Dirty South March 2012 Mix Review

by Chris Allderdice

Australian-based House DJ/Producer Dirty South returns with another energetic and dynamic mix for March. Available for download on his Soundcloud page (http://soundcloud.com/dirtysouth), the 50 minute journey into one of house music’s brightest minds starts with a bang and drives the tempo deeper and deeper. Flowing from his ethereal smash hit “Eyes Wide Open” featuring the angelic Kate Elsworth, Dirty South takes aim at the ceiling and crashes straight through it with big room house that sharply contrasts the ever popular Dutch house sound. In addition to sprinkling in Zedd’s electro gem remix of “Breakin A Sweat” and a banger from Brazilian duo Felguk, Dirty South features Axwell’s festival ready mix of “In My Mind” by Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl featuring Georgi Kay. If you haven’t heard this track by now, you might have not seen or heard some of the biggest sets of the new year spinning the incredibly deep and moving house track. Perfectly designed for a long drive, weekend pump up anthems or enjoying your own personal Dirty South set, this mix is a must hear.

Don’t miss Dirty South blow the roof off The Starlight Ballroom on March 28th as part of Steez Promo’s Bassdrop: Miami Hangover Edition Series!!

Kill the Noise & Datsik – Lightspeed

by Travis Bernard

Skrillex’s record label, OSWLA, is shaping up to be something very special. From Porter Robinson and Skream to Koan Sound and Kill the Noise, the releases on OSWLA keep getting better and better. The latest track to drop on OSWLA is from Kill the Noise & Datsik, and I highly recommend giving it a listen. Titled “Lightspeed,” the track blends the unique EDM style of Kill the Noise with Datsik’s skull crushing dubstep wobbles. While the beat structure is mostly similar to a house tune, there’s plenty of room for interpretation. It’s amazing to see two cutting edge artists collaborating on a project to produce a completely different sound. OSWLA is consistently making us re-think how we classify music, and “Lightspeed” is no exception to that rule.

No Antidote Tour – 3/3/2012

by Charles Malek

When I hear “No Antidote” I think of Chev Chelios seeking an antidote for the Beijing Cocktail in the movie Crank. “There is no Antidote [...] Honestly, you should be dead already. It’s a miracle.” No Antidote? Chances are people are going to get wrecked. Chances are some won’t survive. I took my chances and arrived at the show on 3 hours of sleep. Sleep deprivation? No antidote for that. Catching up on sleep is a lie. Doesn’t work. I tried it once. I was still tired the next day. Electronic dance gladiators don’t need sleep. They need energy drinks and maybe glow sticks, sunglasses, water. Sleep isn’t on that list.

At some point in No Antidote’s 40 city tour, headliners Nit Grit and Two Fresh are going to be familiar with sleep deprivation themselves. Sleep deprivation can make things trippy like washing down poprocks with Robitussin. Trippy would be a good way to describe Tek Subport opening the show. Their style spanned a myriad of genres from dubstep, electro, house, electro-house. One of their songs mixed heavy bass with heavier guitar; it was very heavy. It reminded me of Infected Mushroom. Their set got the crowd worked up. The crowd came to party.

Fractal came on right after Tek Subport, without delay. It was clear immediately that he was on a mission to test the foundation of Soundstage with excess bass, rattling the floors and fixtures of the venue. His bass was nasty. I was sitting on a stool at the back when he went on, but he knocked me off. Earthquakes? No antidote for that either.

Nit Grit is physically imposing like an NBA power forward, playing dirty dubstep with a Pretty Lights style laser show. Lasers everywhere. He had lasers shooting all over like an Imperial battleship trying to destroy Baltimore. Laser shot to the head? No antidote for that. Lasers in Goldeneye were one-shot kills. Nit Grit’s lasers were shooting holes into the audience for the bass to invade into. Womper-laser annihilation of Soundstage? No antidote, man.

Hangovers? No antidote for that. Bloody Mary’s may have been able to stave off the debilitating effects of binge drinking, but to be clear, there’s no antidote. However, Soundstage did have 3 full bars and a mini bar around the dance floor. Spilled some of my drink on the floor for my homies who couldn’t make it due to sleep deprivation when Two Fresh started up. Two Fresh deftly displayed their skills in djing, hip hop, and live drumming. Their murky sound took me back to the Amon Tobin and Dilla tracks used on Adult Swim bumps. Two Fresh bass party? No Antidote. Just let yourself be destroyed. It will feel good.
