How To Dubstep Like a Parrot

The QuNeo

If 2012 is our last year on Earth, well it looks like its gonna be a damn good year. With NAMM came a whole boat load of new gear in many shapes and sizes, one of the most notable new units was the QuNeo OSC/MIDI controller from Keith McMillen Instruments. It started as a Kickstarter campaign and quickly gained international recognition and support from major artists and producers including Matt Black (Coldcut, NinjaTune), ill.Gates, and Thavius Beck, as a revolutionary new controller. They went for $200 USD on Kickstarter, and boy was that a steal. Considering the functionality of this thing, the size, the planning and pre-production, support, etc. And my god, just look at how sexy the freakin' thing is!

Skream - Nefariousa (Scion AV - OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Skream back with a bang! After a slight hiatus Skream delivers this banger with that classic dark and deep dubstep feel. On that note I would like to mention, for those who don't know, Skream's influence on the genre from back in the days of Skream and Benga, Mala and Coki, Loefah, Scuba, Distance, Luke Envoy and many others. The early days, this track really brings that old skool vibe back into the present with a fresher twist. Go Skream!

Moombahton

I've been listening to these songs over and over for like three days now, I dont know it just gets me. It's an upcoming genre called Moombahton. It's basically a 128-130bpm house beat slowed to around 108-110bpm, and mixed with a reaggaeton beat. It was first made popular by Dave Nada, and has since made its way around the world, and is now being produced extensively by the likes of Diplo, Dillon Francis, and more. If you havent heard it already take a listen, I have a feeling we're all gonna hear a lot more.

araabMUZIK

Straight killin' it. Check out his new album, Electronic Dream on Amazon and iTunes.

Amon Tobin's ISAM Live

Amon Tobin is simply one of the most progressive and forward thinking artists of today. His new album "ISAM" is sonically astonishing, and this is the live experience to go with it. It debuted at Mutek in Montreal,  and went on tour in Europe, but a North American and tour is apparently in the works.

Check out more videos and see how they did it after the break.

Damn...

Let the video speak for itself...
