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 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”.

“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.

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!

a staple of the Ottawa rave scene and nightlife community is closing its doors on January 1st of the upcoming year. a site known and loved by many for well over a decade, brought together by hard work and a love of electronic music in a ‘big city with a small town mentality’ it will be sorely missed. many a Badman met, communicated and gathered ideas and information because of XVI and its longstanding relationship between Ottawa area ravers and club-goers. the banter, the friendships, the drama, and the music shared by so many not only from Ottawa, but all over Canada and even other places around the World will never be replaced.

thank you, Graham J, from all the Badman Press family for keeping such a wonderful place to express ones-self, share music, get the latest event listings or just blow off some steam around for such a long time.

for some of the reasoning behind the decision you can check Graham J’s post here.
