Chris Lake last night at Maison Mercer,  Zeds Dead tonight at Kool Haus. I think this weekend is taken care of quite nicely.

However, there’s one event that needs to be highlighted specially. Tonight, Wrongbar plays host to the third annual Producing For Presents EP release party. This event is the reason the Faceless management team, Embrace Presents and all these Toronto artists are the cream of the crop in class and talent. For three years, some of the best local DJs have been hitting the studio to create some gems on behalf of the less fortunate. It will be a warm atmosphere with some rich tuneage. John Roman, Poupon, Gold ‘n’ Grams, Prince Club and Meech will all be out, so be sure to pop in and check the event. An automatic place on Santa’s Nice list for those who attend.

CLICK HERE to hear/read more about the event! At least come out for the eggnog!

On to the Sweets….

My Favourite track off the PFP3 EP, VLSONN keeps it slanted and crisp with DX707 … boogie!

SOFI has a cult-like following. In some camps she’s a prodigy and the scond coming. In some other camps she’s not so well known. I feel she has what it takes to go to the next level — and songs like this are helping.

Noisia, Sofi – Again Sometime (Extended Mix): LISTEN TO IT HERE 

bpm Nation loves them some Tiësto. So this will be the biggest track to grab this week, as he takes on a classic. This tune will self destruct in five seconds!

Mission Impossible Theme (Tiësto Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE

Gigamesh has just given you your New Year’s Eve anthem. Thank him later.

Gigamesh – Burnin: LISTEN TO IT HERE 

A mini-mix second to none. Gain on Top have absolutely created a beast and deserve top prize on chemicaljump.com.

Gain on Top – “Gimme Five” Minimix: LISTEN TO IT HERE

If you know me then you know I love Kris Menace. Whether it’s him, BlackVan or his newest creation Stars on 33, the Menace man gets it done. With a litttle help from Lawrence Tompson and Radical Peterson this is “Keep on Dancing”!

Stars On 33 – Keep On Dancing: LISTEN TO IT HERE

Visual Candy

The visuals are available for Brodinski‘s smash “Let The Beat Control Your Body.” The teaser to the release of the Bromance EP makes producing bangers with Gesaffelstein look so effortless. It’s incredible to think how big this song could end up being.

Jonas Rathsman‘s “Tobago” has been a song that I play once a day. It lifts your spirit in a subtle way without you really knowing. He shot a perfect video to match the song: laid back on the islands. Classic.

If it ain’t broke … “Loca People” was everyone’s guilty pleasure it came out. Well, we’re back for round two, as audio porn meets meets visual guilt. Yeah, I watched it twice. OK, three times.

And that’s your sweets for this week. See you guys at the shows……………………….xx

Today is the day we dubheadz have been waiting for all week. Sam and Biz continue their tour as they make a quick homecoming at The Mod Club. Tonight it’s all about the bass!

In case you’ve been situated in a wormhole for the past couple of years, I’ll explain who Sam and Biz are.  They’re a pair of DJs — a.k.a. The Killabits — who (along with their cronies Zeds Dead) are changing the face of dubstep. They have taken this genre and created a culture. Along with the folks at Embrace Presents, they started what has become a ritual on Wednesday nights in the streets of Toronto: Bassmentality.  Borgore, Skrillex, Doctor P etc. have all blessed the stage at Wrongbar because of the reputation these guys have.

When you get a chance to talk to them, it becomes easy to see where they get it. Besides being among the most innovative artists Toronto has produced in recent times, they are incredigbly open to all genres of music.  When I talked to Sam and Biz at WEMF, I referred to them as a dubstep group and was pulled up short right away: “We’re not pigeonholed to that role, we play good music.” How could I argue with Biz? Just 15 minutes earlier, these guys were playing an almost jungle-sounding track with a heavy bass influence, so nasty the clouds themselves took issue and decided to shut down the festival for half an hour with a torrential downpour. Sick.

Whatever you call them, make sure you add “hard-working,” because these guys have put in their time and effort, and now they’re enjoying the well-deserved fruits of their labour.  I’m not going to waste time talking about the songs I’m posting because the sh*t is hot — ’nuff said!  Do yourself a favour though: CATCH THESE DUDES LIVE (!!!!) and see what music is all about.  They weren’t the last set at the timeless Social Club in Toronto by accident. For those of you who can’t make it to their shows, no stress: bpm:tv has got you covered. Our Live Sessions Canada crew will be on hand at The Mod Club tonight. And if you can make it … well, be sure to load up on the Gatorade and vodka, cuz it’s gonna be a long night.  See you there!

Also, help out your Canadian artists out and buy these on Beatport!

The Killabits – Just A Fool

Deadmau5 – Raise Your Weapon (Noisia Remix) (The Killabits Moombahcore Edit)

Freedom Or Death – This Crowded Room (The Killabits Remix)

… and if that last one wasn’t enough: say goodbye to your speakers. On repeat all day!!!

The Killabits – She Said (dubstep remix): LISTEN TO THIS ONE HERE

If I were to ever try to make a song, it would be for just one reason: the off-chance they might remix it … xx
