Sub Slayers 013: Toronto Is Broken ‘Move It EP’

OUT NOW at BEATPORT

Toronto Is Broken – Move It EP

  1. Taking Over
  2. Cold Contact
  3. Move It
  4. Spirit Song 2012

Cat: SLAYER013 / Release: Jan 2012
File Under: Nu-Jungle / DnB / Dubstep / Breaks / UK Bass

He may only be 18, but Toronto Is Broken (Christian Hoffmann) is already making his mark bass music scene. Hailing from Barwell, Leicestershire, a village known as the manufacturing home of Noble cars and Hornby train sets, Toronto Is Broken already runs his own non-profit record label, Dual Signal Records, has played abroad and received BBC 1xtra support for his track “Into My Eyes”.

It’s clear Christian is keen not to be pigeon holed into one genre as this EP clearly shows. Spanning across Future Jungle, Drum Bass and Dubstep Toronto Is Broken shows us he’s clearly in the run for one to watch in 2012.

Heading up the EP is the fiercely energetic ‘Taking Over’ with its complex beats, uplifting pianos and deadly dubstepesque bass lines – peak time all the way!

Stepping up next is a no holds barred DnB track ‘Cold Contact’; a cross between DJ Fresh Sub Focus with sweet leads and devastating bass drops.

‘Move It’ can only be described as the most disgusting Dubstep riddim you ever heard, seriously this has to be played to be believed!

Getting a 2012 maker over is TiB’s ‘Spirit Song 2012’ with its haunting vocals that can be likened to The Prodigy’s ‘Smack My Bitch Up’, beautifully dangerous.

The Stanton Warriors Are Coming!!

On January 11, 2012, in events, music news, by D-Monic

In anticipation of the upcoming event featuring the mighty Stanton Warriors, we thought we’d give a bit of an education to those who live under the rocks… they need learnin’ too, you know.

Who Are The Stanton Warriors?

In 2001, Stanton Warriors laid down a fresh new sound with the seminal ‘Stanton Sessions’ that was instantly signed to XL Recordings.

Overnight, Stanton Warriors became the hottest producers on the planet, and today they continue to stay at the very pinnacle of their profession.

Stanton dj sets are famed for incorporating exclusive original tracks mixed with homemade edits / remixes of cutting edge sounds from underground house through to abstract hip hop and everything in between. It’s all blended into a melting pot of low down booty electro punkishness, and is continually reminding the world why Stanton Warriors have remained unrivalled in their genre for more than a decade.

What Do They Sound Like?

What Do They Look Like?

Where Can You See Them?

Check back later this week for a chance to win 2 tickets!

Prodigy: “We Won’t Go Near Dubstep”

On January 9, 2012, in music news, by D-Monic

Posted on MixMag today:

The Prodigy, who are now working on the follow-up to their 2009 LP ‘Invaders Must Die’, have said they won’t alter the sound on their new album to embrace the “dubstep stuff that’s around”.

In an interview with Radio 1′s Zane Lowe, Liam Howlett said: “All the dubstep stuff that’s around, we’re loving it, but that’s not our game. We won’t go near it,” said Howlett.

“We’ve always had respect for the masters who do their game, those boys who do that sound [dubstep], that’s what they do. We know what we do, and when any Prodigy record hits it’ll still feel fresh.

“Finding our sound is the next stage of The Prodigy.”

The new album is expected later this year, with the possibility of a single release before.

Exciting news!

What are your thoughts? #WEMFcommunity

Within an hour of it being posted to both Facebook and Twitter there were over 100+ responses with the majority of them being PRO 18+.

What are your thoughts? Should WEMF switch from a 16+ event to an 18+ event?

The Torontojungle.com 14 year party is our favorite kind of party. It felt like a reunion of sorts. People we haven’t seen in 5-10 years made an appearance. People that have ‘retired’ or ‘sworn off’ going out anymore, or feel that they’re ‘too old’ made an appearance.

The fun twist with this year was that it wasn’t the ‘all-scenester’ turn out that was expected. It was a 50/50 mix of old-school heads and new partygoers. A healthy mix and a great sign for bass music in the city. Despite there only being 2 known dubstep DJ’s on the 40 person lineup, there were a large number of self-proclaimed ‘dubsteppers’ in attendance.

Everyone played amazingly well, but in our opinion the set of the night went to DJ LUSH. He’s a veteran DJ that seems to fall off the radar of the new generation, but having known him for a very long time I can say with certainty that he LIVES for bass music. Always has. This love shows through in every set. He only had 15 minutes to shine at this party, but he whipped that crowd into a frenzy. You know it’s a good set when the DJ’S in the place start going wild. We felt sorry for the DJ that had to follow that set……

Congrats to Torontojungle.com for 14 years, and we’re looking forward to 14 more!

Hoffman & SaVannaH – FREE DOWNLOAD

On December 5, 2011, in downloads, music news, by D-Monic

Back with a vengeance, Unstable Label unleash the first release of new material since 2007.

This time it’s Hoffman and SaVannaH on duty with a killer tear-out bassline track “Fraction”. Pulling together a euphoric building string symphony which drops into menacing bassline mayhem, it’s set to turn the dance floor into a rave.

The flip pulls in the talents of the legendary 601 for the remix. They’ve stripped the track back to it’s raw pulsating essentials to produce a monster interpretation of the original.

Just plain sick!

What’s this about BLACK BUTTER, then?

“Anyway one thing’s for sure, since the arrival of this label they’ve collected strong release after strong release and this has to be pointed out, remember the name Black Butter, because if you haven’t already heard of it, as an eager music-listener it will get to you sooner than you know it. Black Butter, definitely one of the top 3 record labels of 2011 — Absolutely brilliant” Laurent Garnier
