Hump day needs hump music, especially with Valentines just yesterday. This Dub Monk set keeps the dub exactly where it should be – in dubstep. Deep, deep, deeper than deep.

Sublight: “Rogue”
Here’s a new track – the first one for 2012. It’s pretty cinematic/soundtrack oriented, but that’s just how I was feeling this Sunday. Samples courtesy of Mr. Shakespeare.

2012: A Great Way to Go
It’s funny, because I’m going to say that this will be a year of unprecedented growth for bassmusic. And that’s funny because it has been said so many times. Through jungle, drum & bass, UKG, 2-step, breakstep, dubstep, futurebass and god knows what we’ve been used to, we’ve been enjoying a good, full bassbin for near two decades now. Where we used to be very proprietary about our particular brand of bass-enhanced music, we’re now being forced to see increased hybridization and crossover as the norm, and on the whole, it is a beautiful thing (minus brostep & fuck you Skrillex, you look like an ugly pre-teen goth girl). For me, the increased convergence of bassmusic and techno in particular has been something I’ve been watching with a hefty appetite. Two passionate styles of music with so many creative ideas brewing, and merging the two has unleashed a musical godzilla on more than one occasion of late and I’m excited to see what’s in store for us in 2012.
2012 is going to be a storming year, and I’m already seeing that in my record crate. For me, I’m going to be keeping an eye on the following artists that I think will continue to make a big splash: Randomer, Blawan, Untold, Objekt, Teeth, Kowton, Author, SCNTST, Martyn, Nightwave, 2652 and Pangaea amongst others. Equally, I’ll keep an eye on the Hemlock, Clone Basement Series, Daphne, Hessle Audio, Idle Hands and Ann Aimee labels, and I’d love to see more from Scrub a Dub, R&S and LoDubs because their output is, on the whole, amazing. Don’t get me wrong – Tempa and Tectonic are also some stalwarts to watch – their 2011 output has been consistent, just maybe not quite as inspiring on the whole. The Tri Angle label and the West Norwood Cassette Library both officially weird me out, but I’ll be seeing more of them too I hope.
Let’s go 2012 – it’s going to be wild.

Sublight: “Merry Faxmus” DJ set
And to close off the Christmas celebration, here’s a mix of nearly three hours from the master of the seasons (ambient-ly speaking), the amazing Pete Namlook and the many excellent artists on his Fax label.

Sublight: “Season of Unreason” DJ set
A cross between Christmas and politics – the events switch from the heady days of the Bush administration making the case for war in Iraq, to the innocent childhood memories of Dylan Thomas’ “A Child’s Christmas in Wales”, all tucked in cozily with an ambient sound track of DJ tracks and scored music & samples. [free jungle set at the end!]

Sublight: “Merry Friggin’ Christmas” DJ set
Since it’s Christmas, we’ll take a short break from the bassmusic to bring you some (warning: very cheesy) seasonal tunes. Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday with their family and friends. We’ll be catching you up on some new bassmusic in the new year!
