Dubstep: what started as an experimental genre in England in the 2000’s has seeped into the veins of most electronic music lovers and into main stream radio stations (how many times have you heard Bassnectar’s remix of Ellie Goulding on KDWB?!). The term holds most flexibility as its sounds differ from producer to DJ and from person to person. And this Wednesday, Minneapolis welcomes back the king of fluid dubstep, Rusko, whose songs change from disco beats (“Feels so Real”) to jungle (“Kumon Kumon”). Similarly, his newest album release Songs on Diplo’s Mad Decent presents a variety to this genre of music: from reggae roots to R&B vocals. Join us this Thursday at Myth for some bass bliss and don’t forget to enjoy another Drop & Gimme 20, Rusko style.

Kill the Noise is an amazing producer/performer who aligns his sound with the likes of the multi-genre producers that are taking over the game. He played at the Varsity Theater in December to a bunch of raving dub and electro fiends. His dj sets include pretty much what you hear in the teaser video link… intense dub, raging electro, and whatever else he feels like throwing into the mashup. He will rage. It’s crazy that he is playing the same show as Feed Me! KTN headlines on his own, yet on March 30th he will put his intense sounds on display once again for the Twin Cities massive, setting up for the multi-media experience that is “Feed Me With Teeth.”

Check Out: Alvin Risk

I’m hoping you all know about this guy already. He’s spreading over the interwebs like wildfire with some of his jawdropping remixes. Opening for guys like Skream, Benga and Designer Drugs. Risk is definitely not going anywhere but up from here.

Dada Life: Digging Deeper

tylerhamptonmusic — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 15:18:00 -0600

Long before they were “Kicking Out The Epic” or “Unleashing The Dada”, the Swedish duo was “Voting Yes” and investigating “The Great Fashionista Swindle”. Despite their meteoric rise since 2010, it was in 2006 that they started turning heads with their unique sound.

So ahead of their Friday appearance @ Epic Nightclub, get familiar with some of their lesser known, but equally impressive tracks:

Dada Life - Big Time (2006)

Dada Life - We Meow, You Roar (2007)

Dada Life - The Great Fashionista Swindle (2007)

Dada Life - Vote Yes (2007)

Dada Life - Sweeter Than Fever (2008)

Dada Life - Don’t Snort The Yellow Snow (2009)

Watch out for: Einsauszwei

This German DJ duo started a project that I personally think is genius. Taking deep house or tech house tracks and pairing them with movie clips so perfectly you’d think that they were meant to be that way. They’re nothing but moving and romantic.

Check out more of their clips on Youtube and like them on Facebook :)
