Yo all,
First of, big up the many visitors who returned waiting for the new site to be back up along with the many emails, comments and twitters telling us how much they love the new look layout. Secondly, welcome to all the new faces and people who have joined up. Im sure allot of you were silent downloaders lol but are now taking advantage of getting in early to sign up and download the mixes before the general public do.
Love it or hate it, POP! Goes Dubfluencial 2 is here….! The last mix had a very varied response, some of disgust and worry about where Dubstep is going and some with complete joy that Dubstep is breaking out of the Underground and creating new and exciting music. Either way we love it all and we bring you the latest version with an update of what tracks are being remixed, dropped and popped!
With original tracks coming the like of Kelis and Crookers to classic like Mr Postman getting a bassed up refix there’s plenty to keep you interested and or ashamed lol. If your new to Dubstep, this might be a good place to start. Get familiar with songs you already know and then grow to the more organic and dirty sound. Its very much a Dubstep 101 entry point. Make sure you all support the artists, producers and promoters because with them we would have nothing at all.
The last Dubfluence had a massive reception, so much so it was even published on Japanese super blog Back To Chill and given 4 out of 5 star rating. Some people seem to think Dubstep is now divided, that you either love the hard jump up bass sound which is considered cheesy to some or you love the organic deep sound which is the rightful Dubstep. Im here to show you that is not the case at all. I love both, and i support and follow both.
I wish i could do more Dubfluence mixes but the tracks don’t come thick and fast enough. I will be featuring allot of the producers on these mixes from the likes of Burial, Widdler, Heny G and more. They deserve your support as much as the next. But for the Dubstep ‘community’ to place a stigma on people and portray the scene as you either listen to ‘real’ Dubstep or you don’t is just plain stupid and wrong.
It feels like an age since we gave you the last Electzilla. Even though only two mixes deep, they already have a mini cult following. Lots of Electro sounding bangers, wooble bass and jump up beats, its not hard to understand why. Though they are usually mixed by Ego Thieves resident Electro lord ‘I Am Kane’ this Episode is mixed by myself. Half because i love it and half because Kane has been busy moving home and creating a new bedroom for his mixing equipment lol. He will be back in the mix very soon bringing you some of his badaman skills soon.
If you didn’t know, we been a bit missing recently. But its all for a good reason, and in two weeks time you will know why. Big up to those that know and giving us loads of amazing feedback… cannot wait! Lots of new mixes coming, we haven’t slowed down, if anything we have only just begun. Quick big ups to the many many followers and supporters who have got us where we are in just 6 short month.
From 50k page-views a month on average now, 10k unique visitors on average, well over 200k downloads and impossible to really count anymore, hundreds of forums and blogs showing us love, people re upping mixes on rapidshare, torrents, newgroups lol just everywhere (even though they are always free on here 😛 ) we thank you all and we love you long time… init.
Fancy dress is a MUST, i repeat, its a must. If you come in your plains you will be laughed at and maybe even egged who knows, but what i do know is it will cost you more if your not. With the regulars Rattus Rattus, Klose One, DJ Drama, those Men In Masks and for the first time ever live in the flesh myself and Random Impulse from the Ego Thieves have teamed up to bring you a set not to be missed with a few tricks up our sleeve too. I cant wait…!  Weekend wrist bands for £10 only! Buy them here. Also confirm on the Facebook guest list here.
