^^ Caspa & Rusko — Cockney Thug

I’m really happy to see that Dubstep is finally growing in popularity in the United States. While I was abroad in London in the spring, it was what was playing in literally every single club. Maybe we can get a dubstep group to come to the Mill? Anyway, if you’re new to this whole dubstep scene, the best artists to get you into it are Rusko, Caspa, SAVOY, maybe some Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, Deadmau5… You may not like it at first, but just listen to the beats and soon enough, maybe it will get into your soul.

-It’s good to be back. Can’t wait for Freelance Whales!!

Enthusiasm Is Contagious

I don’t know if anyone has heard of this electronic group called Bassnectar, but they are pretty awesome. My brother introduced them to me this weekend after he went to one of their gigs in New York City. If you’re a fan of Steve Aoki or DJ Tiesto, you’ll probably enjoy Bassnectar. Based in San Francisco mainly consisting of Lorin Ashton (plus other collaborators), this music is…well, fierce. In other words, it’ll probably get you motivated to do something. Furthermore, there are intense peaks in most of his songs. I personally like doing my calculus homework to it, while my brother likes studying for his CFA test to it.  Anywho, he came out with a new album this year called Cozza Frenzy, and it is delectable. Some of the artists he worked with were Fever Ray (kind of like Bjork) and CatesdpL.

He looks like this:

“Bassnectar is a reflection of that opportunity to give back; the motion of my cells bouncing back at the world.” - Lorin Ashton
