, stay tuned [...]
All photos by Erik Madsen Oh this was reality, but for many, Oakland’s Pop The Dream at The Oracle Arena no doubt felt like a blissful sorta dream. Flashing bright lights filled the coliseum with a glow that radiated across a sea of several thousand people, all dancing throughout the night. A smaller, redesigned, and more intimate stage allowed lower-level partygoers to enjoy an entirely new and up-close experience with the artist. Typically an experience reserved for smaller venues like the Oakland Fox, or San Francisco's Warfield theater. However, don’t be [...]

Pretty big news here for our friends from across the pond. Two of the biggest promoters in EDM culture join forces for Electric Daisy Carnival London. Where else would such an event take place, but the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Mark your calendars, Saturday July 20th will no doubt be one of the biggest shows to hit the UK this summer with headliners Tiësto and Avicii, as well as a gaggle of other top shelf talent. Knowing Electric Daisy Carnival and what they do, we expect that Pasquale Rotella and company will make good use of the [...]

In the wake of EDC moving to Las Vegas, a hole began to form in the electronic music scene of Los Angeles. This void has continued to grow as Insomniac has moved its events to the outskirts of San Bernadino (not the most attractive local) and other promoters have moved in on LA to mixed reviews. Until recently, if you were an Angeleno and an EDM fan you were looking at a pretty serious road trip to get to any sort of decent electronic music festival. That is until EDM aficionados started to take notice of the perennially great yet completely underrated Lightning [...]

Ultra Music Festival weekend one is over and we thought it would only be suitable to live out what we considered a good eclectic of the best sets from the festival before weekend two slams in all our faces. The Miami festival that has been dealing with some pretty hardcore gatecrashers and was lucky enough to have an appearance from the quite ill Avicii has been asleep for the last four days recovering for round two which is set to reignite via the [...]
