Blog: rock the dub

For the latest release on The Jeffrees , Mad Decent takes it to Brooklyn with Baauer . Dude's already been featured in mixes from Diplo , Brodinski and Flosstradamus , as well as Rustie 's Essential Mix from last month (and even with a little Danny Brown via Nappy 's The RefiXXX EP preview ), and the boy DJ Cable was hunting this one down earlier this week. Just a big track right [...]

Prior to the May 27th release of True To Form , an EP from Nico the Beast & Vanderslice , he brings some of you newcomers to his cipher with Lost Sessions, Vol. 1 . This five-track taster features some freestyles from the original rendition of his 2008 Dinner is Served mixtape, with him merking familiar beats, like Common 's "The Game" or "2DopeBoyzinaCadillac" by Outkast . You can tell that the shit that's weighed on his heart hadn't gone down yet, as he feels a bit freer with the bars, [...]

DC Breaks has been on a tear, and their Firez EP for Ram is proof positive of that. They let loose a VIP of "Move Closer" from the EP, but with a twist - where the original has more of a swing-y DnB beat, this VIP is pure dubstep flavor. You can only grab this via their Facebook page , so get on it.

Time for some throwback Drum & Bass stylings from one of the scene's finest, Keaton. I don't think he does much within the DnB scene anymore, but with the Usual Suspects , Keaton crafted a heap of important bits back when it mattered. He's going to be doing a '98-'02 set at Hardware's Cable takeover this Saturday in London , and he cooked up a special '97-'02 promo mix. This one covers the bases like only he can do it - classic tracks from the No U-Turn camp, Hardware and all points in between. If you [...]

Word from Rosenberg is that the idea for the next phase of Juan Epstein is two-three regular Juan Eps, weekly. And he says that by dropping a new Juan Epstein with T.I. ! It's less than a half hour, but there's shit you ain't heard before from Tip. Fire. DOWNLOAD Juan Epstein (5/17/2012)

Third visual from Always Inspire(d) . Directed by No Sleep Pro . Allen Iverson. Once this video reaches 3K views, the video for (my favorite cut) "180 (Pro)of" will drop. Let's go!

No word on when. Keep it locked to [adult swim] , I guess. I'm just hoping that the last year has actually birthed animation (or at least writing), so we can get this out sooner rather than later. Still wish I had gotten one of those soapboxes , too!

Newest/latest edition of the Combat Jack Show features Alfred Spellman & Billy Corben of rakontur . I took it down early, but it sounds like this is one of the best interviews they've done. One of the reasons why this show is worth it - yeah they can pull dynamic interviews out of Fab 5 Freddy and other Hip-Hop luminaries, but they are versatile enough to flip dope conversations from other facets. And with word of Chuck Brown 's passing , BenHaMeen also does a dope [...]

Featuring P Money , Little Dee & Blacks . Forthcoming on errorhythm Recordings May 28th.

As Juan Epstein says, everything else is shit, so they're churning out more Juan Eps. I'm not mad at that at ALL. This edition brings forth Curren$y , with Spitta going over his story and plenty more. Word from Rosenberg is that Season 4 of Juan Epstein is winding down, with Season 5 being their " biggest ever ", including the iPhone app, regular shows, etc. Go in. Shouts to @ pleasedontstare , @ zillz and @ AreaFY for hooking me up with [...]

I'd tell you how quickly this project turned around, but you wouldn't believe me. When I heard that a limited edition of XXX with a bonus 7" with four acapellas dropped on Record Store Day last month , I had a feeling Nappy would be going in like this. And I fucks with it more than I thought I would. We champion the melding of Hip-Hop and Bass Music all day, everyday, and that "Blueberry" single proves how effortlessly Danny Brown can rip the shit you guys turn your noses at. [...]

Not sure if this is a promo mix in support of the 2012 Bad Taste Tour or recorded DURING the 2012 Bad Taste Tour, but it's 31 minutes of fresh DnB funk from Prolix . He drops in tunes of his from releases on Project 51, Bad Taste, Commercial Suicide and Playaz, as well as Hazard 's "Food Fight VIP", which is taken from the forthcoming Very Important Playaz EP , which should be out soon. Also, that Upbeats remix of "Diplodocus" get me every time. [...]
