Chip Chop blasts out onto the scene with their new album, aptly titled “Launch Blank”. Well, I wouldn’t really say they were ‘launching blanks’, because this album spits FIYA! Released by the fine folks at Run Riot Records, Launch Blank is a five track banger of glitch-future-dub-hop, lathering you up with silky synth melodies then rinsing you off with delectable drums and sizzling basslines. Chip Chop is a live electronics duo, consisting of Portland based Graintable, and AD/AM of Lake Tahoe, CA. These dudes dropped us the a little gift, the title track from their new album, to share with you Bwompers!
A dope little video by Barry Pilling of Mutate Britain’s ‘One Foot In The Grove’ exhibition.
Mutate Britain is a collective that takes art out of the gallery and into the city. OFITG was held under the Westway Motorway Bridge in the UK and features some amazing street artists. If any of you Mutate Britain cats ever come down to LA, this is just the kind of art a BWOMP! party needs. *hint hint*
If the work speaks for itself (which it clearly does) then this track ‘Vodka is Evil’ by Rebel Sonix is a screamer! Buy the single along with Ankle Grinder at Audiojelly.
The folks over at Get Hype sent us a couple goodies for you guys in commendation of their new blog, Get Hype Collective. The Collective consists of UK producers/DJs Pond life, Toast, Shark Bait, Dave Verne and Jeuce.

So enjoy the freebies, and make sure to check out their upcoming events if you’re South Coast, UK.

Next, we have an interview from Bassnectar with my new friend Jesse Brede over at Roxwel. It was done during Austin City Limits last year in Austin, TX.
81 years ago, Martin Luther King, Jr. popped out his mother’s womb. Last year, we inaugurated our first black president. Today, most of us get the day off of work. Whatever way your life is affected by him, none of this would have been possible without the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., so in tribute, here are two Emalkay tracks for ya. HAPPY MLK DAY!
I’m not really too sure how much of a hidden gem you can say NiT GriT is. I mean, I recently stumbled across him in one of those “oh wow hey look at this neat artist I randomly found” nights, so I’d say he qualifies, but the boy has more Soundcloud comments than possibly anyone I’ve ever seen. And for damn good reason. NiT GriT shows that dark can still be melodic, that grimey can still be amusing, and that sometimes it’s alright to just drop a fucking filthy rager of a track. By sometimes, I guess I mean everytime, as there really isn’t anything that I’ve heard from him that hasn’t caught my ear.
Now let me say, that usually I don’t sway toward the dark dubstep. Granted, that’s because I find a lot of it boring and repetitive. But instead of just rambling about how much I’m digging this dude, we’ll just let his tunes speak for themselves. Here are some forthcoming tunes from his Soundcloud:
NiT GriT has been getting mad love from the blogosphere it seems, but not enough in my opinion! With features from sites like Squitty Bubbler and Stripewaves (check these guys out for more major tunage!), this youngin’ from San Jose has much in store for him, including some upcoming releases. Stay close on the fella and follow him on Soundcloud. Until then, NiT GriT has been gracious enough to drop us a few tunes to tie us over!
Lucent L’amour, THE Valentine’s Day music and art festival, is going down on February 13 at the Shrine Expo Hall in downtown LA. This little shindig is brought to you by the great folks over at The Do Lab. This year’s Lucent L’amour festival has two stages and a keen selection of beautiful beats on the lineup. Both big names and critically acclaimed artists will provide a rousing night of fresh beats for the crowd.
Visual arts go hand in hand with music at Lucent L’amour, which promises to create a collision of music, art and creative self-expression. The festival is not a series of performances or a show, but rather an interactive art event where everyone becomes part of the experience, immersed together in one fantastic night of revelry. Come as you are, or deck yourself out in your favorite colorful and romantic attire.
If you’re in the SoCal area, don’t miss this. You folks over there, please soak up every bit of good juiciness such as this as you can.. party twice as hard for folks like me who don’t get shows of this magnitude and greatness in our area so often. Don’t take it for granted!
No, I’m not talking about the aliens from South Park.. I’m talking about the new Heyoka album! Just released this morning from Muti Music, Marklar shows us a new side of Heyoka, one that I personally have been waiting for a long time to fully manifest. What is this new side of Heyoka, you ask? The fusion drum ‘n bass! Don’t worry though, Heyoka goes all over the map with this 18 track banger. Plenty of juicy love to be had all around, no matter what your taste of dub is.
Heyoka was nice enough to give us a promo mix for this brand new hotness!
There is some massive talent over at the Glitch Hop Forum, that’s no question. Is it showcase worthy? I think so! Moderated by names such as deweyDB, ill-esha, Subvert, ill.gates, and Glitch & Scratchy, these folks keep it real. Tons of information on production, upcoming releases, and free tunes.. a guy like me can get lost over there!
This is the first of a new installment that I’m calling.. Glitch Hop Forum Showcase! Are these the best tracks over there? I can’t be the judge of that. It’s probably the single largest repository of glitch-hop and experimental dubstep knowledge and tunes out there. Are these tracks fucking dope? You better believe it!
These tunes, among soooo many others, are available over at the Glitch Hop Forum. Stop in, make an account, and give these folks some props for doing their thing and lookin’ gooood in the process!
