I've just been for a filling at the dentist. We discussed not eating boiled sweets for a day or so, but the NHS apparently had no advice to offer on the subject of exposure to teeth-rattling bass....

its free and has quite a bit of features.
if u are on a budget, and on a pc...i would highly reccomend it.

Yeah, Audacity's what I use too. Excellent bit of software, especially for free.

Save Me Dub by Digital Mystikz...although the fact that it hasn't been mentioned already is making me wonder whether it's actually been released and I've just missed it. Anyway, cheers to Distance for playing it on his show a couple of weeks ago and reminding me just how great it is.

Massive respect and thanks to Deapoh and Boomnoise for all that hard work and effort. Don't let the ungrateful scrotes get you down; they're way outnumbered by the people who genuinely value and appreciate what you do...and who would support it financially if necessary.

Yeah, bloody huge. Can't wait to hear it out and about.

Try the Omen EP on Tectonic. Really dark...but in a brooding, gloomy sorta way rather than an angry, nasty sorta way, if that makes sense. It's great, anyway.

Really feeling the Boxcutter LP, which I hadn't quite expected for some reason. Otherwise... Coki - Earth A Run Red Digital Mystikz - Misty Winter Mala - Hunter Skream - Monsoon (Loefah rmx) Shackleton - Naked Those two Quest tunes Skream/Distance - Political Warfare Loefah - Ruffage ...And I've pro...

Pre-ordered it from Boomkat a while ago and still haven't got it ! :( Likewise...but mine's just been sent at last and will hopefully arrive soon, so they're on the case. And, on the plus side, the wait has meant that I've had more time to appreciate the excellent Boxcutter CD...which I suspect mig...

I also recently heard a track in a distance set (i might be wrong could have been someone else) that had the "bludclott artattack" sample in it. Just listening to that now, coincidentally. It's about thirty-five minutes into Distance's show from 3rd April. Appears to be by Pinch, tune cal...

Gutted about missing this. Gutted about missing dubpressure last week too. Bah, curse this bloody flu!

Hope it's a good 'un, everyone.

lol!! no, it's not THE Wire... it's a Wire... Well, hey...thanks for letting me live the dream for a few hours! :lol: Pretty sure that the Wire are in hibernation at the mo, apart from re-releasing the first three albums and associated live stuff. (Jeez, what is it with me? I've already bored the W...

just wanna ask... would you like me to post details of what's on the show every Monday? Yes, please! Always good to know what's going on.... exclusives from: Wire <Falls off chair. Gets back on chair.> What, the Wire? Heavens, that's got my attention. It can't be anything new, can it? Can it? Can i...

the first full interview with burial is on my blog now plus some sound clips of the album. That's an absolutely fascinating interview. Not being a producer, I can't pretend to fully understand the stuff about techniques, but it perhaps explains one of my favourite musical moments of the last year o...

Good to see Danny RSW is still treadin' the boards. The man was a true pioneer. Amen to that. Dunno whether I'd be here without RSW, to be honest. (That's not to say that RSW saved my life, just that they started a fascination with bass and dub and beats and all, when I was mainly listening to Big ...

Arrived from Boomkat yesterday....

Vex'd - Bombardment of Saturn (which makes my head hurt)
Pinch - Qawwali (which makes my head feel better, so that I can stick Vex'd on again)

Sounds bloody good too!

That'd just about make my year, I have to say. Bloody love that tune. On the other hand, the neighbours might not be quite so keen....

Yeh - if you wanted the bass to really punch through, standing near the stacks on the balcony was the best place... It did sound pretty huge up there...my brain's still rattling from some of Loefah's stuff. It being my first DMZ, I bow to the superior knowledge of regulars on how it contrasted with...

Really great night. Mental set from Skream...I'd defy anyone to hear that and not fall in love with dubstep instantly.

Big up everyone making efforts to bring the sound to Brighton. Really paying off.

My standard recommendation to anyone and everyone is Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. A work of complete genius, and painfully relevant even now. Especially now.

Other than that, try Bret Easton Ellis. And try watching Celebrity Big Brother at the same time for added effect.
