It is very, very rare that you will see me posting anyone else’s fliers on here besides DA family. Trouble + Bass is extended family tree though and I am just personally excited about this event. I am a big big fan of Dexplicit‘s Bassline/Niche House output in the past few years, bringing the energy and colors of grime into a 4×4 format.  If you are in NYC you are a FOOL to miss this.  I also have no qualms promoting this because Dex himself is such a nice friendly dude.  We’ve only spoken over the internet but his niceness comes through.  I like people like that and want them to win.  The world is so full of assholes, the people who aren’t deserve singling out.

Also check /Ruptures WFMU radio show Jan. 23rd for an exclusive mix by Dexplicit full up with unreleased dubs, as well as (I think) an interview.

Russel Simmons, Gary Foster, Kelly Rae & 77Klash

Big up to 77Klash on his recent performance at the Upliftment Jamaica Charity event. Among the newly won believers in the audience was one Russel Simmons who told Klash he was feeling the set, pictured above along with Kelly Rae, Gary Foster and 77Klash (from L to R). One of the standout cuts from the set was a new tune by Klash and myself (Matt Shadetek) featuring Johnny Osborn, called Mad Again. Watch out for that on the forthcoming Iron Shirt street album, a collaborative release on Dutty Artz and Klash City Records.
