Don't get too close. You might catch the Dubvirus.

Welcome Dubvirus A.K.A Sacha Csicsery-Ronay while he answers a few question about himself. Do you think Dubvirus will be another 24 hour bug, or something more substantial like warts? It's to early to make assumptions. So lets just get to know him first. 

Where are you from? 

I grew up in the Midwestern United States, and I've been living in San Francisco for 4 years now. 

How long have you been doing what you do? 

I have been producing music in some form or another for fourteen years now, and I am constantly trying to develop and refine my skills further. Most of my technique comes from self-instruction and practice, but I have taken production and songwriting courses with Berklee School of Music as well. 

Who or what inspires you? 

Every day I am struck by the passion and talent that is going into the West Coast electronic music scene. The California festivals have been a huge inspiration for me to put my soul into creating memorable and moving musical experiences for people. I am also in constant awe and appreciation of the other producers on the circuit, the music they create is always pushing me to keep upping my game. 

What are you currently working on? 

I recently completed a new EP, entitled 'DNA' which will be dropping exclusively on January 21st exclusively on Beatport, followed by a major release on February 4th. I'm excited about this release because it will showcase what I feel is my best work thus far, and should indicate to the world my true style as a producer. We have a remix compilation planned for soon after, and in the meantime I am already well underway with more tracks that are pushing the boundaries of electronic dance music.

whats next? 

 Music is my life. My plan is to simply to continue dedicating myself completely to production and performance, and to rise as high as I can doing what I love doing more than anything else.

Oh Me, Oh My, Oh Tebins...

Let me tell you a little something about Kevin Speltz aka Oh Tebins. Originally from Seattle, Speltz has been living in Tucson for the past three years but he will be moving to Brooklyn this fall. He happens to be pretty skilled with the whole music thing and recently shared with us his musical beginnings, inspiration and future plans.

THE BEGINNING
I started around age 16. The early years were mostly trial and error. In 2009, I switched genres, and as things got a little more polished I started to take myself seriously and worked to develop a sound that I could identify with. 

THE INSPIRATION
Musically, I am inspired by catchy Big Band horns, quality Hip Hop, Soul singers, and just a splash of ethnic Jazz. I am starting to listen to more Electronic music lately. I really like the sounds of Atlas, Dauwd, and Luvian. In life, I am inspired by new surroundings, very late nights, and good ol' fashioned fun.

THE PRESENT & THE FUTURE

I'm currently focused on editing and adding to my live set. It's a never-ending process, and I think the effort that I have put into it thus far reads really well. I hope to gather some bookings for early 2013 so I can share what I have built.

Oh Tebens also shared a Free EP which can be found in the Soundcloud widget below. If you like what you hear, make sure to click on the links below for more of his work!

Protect Yourself From the Cold With the Warm Bass of Chilli B.

Here is a talented Bass music producer that I just happened to come across lately. He goes by the name of Chilly B. and he was kind enough to share some information with us about who his is, where he is from, and what he does. Did I mention he makes catchy tunes and gives most of them away for free?! Chilly B. is an all around good guy.

WHO IS CHILLY B.?

My name, well, its Chilly B. I am originally from a small town in Alberta, Canada called Medicine Hat. However, I now set up shop in Vancouver. I've been djing for, shoot, I guess eight or nine years now. But, I have only been producing music for the last four, after graduating from audio engineering!

INSPIRATION OF CHILLY B. 

I gather my inspiration from my friends, who I consider my family, and our adventures! It's hard to choose any specific artist who inspires me most but I have an incredible respect for DJ Aplication (IGU) who if I never met, I would maybe never would have chosen this path. Glitchy & Scratchy AKA Bevvy Swift & El Mongoose (IGU) who adopted me into the Integrated Grime Unit (my Fam & inspiration). Nog & Myles Away (IGU), for being my classmates, friends, peers and my push to keep producing new sounds. Fluxo (IGU), for all the love. Dewey Decibel (IGU) for technical assistance and introducing me to new sounds on a regular.

CURRENT CHILLY B.
Currently, I'm working on perfecting a pan stereo slammer (I just made up the name) called "I'm Back" which, at the moment, sounds pretty HUGE...at least in my headphones!

FUTURE CHILLY B.
What's next? I couldn't say at the moment. I'm sort of stuck in the here and now after returning from Central America. But, I see more travel, more beats and many more great times and music to be shared. Below is some music I would like to share with you. If any are at the max download, please message me and hopefully I can send it to you asap. Have fun and keep on keepin' on!

Let's Hope the Speakers Don't Falter When This Guy Plays!

Falter aka Tj Najam is originally from West Palm Beach, Florida  (my home town), but he has lived in London for most of his life. I recently caught up with him to hear more of his story.

THE START OF FALTER
I've been producing for about four years now. I started out producing house but I always loved Drum and Bass, so I decided to give that a try.  I was introduced to Dubstep around the same time. I ran with Dubstep for quite awhile and now I'm getting back into Deep/Funky House quite a bit. I  generally produce whatever I feel like at the time. Maybe some Hip Hop beats or some Garage for fun. I think it's helped me a lot to keep switching things up. You can transplant ideas you learn from one genre's techniques into another and come out with some cool results. Most importantly, it keeps it fresh and fun.

MUSICAL INSPIRATION
It's tough to really say. So many things shape a person's musical taste that it's quite hard to narrow it down to just a few. I used to love Metal when I was younger, so that probably pushed me more towards the dark and heavy Drum and Bass and Dubstep. But I've always liked Funk and Hip Hop as well, so that comes through in the more upbeat  House stuff I write. My mate, Benson, is a sick producer and having him around and hearing the stuff he's putting out has definitely driven me to push myself a little bit harder too. So, big ups to Benson. He produces under the names Buzzlin and Voyeur, with another mate, Leo. They're putting out some serious tunes, so give them a check if you like House.

PRESENT FALTER

Right now, I'm all over the place. I am working on a few House tracks. I am also getting a few tunes together for a Drum and Bass release and working on some Hip Hop beats for a few artists. I have been spending most of my time mixing and emptying my wallet on new vinyl recently. Ha ha! It's a dangerous hobby.

FUTURE FALTER

I had my first couple of releases go out in the past few months and they've been pretty well received which I'm really happy about. I guess I just hope to keep pushing out tunes and seeing where things go. I try not to get ahead of myself. I produce because it's a lot of fun and it's one of the few things that you can do solely for yourself. I spend so much time interacting with other people,  given how easy it is to communicate these days, and it's quite therapeutic to just lock yourself off in your room and create something. If people end up liking the final product, then that's a bonus!

ENiGMA Dubz

NAME

James Vine aka ENiGMA Dubz

WHERE YOU CALL HOME

Birmingham, UK

ENiGMA Dubz BEGINNINGS 

Production and DJ-wise, I've been on it now for around five years now. When I was doing my GCSE's, I got hold of a copy of 'Reason' and to start with it was a case of getting in from school, opening 'Reason' and then just experimenting and trying to work out what a compressor was for! The music side of things was something I was strong at as I've been playing the cello from a very young age. Over the years, I've had a load of experience playing in concerts with orchestras and playing solo  Classical work. The Classical training gave me all the fundamental music knowledge and theory to be creative. So once I got hold of 'Reason', and then later Fruity Loops, it was a case of learning the program and then having fun with it. I eventually got a Mac, just over a year ago, and then I was able to make the move to Logic which really has taken my producing to the next level. No matter what happens with my producing career, I'll always have a passion for music in general and being creative.

CURRENT WORK

I've just finished making two EPs which will be coming out either at the end of this year or at the start of 2012. One EP is coming out on a Bristol Label called Subdepth Records which is focused more on the deeper side of Garage/Dubstep. The other EP is coming out on a label called Bassclash Records and this one is a bit heavier...well, a lot heavier.

I'm also working on two other big projects. One is an album which is coming from an MC in London called Drapez. We've been putting out tracks for a while now and, in 2012, there will be an album dropping called 'Drapez - My Way Out', so keep an eye and ear out for that! The other project I've just started is a second album to follow my first one, 'ENiGMA Dubz - Variationz', but this won't be done for at least a few months and should be out there at some point during 2012.

Other than that, I'm still pushing out other tracks, more free downloads, experimenting with other sounds and working with other artists. Me and my girlfriend Katie McLeod are working on more tracks and there will be an EP coming out on LU10 Records featuring Katie's new track 'Brighter Day' alongside a couple of other. So, watch out for that and there will be plenty more to come from us in the near future.

The last thing to mention is that I have just put out a mix CD to help push my music to the public. The CD, 'Sub-Mission Vol 1' will be available at most Birmingham Record shops and hopefully nationwide once I get it out there. All the tracks are produced by myself and I'll be bringing a Volume 2 out next year. If you want more info on this, head over to my Soundloud and listen to the Mix CD sample.

FUTURE WORK

Well the next thing for me is to start finding ways of pushing my name further. I'm hoping to do more DJ sets next year and also do a lot more official remix work for labels/artists. Once I get a chance to focus on my new album, I'll finish that and should get it out during 2012. I'm also keen to get into music for film and television so I'm going to be creating all sorts of music next year.

LAST BITS

Big up to LU10 Records, DANK 'N' DIRTY DUBZ and also any other labels helping to push my music. Also shout out to Katie McLeod for writing amazing vocals, Drapez for being a next-level MC and everyone out there making great music. Also I'd like to say thanks to everyone who's been supporting me, all the features on blogs, YouTube posts, comments, messages and general support is really appreciated, so thank you! Lastly, thanks to AMINA for this feature. There's some sick stuff on this blog so keep your eye on it people!

Not only is ENiGMA Dubz talented, his music is very diverse. I look forward to hearing what he creates next. If you would like to find out more about ENiGMA Dubz or perhaps book him, click on the links below.

Rogue

NAME
Joel Hunt aka Rogue

HOMETOWN

Walsall, near Birmingham, UK

MUSICAL BEGINNINGS

I've been producing for a few years now, not really knowing it myself. I was just messing around on FL Studio and creating all different styles of music. I started making Dubstep specifically in summer 2010. But, since then, I have produced lots of other types of music. At the end of September 2011, after talking with a DJ known as NAZA from Middlesbrough and finding that he liked my music, he told me to get an artist name. Previously,  I'd been making music as 'Joel Hunt Music'. So, I thought of the name 'Rogue' and got involved with Future Follower Records, a label which NAZA had just started up. Then I made my accounts on YouTube and other social networks.

CURRENT WORK

Right now I'm working on a number of tracks, as always, one of them being a take on Coldplay's 'Clocks'. Another track is a House-type track with a Rogue twist called 'Tigers'. I am also working on a 100bpm remix of 'The Tribe' by Driftkong, another Future Follower Records artist.

FUTURE WORK

Well, I'm going to continue making music and video blogs. Hopefully it will keep getting the same attention that my current stuff is getting. I'll also be trying out some other genre's like DnB/Drumstep and maybe Moombahton, and mostly just trying to get better at what I do, as I realize I have a lot of headroom. I just want to keep having fun with my music and not take it too seriously, continuing to experiment with new things and find my own sound.

Following Rogue's progress is easy. Just click on any link below. I suggest you click on them from time to time since he is always adding new content!

Getting to Know Notixx

NAMES

We our Ryan Sinatra & Zack Fowler aka Doodle, and together, we make up Notixx.

HOMETOWNS
Ryan: I was born and raised in Jamestown, N.Y. Most people don't know where that is. The best description I can offer is that it's near Buffalo, N.Y. But in reality, it's really about an hour and a half from there.
Doodle: Salamanca, N.Y./Jamestown, N.Y.

MUSICAL BEGINNINGS 
Ryan: I always wanted to do something with music. I've taught myself so many instruments like the piano and the guitar. These were instruments that I knew would boost my intelligence about how music actually worked and was composed, rather than just learning to read notes off of a page. I looked forever for my niche. I was in bands in high school and it never made me feel completely satisfied. I always had to trust other people to hold up their end. Finally, I took what I knew and began to apply it to Electronic music production after becoming infatuated with the entirety of the genre. For me, this was it. It was everything I was looking for. This realization occurred only a short six months ago.
Doodle: I've been doing music since high school but stopped to concentrate on video production. I met up with Ryan in college. One day we got together and he mentioned DJing a party and we became a duo.

CURRENT WORK
We are working on, well, expanding our fanbase while growing as a group by putting out songs constantly. Merchandise is another big project that we've been undertaking. We want the fans to be able to support us.

FUTURE WORK

Another song, another EP, another remix, another fan. We are just trying to do anything we can to just blow places up with music, give shows that both involve the crowd and blow them away, and just have a great time doing it. We want to have fun, make music, and we want each and every one of you to be a part of it.

Yes, YeshYo

This, is in my opinion, is a very talented up-and-comer. YeshYo definitely has the Pop-Step down, as well as Electro, Drum and Bass and a slew of other bass-heavy genres. He was nice enough to write a few words about himself too. This kid is going places! ;)

My name is Matteo Di Berardino, aka YeshYo. I live in Italy, more precisely in Milan. My first approach to music was through a DJ console that my father bought me about three years ago . After that, exactly on Christmas 2009, I decided to start producing my own music. Currently, I have just finished my first, hopefully not last, official remix. Now I'm starting to work on my first EP which will be a mix of Dubstep, Electro and DnB. Despite not having any labels, I am still very motivated. We'll see how it goes!

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

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.

Radiohead 'Street Spirit​​' - Dubstep remix by Blunt Instrument

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.

Staying on track with TRAINTRAXX

It is all ways nice to find good talent in your own back yard. Today lets take a moment to learn a little something about TRAINTRAXX.

What is your name?: 


TRAINTRAXX

Where are you from?: 


I was born and raised in Miami Florida.

What do you do?: 


I am a Music Producer and Remixer

How long have you been doing what you do?: 


7 years

What are you currently working on?:

I’m working on my first solo Electronic Music LP and producing records for major and up-and-coming artists.

Tell me a little more about yourself?:

Well as you know my name is TRAINTRAXX and I’ve been producing music since graduating from Full Sail, Orlando Florida in 2003. I started my career producing Hip Hop music and there after got involved in producing Electronic Music. In the Hip Hop industry I’ve produced records for major artist “Akinyele” and got a feature track featuring “Pleasure P” from former group Pretty Ricky. 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.

Are you looking to work with any independent artist(s) right now?: 

Yes, I’m looking to work with fresh new artists, singers, emcees and writers with an electronic state of mind right now.

Any particular artist(s) you would like to work with in the future?:

I really have no particular artist in mind. There are too many good artists out there from major to independent. My goal is work with anyone that likes my vibe. I’m always down for something new and refreshing. There is greatness in everyone and I just want to be a part of it.

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.
