Skream

I'm really feeling this Skream Mix. It seems that the dubstep sound is morphing more and more into actual Dub. I must say I miss the faster beats, but it's growing on me more and more with every listen. Interesting read about the early days of dubstep/grime. Crazy to think that these cats are the children of the junglist massive. And what most of us wouldn't give for that 'Wall of '89-96 dubplates never been played'.

Double Identity - Can't Explain - Hot new Broken Beat out of San Francisco

Just picked up this new 12" from the one like Double Identity (aka Dub ID, aka Tomas of XLR8R) on his own imprint: Voltage. I've enjoyed everything on the label thus far so it's no surprise how great this record is. There's a quirky detroit broken remix by Titonton as well. So good to see some high quality choonage coming out of the bay. Keep up the good work!

Get it at Groovedis.

Forward Ever

I jus wanna say...

Well, given my copious amounts of free time at work these days combined with an inherent addiction to all things web, I decided it was time to start bloggin'. Theres a guy in my building who has 'bloggin' as his license plate. Now that is hardcore.

Anyway, I intend to post mixes, tunes in progress, links to pics on flikr and other random bits. Hope you enjoy the humble musings of Juan the Beat Farmer.
