Dubstep Monday

Dubstep Monday: Seattle Dubstep Scene

After an amazing first weekend in Seattle, I’m ready to get back to the blog. I’ve begun to compost my Columbus swag and I feel after all the sun the past few days, Seattle is ready for a sprinkling. Soon my Seattle soil will be fresh and fertile and ready for a beautiful spring bloom.

Upon arriving at the Green Tortoise Hostel in downtown Seattle on Friday night, I was greeted by @Nigel_God in a flurry of freshness along with friend Miss Lee from Vancouver. Within an hour of landing, my world was flipped on its head as we hit Club Contour for the Shift Dubstep Sessions, a party claiming to be Seattle’s longest running Dubstep event. The night was eventful to say the least. While things heated up on the dance floor, I made my way around the party networking with those that seemed to know the drill. After meeting Dirty Steve of Shift crew along with  Brenna and J. Lee, owners Ground Zero Studios and private venue SPACE, I was blasted by the boisterous beats of San Francisco DJ/producer Sam Supa. Just in case I had any doubt that this pacific north west party pack goes hard, I was reassured as the bouncers cleared space for a highly talented fire spinner to take stage on a table, following which she quite literally harnessed the fires of hell  and burned it down!!

Here’s a taste of Sam Supa…

Simply put, the lineup for Saturday night was… promising. We retired the day with a stunning sunset viewed in style from the water tower at Volunteer park, following which we enjoyed a few delicious bowls of Pho. As party time approached, we readied ourselves for an epic night with Freq Nasty and Marty Party at Neumo’s. We arrived as the Freq hit the stage and found our space near the speaker as ordained by @Nigel_God. It could have been Freq Nasty’s panty droppin basslines or maybe Neumo’s should really be called Nympho’s, but I think the combination of intoxicating dub and the pleasure packed party environment equipped with loads of green fog brought out the FREQQQQ  in all of us  X)

Pause for some Freqiness…

Next up was the infamous producer of purple, Marty Party. Rockin his cap on low as usual, MartyParty passed the purple and everyone partook in the premium funk that is his SASQUATCH SOUND. That is to say, Marty Party is no man… He is a monster. Enough said.

Enjoy the freshest mix yet, released to Soundcloud only six days ago. This is Blueberry Kush…

After the show, @Nigel_God was no where to be found so Miss Lee and I caught a ride with newfound friends claiming Flying Beat Entertainment down to SODO where the party was just getting started at SPACE. Greeted at the door by owner Brenna herself, SPACE provided the most welcoming environment I have ever experienced upon entering a warehouse party. A few tables were set up with free food to feed all the late night party zombies ready to dance til dawn. I must say, I happily joined the feeding frenzy before hitting the dancefloor for a few more hours of newly energized naughtiness. Feeling quite satisfied, Miss Lee and myself joined forces with Adam of Bassdrop to catch a cab back to Capitol Hill to turn in for the evening.

To sum it all up, Seattle has more to offer than any dub fiend can could ever consume. My first weekend was truly epic. Thanks to all that had a hand in the excitement and stay tuned for more to come of my super swagged out Seattle stories.

Bless up.

  1. For its second release NOT4KIDS Records hits bullseye with Asian Trash Boy’s long-awaited album.

    It features 8 dubstep tracks, with touches of melancholy and violence, that will make your heartbeat shift while soothing choirs, orchestral violins and sweet melodies altern with ATB trademarked brutal basses.

    Among them you won’t miss these 3 featurings : Dragon Seed feat. VIOLETTE // Rockstepper feat. KLERVO-JEST // Smash&Grab feat. EYE DOLLS.

    For sure, this album won’t leave you indifferent.

  2. NOT4KIDS proudly presents TROUBLEGUM’s new solo release

    Spicycle : Squished shifting basses, mysterious chiming, a touch of epicness all wrapped into a dark reverberant athmosphere. alchemic dubstep.

    Lust in space’s basses were made by torturing a stuttering space mutant and recording it through a megaphone. or was it an improbable combination of filters and distortion pedals over a synth used the wrong way ? heavy drumstep for this one.

    Filthy hybridation of dubstep and gabber (!!!) Memories of rotterdam wakes up the robotic raver inside you with its ternary rythm, hardcore kicks and aggressive synths. having ingested all these energy drinks of various fluorescent colors was indeed a good idea. Get ready for some action, here comes Troublegum !
