Whiiite & Prima Volta ft. Stazz - Broken
In a culture driven by the internet, new music is always available. Therefore, in order to really make a name for yourself, the quality, rather than the quantity, of the music producers release to the public is more significant in creating a lasting impression on the listening public, i.e. all of us bass heads. If your remix is utterly jaw-dropping, you're on the radar with the bloggers and EDM aficionados salivating for your next release (even if it's only to ensure you aren't a one-hit wunderkind).
Well, if you've heard his A-MAZE-BALLS remix of Knife Party's Fire Hive, then you're already aware of Whiiite. He's been releasing remixes that have been in my heavy rotation for some time now. Hailing from Hollywood, CA, DJ Chris White aka Whiiite has been making waves. By incorporating the scratchy, filthy sub bass tones into a groove beat, his productions are absolute bangers. Check out his soundcloud here. His bio is interesting and demonstrates his creative/imaginative side. He's just released a Halloween EP for free, and the track we're featuring today is from his first EP "Whiiite Begins EP" out now on Beatport. If you like filthy bass, do not sleep on this guy. Go grab your copy or stream through soundcloud today. Click Play. Thank me later.
Also, my favorite of his tracks from awhile back...someone told me, "this remix isn't that great." And then, they heard it drop. ;P The one below is pure nektar.

Suicide Silence - You Only Live Once (Hulk Remix)
Dubstep has many moods and faces. It varies from the relaxing melodies of chillstep to the groove and rock of trapstep. Then, there's FILTHY. The filthy tracks are the ones that make you go "ughhhh!!!" and crack a big smile. These special tracks are perfect for a head-banging sesh on the road or for that workout obstacle that you can't pass without an extra push. This track, my friends, is the track that will turn your Monday into a Friday in less than a minute.
If you are familiar with dubstep, you've probably heard of HULK. Out of Chi-Town and Gotham, these two have an anthology of tracks that are worth exploring. Each one is filthier than the next. Check out their soundcloud. This track in particular is an absolute MONSTER. Combining the heavy hardcore style of SUICIDE SILENCE and adding in their signature dirty wobble bass, HULK's remix of YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE is a must-add in all iTunes playlist formats. It starts heavy and just...keeps...on...going. Hide your wife and your kids. Your ears are about to get raped. You've been warned. ;P

Current Obsession: Zeds Dead
Hello, my bass-loving butterflies!! I want to take a moment and welcome our international viewers (you may be bots, but you may be awesome dub heads. We welcome both...for now. :D) As you guys know, I was one of the lucky thousands that went to Counterpoint last month, and with all the wonderful lasting memories and exciting after-effects on my life and musical palette, I came away from the experience with a newly rediscovered love for some of my favorite djs. Namely, in this instance, I'm referring to ZEDS DEAD.
Hailing from north of the border (Toronto, CA), this musically-brilliant duo has been destroying venues and eardrums for years. Starting their dance floor productions in 2009, they've released monster upon monster contributing their genre-breaking, hip-hop-influenced style to the anthology of room shakers. To quote a friend of mine, "Zeds Dead makes the filthy really clean. It's so crisp you can't help but move part of your body. -CPC"
Catch them live just once, and I promise you'll recognize what has made over 300K people salivate. Check out their "The Living Dead EP" collaboration with Omar Linx. Tracks below are some personal favorites. Click Play. Enjoy.

Bass Enthusiasts: $$$XXX has a radio show
Have you guys heard? Homeboy's got a new radio show. No, not me, but Ross a.k.a. $$$XXX a.k.a. Reptar a.k.a. Magic is straight murdering the college radio scene right now. He did a few preview mixes on SCAD Atlanta Radio, and he now has a two-hour bass-heavy radio show on Saturdays from 10PM to 12AM (EST). You should check him out in iTunes radio or with the TuneIn app on iOS devices (search SCAD ATLANTA RADIO). His most recent broadcast is downloadable below. Spread the word, this kid has taste. He doesn't have many tracks, but his faves are worth perusing. Soundcloud

Zooly - You Should Know
Taking Dragonette's vocal sample from her HUGE track "Hello" with Martin Solveig, Zooly absolutely destroys this track. It's not just a remix or a genre-specific track (Well, I guess if you had to label it, it'd be trap). It's a fantastic production. Give it a listen and tell me it's not dirty.
