digging dubstep
Today’s Hype Track
DZ looks to be starting a series of dubbed up motown classics, promises to be pretty hype if he continues at the level he’s starting (or better yet, goes upward from here). check it.
Dubstepping
People dug on the dubstep set WaNP dropped at the Evil Breaks 5 year and what I brought to We <3 Bass. I'm really liking a ton of stuff I've found out there, and still feel like I'm only just grazing the surface of the genre. It seems like there's probably a big scene in the bay, but I'm blissfully unaware of it.
I don't feel like I'm really finding a groove in playing it however, my mixes are fine, but very outro into intro. Basic. I haven't found a happy finesse point. More experimenting needs to be done, as that super simple outro/intro trance dj style makes the baby jesus cry.

I got offered a job about two weeks after I accepted that I couldn’t afford the drop in pay that went with it. The act of looking, and of getting the offer helped me not feel so damn trapped at current job. And admitting to the boss that I was not happy seems to have greased some gears towards making things better.
Trying to get the bootystudio fully operational in the fits and starts method of a new father. Pretty much everything I do is in fits and starts, a few minutes found here, a few there.
Also trying to flip a beat in the Stones Throw Forum Beat Battles at least once a month, maybe more as the studio becomes fully operational, and I don’t have to dick around to work.
