[ It's a pleasure to welcome our very own Richard Sweat to the blogosphere. He's a veteran of the BWOMP! crew who's recently been producing the sweaty beats and rocking the sweaty sets here in LA. Look out for him to post some serious bwomp now and then. Don't be fooled by the size of this first post... its the business!    -Ev ]

This is just one of those tunes that is sure to make the bassfaces come out in full force! NastyNasty, from San Jose CA, continues to drop heat, so head on over to his bandcamp and get it while the gettin’s good!

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. We assure you things have only begun… special things are brewing! Here are some mixes a little off the beaten path but will keep your head bobbing through whatever it is you’re doing.

I don’t have too much time to spend hounding blogs anymore. Between pretending to be busy and actually being busy, there’s not even too many hours in the day to spend on good’ole Bwomp here. But when I have a few extra seconds, I always love taking a whirl through Chrome Land. They seem to be pretty keen on keeping things fresh, while still promoting good talent and solid productions. Here’s a couple things I snagged lately:

Nosaj Thing – IOIO

Starkey – OK Luv (Stagga Remix Instrumental)

Led Zeppelin vs. Rusko vs. Daft Punk vs. Lil Jon (David Starfire Mashup)

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!

NiT GriT – 12 Gauge

NiT GriT – Paralysis

NiT GriT – Park Manglement

NiT GriT – Serotonin Syndrome

NiT GriT – Special K

NiT GriT on SoundCloud

NiT GriT on BandCamp

Go show this man some love, and cop a couple of his tunes from BandCamp! I can pretty much guarantee, you won’t be sorry!

This Saturday is Attack of the Bass! I would write a post for it, but the homette Shilo from wrote SUCH a delicious post about it (as she usually does) that I’m going to shamelessly rip hers. Thanks Shilo! ;) Check out her blog Dancefever5000. THE place to peep for reviews and events for the West Coast bass culture, among various other random musings. Wreckognize.

“BWOMP (Bass With Out Musical Preference) present: Attack of the Bass with a lineup that is diverse in styles yet united in the search for the cell-shuddering bass: glitch hop, dubstep, crunk and all of their miscreant children. The venue is tight as hell, covered in killer graffiti art with plenty of space both to chill and to dance, and the sound support is by none other than PURE FILTH. Besides the whomp you will find live artists doing 8-bit art as well as live graffiti and airbrushing, and don’t forget the video games.” -DS5K

The lineup for the night:

• ANTISERUM
• MASK
• SAINT VII
• PUPPY KICKER

And the BWOMP crew:

JViz

Ev-1

Frenetic

DJ 007

Demon0ne

Sati

TenBucc2

DJ Eye Q

Myndz~iii

Attack of the Bass is 18+, $10 before 11PM and $15 after. Doors at 8PM, venue TBA. Click here for the Facebook event page.

This might be old news by now but who gives a frak? It’s been a busy month. Bassnectar, aka Lorin Ashton, is big daddy in the bass scene and has dropped so many big tracks over the years, he’s more than earned his namesake. Always trying to push the boundaries of different sounds, Bassnectar was one of the first artists to convert me from the traditional 130-140 breakbeats so I got dude’s back. See what this bad man has been up to. You can catch him right now on his Cozza Frenzy Tour. Here are two cuts from the album:

Fever Ray – When I Grow Up (Bassnectar Remix)

91 BPM

Bassnectar – Cozza Frenzy

138 BPM

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 Lounge to almost triple in size of bass maniacs investing not just their hard earned cash (and a little easy money), but their time and effort to make this party possible. If you’re in the area on 8/21 come get loose with us, support your underground, and be part of the BWOMP massif!

It will be all night… it will be renegade… and it will BWOMP!

An-Ten-Nae will be joining us to throw down for his only West Coast appearance before Burning Man! Catch some of his tracks here. You can also cop his new Acid Crunk EP 5 which has been topping all the charts over at Addictech.

Friday August 21st

Only $10 b4 11pm! $15 after

8pm – 5am
