Ruben's Tube + Dubstep = Awesome Sauce!

Who Remembers This?

Taking it back to the old-school...

Don't mess with Hulk! You won't like them when they're angry!

NAMES

Richie August & Claw. Together we make up Hulk.

MUSICAL HISTORY

Richie August: We have each been making music for over ten years. I've been doing Dubstep for about two years and Claw has been at it for about four years.

MUSICAL BEGINNINGS

Richie August: One day, Claw randomly asked me if I had any open music sessions that he could work on. We finished a track and Hulk was pretty much born from that!

MUSICAL INSPIRATION

Richie August: Well, there are so many! There are really too many to list but I have been influenced by all types of music from Heavy Metal to Hip Hop.

CURRENT PROJECTS

Richie August: Just pumping out Hulk tracks at the moment. We are working on some collaboration projects as well. We have one with Dan Wall and one with Megalodon.

FUTURE PROJECTS

Richie August: We plan to keep pushing the Hulk sound as far as we can take it. Also, we are hoping to have a big year next year with our label BroTown Records.

To Be Ambitious and to Want to Be Successful is Not Enough!

Have No Fear! Wondawulf is Here!

Have no fear, Drumstepaz! Wondawulf is here and his work is too damn hot! Here are a few words from The Man, The Myth, The Legend, The DJ!

MUSICAL BEGINNINGS
I'm DJing and creating music under the name Wondawulf. I was born in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. This city is the center of music in Hungary. All of the big names and events are here. So, if you want to deal with music seriously, you have to be here.

THEN & NOW

I got in touch with electronic music eight years ago, when I was 14. Since that time, I've been collecting music madly. At the beginning, I was interested in Drum & Bass, but as I got deeper into music, I started to search for new genres. Now I'm interested in new, fresh, creative and innovative music. I don't really care about the genres. I try to be as fresh as possible. All of the genres are communicating with each other. If you are interested in just one or two genres, you will never understand exactly what you are doing or who you are. I'm playing Dubstep, Drumstep, Minimal, House, Breaks, Hiphop, Jazz, Experimental and Classical music. The point is actuality.

CURRENT PROJECTS

I fell in love with Drumstep a few months ago. Now I'm producing mainly remixes, edits and bootlegs. Drumstep is quite a new form of music. You can create Hip-Hop, Dubstep and Drum & Bass all in one track. That's really exciting! I also compose music based on Classical and Electronic music for contemporary dance performances. That's a really different thing. The new piece I'm working on will be presented at the end of November. The title of the play is 'Simultaneous Windows' by TranzDanz (www.tranzdanz.hu).

I also have a monthly club night called Future Music with DJ Palotai (www.myspace.com/djpalotai) and Dublic (www.facebook.com/dublicmusic), where we try to present the freshest music. It's based on our radio show, with the same name, on Radio Tilos Budapest (www.tilos.hu). There is always a lot of work to do for those nights. We just had Slum Dogz from the U.K. as guests. Next year, we will have even more Dubstep and House DJs/producers from Europe as our guests. Also, I will do some more tunes and remixes this year and have a lots of gigs. Bar 9, Bare Noize, Hostage, Calvertron, Cosmin Trg, Funtcase are a few artists I will be playing with.

Just one more reason...

Just one more reason to go to Coachella, or any festival for that matter...Burning Man, Lighting in a Bottle, etc. Festivals are great! :)

After Laughter

One Step Closer to Knowing Tek Step

You've heard their music but who IS Tek Step? Read below to see what these two music producers from Israel had to say about themselves and their music.

We are Tomer Tekno (Pro Revolution) and Omer Messler and we started Tek Step in late 2008. We're both dance music producers and we try to bring a lot of different influences, and even different styles, to our dubstep.

We're always working on new tracks and trying to make our sound grow and not do the same thing over and over. Sometimes, it seems that many artists keep using the same presets to repeat the sound that worked for them and it's hard to find  a variety, in dance music, in terms of sound and style. We want to do everything and keep things interesting.

We're also hoping to get to the U.S. soon. We're getting the most love from the States and we really want to come play our music and rock the house. But, until then, you're more then welcome to check out Tek Step online by following the links below!

NastyNasty: When Only Nasty Bass is Just Not Enough

If you don't know who NastyNasty is, you should! This is one of my favorite music producers, ever! Not only does he create mind-bending, emotionally charged music, he is also very good at explaining himself in depth! Don't just take my word for it. Check out NastyNasty's own words on his journey and then follow the links to enjoy his musical creations!

The truth of the matter is, I'm kind of a quiet guy. I don't go out a lot and I hide that behind an overtly "good god I'm fucking badass" facade that is NastyNasty. So here's the nitty gritty: I was born in 1983 (yeah, I'm hella old) in a town called Quincy which lies in northeastern California about 100 miles from the Nevada border. Quincy is comprised mainly of trees, scattered hippies and streams to skip rocks in. I moved to Cupertino to attend kindergarten and early grade school. This is where I developed a love of music. I would sing on the airplane swing that my parents built for me and arrange the kitchenware into some form of a primitive drum set. Then I moved to Dublin (California...not the romantic kind in Ireland) where I picked up my first legitimate instrument, the saxophone, in 4th grade. My interest waned and I didn't pick it back up seriously until moving back to the South Bay in junior high school where I began learning to play the acoustic guitar. I continued to play guitar and bass, both upright and electric, in a few bands in junior high and high school. The bands ranged from Punk and Ska to Jazz and Surf. After high school, I was kicked out of my parents' house and fired from my job. So, I started selling weed and hanging out with a different crowd. Somewhere in late high school, I had been exposed to Aphex Twin and Squarepusher and, as I was introduced to more advanced hallucinogens, my love for electronic music grew. One night, while fighting a noxious void on some really good acid, a friend of mine dropped an Outkast CD into the system in my apartment and cranked up the lazers. (I lived with a hard nrg crew in my first apartment...most annoying music ever but they did have subwoofers and lazers.) I fell hard for this sound. I listened to the CD so much that I had memorized the lyrics to "Extraterrestrial" and could be found rapping them in the bathroom the next day. One of my roomies had a working version of Fruityloops on his computer and I began making primitive Hip-Hop and Jungle beats to back my "sick flows" on it. I was quickly introduced to Propellerhead Reason and began taking production a little more seriously.

Next, I moved to Oakland for college. Within a week of college, I had seen other white kid rapper/producers and pretty much failed to get in with that crowd. So, I recoiled back into my room, quit rapping and started focusing heavily on IDM production. Over my first Christmas vacation, I crashed my parents' computer trying to do something in a cracked version of Sound Forge and had spawned the alias Build128 from an error message reading "core engine failure build 128". Years passed and I had learned to drill, time stretch, re-pitch, make drum patterns of sheer nonsense and splatter melodies around like a Jackson Pollock sound collage. I also began working on Quitter with one of my college buddies in a morphine-induced haze of Future-Crunk. I began making more and more esoteric endeavors like long-winded ambient drones, and delved into making hyper-melodic Breakcore towards the end of my reign.

Once I turned 25, I felt fucking old and almost burnt-out on music.  I realized that I had been making super esoteric music just to avoid any sort of emotional connection, and started looking at new avenues. Around this time, the hard drive that I had used to store most of my Build128 material and project files suffered a massive failure. Weeks later, my girlfriend left me and everything I had been working on became extraordinarily personal. I axed Build128 and began making much slower, more synth-focused pieces of music that I would later come to discover would be considered Dubstep or some form of Grime. Honestly, I couldn't name more than five Dubstep producers at the time. As well as remixing mainstream Rap songs in some vain attempt at getting famous quick to stick it to all my ex girlfriends, I changed my name every couple of weeks until, around December '08, when NastyNasty came to mind as a simple reference to my aesthetic choices and penchant for, well, kinky sex. The name stuck and I began to find common threads in the genre. I was still pretty aloof to the impact Dubstep was having in the States and completely out of the loop as far as knowing there was any kind of scene for it. I found brethren among other up-and-comers on Myspace, like Slugabed and Hovatron, and began finding locals such as Salva and Epcot who, in my opinion, were pushing the envelope in new school club music. Fast forward about nine months and here we are. I've etched out a little space for myself with some form of Grime-based club music for sound nerds. I've dropped esoteric ideals for something far more realistic and honest: a much more visceral representation of what it is to be Jasper in the year 2010, a willingness to let it all hang out, be it nerdy or angry or downright filthy, and a fight against the apathy and laziness that plagues my generation.

My only hope is that we can all join in one tremendous sonic orgasm, united under a haze of fog machines and lazers, feeling the bass rip our hearts out of our chests and beckon us to raise hands above our heads yelling "heyoooooooo" right before the beat kicks in and we go back to dancing like idiots.

Both sincerely and as honestly as humanly possible,

-jasper

Just the begining phases of FELONIOUS CRUNK & MENDOTRON

Here we have two brothers with a passion for making music. FELONIOUS CRUNK "Thomas Cooper" and MENDOTRON "Jared Gordon" are definitely talented just listen to some of there music.

I was born in Vietnam, adopted at a young age, and raised in Syracuse, Nebraska. Jared was born and raised in Ukiah, California.

Jared has been producing music for almost two years now. I've been producing for a little over a year and a half. "Newbies" as we like to put it.

On Oct. 1st, you can pick up a few of our tracks on a compilation EP released on CrossRoads Records, called: FUEL 2.

I am currently working on what I call "phase II" productions. Trying to keep an open and diverse mind, and seeing what comes out of it. Jared also continues to produce tracks, and spends a lot of time in the studio, sound designing. We both are beginning to learn the aspects of DJing. And we hope to begin to play some live shows in the near future.

We both love music and thank everyone for listening!

-Thomas and Jared.

Rinsing out all the best tunes with Hosta from Rub-A-Dub-Dub

"Bow Down To The Duck"

So this is one of the best Audio Blogs that I have come across in a long time! Hosta is really doing a service to the whole Bass community world wide. And he is achieving this by doing nothing more than sharing his love for music with the rest of us. It is sites and people like this that have inspired me. And so I pass this on in the hopes that it may inspire you too. I contacted Hosta to find out what he, and his work was all about.

What is your name?:

Ben Hossle also known as Hosta.

Where are you from?:

Originally from Manchester UK, I am now based in Newcastle UK at university.

What inspired you to start your blog?:

I just thought that at the time there were a lot of blogs about that were all posting the same music, I already had a load of tunes that people didn't know about, I thought that I could make my own site to promote unknown artists and its just kind of gone from there really.

How long have you been doing what you do?:

Its been just longer than a year since I started the Rub A Dub Dub Blog, and already its grown so much. I honestly didn't expect it to get as well known as it is currently and I like to think people respect it for what it is and pick up the odd gem now and then.

What are you currently working on?:

Currently I am working on a few projects. One I can announce is a new Free EP series that we are launching along with Jenai from Ego Thieves based in London UK. That should be dropping soon, and I think it will surprise a lot of people not just in the quality of music but also the vast range of music genre's we are going to cover in the series.

What is next?:

After that I have a few big plans that are probably too fresh to announce just yet but stay locked!

-Hosta.

It will be worth your time to check out all of Hosta's work.

I’ve done studio work for producer “Salaam Remi” at Instrument Zoo Studios in 2009. I’ve been blessed to work with good people in the past but my passion has slowly moved onto producing Electronic Music, such as Dubstep and Dance records. Electronic music has been a rebirth for my music and me. It’s been great so far.

What is next for you?:

The future looks good. I got a few things lined up. I’m getting involved in producing music for film and video with a major company that produces a lot of shows on television right now. I am very excited for that. Doing soundtracks has always been something I’ve wanted to get involved with.

If you are going to do damage might as well do Permanent Damage.

Permanent Damage Records has a mission statement that is pretty cut and dry. So here it is...

Permanent Damage Records is a label on an intergalactic scale based in Bermuda, because that’s where the best rum is.

Generally the music we’re in to meets two requirements:

1. you can dance to it, and

2. it’s interesting.

(A third, unofficial, requirement that it makes really attractive people take their clothes off was scrapped due to a lengthy lawsuit).

We throw parties, release music, travel the world looking to have fun, and generally use the label to promote the philosophy of the great Carl Jung, which can be summarized by saying, “Shake it, don’t break it!”

We hope you like us.

-Permanent Damage Records.

I would also like to explain Permanent Damage Records to you. But I think this video I found on there site dose a much better job than I can.

The party wont stop when you use Robokop

Robokop is an amazing producer and he had such a nifty bio to so I just posted the whole thing. :)

"Robokop is a 24 year old Dubstep / Hiphop Producer from Hilversum in The Netherlands.

His Fascination for different styles of music started when he was 6 years old, listening to Rock n Roll , Reggea and old Hip-Hop songs. At the age of 12 he started Beatboxing under the name Yoshi J.and developed a extreme love for breaks and beats.Influenced by the east coast Hip-Hop scene.( Soul/ Jazz ) sampled beats.

In 2006 he started producing with a friend of his making Humoristic Hip-Hop songs and learned to create the beats he always wanted to make. Then with De Verse Irritatie, he created a base for himself.

In 2007 he started to work with his old punk band drummer, who also was producing at the time (Distrikt) and still is. At the time he was really into the Drum n Bass/Hip-Hop scene, and combined that interest in making loud heavy Hip-Hop beats.

Eventually in 2009 Robokop started a Hip-Hop/Dubstep movement with Distrikt, Breek and Olaf called CENTRUM.

Although he is still busy with the Centrum movement Robokop picked up the Dubstep genre and started to give his own unique twist to his songs. Trying to combine as many music styles, and make tunes as Epic as possible.

(I try to bring people into another world. Says Robokop)

In 2010 Robokop will release several tracks, and will continue making Big Tunes mainly to shake dancefloors around the Globe."
