Twitter blackout, Interview, Radio play etc.

Twitter is ill. I am upset. That's all I have to say about it. Unfortunate.

However! Last night we completed our first little interview with miss Lara Crofton (@laracrofton) for her blog based out of London! Questions were straightforward and to the point, and will produce a fantastic result once published. I'll state again, I'll be posting the links once the actual post is published!

Another thing goin on, our buddy from across the pond Emmet Walker of Dublin, Ireland (@Mofo_Hobo) played out our Pursuit of Happiness remix this morning (early evening there) on his weekly show he hosts on PlayFMDublin. Emmet has helped us out a lot up until this point, and we have mad gratitude and respect for him because of it. Big up mate, appreciate all the help!

Also I must add, thanks going out again to the massive amounts of feedback we've received over the last few days. To everyone who's taken the time, thank you. I've always attempted to have a strong connection with each and every person who listens, and enjoys listening to our music, and I will continue to keep that connection both through here, or on Twitter. Thank you guys so so much for all the kind words!

In case you're finding it out here first, Tyler (P!NQu3) has finished up his FL3MBOT remix, and posted this absolutely MASSIVE tune called "Left Coast Zombie" literally, today. Both tunes are guaranteed to get your head noddin, and your body movin. As you may or may not have noticed, I always post the link to our soundcloud at the end of my posts, so if you have yet to hear these tunes, you know where to go!

Thank every one so much!

Massive ups to all you fans out there helping us out and jammin our tunes!

Wobble Bass Ruining Dubstep? Hardly...

Obviously I've been extremely active in my blogging today, but I've discovered something I can't pass up. So allegedly, all these forums and dub blogs etc. are claiming that wobble bass is ruining dubstep, as it ruined DnB. If you ask me, completely false. I personally enjoy the wobble aspect to MODERN dubstep, and how different it is to any other genre, with the exception of DnB. As everyone knows, dub evolved from UK Garage, Jungle, DnB, Reggae, HipHop, you name it. Modern dubstep has stemmed from all these genres in one way or another. Because of this, you're going to have a massive difference in sounds. There is still dub out there without wobble bass, as everyone knows and understands, including many of it's Jungle roots, just with a heavy sub bass. I don't fully understand how an implementation of a new sound, or new style, can ruin a genre. It isn't as if Soulja Boy decided to start producing...

Simply put, if you believe that wobble bass is ruining dubstep, you're wrong. In all actuality, it is HELPING BRING fans to dubstep. I couldn't even tell you how many people I know here in the states who love dubstep simply because of that aspect. And to those who don't want dubstep to go commercial, you're also wrong. It's only a matter of time. And once dub becomes commercial, your favourite dub artists can quit their day jobs and actually focus on TUNES PRIMARILY for once, furthering dub evolution. Which I personally don't stand against.

Well, that's all. Spoke my peace.

Big up readers,

PS: Saw this on one of the forums in question, and yes, it's meant sarcastically.

Dayn - Stomp

This is definitely for the grime lovers. I actually heard this tune when Diesel dropped it on a Chronos Records live webcast. The song itself is still relatively unknown, but that surely doesn't take away from the impressive nature of this tune. Grime, bass, noise. Listen, and watch your face hit the floor. This one is sure to become a staple tune for Grime DJ's across the land. Big up.

Oh PS: Photoshop fun!

Magnetic Man - I Need Air

So this is the new tune by the dubstep supergroup Magnetic Man. The song OFFICIALLY dropped as of yesterday. The group consists of Skream, Benga, and Artwork. Song itself is extremely poppy-jump up dub. Very very commercial, which contrary to popular belief isn't always bad. I dug the vibes in this one. Extremely catchy, and the sub bass is pretty phat. Definitely a club song here. But I'm curious to see if anyone else caught this: The synth piece thats comes in near the end... Definitely recognize that sequence from Skream's soundcloud tune entitled "MAD" which was released ages ago. Just a thought. Well all in all I enjoyed it. Hope you did the same.

Finally got me a blog... Lets see who finds my thoughts, or music, interesting

SO, bloggers, this is my first blog post ever, without of course including the sporadic, and random posts you may or may not have read on MySpace, or Facebook. HOWEVER, I plan on using this to inform everyone I know of new tunes, new goings on, new whatever, rather than the non-reliable ranting route I had taken prior. That's why it's called a blog I guess. Well, I figured as this is my first blog post, I'll take the liberty to inform everyone reading who I am, what I'm about, my alcoholic beverage preferences etc. I'm Jacob Fleming, for starters. I'm a student of journalism (or communications... haven't quite decided yet), a dub-step producer for the collaborative group D.A.M., intellectual, music addict, football (soccer) fan, tad strange, internet junkie, over-analytical youth of Houston, Texas. I figure that sums me up quite well, pleased to meet you.

But down to what I actually plan on doing with this blog: Tunes. Yes, tunes. Essentially, all I do throughout my day, with the exception of attend class, do homework, and degrade women, is listen to, and find, tunes. You may envy my life, and I do not blame you. But once again, as this is my first blog post, I find I must include a killer tune to start my little blog off with... So I decided on this one.

I have been absolutely OBSESSED with this tune lately. Flux Pavillion is a dub producer from Northampton out in the UK. His synth sections are simply gorgeous in my opinion. He's allegedly dropping an EP this year at some point... You know who'll be in like to get it.

Well big up massive for readin'! We'll see how this blog thing goes. But as for first posts, I believe that was up to par yeah? Well, continue to watch, read, listen etc.
