#throwbackthursdays Rusko - Jahova

This massive anthem was probably THE first dubstep song I ever heard, and probably THE dubstep song that got me hooked to the sound several years ago. And I think that this tune just fits in with the summer vibes and the grimey, humid weather that has been blanketing Southern California the past couple of weeks now.

This had to be the song, at least when I first heard dubstep, that people had to (or at least, should have had to) know. When I first got into dubstep, this song had that whole "If you haven't heard 'Jahova' and you say you listen to dubstep, then you don't listen to dubstep" kind of impact. And I know there's a whole lot of political issues nowadays of what defines "dubstep," but that's for another day. But there's no denying that this song was and still made a huge impact on the dubstep scene today.

Enjoy!

P.S. Rusko, if you ever read this, PLEASE play Jahova at the next gig you have in Southern California. I was bummed that you didn't play it at the Palladium show NOR did you play it at EDC this year :(

HARD and SMOG present Dub Police Tour 2012 at House of Blues Hollywood 3/3/12 [Concert Review]

The Dub Police Tour presented by HARD and SMOG made its stop in the LA area at the House of Blues Hollywood off Sunset Boulevard this past Saturday, March 3rd, 2012 with a massive line up that caused people to flock to the venue from everywhere – I saw cars from Maryland and Georgia in the parking lot, just to give you an idea of how far people probably traveled for this completely SOLD OUT event. I saw people who desperately wanted to get in asking everyone in line if they had an extra ticket to the event. The line to get into the event was insane, wrapping around the whole entire House of Blues and extending further down Sunset.

On the decks for the evening were Matty G, a surprise set from The Others, D1, a back-to-back set with Trolley Snatcha and Subscape, and Dub Police label founder Caspa headlining the show. The sound system for the evening was cranked up to floor-rattling volumes and you could tell that mostly everyone that attended the show were pretty huge fans not just of the Dub Police label and artists, but of dubstep and bass music in general – this was apparent as I was standing in the long line and saw people sporting Circus Records, Dub Police, Sub Soldiers, and Rusko shirts as well as blasting their favorite dubstep songs out of their tiny iPhone speakers. While the event did start an hour later than the ticket advertised (the event started at 9pm instead of 8pm), as soon as Matty G started playing, the sonic assault of basslines was just nonstop throughout the whole evening.

Full breakdown of the event after the jump!
