Stop Being Naive Haters
What’s up with all the dubstep haters? I’m coming across a lot people who are unnecessarily aggro towards it and it’s odd.
Is it just too much of a departure from the current music climate of bad electro remixes and bedroom mashes from trust fund kids getting their parents to buy them Ableton and Serato? Could it be that a shift towards dubstep is too much to handle for those who are completely invested in a genre that is probably having difficulty finding new ways to be inventive? Or does it just seem too weird?
I don’t know the answer, but it’s probably a combination of things.
Sure, I can appreciate that dubstep is dark and spooky (believe me, Caspa and Rusko give me nightmares sometimes too), but you’re being naive if you aren’t recognizing the influence dubstep is having on next level music production on both indie and pop records. Everything from Rihanna, Major Lazer, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga… the list goes on and on.
Sooooo, haters… don’t be afraid of the unknown. You know those weird new sounds you’re hearing on that track you like? Yeah, those ones. It came from dubstep.
Drop The Lime – Devil’s Eyes (Diplo’s B-Live Mix)
Bassnectar – Cozza Frenzy (Z-Trip Hellrazor Remix)
Deadmau5 – I Remember (Caspa Remix)
Let’s Get Together
Okay okay okay.
It’s back to school time and we need to get together to celebrate something. Soooooo the Winnie Cooper DJs are taking over the Metropole (aka the Met) in Gastown!
I’m gonna wear my best oxford shirt and we’re gonna play the funnest songs EVER IN THE WORLD. That means big time pop joints, cheese rock crowd pleasers, the best electro remixes, dancey indie jams, rap favourites, 90s…
This long weekend Sunday, round up some friends and shine up your dancing brogues. This will be super duper! Plus we’ll bring some candy and you can have a piece.
Dance Area – AA 24/7 (Diplo Remix)
La Roux – In For The Kill (Twelves Remix)
Naughty By Nature – Feel Me Flow
the interview show: rye rye
If you haven’t heard of Rye Rye (aka Ryeisha Berrain), yet, you soon will.
She got her start in the Baltimore underground scene and gained a solid following for her dancing (check out her on youtube) and her unique voice and delivery.
Rye Rye was discovered by Baltimore superstar DJ Blaqstarr (who was a friend of her big sister). From there, Diplo got involved; then M.I.A. heard her and decided to mentor the young rapper. Oh yeah… did I mention she has just graduated from high school this year?
Rye Rye (featuring M.I.A.) “Bang” (Buraka Som Sistema Canivale Remix) Bang is easily the song of this summer and the spiritual daughter of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes”. I put up the Buraka Som Sistema remix cuz BSS need waaay more ups.
Rye Rye “Wassup Wassup” (Crookers remix) The song that started it all, remixed by Italy’s crazy dance floor demons.
Rye Rye was supposed to be back in town this summer opening for A-Trak, but she had to pull out! But she will be back soon when her full length drops.
