Last Sunday, June 17, Goth-Trad played out a massive set at SMOG Sundays to a very eager and bass-hungry crowd. His performance at SMOG Sundays in Hollywood at Dim Mak Studios was one of his stops for his west coast tour of the US. For those of you who haven’t heard of Goth-Trad, he’s a Japanese dubstep producer who has had several releases out on Mala’s highly respected bass music label Deep Medi Musik. Goth-Trad’s latest release was his LP New Epoch on Deep Medi Musik, which is essentially a very minimalistic yet deep and substantial album that embodies the Deep Medi vibe. He also made an appearance on Bassweight, a documentary about the origins and rise of dubstep that I would highly recommend viewing if you want to know what dubstep is really all about.

SMOG Presents: Von D @ SMOG Sundays 6/10/12 [Concert Review]

French bass music producer Von D was in town for his first LA appearance, and let me tell you, I was pumped that he was going to be at SMOG Sundays. Even though he came on a weekend that a good amount of the LA crowd was in Las Vegas for EDC, that didn't bother me ‘cause that meant more room and bass for me. Von D is underrated with his style – he brings that "sexy" form of bass music with female vocals while also bringing in that dark and deep bass. I use the word “sexy” because of his track "Show Me" – just take a listen to his latest LP "Daydreaming," and you will understand.

SMOG presents: Rustie @ SMOG Sundays 5/20/12 [Concert Review]

SMOG presents: Rustie [Warp Records] @ SMOG Sundays//Dim Mak Studios
Big ups and many thanks to Drew and everyone w/ the SMOG crew for their continued support + hospitality. By far some of the easiest + coolest cats to work with. We made the trek up to hollyhood on holiest of days, the Sabbath. For some it's a day of rest and for those like us it's a day to absorb and experience new music. We brought along our fellow alien artist travelers, Bass Commander + T'Challa Lee from the band Z, along with us so they too could experience this form of Bass music first hand...

 SMOG Sundays @ Dim Mak Studios | 21+ $5 w/ RSVP here
For the bass hungry look no further. SMOG has your Sundays covered. We here at Dank Radio are frequent attendees to SMOG's Dubtroit event down at The Observatory once a month and have yet to make the trek up to Dim Mak Studios for their SMOG Sunday events. Don't let this discourage your future decisions. The lower level frequencies at that venue will please any audiophile and their steady offering of BASS artists do not disappoint. And plus you can't beat a $5 show w/ RSVP.

Bassrush and Funktion continue to bring a range of bass music from all over the world to warm the walls of Dim Mak Studios in Hollywood for all in attendance.

Nosaj Thing and Free the Robots will be providing the beats and the bass along with Bay Area's Thriftworks. Check out Nosaj Thing's mix from Mary Anne Hobbs last weekend to get a taste of tonight's rhythms.

This was my first time attending a Bassrush event as well as attending an event at the Dim Mak Studios in Hollywood, formerly known as the Cinespace. Bassically (see what I did there?), I didn't know what to expect, which I felt was a good thing, because it meant that I had no expectations (good or bad) walking in. After spending a good amount of time looking for parking, I finally was able to get to the venue. Although I was a bit late, I managed to get there right when Reso was starting his set.

Bassrush|Funktion Wednesdays presents Breakage + Crizzly + Neuropunk @ Dim Mak Studios [Tix]
No introduction needed for Breakage, the man representing bass music so deep that Pete Tong describes it as music that communicates with whales and deep sea creatures. Having experienced his performance at last years Coachella I can attest to what Mr Tong has stated. Many selections from his latest release titled Foundation [purchase @ Beatport | Amazon], currently out on Digital Soundboy, are staple tracks in not only my dj sets, fabricated's sets, but on Dank Radio as well. His track Justified was my introduction to his sound and I later become obsessed with tracks like Old Skool Ting and Hard after hearing them for the first time during his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. His set later on tonight is surely not to be missed. Don't sleep on tickets. You don't want to be sorry you did...
