With our main wobble man Evan out due being held captive by the corporate 9-5 grind, I have taken the reins to provide you all with your much desired deep bass madness. We have some great material for you this week and I am glad to be taking over this week as I discovered myself at Spring Awakening the other weekend being quite the dub-head seeing some key acts such as Kill The Noise, Downlink, Datsik, Skrillex, and Flux Pavillion. Anyways, enough about me, this is about you, so lets get to the bass and help you guys get through the hump of the work week (plus a little surprise at the end).
This first track has been getting been getting abused on my iPod and I don't mind it at all. Figure with his latest single, "What Do You Need" takes as he describes, a spin off of the Daft Punk classic, "Rollin and Scratchin". When you think about what he says it is pretty easy to point out in the song as the heavy synthesizers being cranked and broken up really make the song a memorable one. Not to mention the robotic voice build:
Borgore just recently came out with a much awaited EP Decisions. This is much more high paced and upbeat than the Borgore I'm used to but that in no way is a comment against the man. The new EP signifies possibly a new direction for Borgore that could catapult him into real stardom. The remixes are great but we gotta focus on the man himself with the key track:

I've never really listened to Big Gigantic but I've always been a big Savoy fan. So when I heard that Big Gigantic was remixing Savoy's record, "We Are the Sun", I figured I'd check it out. It's a fun mix between dubstep and drum & bass. Be sure to take advantage of the free download:
If you don't know Adventure Club, get on the VCH train and learn to recognize these guys. So much grime yet uplifting feel to their tracks that it is difficult to turn it away. Check out their most recent work in this key piece "Need Your Heart":
This next Popeska track is an easy track to like. Especially with a little Dead Prez sampling and some hip hop swagger to the dubstep:
Keeping with the hip hop influenced tracks and drug references, this latest work from Dave Dialect is a little slower paced Dubstep track that reminds me a little bit of Benga's style. Be sure to add this to your dub playlist:

So as for the surprise, I've been chatting with people about the rise in popularity of Moombahton. I think it is progressively becoming a force to be reckoned with in the industry. And for that I give you a little taste into one of the fastest growing genres:
In other news, some of you may have already read Dubstep legend, Bassnectar's little write up addressing the rising controversy of 'button pushers'. If you can 10 minutes out of your day aside from reading my bland writing check out this insightful opinion:
