Hot from the blazing Don’t Go In The Water EP, Top Billin‘ member Sharkslayer is set to drop another release proving he’s the big swinging dick in a sea of little fishies.
Taken from the forthcoming EP The Great White on Real Monsters, So Sincere does your bassbins justice with an ultra low rumble, whirly filtered midrange filth and sporadic vocal snippets.

Trouble happens every time the Brooklyn-based crew of Drop The Lime, Math Head, Star Eyes and The Captain get together to throw one of their legendary, quasi-illegal parties.
Bass is everything, whether the backbone of releases on their T&B label or the driving force of their ballistic, sweat-inducing DJ sets – all timeless rhythms, unforgettable melodies, and surprise after speaker-quaking surprise.
If you’ve been missing the raw energy that made electronic music so exciting in the first place, this is where it’s been hiding.

Trouble & Bass - Mixtape for Bigshot
Picked up this remix of The Suspense Is Killing Me by Chicago based Moon Man through Grindin earlier this week and it’s had a bit of an infections effect on me. Without veering too far from the original, Moon Man touches things up with some big bottom bass and nicely edited drums. Dope.
Fresh from the success of his recent Lemon Head EP, Clark Able is back at it again with the Back In The Bronx EP on the London based imprint Jack Union. Backed with Hijack remix the EP comes correct with chunky drums big boy basslines like we’ve come to expect from Jack Union releases.
Bronx is available now at Juno and Beatport. Watch for Clark Able’s forthcoming guest mix on our new net radio show at TheHype.FM soon!
Toddla T on Fire! Fresh from the Machines Don’t Care project, Toddla gets busy adding yet another notch to his expanding and overly impressive remix catalog. Reworking Tricky’s Council Estate, Toddla joins South Rakkas Crew and Drums of Death offering up versions although T breaks the mold with something resembling a cross between Soca, Bassline and early 90’s Chicago House.
Tricky’s Council Estate is out now on Domino records.
Mmm been a while since a decent Bassline posting. After wondering around minimal land for a while, it’s loads of awesome to get stupid on some wobbly warble and bubbly beats.
New bits from Nay Nay, Wittyboy and Absurd. Wheeeeeeeeel!
Nay Nay ft Gen - Im On It Vip Mix
Nay Nay & Wittyboy - Rhubarb & Disgusted
TheHype.FM, a new net based radio station will officially launch this week and we’re delighted to be hosting a bi-weekly show!
This concept site leverages the clear relationship between taste making, music, the web and technology by programing nightly shows hosted by a selection of well respected music blogs including Discodust, Big Stereo, Red Threat, Discobelle, Electro Rash, Jacuzzi Killers and Circa 1981.
TheHype.FM is legit & fully licenced, meaning that all signed artists played on the station receive royalties each time their music is broadcasted.
In contrast to the other sites with shows, Curb Crawlers Blog is dwarfed in age, size and popularity. However, we like to think that what we lack in presence, we make up for in quality. We hope you feel the same way!
Curb Crawlers debut The Hype FM show airs live this Wednesday. Following shows will be airing every following two weeks and all shows will be available to download via Podcast.
Future confirmed guests on our show include:
Alias (Potty Mouth), Grahm Zilla (Thunderheist),
Bombaman (Lo Dubs), JakZ (Moda), St. Mandrew, Egyptrixx (Wide Records), Clark Able (Jack Union), Fistfight (Nacho Lovers), Paul Devro (Mad Decent), Nic Sarno (ESP Records), Scott Cooper and Andy George (Swine Records), Knifehandchop, and Mathhead aka Passions (Trouble and Bass).

Mark One (aka) MRK1’s older material have been the topic of more than a few iChat convos recently at CCHQ. Known primarily for his production work behind the Grime act Virus Syndicate, Mark was an undeniable influential player in the early days of post 2step Dark Garage.
In 2005, Mark One’s Lost Gold single handedly turned me on to this wild shit called Dubstep. Since that time, the music has gone through a number of mutations and (unfortunately) it seams that many people have lost touch with it’s UK Garage roots as the midrange basslines slowly take over.
The past few months show promise though. Skream’s recent B side on Tectonic is remarkably similar to his early up-beat releases on Big Apple and it seams a number of other producers are starting to re-reference that classic Dubstep sound, only now introducing elements of Techno and Electro.
Enough rambling… some classic Mark One. Edumicationz.
Oh man, I gotta say this wonky syncopated bass funk sound coming from the Martin Brothers really has to be some of the most exciting stuff in dance music for me as of late.
You can’t help but get lost in the nervous melodies and awkward rhythmic patterns as that signature hyphy 808 kicks moan in and about.
The uneasy feeling behind what Christian and Justin Martin are doing with west cost house remind me a lot of the unnatural tension felt in a lot of early dubstep tunes.
Christian Martin’s Elephant Fight EP is out on Katabatic Records now and comes backed with remixes from Justin Martin and Worthy.
Mumdance, through dancing a incredibly thin gray line between 90’s Rave, Electro, Regional and Post 2-Step Garage have been picking up a ton of attention as of late and with good reason.
Thick with 8-Bit Grime basslines and clever upbeat drum edits. Mumdance will be sure to make a mess of Fabric’s big rig next weekend. Those in the London area, be sure to make it out. A line up like this aint something to think twice about.
Radioclit - Secousse (Mumdance Remix)
Detboi, fresh from the massive success of the Machines Don’t Care project (in which he was a contributer) is set about to follow up with a 2 new EP’s in the coming months, both of which do a bang up job highlighting his unique thrash-hall sound.
Out soon on Skint records you’ll find Detboi flexing a dancehall alongside Serocee entitled Jump Up And Down.
Also this summer will see the release of Detboi and Foamo’s collaborative effort Yall Want Mo on Cheap Thrills.
Make sure to snag Detboi’s recent Mixtape linked to this post too! It’s a banger!!
Detboi ft: Serocee - Jump Up And Down
MiKiX The Cat, set to drop a slew of incredibly original productions in the coming months, his a name worth paying attention to.
By creating mixtapes for his breakdance crew early on, the 21 year old from Paris has musical influences rooted deep in old school hiphop and funk.
You wouldn’t think it after hearing his current productions though. Mikix was drawn to 4X4 type beats after playing a House event in the late 90’s. Although inspired by these uptempo sounds, his interpreted works are gritty, distorted and unpredictable (likely due to too much synth knob twiddling).
MiKiX The Cat’s fidgety hands have been hard at work as his next two releases’s (Elle A Remix EP on Eclectic and the Freeze EP on Trouble & Bass) are due out by summer’s end.
London House duo Andy George and Scott Cooper’s joint EP featuring the ragga infused jacker The Piano Man hit stores earlier this week with impeccable timing. Given that Caribana is just around the corner and literally every radio station from CBC to Proud FM is playing Soca riddims 24/7 and all.
Watch for a load of forthcoming material for these two in the months ahead on Wearhouse, Jack Union and Scott Cooper’s new self started imprint Swine Records.
The Cooper and George EP is out now on Potty Mouth Records. Buy it exclusively here, then go grab your mesh wife beater here.
Crookers - Lollypop Pulls Up The Poor (Andy George Edit)
Head over heals in love with Zombie Disco Squad’s new Trumpets and Tom Toms EP released last week. Already sold out at Phonica, I’m fighting tooth and nail snag a copy to play out in the coming days.
Luckily, there’s this recent ZDS edit of Oliver Dollar’s Mash Mellow to tide us over until we can track down our Vie fix.
Many thanks to Martin at Discobelle for Grindin this!
Sharkslayer kicks your dad’s fucking ass. I’m not really sure what else to say.. honest.
I’m absolutly loving this guys work and was delighted when we were sent a copy of his new EP entitled Don’t Go In The Water on Top Billin’ the other day.
100% bona fined facemelt 2008 realness here. Rib crushing bass, Ding Dong vocal samples and production skills that can give the best a run for their money.
Also out is Sharkslayers RMX of What I Need On Trouble And Bass. Buy it HERE
Been eagerly waiting to post this mix for a few weeks now. Not only because we think the JOTS boys kick butt, but Miska has some lovely photos in their summer 08 gallery that compliment this post wonderfully. Ottawa’s Jokers Of The Scene are lucky enough to christen the launch of Mishka NYC’s new Mix Tape project dubbed Keep Watch.
Expect top DJs from around the globe and diverse musical backgrounds in the episodes to come. Released on a semi regular basis, the mixes will be available for free download at www.mishkanyc.com’s main site, blog and iTunes podcast.
