30hz


Monday 04.28.08

Remember a few months ago when you friend sent you that Burial CD and you were like “holy balls dubstep is sweet! no one could ever come close to this?” Well, get a new pair of underwear ready, because 30hz will make you pee yourself. While the album is far from straight dubstep (more “tech-funk” as the label likes to call it), “Mutate” will hit all your buttons sequentially.

James Grinzburg, the dude behind the project, just released his debut album with the moniker a few months ago. Electric Sheep reminds me a little of what Entroducing… did to me the first time I heard it, although in a very different way. Grinzburg’s sense of idiosyncratic ryhthm and penchant for weirdly beautiful samples has really turned me on to the techno/house/breakbeat family. Hopefully it’ll do the same to you, dear reader.

Hi everyone! Kyle here. I hope you enjoyed Ben’s 30Hz post and the 30Hz track but I feel that you need a second track of dubsteppy goodness! One of my favorites from the album:

This week is final exams week at my university and If you’re in the same boat as me; this song goes out to people like us. People who wish they could be playing Wii instead of studying Communication Theory.

A lot of times when I’m studying I listen to music and you could say that’s true for a lot of students. However, the one particular genre of music I listen to the most is instrumental because often times I find vocals to be distracting. One particular artist that I’ve been listening to lately would have to be British DJ and producer, Dave Tipper. Tipper’s nu breakbeat and ambient workings are phenomenal and the particular song I’m sharing with you seems to have excellent tempo and energy for what I’m studying so hopefully it fits whatever you’re working on.

burial

It’s snowing outside and I’m wearing a sweater vest and sipping on some filtered water while chatting with my girlfriend. I always discover something new about myself when I talk with her; it’s very meditative. She’s an extremely lovely human being and her ability to offer advice is really unmatched by anyone I’ve ever met before.

Speaking of the word meditative; I’m a fan of meditative-esque music. (She is too actually!) Post rock, ambient electronic; those two definitely fit the bill for me a lot but I really like hip hop ambient sounds, especially from the likes of Nicolay and J Dilla. Another genre that fits this bill is dubstep. Our boy, Burial gets the job done.

We all love people who conceal their identity. It’s pretty bad ass. Just look at Banksy, the graffiti artist, the nameless, faceless man has been beautifully vandalizing the streets for years. Burial is the moniker of the anonymous dubstep artist from London. Burial creates absolutely gorgeous and critically acclaimed music that is easily danceable.

Enjoy two trax from his 2007 release, Untrue.
