The Sessions Are Subliminal. Tomorrow, 10.7.09, at the E-Room.

So after months and months of special guests filling the hole in the hearts of the subliminal dudes left by the absence of the hometown homeboy, professor pious… the mighty professor returns!

This should only add to the momentum the subliminal dudes have been building in recent weeks, with the launch of projects like Links Soundclash, Boston’s local producer showcase; and LOSTINBASS.com, a site focused on bringing new sounds to the city and bringing the bass scene together… not to mention Stickem’s (for now) top secret collaborations that should make waves. (run-on sentences are awesome, amirite?)

Need I mention dabu and dsub’s fiery opening sets at Bassic opening for Mochipet? No, probably not. You were there anyways, right? No? Oh, bummer. I know you needed to hear that Juan Mclean tune for the 7th time that week.

So, slightly less wordy summary:

dabu.dsub.professorpious.stickem bring you the best in under the radar hiphop.glitchhop.wonky.skwee.dubstep and original productions, ‘natch.

Subliminal Sessions: Cacheflowe and residents, Enormous Room, 7.29.09

We're goddamn beyond excited to have our first out of town guest on Wednesday July 29th - Ca¢heflowe!!!

Mashing up idm, hip hop, funk, drum and bass, trip hop, experimental, jazz, techno, and dubstep, CacheFlowe creates genre-skewing electronic music that has received much acclaim from local and international press. Producing with a computer since 1996, he's honed an original style that's defined by stuttery, complex breakbeats, deep analog basslines, techno-flavored synths, organic instrumentation and contorted samples. Working on the same laptop performance since early 2004, CacheFlowe's live show is a fast-paced smorgasbord of chopped breakbeats and analog synths on 8 channels of audio. He bobs and weaves through an array of electronic genres and tempos, using nothing but sounds and loops from his own productions. Appearing on official record label releases alongside the likes of Twine, Ladytron, Daedelus, Ulrich Schnauss, Starkey, Machinedrum, ISAN, Submerged, Fog, and sharing the stage with Amon Tobin, edIT, Machinedrum, Dizzee Rascal, Mochipet, Jeff Parker (Tortoise), DJ Olive (MMW, Sonic Youth), Nels Cline (Wilco), Filastine, Nick Argon, pH10, and countless local talents, CacheFlowe continues to freak the beat in new and exciting ways.

Subliminal Sessions tonight 6.30- DJ Whatever & Residents, Enormous Room

Come celebrate the first six months of Subliminal Sessions as ourbrother in arms, DJ WHATEVER aka Alex from BlueBoy Productions comes by for a solo DJ Set.

Blue Boy Productions aka BBP is Alex Russo and Chris Narainen. They have been building a following on both sides of the river at a rapid pace throughout 2009 with off the cuff (and off the chain!) performances at Beat Research, upstairs at the Middle Eastwith BioDiesel, at that "undisclosed location" in Allston and with the SubRoots collective. An 'average' performance will see BBP shift from trance to drum and bass to dubstep over the course of a few short bars.

Alex's solo DJ sets fit in perfectly with the Subliminal concept: effortless tempo and genre jumping, playing to the crowd in front of him without pandering, with a firm grip on 'cool'.

Also of note... BBP will be bringing 'sound reinforcement' to ensure you shake your ass.

Tonight at Enormous Room!

Bassic 2 year anniversary- 6.24.09 @ Goodlife, featuring Starkey!

It's crazy to think that just a little over two years ago, dubstep music was still at the point where it was considered a very obscure form of music that most had either never been exposed to or had acquired a taste for. This was mainly because there weren't many events (if any) that were happening at the time that focused on this music, or any venue that had a proper sound system to even cater to the sound in the first place. This was certainly not an exclusive problem in Boston, it was common in cities across the U.S. and since 2007, many promoters such as the BASSIC crew took it upon themselves to step up their game and host events that focused specifically on the dubstep sound which helped it garnish the exposure it has today. In just two years dubstep has become one of the most popular and quickly growing forms of dance music out there. Definitely interesting seeing how dubstep has completely converted many fans originally involved in drum & bass, breaks, garage, bassline house, and techno! 

So next wednesday Bassic will be celebrating their second anniversary, and what better way to do it than to bring guest DJ Starkey from Philly up. Starkey has been on the up and up lately, getting several tracks released to high profile experimental label Planet Mu, along with getting to remix tracks for Armand Van Helden and Pacheko. For a taste of his sound, check out his Mary Anne Hobbs mini mix below and a link to some of his cuts you can cop off Beatport below that.

BASSIC crew warming things up! Next wednesday at the goodlife.

Subliminal Sessions @ Enormous Room, tonight!

A little late on this one, but if you're in the cambridge area tonight check out Subliminal Sessions. Hosted by Professor Pious, dSub, Dabu & Stickem, they dish out a nice concoction of experimental and hip hop music with a nice dubstep reduction sauce (sorry that was the worst metaphor ever written haha). Kat Fyte runs with the Pop Influence crew and they have a nice blog online where you can check out some of their work, check out the Bass Kitten mix here! Tonight at the Enormous Room.

Rise afterhours, Orchard Lounge & Bassic Crew! 4.10.09

The Bassic crew has a busy month this April, they've got a night happening at Rise on April 10th, followed by Kode 9 at Goodlife the following week. Orchard Lounge is a group of dj's from chicago who are well known for playing everything across the board, from funk to hip hop to house, because they know that boxing themselves into just one sub-genre of music is so 1990s and just isn't that much fun at the end of the day! With their experience as supporting acts for both DJ's as well as bands (such as the Disco Biscuits) alike, they have the experience of playing to diverse crowds with different backgrounds under their belt. 

You can stream Orchard Lounge's mixes here. And subscribe to their podcast here.

Check out Orchard Lounge opening for the Disco Biscuits:
