Owen said:The mix covers some angles of my DJing/listening habits, with somewhat of an emphasis of dubstep, but also propped up with bits and pieces that verge on that territory, while remaining pleasantly immune to convenient pigeon-holing While its not exactly a enourmous in its breadth, hopefully it covers a bit of ground, I get bored either playing or listening to 20 tracks in a row linked by nothing more than the fact that they all came from the same section in the record shop. For me, it was hearing dubstep in a similar context to this that really made it click for me initially, most notably through a few mixes by El Kano and the Gutterbreakz radio series (RIP), taking in techno, electro, breaks and various mangled electronics in addition to dubstep.
Vamanos said:When I was asked to do a mix for Blogariddims I initially had issues about what I could provide in such an awesomely diverse series. I couldn't think of any one particular genre that I'd want to listen to for 60 minutes so I just thought i'd make something that i'd want to hear if I was on holiday at a beach party, rum flowing, bass hammering. Not the most specialist or obscure concept but the kind of music that i've been writing about here and why I started Ghetto Bassquake. The mix is a clash of sounds that I'm influenced by: From where I live in Brixton, south London - The UK's Bass shattering sounds of reggae, grime, drum'n'bass and dubstep. And the emerging Latin American & Jamaican bass party music of the caribbean and South America where I spent some time in 04/05- dancehall, cumbia, baile funk, reggaeton, soca with a bit of baltimore thrown in for good measure.
How wicked is that Copper Cat tune - who is Copper Cat? Love the voice.
It's on the concious dancehall one.
that sun and bass is super booty!

Mashups: a cheap one liner trend collapsing all narratives into a heap of meaningless post modern rubbish, or a new way of interacting with cultures, of thinking about the world, of experiencing and creating music? i've always been excited by them, if not by most of what i have heard, by what i imagined was possible. and what i imagined was Digital Gamelan, Ethiopian Grime, Afro-Arabian Dubstep -- sounds from far away and/or long ago fused in ways that are both surprising but also intuitive, in ways that feel RIGHT. i wanted to make a particular kind of mashup, one that people would want to listen to, maybe over and over. is it possible to make the fusion, the bastard frankenstein assemblage, sound <span style="font-style:italic;">better</span> than the original sources? a tall order for sure, especially when the original sources sometimes are master musicians, but one that i nonetheless hope to have achieved in some of the mashups included in this mix. judge for yourself.
link is coming soon i guess...
Where has Rambler gone btw, always enjoyed his contributions
Loris said:The overall theme of the mix was to use a collection of tracks that had some meaning to me. Music I enjoyed and understood. I’m not a devout reggae head but some of what I have picked up over the years I still get huge satisfaction from. This mix centres around dub for the most part but does include some roots and lovers rock in places, albeit quite sparingly.
