How mutant can a dubstep get?

What's good ladies, I know I've been posting a lot of dubstep this recent time. Ya'all can't blame me coz the dopest hash i could get on them Friday night is some mighty fine skate punks oscillating them basses to them tempo. I instantaneously fell in love. I was hoping for a miracle that there would be some local reference in Malaysia. I was going through some blogs on UKF dubstep community and up to my surprise,i got a tiny link to a Malaysian dubstep duo. This cats call themselves H3. A group consisting two personnel and shit load of gritty talent. Ive noticed that their style has been low tempo drum pattern with loads more going on with their bass and synth. What caught my attention was merely the recognizable "wah", "yea", "yoi" basses with monster affects. The minute 1/4 to 1/32 step to convey their cuts has been outrages. Other than that, h3 also known as mutant bla bla has remixed loads of dubstep artist's tracks namely Doctor P, Electro icons like Ocelot. Locally H3 would be releasing their album this 2011 with the name 'Mutant Dub'. I had a chance to hear them on their "soundcloud" on a track with the same name. You would catch Jin Hackman starring on this with a good rap maship. It's a bouncy track but what bothers me is the fact the basses would not thump and rumble my trunk for real. My assumption would be that a lower bitrate track has been uploaded(i wouldn't know!). Hence I long for the best stinger from the original album when its out. This guys are currently making shows under the Basspunk management so yeah im hoping to get to their shows when I'm down back in Malaysia. Till then enjoy this track, I'd feed ya,all more on the album once i get a hookup.I can't wait!!!!!

Story of a Rap Gladiator

What's them restful weekend for sizzle like people?. What brings me to this post is my man Dafrosty. Yes u heard me, Mr.Frost is back with his mixtape ready to be bootlegged to your local drives and them jogging apparels. Apparently, I've been hooked with this mixtape ever since i downloaded it. These are few(maybe loads) reasons:

1. The mixtape is free
2. The bitrate is 320 kbps
3. This mixtape has 15 tracks including its skits
4. This is exclusively been produced, mixed and mastered by Dafrosty, whilst some tracks are produced by Sazz The Villain, Shazet and Dafrosty himself.
5. The mixtape has shitload of samples to make ya'all ponder and such,
6. The artists inclined/listed on them mixtape murdered their slots
7. The deliverance of the host would immaculately flip and toss emcees apart as a reference for them career!
8. There are lyrics embedded in all of them tracks!!!
9. It has Magneto's helmet as its mixtape cover
10. This is strictly UNDERGROUND
*Feel free to hook me up with more reasons if ya'all got em'.

This mixtape psychedelically 'shroomed' me from the moment I hit them play on my media player. Imagine, having a mash of Brother Ali, Final OutlaW, Sabac and Mr. Lif ripping tonsils on them Madlib, El-P beats. Dafrosty lifted the Malaysian rap arena to another level with his spells on beats and rhymes. Well this cat key-styles a lot and these are few key-stylers who sounds better spitting.

My money for the mixtape would be Fire Works the immediate track after the strong intro sampled from Malcolm X. For split a second, I rechecked my playlist to screen for Vinnie Paz. The soothing piano and high frequency cut drums at the intro speaks loads of stories to your average beat makers. Sazz The Villain layered an air ball which Mr.Frost slam dunked with style.

Rap Gladiator was the next to initiate the action potential in my ear hair cells. This track was heavily experimental and it's the 1st I've heard of his such from a Malaysian producer/emcee. I should say it's bold and reached it's whereabouts.

Salvation is surely the next skate boarder's anthem even though this sounded handsomely grungy. Lina Halim engineered a 3 syllable tune and spoke nothing more. Again, Dafrosty took me by surprise with the rhymes.This is a cover from Cranberries which I'm honestly not familiar since I've never heard them girls. Maybe i should in the future, now look how hip hop cross promotes other genres! (bragging rights!)

Overall I'm rating this album a 7 out of 10 stars. This is the best local business I've heard all year long. Dafrosty is your next existent rapper you would say "I knew him" as the kid continuously executes mid-day mutiny on rap. I would love to see him maintain and sharpen his current style. At them mean time, keep a lookout for his unique deliverance, signature beats and deep rhyme not an average emcee would do. This mixtape is a MUST HAVE for all no matter ya'all are digging rap or hip-pop!

Independence is a noose of foreign pendants/
They pen dances so we’d stop being defensive//
And stay blind to these thorns we’re stepping on/
Couldn’t fathom the past,guess it’s out of fashion//

The Glee way to market music

What's Glee world? I was sitting at home last night switching through the cable TV whilst waiting for Pulse 2 to play on CineMax when i came across Glee. I mean, I've came across it's annoying advert a thousand time, claiming it has millions of downloads for its ringtones in Asia.

I put my judgment on Glee aside yesterday and watched the series, up to my surprise, this college/teen drama was filled with music and choreography. Brought me back to those Evita and Nightmare Before Christmas like scene's that i loved watching back then. Something that I sat through and pondered...

Just like High School Musical and such, Glee seems to be the new sex to triumph amongst serial lovers and of course music listeners, Music wise-its clean mixes with strong vocals by the singers, while the presentations were modern day dances with loads of hip hop moves integrated in it. I'm not being skeptical but believe me, I watched loads of breaks..

I caught half an hour of the show, and I was indeed taken by surprise.

Internationally, I've always been moved from the far east's effort on Afro Samurai an anime, where the scores were harmonized by RZA of Wu-Tang Clan. In Malaysia, I've came across The Rhymeweaver who has taken a different approach by constantly dropping novel like game books, quizzes and magazines and currently working on a comic apart from his rap story telling. I've also heard about loads of cats who are on the move of rising gospel rap up in the churches after sermons although I've not witnessed this with my own eyes, One of them is particularly Radically Saved according to my mate Grandpa Chronic X. Whats' Glee about this? NUTHIN!!!! It's just the approach, movement and effort these creative people make but its not sensed by the masses.

What I'm trying to point out is, an independent artist of caliber could do is.. maybe make a series of any creative idealism you have. Never a harm to try apart from the budget part being a bitch. Let's put our hard headed music style apart sometimes to experiment... Do not get me wrong, this is just a suggestion.

I've already got masses of albums and loads of underground shows to attend to, I'm wishing upon a star to view a choreographed hip hop narration and story telling with creativity. I'd love to watch live, listen, ponder and feast myself with it..

Pondering,
MCN

Feeling This

Its gonna be afternoon soon and I'm heading for lunch but I've already got food for my head via this post. Previously I spoke about Drum N Bass but I'm going to shift it back to hip hop right now. Ive been a big fan of Nujabes, Nomak, and Ayur. These cats rip brilliant tunes on easy-listening to hardcore beats. What do they have in common apart from being in the far east? - They have what it takes to arrange a proper symphony.

As a beat-maker I'm always on the urge to find new sounds for my composition and recently i came across this post by Movemint here. I landed a listening ear, and I had my Wernicke's area on a run with rhymes.

This is ILL! coz it has Illa J and Madlib's touch to it but this has been Motion's best track that I'm digging so far. And he's a Malaysian local artist- applauds. I instantaneously recognized the reverse effects of the song and the high keyed piano's from Fruity loops(FL Studio). I would wanna to see this guy hooking up emcees with his beats and watch them murder it daylight..Nuff said



watch the video and rate it of coz

Drum N Bass Anyone?

Morning world,

Particularly each morning before i get to work, its almost a must for me to fiddle with the net and read some news. What's a must? i NEED MUSIC vibrating my ear drums for real. I usually start my day with some instrumentals since it would somewhat gets me more active. Drum n Bass has never been any part of my morning routine. I mean, I would not wanna shift my tempo to something really fast and hard to follow. Perhaps them morning blues...

Still wondering what's DnB? Cited from Wikipedia, Drum and bass is a type of electronic dance music which emerged in the mid 1990s. The genre is characterized by fast breakbeats (typically between 160–190 bpm, occasional variation is noted in older compositions), with heavy bass, sub-bass lines, and occasional infra-bass lines. Drum and bass began as an offshoot of the United Kingdom rave scene of the very early 1990s. Read more here

Recently, i partied hard a local club called Innocence in Ciwalk, Bandung. I seldom get into drum n bass parties coz I have always made it a point that this should be my escapade from my music since its a contra to what I work with. DJ Scratchy proved me wrong the other night when he introduced me to various sounds of DNB that has emerged in the Indonesian drum n bass parties. Two years back i was listening drum n bass which were relatively electronic-ish.. today I'm listening pop and traditional song being repelled in... My point is, i got lifted by the music.. I was HIGH!

What brings me to this post is Rusko.Honestly i just got to know his music and I'm being and addict. The atmosphere was wicked when i heard "Cockney Thug" and it has broken my morning routine... I'm playing it purposely loud wake people up! Listen it here and perhaps BUY em! This song has the dub feel with thick British accent. After all his an English lad.

Now I'm bumping to loads of DnB artists such as Skream, Benja, Pendulum n such. The Rebel Scum has been surprising me with their DnB mixes in their underground hip hop mixtapes. The only one i know in Malaysia

Id love to hear more of this kind of music from Malaysian artists from now. Perhaps I would wanna work on DnB mixes for my next project??
