Apologies for taking a while to post again its been a hectic week and weekend but back with a new dose of dubstep for you. Now as I'm sure you all know Sub Focus is releasing a new track entitled Out The Blue. Now personally I think its a really good track as it is, but then I heard Xilent's remix and its a proper tune. Giving is a much deeper complexion than the original and really bringing it into the dubstep spectrum. Well worth checking out.
Apart from that there is very little out there at the moment in terms of truly good music. With many artists currently producing their summer hits its a bit of a lull. So baring that in mind I thought I'd talk about something a bit different. Yesterday the Coachella Festival went ahead in California with many big names stepping up, but all the attention was on the "return" of Tupac. Hold your horses conspiracy theorists, it was a remarkably lifelike hologram of the rapper. Now I'm not a fan of rap at all but it just highlights how technology is being used to do amazing things within the music world and I think the more it gets involved the better.
That's it, short I know but whatever. Enjoy.

Good Friday Bass
Morning all and a Good Friday to everyone. We all know that a truly good friday involves a fat joint and some good bass, I can certainly provide you with one. There has been little in the way of big releases this week, in the Dubstep world especially, after Borgore's latest album there seems to have been a lull, bar some tracks from Gemini and a Delta Heavy remix featuring Ria Ora who at the moment is in every fucking thing going. That said I do like the mix, its pretty heavy and has the oh-so-dubstep screams in it.
Now something that was literally released this morning that I actually quite like is a release from Dual Shock. You've never heard of them I know, but don't worry. They're signed to Gawa Recordings, I know you've never heard of them either. Dual Shock have been on the scene for a bit and are recognisable by they're wobbles and stammers. They won't be to everyone's taste but they're well worth checking out, the two newest releases are Sphex and Thor.
For you Drum n Bass fans again a quiet week but UKF have released a new track from Matrix and Futurebound entitled All I Know its a decent release with your typical Drum n Bass feel, although fans of instrumentals should steer clear as the lyrics will annoy you eventually. But apart from that I'm afraid I have nothing new.
Right now I've sourced some good bass I'm off to source a fat joint. Happy Easter. Peace.

Borgore's Misadventures In Dubstep - Review
So Borgore released his new album last week Borgore's Misadventures In Dubstep and it's had a mixed reception from well nearly everyone. As this is my first album review I just thought I'd do: overview, what I like, what I dislike, rating. Keep it simple and to the point.
OK so a general overview, well this album is bass heavy as you'd expect from Borgore there is nothing subtle here and fans are deep, grizzly bass will be all over this release. It's 16 tracks long, yes its a long album, however make no mistake, its not all Borgore, in fact, out of the 16 I think only 3 of the tracks are actually Borgore's, the rest are filled with tracks from: xKore, Tomba, Document One, Mojo, High Rankin and a couple of others. So to this this is Borgore's album is a bit of a cop out really, but all the tracks are in his style.
What I like: I like how Borgore just doesn't change, no matter what people say and although I'd like to see him try something new, as the saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it and what Borgore churns out certainly ain't broke. Tomba contributes with some really good tracks on this one of my favourites being "Kneeyan". The news leaked today that he will be hanging up his err...decks? and returning to his metal roots. We all wish him the best with whatever he goes into. Document One also come in with some real storming tracks such as "Tears". Thrown in the mix for good measure is also "Moving Together" which is a rel classic.
What I don't like: Well as I said earlier to call this Borgore's album is unfair on the other artists who contribute the majority of the album. When you look at those artists the other thing that strikes you is that they are all very similar, which leaves the album sounding similar throughout, whereas just a track or two with a slight difference would break it up nicely.
Rating: 7/10
A solid release from all involves, just nothing really new. Borgore's fans will just love it cause its him all over. Till next time, enjoy!
