2010 is looking to be more interesting everyday. With this last month being the one year anniversary of the BWOMP! crew feeding heart and energy into some memorable parties in LA 2009, its felt like so much longer.

The those nasty cats over at Chrome Kids are at it again! This time focusing on the Welsh producers of the nasty-nasty in a recent mix they did for BBC 1Xtra and Twin B's show, In New DJs We Trust. The mix is pretty heavy and hard-hitting, showcasing some great talent from Wales and beyond. Definitely worth plugging your iPod into the computer to snag this one!

Tracklist:

Magenta – Gutwrencher (White)

Different shelf. New book. First chapter: FILL IN THE BASS!

Today is a week before a very special date... for the first time ever, L.A. OFFICIALLY gets BWOMP'ed! What does that mean? I have no idea! But if you go to FILL IN THE BASS on the 21st of August, you'll know. It's about time to show these motherfuckers that it's true and not just a hobby, which... it is, but I digress.

We have been working very VERY hard on this! Our "committee" has gone from six people huddled over drinks at the Medusa… Read More
