rockthedub radio 033: Electronic AF

This week, we do things a little differently. Instead of being two hours of wall-to-wall hip-hop, we take things into more of a electronic lane. Why? Well, I'm hoping people haven't slept on the RTDMIX series that started earlier this month. Also, I've been on a grime kick.

For the first half hour, I drop in a bunch of new material, featuring Kemba, ScHoolboy Q, and Desiigner, but then dipped into more of a grime ting with Trim, The Bug, and Flowdan, before rounding things out properly. I then slapped on the new mixes from Dev79 and Reid Speed, and I want more of you to get acquainted with our other podcast series. Sue me.

When you're done suing me, subscribe to rockthedub radio on iTunes.

RTDMIX001: Dev79

Photo credit: Heather Schwartz

We've been fans of Dev79's for a bit. I feel like we first spoke via MySpace, when Dev was looking to place a refix of Nappy's on a project he was putting together. Due to our shared interests (aka insane electronic beats with a hip-hop flavor), we've been in close contact, and while I've never actually met Dev IRL, he's always been a homey.

Dev's not only one of the heads behind critically-acclaimed imprints like Seclusiasis and Slit Jockey, but himself is a talented producer and DJ. There's something about his tracks like "Smoked Salt" that always seem to hit me at first...but upon repeat listens, really develop into tunes that hit me hard and keep my finger on the rewind button. Proper "high replay value" types of cuts.

It's been about three years since I secured an exclusive mix from Dev, and in this 33+ minute throwdown, he goes through an intoxicating array of Street Bass bangers. Not only do a few of his own slick productions make the mix, but he also drops heat from Sh?m, DJ Cable, the don Starkey, Conrank, El Carnicero, and many more. If you like your electronic beats with a tinge of hip-hop swagger, this is the mix you need.

You can stream this mix below, and if you're so inclined, subscribe to the podcast. This is only the beginning.

Dev79 Presents Street Bass Bootlegs 2

This is what it sounds like when worlds collide. Philly's own Dev79 and the Seclusiasis crew (featuring Starkey, Shiftee, Rx, MANIKAN, Siyoung, Knight Riderz and more) link up for their latest Street Bass compilation. Remixes of cats like Future, 50 Cent, Lil Scrappy, Pimp C and more alongside fresh originals. Starkey's "Watching" is the one, trust.

Word is that this compilation (which features new cuts from Dev79, Starkey and MANIKAN, with refixes of Future, 50 Cent, Pimp C, Lil Scrappy, Lil Wayne and others by these cats alongside Knight Riders, Rx & Shiftee, Dr. Ew and plenty more) will be dropping via ClubTapes on July 2nd.

Street Bass Anthems, Vol. 5

Dev79 and the good folks at Seclusiasis have pre-orders for Street Bass Anthems Vol. 5 going right now, and they have a dope product on hand. Not only is this the release that houses Elucid & Nappy's "You Ain't Even Know", there's also dope material from Dev, Starkey, El Carnicero, DNAEBEATS, Bass Science, Rx & Shiftee, Knight Riderz, MANIKAN and more! Thing is, this one isn't dropping on CD. Limited to 75, they've got some fly 2GB USB wristband drives with this project (17 WAV tracks in total), Street Bass Bootlegs, Vol. 2 (15 WAV tracks), Street Bass wallpaper and a fucking dope-ass, yellow wristband USB with the words STREET BASS on it.

This is going for $10 (plus $5 postage anywhere within the US) - if you want to pre-order, hit them up via PayPal! If you're copping this internationally, hit them via e-mail so they can figure out shipping costs. Pre-orders are a must, with an ideal date of May 28th as the shipping date. Hit the jump for the full tracklist (with some previews). And if you're in the Philly area on June 1st, you should hit the release party, which will feature live performances from the compilation and plenty more! Nice one, Seclusiasis!

DNAEBEATS ft. Psalm One & Mistah FAB "Let Me Hit That"

DNAEBEATS ft. Psalm One & Mistah FAB "Let Me Hit That": Weird – I had no idea DNAEBEATS has worked with cats like GM Grimm, Gift of Gab and Quannum. On some shit that I wish I could make happen, DNAEBEATS’ “Disko Blunt”, which was found on the Seclusiasis releae Secrets Worth Dying For has been vocaled by FAB and Psalm One. Some sly funk right here (slunk?), and provides a dope electro-tinged weed anthem for you spaceraiders out there. This is on a two-track single that exclusively dropped via Beatport on the 27th of June , and on July 3rd, word is the Secret release part will be in Philly, with DNAEBEATS, Dev79 and more. Lemme hit that slunk!

Dev79 - HOODLUM x rockthedub Mix

Special, exclusive mix that I've inadvertently held on to for too long. Dev79 is known as a man who puts in work - whether it's his myriad of duties for premier Bass Music imprints Seclusiasis and Slit Jockey, a demanding DJ schedule, or working on his own production work, homey puts it down for the Philly scene, for the world wide scene. Before he drops the 18-track Street Bass Bootlegs compilation on Saturday (which features cuts and refixes from the likes of Knight Riderz, 6Blocc, BD1882, Down Jones, Proper Villains and more) - which is a proper lead in to the Street Bass Anthems Vol. 5 release in August, here's a dope 20 minute rideout from Dev, exclusive to RTD and HOODLUM. Fuck with this, wait for the Street Bass Bootlegs on Saturday, and figure out what the fuck you're doing with your life.
