Rub-a-Dub, Sucka! (and some!)

I've been wanting to post this for about two days now. Keeping to a weekly schedule is hard when I feel like I'm sitting on so much music by talented artists. But finally! Monday is here! And that means it's time for a mixtape! Rejoice!


Low Low: Dirty & Low
Dubstep Mixtape


As I previously stated, Dubstep is an acquired taste. But it's so much fun once you understand it. Few genres can stand up to the energy of Dubstep without being aggresive. I first came across Dubstep in the cultural melting pot that is Toronto. Dubstep shows happen weekly there. You wouldn't believe some of the dance moves that are prevalent in this genre. They're both excited and confusing.


So, if you still don't understand the genre, download the mixtape and give it a chance.
As for the fanboys, get ready for some jams.

Trackss:

  1. The Big Weekend - Brain Matters DJs
  2. Run This Shit - Aniki
  3. ltwxrmx (j dilla's lightworks remix) - Flying Lotus
  4. Hide and Seek (Mt Eden Remix) - Imogen Heap
  5. Pro Nails (Rusko remix) - Kid Sister
  6. Death to the Throne - M.I.A
  7. 28 Hours Later - 12th
  8. Please Mr. Postman (Dubstep Refix) - Cragga
  9. Everyday Hustle (AC Slater Remix) - B.Rich
  10. Gutter Music (VIP) - Starkey (<- Thanks Jan!)
  11. Pony (Boson Remix) - Ginuwine
  12. Legacy - Rusko
  13. Swagga - Excision & Datsik
  14. Re-Up - Ginz & Joker
  15. Sierra Leone - Mt. Eden Dubstep
  16. Hammertime - Rusko
  17. A Milli (Excision & Datsik Remix) - Lil Wayne
  18. Crunked Up - Benga

Now, for those that can't stand dubstep but were really hoping for a mixtape this week, I have a little secret for you:
I'm in cahoots with another very talented compiler.


Party Prism (aka Contra-stiltskin, aka Tom Gustafson) put out a wonderful mixtape today, the second in his series of Monday Mixtapes. I've learned about quite a few new artists from his mixtapes and you might have just the same luck.

His post is as follows:
Friends.
I've been listening to a few tunes lately. Thought you may dig listening to them too. Not all of it is new stuff.

If you like any of these tunes:
Buy their album on iTunes
Go see them when they come to your city
Buy a T-Shirt from them
