Dubstepper

This lineup is pretty sick for a HARD event. Seems like they’re slowly starting to phase out electro DJ’s. Thank god. The venue looks crazy though. Hopefully the same thing doesn’t happen the last time they tried a new venue.

A little late on this but better than never. Here’s Rusko’s latest CD – O.M.G. This CD also has the track with Gucci Mane I was looking for a while back. Yeah, it sounded cool in the video.. Cool concept though but it fell way short of what I was expecting it to be. I was hoping for some 808 banger x dubstep vibe haha.

I also just read on Fact Mag that Rusko is going to produce a record for Britney Spears. Dude has come a long way in a very short time. I know many of you guys think Rusko is some cheesy commercial Dubstep producer but give this him some respect. He’s gotta be doing something right if he is getting all this recognition.

Enjoy. It’s a  great album.

This is not dubstep related but, I just received word that Nujabes has passed away. According to a friend of mine, he died from a car accident.

From Shing02:

Today, I have very somber news for the international hip hop community, especially fans of the independent hip hop scene, and those who have followed my career.

It has been announced that Jun Seba, aka Nujabes, Japanese hip hop producer extraordinaire, passed away late February. Official statement from the label (in Japanese) here:
http://hydeout.net/hydeout/2010/03/_hydeoutproductions.html

We deeply regret the loss of a unique talent and a close friend. Through his soulful music, Nujabes has touched so many people around the world, even beyond his dreams. He was a mysterious character to most as he avoided the public limelight, rarely conducted interviews, so only a few got to know the man behind the signature production. Yet it continued to amaze me how young listeners of all backgrounds learned of his enigmatic name, and expressed support for his music.

As I write now from Japan, I had been leaving him messages the past couple of weeks, trying to get in the studio together, so the news could not have come any more unexpected. Even last week, I passed by his house and called him thinking he was still home.

I met Nujabes around 2000 and as an upcoming MC, I was fortunate to work on tracks such as Battlecry, F.I.L.O, Luv(sic) parts 1, 2 and 3. We had been working on the next trilogy of Luv(sic) over the past year (which we’re determined to see through). The last time we talked in January, Nujabes emailed me to wish Jeff Resurreccion, a 19-year old beatboxer who had just passed way from cancer, his heartfelt condolences.

While we continue to respect the privacy of his family, we will work to preserve his legacy, and pay tribute to the body of work, some unreleased, that he has left for us to enjoy. Jun Seba will be dearly missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and fans worldwide.

It’s been a while. This dude blew up quick. He deserves it though, Sierra Leone is a straight banger. Here’s New Zealand’s very own, Mt. Eden.

Some more DnB. If you haven’t heard Danny Byrd’s album Supersized yet, go buy it or whatever method you use to acquire music. Hospital Records is one of my favorite record labels of all time. Everything they put out is quality.

DnB classic. I regret not seeing this dude at Nocturnal.. Acid at a rave is not a good look.
