Dubporn Records Releases DP003: Porphyro's Qualia EP

After the successful release of Inanna's Touch Me EP, Dubporn Records comes from a very talented young man out named Oliver Wallace, also known as Porphyro. Only 22 years of age and based out of Canterbury London, Porphyro's sound can be described as a mature take on Modern World Bass Music.

The EP, titled Qualia, features two tracks which showcase what could almost be the range of his sound. The first track, 'Finance' draws heavily from the deep bas sound with emphasis on bass and a trance inspired vocal track. The second, 'Never', is an airy, spacey track that almost floats effortlessly by.

Set to be released on October 10th, Qualia can be purchased at one of many fine online retailers.

Porphyro: Finance by Dubporn Records

The music video for Finance will be out on the same day, Directed by Adrianna Moschides, Lauren Valdes and STENFilms.

BassHead Releases "BASSMENTALITY" by ZEDS DEAD & THE KILLABITS! Remix by FIGURE!

If you're a good BassHead, you've already hit your favorite digital outlet (Beatport, Itunes, etc) and bought their latest release by Canadian duos ZEDS DEAD & THE KILLABITS called "Bassmentality." Bassmentality is also the name of the artists' Toronto party, where JUAN BASSHEAD has played multiple times. BassHead helped bring ZEDS DEAD (and hopefully THE KILLABITS soon) here to GET LOW for their first Miami show, so you see it was natural for Juan to put out the two groups' first musical collaboration.


Thanks for helping the home team get up to #4 on the Beatport Dubstep chart!


Now if you haven't bought it, go do it, so we can push BassHead Music to number 1! We leave you with our final argument, this intense drumstep remix by sought-after producer FIGURE.

PREVIEWING SOME NEW DAVE BETAMAX

Vudoo feat. Dionysiac [Preview] by Dave Betamax

Dave Betamax returns with a preview of a track from his forthcoming release, Floating Rocks, scheduled to drop at the end of the year. This is also part of a side project he is cultivating that will go by the name Dead Tongues. This track is a score from an unwritten movie based on Japanese folklore. The song begins with a dark, ominous atmosphere sprinkled with the haunting piano of one of our mysterious newcomers, Dionysiac. The track throws you deep in the jungle with deep vibrations, hard hitting tribal drums, and seductive vocals.

New Moombahsoul and Drumstep/DNB Mixes From Get Low's Ashworth [Tracklist update]

We were getting so many people disappointed that GET LOW wasn't happening the week they came to (((SHAKE))), we had to do something about it. So we stepped up our bass game with DJs like ASHWORTH, GOODDROID, and TWO WAY coming in to spin on The Vagabond Patio each week. You're not going to get any tear-out crazy brostep out there, but you can expect plenty of deep Dubstep, experimental Hip Hop, Future Garage, Moombahton, Moombahsoul, etc, etc. So feel free to stop by (((SHAKE))) any Thursday you need bass!

DOWN Welcomes THE GET This Sunday

This Sunday, Down Sundays welcomes special guest  Edwin Jantunen aka The Get. He's a member of Sumsun and creator/resident of Lushhaus and has started a futuristic RnB solo project. You may have heard his amazing set at the last Get Low, be sure not to miss him at Down.

Check out his set from Get Low below and download it here. 

The Get Live at Vagabond // Miami - 8.25.11 by The Get

CHALK.'s Set on Where Were U in 02

Two way here,



Big ups to anyone who tuned int his past Sunday for a pretty special edition of Where Were U in 02. I had producer Chalk come through the studio, in full force Entourage-style, perform a wonky-as-fuck set for the show. Weaving genres from hip-hop, trip-hop, 60s psychedelic, dubstep and jazz-- it was definitely a really special ting.

Using his Newmark midi controller, he fashioned some nutso improvisation.

Definitely worth checking out!

Ukulele (Mixtape)

It feels like a slow Monday so I'll post this mixtape I recorded awhile back. I find it kind of hilarious when I attempt to mix dubstep and then accidentally not use any dubstep tracks. This turned out to be more like a collection of influences that have been rattling around in my musical side of the brain lately (not moombahton.) An Ableton Live post-graduate boredom outlet (why not share it with a few peeps?) A visual artist by trade, I should be drawing (or something) but playing records in my bedroom takes my mind off things recent graduates occupy their nerves with.

2. Interleave (Kingdom Remix) - Win Win

The return of Down Sundays

 

If you're new to dubstep and bass music in Miami then you may not be aware of the party that we call Down. If you are familiar, read anyways 'cause this shit took a while to write!

In 2010 Gooddroid got together with a couple of Miami selectors that supported the deeper shades of dubstep, with the intent of providing a place to dance and hang out that you're not going to feel so bro'd out all night. After moving to a couple of venues, Bar Black became the home and many, many Sunday nights were spent drinking cheap beer, skanking out, playing Scrabble and video games!

With guests such as Scuba, Djunya, FaltyDL, Joe Nice, Scuba, Headhunter, Distance, Brenmar, Nick Argon and the best local talent, the night was solidified as the spot to hear deep dubstep, garage and future bass. Unfortunately Bar Black had to close it's doors to the public, just as I joined as a regular resident, and we've been pretty sad ever since.

After a period of time and effort, we've located our new home, in the side room at the newly renovated Eve, just around the corner from our previous home. While we may have changed homes, our passion for deep bass music hasn't, and we are very proud and excited to see our regulars, and new faces, every other Sunday starting September 11th.

Here are mixes from our residents, to give you a taste of what we have done, and what is to come.

Once again, Down returns on Sunday, September 11th at the side room at Eve nightclub (1306 N Miami Ave.), with no cover for everyone that's 18+ with residents somejerk, Gooddroid, Ashworth and Gray Ghost spinning the dopest and deepest in dubstep, garage, future bass and everything in between. 


Peace and respect to all crews, Miami and internationally, that support the bass music movement and extra extra love to our friends at Get Low/Shake, BassHead Music, Smile For Camera, Bass-Love, Smut + Bass, and the Miami Dubstep family.

Lunice – ‘LIVE FROM’ RED BULL MUSIC ACADEMY PRES. MAJOR LAZER AT NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL

Sure, Miami is the hub and essentially the only place you can get original booty bass records on wax. And for a split-second, we all thought Uncle Luke was going to be elected mayor (he is partly responsible for this video). But Miami is also home to primary strands of dirty south, thug rap, of which you can finds thousands of mixtapes at the Carol City Flea Market. It's a sound that we're accustomed to and hear on a regular just listening to 99Jamz throughout the day.

Not until recently has this flavor of crunk'd-out 140 bpm rap evolved into less of a forum for MCs to spit on, and more of a producer-centered area of club banging. The fact that it has seeped into the UK bass mindframe w/ producers like Girl Unit, Salva and S-X, should be even more indication that tastemakers should be turning their heads over to the 305 for more influence.

That said, Toronto-based Lunice, who's been producing this same thug-conscious sound for the past couple of years, performed a set at London's Notthingham Carnival this past week, w/ Boiler Room (the Ustream UK electronic channel) on deck to document the whole thing.

(Below is the audio. Click on the blog post title to watch the set)



Dude has tons of energy, and his set spiraled between based rap, gangster-heavy UK bass, fringe footwork tunes and King of Diamonds-ready trap rap. I'm telling you-- this is a sound I feel us Miami Dubsteppers should really be exploring. It's not a foreign culture either-- it's rap we grew up either loving or hating (though, you were probably lying about hating it).



Lunice puts these familiar rap signifiers and connects it with the UK culture we're accustomed to, mixing Gucci Mane with Girl Unit into a synonymous category to a point where you don't even know whose song you're listening to anymore.

I've seen DJs connect the dots, like Juan B and Gooddroid. Let's all connect these dots and highlight some of the great stuff Miami has to offer by not dismissing the mainstream rap community that's built within the South, but highlighting/celebrating it.
