Post 17: Excision!
This Friday, Excision will be playing a make-up show for a 2500 party that got shut down about a month ago. This party will be ONLY 1500 people... ONLY? I thought 800 people was huge for this scene... and then he goes and headlines two MASSIVE parties. It's really unbelievable and I must say I love the Calgary dubstep scene! So incredible.
Alright so if you have read my previous posts you know that the first time I saw excision, I didn't even know who he was. It was my first ever big dubstep show, and he opened up for Caspa. I remember sitting in the booths waiting for Caspa thinking this guy is really good. He is slaying it! Anyways, I never really knew anything about him other than a couple songs...
Apex-Nowhere to Run(Excision+Datsik Remix)
Excision-Force(feat Noiz)*youtube
...until I walk into the village Saturday night in 2009, put my earplugs in and march to the front of the speakers. Truth be told I had no idea what songs were being played other than a few that I could recognize, but the movement of the crowd and the overall intense experience that night is something I'll never forget. It wasn't until he released his shambhala mix a few weeks later, that I truly appreciated what an amazing dj/producer this guy was. Not only does he go seemlessly from dubstep to dnb and back a couple times, he packs 90 minutes with 49 songs! guy is constantly mixing, blending, switching and keeps it sounding so fresh the entire 90 minutes. So crazy! Not only that but 19 of the 49 tunes are his! AND like 80% of them are released on his label Rottun Records! Something unheard of from a North American DJ, let alone a guy from Canada. Yes, Excision! Prob the top Dubstep artist in the world, or close to is Canadian! Shed a tear, coz he has put Canadian dubstep and all of our crazy fans ON THE MAP! Anyways, check out his 2008 mix, and his brand new 2010 mix here:
2008
2010
And here are a couple of his tunes:
Excision, Datsik- Swagga
Noisia-No Holds Barred(Excision Remix)
Excision-Darkness(feat Subvert)
Excision & DZ-Yin Yang EP *first release on the brand new Ex7 Records
Lil Wayne-A Milli(Excision and Datsik Remix)*youtube
Well, thats all I got for now, excision is fuckin sick and I'm excited as hell to see him on Friday. Be easy friends! See you at the show!

Post 15: Tripstep
Hey peeps,
Got some itch for tripstep. Broad genre including anything that trips you the fuck out and doesn't quite make sense musically. My top3 artists and some of their material to follow.
ESKMO! I freakin love this cat. He's got sooooo many tunes that are so crazy original and freaky as fuck, production quality thats out of this world, with deep hard hitting bass. It's unmatchable in my mind. If you like the tripstep, check him out! He's coming to Calgary with Beats Antique in October. More details to follow.... check out dis tune and mix by the Don of tripstep: :::ESKMO::: :)
Eskmo-Land and Bones*you can notice that he cuts a beat out during parts of this song. It's so crazy how he makes it work somehow.
Eskmo Brainfeeder Mix *click on the picture to download this amazing mix. Although I do not promote drug use. This mix blew my mind on K one night. It somehow tells a story in your brain. However drugs are illegal and I in no way endorse them! Hope I'm allowed to say this?
Flying Lotus! Even though FlyLo is technically trip-hop he spans all genres and is such a genius that he couldn't not be on my list. The first time I heard about this guy was during the Olympics in Vancouver, my friend Devon convinced me to come and experience something crazy. I decided to pound back some shitake mushrooms right before, which probably wasn't the smartest idea, but definitely made the experience more intense for sure! During his live performance their were screens playing the most f'd up videos you have ever seen! People dying and gore all over the place, it was quite fucked, not to mention that his djing style is like none other. It's like its never on beat but then hits you in the teeth with a pounding rhythm... but then never quite makes sense. It's f'n crazy and I would recommend that everyone see this man at least once in their lifetime. I will always remember it! So nuts. Anyways this man is a genius and you all should check him out. He's got brains, swagger, and a lot of flare!
FlyLo Essential mix on BBC radio1
Flying Lotus-Massage Situation
Last but not least: Amon Tobin! I saw Amon Tobin at Motion Notion in 2009 and his set was so weird that I actually left an hour through because I was so confused and tired mentally. He is a mastermind of beats, and he definitely cultured me in a number of different styles. I am finally starting to realize why he headlined that musicfest and why so many people are in love with his tunes! Check his website for mixes and info on this great artist!
Eskamon(Eskmo and Amon Tobin) - Fine Objects* Nutty tune!
Amon Tobin-Slowly
Well enough of the trippy shit, a new tune for my heavy dubstep fans!

One issue though. The show is at HIFI, which means only 200 people will be able to witness this EPIC night. Tickets are only $15 and are surely to sellout retarded quick. Don't wait!
Borgore-Ice cream
Saturday, November 13: Beats Antique w/ special guest Eskmo
facebook event page
I am personally so stoked for this show. These guys played snowblower fest last year at olympic plaza, they made huge waves with their set at shambhala this year and are coming back to bring their rich sounds. It's not my usual heavy dubstep feel, but rather very organic and beautiful sounding, with some of the craziest instruments you've ever seen or heard. ALSO, I have a weird obsession with ESKMO. His trippy minimal style is so unique that I hate calling it minimal, because it is so beyond minimal, he is in a league of his own. If you enjoy psychadelics, you will have your mind blown by this guys all original sets. AND, he just released an album...
Ticket:$23
November 19: Surprise SUpreme hustle and PK collab. stay tuned for details!!!!!
Friday, November 26th***NOT TO BE MISSED

BARE!
Take Excision's sound, insert some 6blocc style with a gold chain, and PHAT basslines unimagined... and you get BARE. Barestep is making a quick rise with this new sound that pounds seeeerious west coast style bass. Bare, aka Sean Rodela, hales from Los Angeles, California and gets his inspiration for dub through years of west coast hip hop and heavy hitting Drum'n'Bass. Get an insight on Bare with an exclusive squitty-bubbler interview here. :)

Twist-Master Debater *Heavy
Some heavy shit, beware the filth on this one. Torqux and Twist dueled again on a new project called X-rated EP. I couldn't post the other tune, because it is absolutely porn-ified.. haha yeah T&T have been pushing boundaries walking a fine line between filth and garbage, most of the time though they produce gold. Check out the EP here and buy the tunes if you like these dudes. They released another EP a few months ago called Hotline; it sports the Rottun Label! siiiiiiiiick!
Numbernin6-Hunt You Down *Heavy
Off the brand new EP including the monster tune Garbage! You can buy them off beatport to support the artist! Huge tunes on this one :)

Die Antwoord-Enter the Ninja(Dumbsteppaz Remix)
If you haven't heard the original of this tune, get on it! Both are great. Here is the youtube... love these "joke" tunes! I'm a NINJA!
Datsik and Flux Pavilion-Game Over
Rottun and Circus collaboration.. yeah so sick. It's kind of an oldy, but loving it lately. Check it if you haven't heard it! Has some seeeerious bass on it!
This weekend! Massive party at Millenium Park Calgary... I know right, an electronic outdoor show being funded by the city? So nuts, maybe there is hope for this city's culture! I'm playing 1120am on The Supreme Hustle stage so come out, it's free, bring your dancing shows coz I'm super jacked for this one!

Rockin like we're 17 again! Fuck yeah :) Instead of feeling like crap tomorrow.... we must all remember the fun that was Caspa and The Dub Police! Tell everyone how awesome it was instead of how terrible you feel(if in fact you feel terrible) and good feelings will come your way! Law of attraction: 8D Go forth children of dubstep and spread positive basslines!

Kids and their drugs....
Hey guys,
I would like to take a minute to discuss the mayhem that was subculture last night. One of the most hyped shows ever to come to Calgary, Subculture sold 2500 tickets. 4 stages and 2 floors of artistic glory and mega energy. That was until the party got canceled due to "public safety" concerns. From what I've heard, there was anywhere from 5-9 Overdoses or medical emergencies due to drugs and alcohol. Some say bad mdma, some say ghb... I say holy fuck. Calgarians who are so starved for rave culture finally get a massive rave to come to and they fuck it up by taking too many drugs, partying beyond their limits, and ruining it for the 2400 other people who are having a great time. This is why the cops have been shutting down raves in Calgary for years and its a shame. I don't even know what a possible solution might be, educating people on drugs? Well if they aren't the most gullable people on the planet they should be researching anything they put in their body, but I guess the easiest solution would be to educate them. Or try to at least.
So for my part, hopefully people learn something from this post:
GHB
I hate GHB, I have never done it.. so you would have a point to tell me that I don't know anything about it. But what I do know is this; it's a form of date rape drug. The dosage for recreational use is very small and can be abused very easily. So with a drug that is so volatile you wold think that people would be ultra careful. Anyways, there is the link for GHB info, read up and party RESPONSIBLY! FUCK PEOPLE! KNOW YOUR LIMITS!!!!!
Well, after all this, I bring back the positive energy of Dubstep :)
Enjoy the tunes!

The Beginning
Le Poisson Fou- The Crazy Fish
"Why the f*ck is your name le poison fool?" I have gotten this question a few times, so just for everyones knowledge, a little FYI. I used to live with roommates who had a strange love for the french language. They had picked up on the fact that I had the worst short term memory in the world, and started calling me poisson(coz fish have bad memories). "POISSON, you left shit on the stove again!" And so then poisson became my name. Fou came from when I was searching for a logo and came across crazyfish.jpeg which you can peep on my weak unused myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/poissonfous
Bar 9- The Beginning Some music while you read :)
Dubstep the Beginning:
In December of 08', I like every other zombie was hooked on Vibe 98.5 and CJAY 92.1 listening to the same shitty music over and over. I often went to punk shows to try to escape the monotony of it all. Trying to find music that made me happy, searching for something that would have meaning.
Nero-Act Like you Know One of my first dubstep faves.
Then one fateful evening my friend Dan decided to bring me to The Soda in Calgary, AB. Trill Bass and Dj Eleven were playing. I walked in maybe hearing dubstep once or twice but dismissing it as gay techno music. So I walk in this dark room with glow shit on the walls, black lights, couches, and a rather small grungy dance floor. To my left is the bar, a place I usually default to in situations such as these where I feel uncomfortable. The music was faster than anything I've ever heard and glitchy and seemed to not have a beat. I was very disoriented. A mixture of people from hippies to punks to metal heads to "normal" people or what I thought was normal, all moving in the strangest way humans had ever moved in my eyes. Almost convulsing on the dance floor moving back and forth like headbanging, but not quite, this was new. This was so new and seemed like the craziest shit I had ever witnessed.
Trill Bass- Lotus
I'm not gonna lie and say I was hooked, there was some serious drama going on that night, so I just got drunk and didn't really dance. Kinda enjoyed some of the music, but it was still annoying techno in my eyes. So Dan kept playing it around the house once and a while (I moved in with him February 2009) and I went to soda a couple more times and seemed to enjoy it the more I went. Actually went and danced and felt the music. Then February 28th, What About Bob's, CASPA. The one dubstep song that I actually knew, cockney thug. I was having some troubles with work and they wouldn't let me have that night off. So there it was, a choice. Dubstep or Work. Needless to say I never worked for them again(it's ok though it was only a doorman job).
Rusko-Cockney Thug(Caspa Remix) * Really Good *
So I take the train with twenty other people from Calgary and Red Deer, who I had never really known until that night. Drunk mob of 20 peeps terrorizing quiet people on the C-train with our antics. Walking into a bar in the NE, a quadrant of the city I had been told to stay away from, and I walk into a massive stage with mega speakers like nothing I've ever seen in such a small room(700 person capacity) with sick ass graffiti art and lighting(big ups Voltron). The hype begins. I'm dancing in a crowded room, staring up at dj Eleven as she throws out a vinyl record that hits me in the forehead. My first ever BIG dubstep show and I have a vinyl to bring home. Fuck YES! It was an EP from Nero, someone who I had no idea of at this time. Tracks: End of the World/Go Back
Nero- End of the World
So then I'm chillin over in the booths guarding my record, waiting for the dopest ghost in town to get on the decks. While I'm sitting there some young punk from kelowna was on the decks, absolutely slaying it. Turns out it was Excision. A dj who I would learn has some serious production/live performance skills. He finishes, then huge anticipation, 700 people about to lose their mind. And up walks this preppy ass brit, nice sweater and hat on... not what I expected, but nonetheless 20 minutes later I realized something about this scene: It doesn't matter what you wear, it doesn't matter what you look like, or how you dance, no one gives a fuck about sexual preference, or if someone looked at them the wrong way. I rarely saw a guy who wasn't there for the music and walked around hitting on girls ever so creepily. This scene is about people coming together to love the music, and spread good vibes to everyone around. As well as get buck nasty and show off their individual energy. I was forever changed by this experience. I bumped into a guy expecting him to be pissed off and give me trouble, I said sorry man, he responded no worries bro its CASPA!!!!!! He was actually happy that I bumped into him so that he sould express how excited he was. This is the greatest scene on earth, ego's checked at the door, no matter who you are, we're here to party and have fun. I will talk alot about this energy. Something I never knew about, positive energy and it's power. When you stand there surrounded by 700 people all moving in he same way: smiling laughing dancing hugging, and accepting of anyone who brings their own positive energy to the table(even accepting of negative people sometimes in order to spread the good vibes into them) it's really a great feeling. This is why I have never really gone to any bars or night clubs or what I thought was the party scene. I had a new family, a new home. That home is dubstep. Anyways I'm rambling on, so if you've this far sweet ems here is some free dubs for you :)
Rusko's Essential Mix 2008 I listened to this mix at least 100 times in the start of 2009 and still love every second of it.
