Volume 2 of Betamorph Recordings‘ effort to aid Haiti is available now on Digital-Tunes with a track by Badman Press’ very own RedEyz, alongside a lot of other great artists like Megalodon, Hellfire Machina, Richie August, and a lot more. check it, here.
Shift Music steps back up to the plate; this time with a full-length album
project from Canadian Badman Press heavyweights: The Fix.
Their greatly anticipated “Blair Road Project” is set to look the drum & bass
world straight in the face and remind us all what this music is meant to do:
Come straight from the underground, and rip dance floors and soundsystems
apart in the process.
From the lead cut, “The Blair Road Project“, to the absolutely monstrous
“Enemies” – drum & bass music doesn’t come any rougher than this!
Serious beats and bass for the most hardened break headz. The Fix also
delivers the goods for the deeper ‘floors with “It’s You” and “Machu Picchu“;
giving you something for your mind as well as for your feet.
Never too shy to mix things up, TheFix collaborate with long-time crew
member Counterweight on the dark & dubby “Pipeline“, and the steppin’
“Smothered“, as well as with Shift Music label boss Generic on the merciless “Kingston“.
As further proof of the appeal and range of this album project, The Fix have
received dubplate support from radio and club DJs across the board, including
Fabio, Digital, Loxy, Dieselboy, Flight, A Sides and more…
The Fix & Shift Music: Back in gear for 2010.

First off, bless up to everyone who took the time to enter the comp & submitted a remix – we had a really hard time picking a bonafide winner let alone winnerS. This is definitely something that will be happening more often that’s for sure! We’ve been going through the entries not just listening to how the tracks are built/mixed, but how they will sound with a good mastering as well. In saying that, we have decided to put out an EP’s worth that will be coupled ‘longside an EP of various other Badman remixes, an(other!) LP of sorts. We were really happy with the variety in the rmxs, and felt these 6 deserved their own EP, in no particular order:
- Three Legga Larry rmx
- Brent Stil Life & Thunder St. Clair rmx
- Disco Nutter SMASH IT! rmx
- SubFreq rmx
- Tony Rocky Horror rmx
- Roland rmx
I will be getting in touch with everyone who entered via e-mail to sort all the shiz out asap, and from all of us at Badman Press, thank you for taking part and really hope you do so again for the next one!!!

I always try to keep an eye out for mentions of Badman Press artists in other blogs … looks like this week I stumbled across Squeegie blog’s favorites of 2009. Thx to “Brookah” for listing “Crookers – Business Man (feat. Wiley & Thomas Jules) (DZ Remix)” at number 5 on his “Top 10 remixes of the year” and to “Orpheus” listing it at #4. Out to “Rodan” w/ DZ as an honorable mention for favorite artist of 2009. Check out their blog post here: http://squeegiesounds.com/2009/12/our-favourites-of-2009/
Ok, next we head over to “BWOMP BEATS!” blog where they interview artist “Akira Kiteshi” and offer up his remix of DZ’s Just Rollin’ for download. Check out the BWOMP BEATS post!
That about wraps up my findings – but in the mean time don’t forget to check out the details on the latest Badman Press release.
Have a good! safe! weekend!

The North American bass dub slinger DZ is no stranger to dance floors worldwide with his tunes being played by the likes of Rusko, Diplo, Herve, the Crookers, MRK1, Hank Shocklee and Starkey, and with all the blog releases and freebies as of late probably hundreds of up and coming dj’s around the globe. Definitely among the most influential and widely recognized dubstep artists in North America, DZ has made his name with an almost robot-like consistency of quality productions and releases on a variety of labels internationally, as well as higher profile remixes for the likes of Jokers of the Scene, The Crookers, Wu-tang Clan, Major Lazer and Gucci Mane. With the release of his first full length LP “The Proliferation Sequence”, a massive 26 tune offering split into two parts, DZ is about to strengthen the claim that he just may be the most prolific dubstep artist in North America yet.
PART I: AVAILABLE NOW EXCLUSIVELY ON BEATPORT!
PART II: AVAILABLE NOW EXCLUSIVELY ON BEATPORT!
“The Proliferation Sequence” has been a long time in the making – some of the tracks featured have been exclusive dubs for almost 2 years – what better time than now for these gems to have their day! “Part One” features underground anthems in “Juxta”, “Amped”, “Machinery” with it’s now classic DZ metallic filter swipes up & front, “The Jump Off” and the wall shaking “Starchaser” that are offered up alongside the deeper, minimalistic sounds of “Bounty Love” and “No Gunman”, the slight homage to the classic Sega game “Outrun”, Lil’ Jon lends a wail or two on the stripped down electro wobbler “Shake That” and the air-raid themed call to the dance floor in the militant “Head Cold”.

Download “Killin’ em Softly”
Download “Head Cold”
“Part Two” is where we hear DZ’s sound mature as he takes us on a ride over 13 tracks of bass heavy delicacies, expanding on his abilities of letting sounds mesh & breathe in new ways with each song. The LP begins with the beautiful nu jazz stylings of “Serenity Now” with its lush brass riffs and sharp rolling drums, then keeps the chill vibes going with the vocal tinged “I Love You”, then comes what can only be ‘like falling into a trance & wanting to kill the Malaysian prime-minister’ in “Mugatu” with its droning downward lfo work. “2 Da 4” is a Benga inspired roller with Dizzee Rascal number chants used wittily throughout, “Synthay”, “Chalet” & “Fuster Cluck” utilize unique sounds & structures to push the vibes along nicely, and on the collaboration piece “Content” with newcomer Posted the duo delves into heavy, heavy sub territory laced with melancholic piano licks and distorted guitar wails. Tracks like “Stupid Crunk”, “Tighten Up”, “Quake 89” and “Hearing Things” are all driving, darker pieces that we have come to expect from DZ over the last year, and they make for a great increase of pace as the LP gears towards the finish line.

Much, much love to everyone I have met along the way who get what I am trying to do, to build, and to represent – none of this would be possible without your help. Thank you. -> Dizzl
I recently wrapped up a mix which has a handful of tasty gems from forthcoming Badman Press releases. Facing the end of a work week – I was cruising about my favorite blogs and saw that the lovely folks at Bassmusicblog had posted my mix. You can head over there to learn about the state bat of Virginia, scope out other posts … and also peep my mix. View the Bassmusicblog post.
I thought posting the tracklisting and a link to the mix here would also be appropriate!
