Hello again, it’s been way too damn long since my last post! So, in an effort to make up for lost time I’m giving you a big grab bag of some choice picks. Enjoy!

First Up! TRUTH and their EP, Stranger Than Fiction, that was released earlier this month on Skream’s label, Disfigured Dubz. The whole EP is great with a nice variance in sound between the tracks, while maintaing an ominous atmosphere throughout. Their track, ‘Bubba Ho Step’, is a deep, dark banger that is just pumping with energy.

Next on the list is DJG. I recently had the distinct pleasure of seeing DJG open for N-Type at the Bluebird Theater in Denver and needless to say I was very impressed. Woe is the listener who lacks a subwoofer and that is unfortunate for DJG because he is surely a master of the subsonic frequencies, an accomplishment made apparent many times over last Friday at the Bluebird. DJG is one of my favorite producers- the whole arrangement and energy of his tracks are just on point every time. Recently, he released a single ‘Time is the Fire’- Here is Time Is The Fire

For a label that has only been around for a year, Grizzly has really been building up an awesome catalog. To explain the sound of the label best I will just quote Sinden, the founder, “As far as music policies go, those went out the window a long way back! I can only say that the common ground between each release is a shared enthusiasm. If I get excited about it, it’s a Grizzly record. I’ve never been one to get bogged down in genres, the best stuff is always the grey area tracks that don’t fall anywhere.[...] A producer friend summed it up very concisely the other week ‘its just quality and fun bass music’. Thats it!!!!” So enjoy the title tracks from this years releases:

Midnight Marauder-Sinden & SBTRKT

Arnold Classics-Brodinski

Ewid Disco-WAFA

Chicken Lover (feat. Toni Toni Lee)-Bassanova

J-Wow, from Buraka Som Sistema, released his solo EP on Mad Decent this year and the title track is fuckin bangin! Definitely gets the bodies moving. Listen! O Dedo

Switching gears into some micro.house with Ark! His album, Arkpocalypse Now, was released this year on Perlon and the thing is chalked full with some low key grooves. Been playing this on repeat for the past couple days, definitely need to play these back out on the playa.

Finally, a couple selects from Jimmy Edgar’s new album, XXX. I first heard of Jimmy just earlier in the week when Skream posted the track ‘Physical Motion’ on his Facebook and I immediately started listening to more. Hailing from Detroit, Jimmy Edgar has been DJing raves since he was fifteen. While XXX isn’t exactly a Rave album, actually it’s not at all really, it is full of Prince-esque grooves and an ambiance of late nights and strip clubs.
