E-Mission – ‘Reconcile’

Jake Dubber — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 17:40:33 +0000

Going deep on this one. I’m a massive fan of E-Mission’s new stuff – big, big tunes. Listen to the sexy percussion. Trying to get the man to stick this one up for free download for you guys, so we’ll hopefully get an update on this soon.

E-Mission (Andy) into dubstep pretty early on in 2004, which is especially early when you consider that he’s based in the US. He has a regular radio show on Ustream which you can find here every Thursday night (around midnight UK time). It’s really great.

Instromnia – ‘To Those Who Can Hear Me’

Jake Dubber — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 17:56:38 +0000

Haven’t listened to Instromnia for a little while, but listening to this reminds me that one should always keep up to date with this guy. This is superb. Beautiful chilled hip-hop, glitchy, cut up Kate Bush vocals and that superb Charlie Chaplin speech from The Great Dictator.

Instromnia is an Aussie with some serious talent when it comes to music. He does some pretty great drum & bass mixes, which you can listen to here, and he’s got an EP coming up. You should be excited.

Silas & Snare Surgeon – ‘Stone’

Jake Dubber — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:23:46 +0000

Here’s a great bit of slightly garagey, early-dubsteppy bass music. It’s got a really nice chilled, psychedelic feel to it (although that might be the flu that’s currently ravaging my brain). Enjoy and play loud.

There isn’t a lot of information about Silas & Snare Surgeon on their Soundcloud pages, but from what I can tell they’ve both been producing for about a year. Silas is based in Manchester and Snare Surgeon is down in London.

Deep Volt Mixtape 004

Boom! Deep Volt mixtape 004 is here! This is a nice diverse one here. Great bits of dubstep, garage, ambient, chiptune, hip-hop and house. This is my favourite so far. Enjoy.

1. Chubbsy Malone, Brucifer, Kase1 and Bepe D – ‘Gotta Have It (prod. by Kruger)’
2. Whitely – ‘Mothership’
3. Benjamin Wylie – ‘The Guardians’
4. DJ Tax Suck – ‘Sampled Celebration’
5. Nicorisone – ‘Standing in the Line at the Airport (Redux)’
6. Jake Dubber – ‘Reptilicus’
7. Ryan Rees – ‘Waverunner’
8. Bluebell – ‘Normal Heights (Royal Scams Remix)’

Nicorisone – ‘Ben’

I’m really loving this new one by Nicorisone. It’s like if dubstep had a baby with the love child of trip-hop and hip-hop and then stood really far away in a church. Just like that. Just have a listen, ok?

Nicorisone (Chris) is currently based in Southern California, but grew up in New York. He does a lot of dubstep-inspired experimental bass music and, from my experience of his tunes, specialises in clever and interesting percussion.

Chezza – ‘I Don’t Give A F**K’

Jake Dubber — Tue, 15 May 2012 18:47:56 +0000

I know, I know – I haven’t posted anything in a whole 10 days. You had to go and find good music all by yourself. Don’t worry, I’m back now, and with some seriously good hip hop. This tune is, despite the weather in the UK, awesomely summery. I’m in Brazil, so this is perfect.

Chezza (James) is an 18 year-old rapper, singer and producer from Leicester, UK. From what I can gleam from Soundcloud, he’s been producing for nearly a year, although I think it’s likely that that’s just how long he’s been posting stuff online. No one gets this good in just a year.

Deep Volt Mixtape 003

Jake Dubber — Sat, 05 May 2012 22:37:28 +0000

Huzzah! The third Deep Volt mixtape is out! Prepare your self for some wicked dubstep and drum & bass from all over the world – Canada, France, Britain and America. Some really amazing stuff here.

1. MonoPoly – ‘Forest Dark (Magoula Remix)’
2. Tempra – ‘Cast Out’
3. Nicorisone – ‘Ghost’
4. Imogen Heap – ‘Hide & Seek (Instromnia Remix)’
5. Borhia – ‘Human System 2.0′
6. Jake Dubber & Envyus Squad – ‘Hell City’
7. Vylex – ‘Xtermin8 (Evac Protocol Remix)’
8. Eddie K & Minus – ‘Activate (Young D Bootleg Remix)’

Mono/Poly – ‘Forest Dark (Magoula Remix)’

Jake Dubber — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:39:43 +0000

Here’s a lovely relaxed and melodic dubstep tune for you all to chill out to this week. I’m playing this quite loud in the studio right now. Just what the doctor ordered.

As far as I can tell, Magoula is based in Miami and has been producing music for about a year now. We first encountered each other on DubstepForum and I’ve been following him on Soundcloud ever since. He’s very, very good.

Nicorisone – ‘A Summer Minute’

Jake Dubber — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:00:16 +0000

Yet again Nicorisone has produced a stunning bit of groovy, atmospheric, trip-hoppy awesomeness. Unfortunately for us, the majority of Nicorisone’s best tunes are either unfinished or only a minute long. Why so short, Chris? We (I, at least) demand longer tunes!

Jake Dubber – ‘Yah Mon’

Jake Dubber — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:32:16 +0000

Here’s a tune I made a few months ago whilst in India. Since I made it, I’ve gotten a little better at mastering and my mate Vijay in Envyus Squad really likes this tune, so I thought I’d touch it up a bit for him. Incidentally, it now sounds decent enough to drop in a DJ set, which is exactly what I’m doing on Sunday at the Bananada festival in Goiania, Brazil.

I’ve been producing music since August 2010, primarily dubstep. Apart from music, I pretty much just do cool things on the internet. I recently went to India to work with musicians and music festivals and now I do pretty much the same thing here in Brazil.
