Afro Monk

We had a lot of great submissions to the website this week.  Here are a few standout mixes for your listening pleasure this Fire Friday….

This first one comes from Dr. Knobz.  It’s a nice mix of glitchop and dubstep and includes some of my faves out right now. He also wants you guys to know that  him and Carly-D’s label, GruntWorthy, is going to be giving away a 20+ track compilation of free originals and remixes very soon.

Dr. Knobz – Nocturnum Mix

This next mix comes from Dirty Byrdz (Hexidecibel + Shiver) out of Seattle. They spent about 2 months getting the tracklist together for this one as well as waiting for tracks to come out or getting the ok from producers to use the unreleased ones. It includes a bunch of quality dubstep tracks and I think a found a few new faves in it.

Dirty Byrdz – Paper Chase

This next mix comes from DR. EW & JOHN BEAN who have been DJing in Philly for about 5 years now bringing heavy bass, dubstep, rap, hiphop and some thugstep to the scene. The mix is Terminator 2 inspired and has a lot of nice filth and thugstep in it. It was recorded live in Philly in December.  Wish I had made it out to that show cause that’s close to my hometown.  I started my day off with this one

Here are some mixes I’ve uploaded this week to help promote the DJs in Miami this week. I like to call this week WMC 2009 Part 2. The big boys are in town to bring the deep vibes to Miami again. Hope you enjoy these mixes as much as I have been.

Juan Basshead

This man is no stranger to the Miami electronic scene. In the early days he went under the alias Burn as a Drum & Bass DJ. He has taken this town by storm and put Miami on the map as one of the premier Dubstep cities in the States. Here is a clip of Mr.Basshead’s guest appearence on University of Miami’s radio station.

Skream B2B Benga

You could easily have a strong arguement that Skream & Benga are the biggest names in Dubstep. These Croydon boys have taken Dubstep from it’s primal stage to it’s current state. They’ve been making beats since the early 2000′s. Skream recently celebrated his birthday and this is what came from it. An epic mix from the birthday boy himself and his right hand man.

Mala

This man has made such an impact on dubstep that his label and group DMZ stand on it’s own level. Mala brings his own take to the music we call dubstep. A true pioneer in music. This mix is quite outdated but a favorite of mine due to what this man has to say about the culture. Call it an interview mix.
