Infrasonics - Volume 10


Yes, I know it's been a while since I've posted up an Infrasonics post, but to be honest, I've been swamped with schoolwork and whatnot, and now that I'm on spring break, I though it would be a good time to catch up on some of the releases coming up next month, which appears to be the month of releases for a lot of dubstep releases.

Wretch 32 feat. Example – Unorthodox [Forthcoming April 17, 2011]

I seriously have not been able to stop listening to this remix. In fact, I find most of Bar 9's remixes and productions to be very addicting to my ears. Plus, Example, who Bar 9 did a remix for not too long ago for his single "Kickstarts", is featured in this track. The single includes a radio edit, an instrumental, two dubstep remixes by Bar 9 and Distance, a house remix by Moto Blanco, and a sick drum & bass remix by Logistics.

Nate Dogg - Never Leave Me Alone [Music Video]


R.I.P. Nate Dogg | Nathaniel Dwayne Hale (August 19, 1969 - March 15, 2011)

The year was 1996 and I was in the sixth grade. At the time I was slangin' mixtapes for $5.00 a pop to my classmates and the older kids in the 7th and 8th grade. This was a time before High Speed Internet|iTunes|Torrents|Facebook|Napster and the only way we were exposed to new music was through the TV|Radio|Records. I wasn't fortunate enough to have cable growing up so all I had to rely on was good 'ol FM Radio and whatever new crates of records my older cousins came home with after their diggin' trips to LA.

I remember waiting for my ride after school. Unlike G1ockz and D$ I wasn't on the basketball team at the time [or any sports for that matter] so after finishing my homework I had nothing better to do than just sit and wait. One of the older kid's ride rolled through in one of the many standard and classic Long Beach rides[don't ask me what kind of car it was. i'm not into cars]. When the passenger side door flew open I heard that bass and that thump of the chorus. I went "ah ha! i need to find that song so I can throw it on so and so's mixtape!" I quickly jotted a note in my composition notebook and proceeded to hum the hook over and over until my dad picked me up...


As DJ Qbert said, "RIP = Rappin In Paradise!"

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - How Far (The 2 Bears remix) [Tour Dates]


Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs : Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud

Just went through a Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs listening binge just now. The weekend couldn't come any sooner. The coffee is really starting to kick in right now and this track is just the perfect addition to keep me going for the whole night. Below you will find The 2 Bears' interpretation of TEED's track How Far. It definitely still has that spacey vibe from the original but the groove is less "yay" and more "yeah". If that makes any sense to you, we should congregate at Hard this weekend...

Christopher Paul Stelling - Flawless Executioner [Live Video & Tour Dates]


Christopher Paul Stelling : Official | Facebook | Twitter | Bandcamp

Our good friends over at BreakThru Radio sent over another great video from another soulful artist. Things have been pretty crazy over here for me during the last couple weeks, and this is just the perfect song to put me in a peaceful + focused state of mind. Christopher Paul Stelling is a semi-recent transplant to New York city and only arrived with a guitar, duffel bag, and his music. Fast forward a few years and he's gone from a subway performer to a daytrotter, preparing for a residency at Rockwood Music Hall. Enjoy...

PhillySoundSystem [Feature Interview]


PhillySoundSystem : Soundcloud | Twitter

UK producer and DJ Nic Phillips aka Phillysoundsystem is a huge up and coming producer from the rising bass scene whose dubstep tracks have been featured prominently on Beatport. At 27 years old, he’s had his share of experience (about 15 years worth) in the world of music production and DJing. With two EPs released under LU10 Records, his tracks have a wide variety of sounds and influences that set his tracks apart from many contemporary dubstep producers. We were fortunate enough for him to take the time to give us an insight into his productions, what’s coming up in the near future for him, and more. -fabricated

fabricated: Before I begin, thank you for doing this interview with us. First thing’s first, how did the name Phillysoundsystem come about?
PhillySoundSystem: PhillySoundSystem came about for 2 main reasons, My surname is Phillips and I wanted a name that would represent my own sound. Back in the day music was heard on “SoundSystems” so get there particular sound across, which this combination of names I was hoping to get the same vibe across to people who buy/listen to my music

fabricated: I read Beatportal’s “The Frontlines – Dubstep November Edition” from a couple months ago and I noticed that you started producing over 10 years ago. How did you get your start into production and how did you find your way into the bass scene?
PhillySoundSystem: Yea its near 15 years now, I was in school about 11-12 and my music teacher allowed me to stay after school in the studio and try and figure out how 2 make my compositions onto a computer. I started of on Atari Notator, then progressed from makin white labels (vinyl) and my 1st genre I started making was Jungle and Speed garage. Dubstep is like a new form of Drum and bass in the fact that all types are covered and are accepted. I like to make music away from the norm and Dubstep has allowed me to do this.
