Dub Step
This section is all about what Tunes are playing played out in my truck as I sit in LA traffic. This week it’s been a big Dubstep week in the whip. Mostly because I’m still waiting to get the newest Project Groundation mixtape with Pressure which my driving staple. I’m doing the new PGM clothing line this week too. So big tings a gwan!
So Dubstep is the latest mashup music form from the UK. It’s basically Dub music, classic reggae progressions and riddims but with spaced out echoes and tweaking. It takes some of the sound library of Grime and Drum and Bass music and adds that to Dub, which makes for crazy bass and glitchy sounds on top of classic riddims. The DJ’s I like the most are the more Roots Reggae influenced ones like Mrk1 and Juju, who use dub plates of Roots singers like Sizzla over the ill beats. I’ll put up some links and more about Dubstep. People in LA, my boys (SMOG) & (TempleofBoom) throw secret weekly dubstep parties and bigger monthly parties, I’ll link the info soon.
