URB Presents: Bassanovva (EXCLUSIVE MIX) + Flashing Lights 2-Year Anniversary Debut (MP3)

Finally, after much-deserved buzz from DJs and clubhounds, the duo of Jubilee (Brooklyn’s favorite DJ) and Grahm Zilla (1/2 of  Thunderheist) are finally coming out of the dark as Bassanovva. With an upcoming release on Sinden’s Grizzly imprint, the duo are already stand-alone excellent DJs but together they very well could be the firestarters on the floor. Even more exciting will be their debut, presented by one of URB’s favorite NYC parties, Flashing Lights, who will be celebrating their 2-year anniversary. Along with that they’ve provided an EXCLUSIVE mix for us that’s absolutely amazing, highlighting the up-and-coming talents of today’s bass scene as well as bits of their upcoming release. Info on the mix, the party and download link after the jump.

URB Presents Bok Bok: Night Sluggin’ Mix Exclusive & Upcoming Tour Dates (MP3)

The young label Night Slugs has been on a tear lately, with a successful first release highlighting Mosca (along with a string of fantastic remixes) and an upcoming release from Canadian smash-master Egyptrixx that will shake your brain into bass oblivion. However, this is only the beginning for the bubbling hot label, as co-owner Alex Sushon (better known by his production/DJ alias Bok Bok) is ready to unleash upcoming Slugs dubs on this exclusive mix for URB. Along with vocal reminders from MC Jammer, Bok Bok guides us through a maddening and rhythmically fruitful journey between cracking synth lines and hypnotic drum patterns in a mix that’s sure to break your speakers.

SXSW Day Four Recap: Wind-ing Up The Weekend

The final day comes along as fast as the whipping winds. 

Reaching the  end of SXSW is no easy task. Walking along Sixth Street proves to be a daunting task as attendees are tired, stressed and looking to wrap up their musical journey with a bang. While everyone was looking for a way to get a  second wind to move on, Mother Nature provided more wind than anything. With a high temperature in the low 40s, this wasn’t the Austin anyone expected; but they marched forth to continue on the conquest of having a successful SXSW experience.

Starting the day off with ghetto house and heavy (and at times funky) bass, the club Barcelona was the starting point with DJs Jubilee (Nightshifters), L-Vis 1990, (Mad Decent, Night Slugs) Kingdom (Fool’s Gold, Night Slugs) representing …

FLASHING LIGHTS with Todd Edwards & Kingdom

UK Garage, Rave Juice and Dim Sum. The Friday night trifecta of glory. 

One of New York City’s most rave-tastic parties, FLASHING LIGHTS, is going strong once again with a lineup that will crush househeads into oblivion. New cat KINGDOM has been gaining steam on the blogosphere for a while now, with a fantastic mix on Discobelle and some amazing trance-fried grimey/juke house riddims, he’ll be tearing up the floor a new one. But that’s not all… UK Garage GODFATHER (and Jersey native) Todd Edwards is also in the building! Most people know Todd as being the vocals behind Daft Punk’s “Face To Face” off their album Discovery, but Todd has been making tracks for a while and without his influence in electronic music culture…there might not have been an evolution towards dubstep or whatever the music’s called nowadays. Oh and you’ll also see the fabulous resident DJs: Nick Catchdubs (Fool’s Gold), DJ …
