Datsik Missed WMC, Don't Miss Him Get Low

Last week was chaos, but it was worth it. I know the word "epic" gets thrown around a lot, but WMC 2010 was certainly an epic win for the Miami Dubstep movement. If you caught any of the parties we pointed you towards in the previous posts, you'll know what we mean. Unfortunately, due to some last minute VISA issues one thing was missing from WMC; a dubstep beast by the name of DATSIK.

Never fear kids, because April 15th we get another chance! That night Datsik is coming to Get Low at The Vagabond for his debut Miami appearance! We'll be celebrating the 9 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF BASSHEAD MUSIC that night as well!! As you know, Datsik's "Gizmo" / "Gecko" was recently released on BassHead Music,

who will also be dropping the Bassnectar record "Bass Head" on April 12th; making this a Record Release Party as well!

Check the flyers for all the info and make sure you spread the word!

Miami Dubstep Artwork in FTL

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of representing Miami Dubstep at Dialect a night of music and art at downtown Fort Lauderdale's Brew Urban Cafe. The event was put together by Kazilla Productions and Twilight Notes and hosted some of my favorite local artists like Jon Hunt, Mimi Botscheller, and Luzalma Gonzales. The Djs holding it down were Matthew P, Andie Sweetswirl, Kent Lawler, and Esoteric.

This is my piece from the show

If you're in the neighborhood be sure to drop in for a cup of coffee and check out all the artwork, they will be up for a limited time. If your interested in purchasing a print of Dubstep Beach you can email myself (massv_ataq@yahoo.com)

dj Wreck - "District 808" mix



DISTRICT 808 VOL. 1

MIXED BY DJ WRECK

Affiliations : Basshead Music (Miami), Transient Force (Miami), Fuel Records (U.K.)


DJ Wreck (Salim Rafiq) has assaulted the world’s most veteran B-Boys with his signature style of body rockin’ Electro-Funk and Swamp Bass. His dance-floor sensibility is uncanny and his understanding of both groove and time will take any dancer into a deep journey through the evolution of Bass music. His aggressive yet smooth blending habits are what set him apart from the rest.


In support of "Sound Off II", a mix CD he compiled and mashed-up for Fuel Records (UK), Salim has toured the UK and North America alongside fellow electro-breaks assassins Tipper, Cold Fusion Mafia, Si Begg and Andrea Parker. Breakin’ Point, XLR8R, M8, DMC and DJ Magazine took notice, hailing Rafiq, “A true Miami Bass DJ that will take any dancer on a deep, dark journey into electro-booty breaks territory.”


With the advent of a new era on the horizon, Salim has been working relentlessly in the studio. He has joined forces with UK drum and bass producer A-Sides to create the group LIVE 2 KILL. Their mission: To push boundaries on the dance floor by creating their own unique domain, where BASS is the key to unlock yourself from within. The duo has completed their 1st EP and has plans to finish their debut album this summer. Tremors have already been reported by the likes of Otto Von Schirach, Juan Basshead, Paul Blackford and Hydraulix. The LIVE 2 KILL EP was also featured on the "Jam on the Groove" radio show hosted by legendary Cozmo D of Newcleus.


Here's where you can catch dj Wreck and/or Live 2 Kill performing during Winter Music Conference 2010:

March 24th - GALAXY MUSIC GATHERING @ Club 90 Degrees
March 25th - SMOG vs BASSHEAD label event @ White Room

BASSNECTAR
a: "BASS HEAD"

We're very excited about our most recent signing. This will be the first vinyl release by Bassnectar in over a year! Side A is an 808-driven bassline workout; side AA is a dancefloor stomper with vocals by underground hiphop star Zumbi (Zion I). You've got to hear this release! It sounds like DnB and Dubstep made love and produced a Hip Hop baby.
