The MIA has invaded the UK once again! Tonight, BassHead Music boss and Get Low Resident DJ Juan BassHead is performing at legendary London club FABRIC with HATCHA (get a mix he did for this show here!!!), N-TYPE and other greats.

The flyer is below, and you can find out more info here.
Lucky for England, Juan was able to bring his Master of Ceremonies JUMANJI out with him, plus our homie Harold the MIAMI VAPE mastermind is there as well. See our overseas crew below, immortalized in the photography of FRANCESCO LOCASTRO. The whole MIAMI DUBSTEP MASSIVE sends good vibes to these guys repping our city globally!

MIA STEEZ - An American take on UK grime. Honoring the genres original grit, this track features a diverse use of repetition, inner rhyme, gutter lyricism and a speedy cadence that exposes Miami as the toughest city of BASS.

Take a flashback listen to Mary Anne Hobbs beyond epic Dubstep Warz show in honor of it's 5th anniversary. 7 legendary producers in the mix with the classic dubstep sound. Here's what Mary Anne has to say about it...
"January 9th >>10th 2011 is the 5th anniversary of the notorious Dubstep Warz transmission on my BBC Radio1 Breezeblock show. This show marked the global tipping point for the dubstep sound. Mala, Skream, Kode 9 & The Spaceape, Vex'd, Hatcha & Crazy D, Loefah & Sgt Pokes and Distance changed the world of global dance music forever. Dubstep Warz still sounds as vital, as primal and as thrilling as the night we threw it down.. it brings tears to my eyes. If, as a broadcaster, you can deliver one show with the cultural & historical impact of this one in a lifetime.. it's a miracle.."
This Wednesday, January 12th, we are celebrating the first full-length album release by DAVE BETAMAX!!! He will be playing a live set featuring originals from the album and other deep tunes. Joining him are Gooddroid, Gray Ghost, Magoula, and Parcell!
"Dissolved is a journey into a cold, lifeless town, surrounded by ghosts of ex-lovers and friends", so prepare to take a trip with us. Dissolved releases at the end of January, and will be featuring a visual-video to "Forgive Me."
Tonight, the folks at Down provide bass therapy for all of Miami's dedicated partiers. Try the trusty Hair of the Dog to go with sounds provided by guests Will Miles (playing a Special Atmospheric DnB set) and Smut & Bass' own Dave Betamax. They play alongside Residents: Ashworth (Get Low/Down), Gray Ghost (Down), Munkz (Glitch.FM/Down), Gooddroid (Get Low/Down).
They'll also be screening lots of obscure drug related movies and trippy Anime, Fatal Fury, Soul Caliber and Street fighter for PS3. As always, there's no cover at Bar (28 NE 14th, Downtown) and you can get $5 Red Stripes with a shot of whiskey all night. Doors open at ten. Down will be having their 1 year anniversary party on the 23rd, so mark your calendars and support this great party.
Everyone in Miami knows about the 18 Years running, 9 Mile Music Festival. Maybe you know it as the former "Caribbean Festival" or by the nickname "Marley Fest." This year the Marley's garnered the help of bass aficianado Juan BassHead and together they've put out quite an impressive lineup.
JUAN BASSHEAD + MC JUMANJI will perform of course, and they're bringing over some of their dubstep friends from the UK. I can't think of better dubstep ambassadors to the reggae/dub crowd than MALA of the Digital Mystikz and the Godfather HATCHA. The biggest surprise is definitely the booking of hipster favorite MAJOR LAZER. The group composed of producers DIPLO and SWITCH played insanely packed shows at Ultra and Grand Central last year, and should bring a whole other crowd to the festival.
9 Mile takes place at Bayfront Park the Saturday of Winter Music conference, March 12th and you can get your tickets here. More acts to be announced in the future, so stay tuned!
‘Lockdown’ is a simple tale – one of a man bounded down to an unwanted relationship. Of course, that makes this whole situation sound romantic – well, our boys have a different take on proceedings. High Rankin’s synonymous production is twinned with a wistful, chanson-based string ensemble whilst the Wizard Sleeve boys allow you to imagine the chase as they see it with their wantonly despicable lyrics.
