Whoa-B: Ten Minute Dubstep Mix


I just had to post this. My friend and musical counterpart, Chicago's DJ Whoa-B, made a video of himself mixing dubstep on vinyl in January 2008. He posted his 10 minute mix on YouTube. Well, today his mix hit one million views! I think that is an incredible statistic.

FREE Download - J Courage "Polar" forthcoming on Trenchant Dubs

Polar by Trenchant
Trenchant Dubs hits a milestone with the release of The Bloodlines E.P. This is the 10th release from the label. This e.p. was meticulously curated and assembled by label head J Courage. It is admittedly his greatest accomplishment to date. J Courage’s own opening track “Polar” takes the listener on a trek across a frozen arctic landscape. A cold and stark beat builds pressure and keeps the track moving along. This sort of progressive dubstep-inspired track is the perfect introduction to the rest of the e.p. Next, Portugal’s EDS brings some heavy atmospheric soundscapes and glitchy skittering beats to the forefront, leaving plenty of room for the throbbing sub-bass underneath. This is another next-level production, which stays outside the formula of a standard dubstep track, yet utilizes many of the elements commonly found in some of the genres most popular songs. Bringing the vibe up a notch is young upcoming American producer, Subvader. He uses distorted bass and vocal samples to build the excitement and then drops the hammer on any unsuspecting listener. “Y’all Can’t Handle Me” is perfectly suited for the heavier dj’s, yet keeps with the non-traditional theme of the rest of the e.p. Finally, Italy’s hottest producer, Aquadrop, delivers a tune which sets him apart from other current producers. “Sun And Numbers” is a naturally building, perfectly produced song and makes for the perfect close to the e.p. His keen sense for sequencing a track has lead him to a creation that should call even further attention to his talent as a musician. The Bloodlines E.P. is definitely a celebration of not only the outer reaches of dubstep, but rather electronic music in general. It should be a good indication of the scope of talented international musicians all creating incredible and cohesive music while still showcasing a freedom in their personal forms of expression.
