Our next Rub The Ego release features a producer called Legend4ry who is a 20 year old electronic dance music producer hailing from Greenwich in London. Chris “Legend4ry” Gallienne is a ex-art student turned musician pushing a range of styles from Grime and Dubstep to Garage and House, Triphop and Hiphop as well as Ambient and Downtempo it is not hard to see Legend4ry is not afraid to explore different aspects of music.
November. For man its wet, soggy, windy and the real start of what is to be a very cold winter (well for us in the UK anyway!). These short days and long nights certainly take its toll. So what better way to give your day a huge kick up the arse than to download and grab one of our mixes!
Brand new and literally hot off the shelf is the second instalment by none other than Ego Thieves, DJ Drama. For those who have still decided to stray away from the more filthier side of Dubstep and prefer the sublow, organic sound, this is a must have. Even if your not into the more original roots that Dubstep has to offer download it anyway because lets be honest Dubstep comes in all shapes and forms, which is why we love it and is the sole reason you should too.
Its been a tad few minutes since the last Rub The Ego EP, but its still very much alive and kicking. Myself and Hosta have had a crazy few months dealing with everything from new websites, ten brand new mixes, exclusive videos and of course the massive Rub A Dub Dub events. Fear not, as we are back and bigger than ever (I sound like an X-Factor advert no?).
Dubfluencial 10 aka Enter The Dub has landed. Its been a fair few months since the last one and nothings changed. Mixed by the Ego Thieves (Jenai & Drama), expect lots of hard, soulful and some of the dirtiest bass around. Dubstep has gained huge popularity which is making it more appealing to new producers. Lots im afraid are not making the cut.
We love our midrange sound, but we also love quality control. Here is our pick of what sound we love, a whole variety of it. Huge exclusives from the likes of Borgore, Funtcase, Stinkahbell, Roksonix, J.Rabbit and more, this is a mix not to be missed. Please note it is not for the feint hearted or made for laptop speakers. Go find yourself a dirty big system, or sneakily plug it in at your local Dixons store, and get yourself skanking out like never before.
Im always shocked to find out how popular our Pop Dub series is. SO many of appreciate and love the combined sounds of tracks you know with a Dubstep twist. Things are really elevating for this sound too. From Katy B and Magnetic Man putting out huge original vocal tracks to Rusko rumoured to be working on tracks for Britney Spears. Let alone not forgetting our resident Dubstep superstar Borgore (love him or hate him!) who is pushing the sound of Dubstep/Gorestep to a massive audience.
Dubfluence has to be one of my first loves on Ego Thieves (Even if I say so myself). The debate on many a forum on what is Dubstep and what is not is so beyond tedious its a joke. I have said it before and I will say it again, I love all aspects of Dubstep. I love to go out and DJ and drop some nasty mid range wobble, some dirty Subs and some, just out there crazy tunes.
Then I love to come home, grab some food, pick up my Macbook and chill out to the amazing musical talents that Is Burial, James Blake, Phaeleh and more. This mix is full of Deep vibes, lots of Soul and lots of Sub. Don’t listen to it on your laptop…bring out the big speakers or get those headphones on and enjoy.
Some of you who are more new to Dubstep may not of heard of DJ Orien, but allot of long standing Dubstep followers will. I first copped my Orien vinyl, Look Into My Eyes, almost two years ago. The artwork was crazy btw lol. With his signature wobble sounds and Sub frequencies that aren’t for the feint hearted, Orien always packs a punch.
He actually did this mix for Ego Thieves in July, but due to the redesign plans for the Ego Thieves brand and site, it got a delayed released until now. Lots of Dubs and lots of Sub. All my gritty Dubstep fans, this one is for you. Big ups to DJ Orien and look here at his Discogs to learn why he is a legend.
Dirrrtee Ego is a collaboration between Ego Thieves and clothing label Dirrrtee.com. A musical journey, highlighting some of the best tracks of the year all mixed by our very own Jenai. This was given away free at various events around london (Such as The Reset etc) but was never relased for public download on Ego Thieves…until now. 35 tracks from House to Garage, this is truly a non stop party mix.
Now as if free downloads and ten brand new mixes isn’t enough? Inside this download is an EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT code to be used on Dirrrtee.com. Vaild for a month today, you can grab a huge 30% off when you spend only £35. Big ups to James at Dirrrtee and all the fam.
DJ Drama, is back. While creating the new website and all the new juicy mixes, me and Drama are having our usual love fest on Skype trying to think of a new name for a mini Dubstep mix series. We come up with a host of names that just didn’t work. So I ask Drama what are you doing right now? He replies ‘Eating Chicken & Drinking Vodka’.
So BLAM! A new mix series is born. Taking you a deeper sound of Dubstep, showcasing yet again the many faces Dubstep has and why every one of them is as good as the last. Expect loads of Dubplates, real Sublow sounds an lots of vibes. Catch Jenai & Drama Djing all around the globe. Btw this mix is single MP3, but the next in the series will be tracked as usual.
We are still here, working even harder on even more secret projects behind the scenes. Now we are pleased to finally announce one of them… Rub The Ego. This is a collaboration project with our brother website Rub A Dub Dub focusing on promoting artists through the distribution of Free EP’s.
Each EP is entirely original and 100% free for everybody…! We have many artists lined up for EP’s and we are kicking things off with Levelz.
Here is POP! Goes Dubfluencial 4 (Or Pop Dub for short). We are increasing the amount of tracks we put into our mixes now to bring you an even bigger, more Egotastic (cheesy I know..) experience.
Also this is our first official mix with a wallpaper pack. All super high quality for loads of diff screen sizes as well as a bonus iPhone version for your pixel pleasure. The artwork again is a collaboration between myself and fellow Ego Thief JC Adams.

I love that so many always ask me when the new Dubfluence is going to drop. It goes to show that most who like the hard, face shrinking bass are exactly the same people who appreciate and love the organic, deeper sound of Dubstep just like we do.
Here is Dubfluence 3, full of beautiful bass and just simply, amazing music all mixed by myself of course. Also Dubfluence is now all grown up and this artwork represents the first in a series of dedicated themes for each series. The artwork represents the depths and emotion of Dubstep, something more organic and natural (there is always a science behind what we do lol).
