Know Bros, Know Hos

Brostep is what's hot in the club. Most commonly known for it's hi energy, abrasive mid-range, often coupled with familiar snippets of lyricism. This sub-genre is stirring up the same controversy as did, "Jump-Up" when it became "Wobble" in the world of d&b. Those against are calling it "tasteless," and "musicless." I say, it's for the dancefloor.

The first, one from up and comer, Richie August, making waves right now, with his tunes showcased on an international level. Once again, look out for his side project, Hulk, with none other than Claw of TrillBass, and keep a look out in 2010 for their new label "Brotown Records."

Next is Seattle's own Surpass aka Yoko Brohno, a new comer to the game, but no stranger to DJ'ing with 10 years under his belt, giving us a little taste of his capabilities in the lab. Surpass is also owner of Alterkation Dubstep, currently taking submissions for future releases. Look out for ALT004, out soon on most major digital retailers. But while you wait go grab their previous releases HERE.

Brodown!

'Yeah Brah!' Claw of Trillbass, returns to Seattle Friday the 13th November 2009, at a new venue. Expect the heavy heavy heavy and what some know as "brostep". This event is one of many dubstep events to come hosted by, Seattle based Harvard ST Mafia.

And keep your ears open for new project with Chicago(USA) based Richie August, as they've joined forces to bring you HULK. With their first EP forthcoming on Reid Speed's Play Me Records, expect pure dancfloor murderation. And word on the street is these two are startin up a spankin new label, BroTowm. And trust, there's some heat in store for that ass.
