DZ is one of the bigger names in Dubstep, as many of you will know. But perhaps you didn't know that his track "Down" was the no.1 selling Dubstep track on Beatport last year? Many other releases have been getting worldwide recognition and even people like Herve and the duo Jack Beats are dropping his tunes on the regular. The Badman Press and Badman Digital owner has decided to let a few of his tunes out and here's my favourite of them.

Mathematics
Bless Up [RUDEEE]
Punks (DZ Remix) - Juju
Hold The Line (DZ Remix) - Major Lazer

DUBSCOVER

We've recently been affiliated with MashedUK. This new promotions company is run by three people, one being DJ Hylu who we met in this post. They have developed two new FREE nights @ Gramaphone in London: DUBSCOVER and TECHSCOVER. Their aim is to create a place where you can unwrap and discover new talent in dubstep and techno, once a month, FREE of charge!!!

The trio are teaming up with various promoters, record labels, agents, managers and companies to showcase their artists to help them gain further establishment, secure more bookings, and even discuss record releases. The uniqueness of Dubscover and Techscover is that they only focus on fresh undiscovered artists. At every event each artist has 1 hour to perform, and a further 15 minutes to help you to decide who is the best - all the audience have to do is scream and shout for their favourite. It's all about the atmosphere and the winner from each night gets some amazing rewards.

The sound system is big, fat, heavy and ready for some low frequencies!

They are launching ‘Dubscover’ on Friday 12th June and ‘Techscover’ on Friday 10th July. Then the two events will then alternate on the second Friday of every month.

Amusing news...

I have only just discovered these two but have been very impressed with the stuff they’re putting out. I came across them as they have a release called “Girls Love Bass” with a few tasty remixes which came out last month. It’s not on Beatport but can be found at all the other main ones. They seemed to have had a bit of trouble recently and here's the low down...

DAVID GUETTA BULLIES THE SQUATTERS!!
Early last week The Squatters received an urgent letter from Paris. This was not good news - big shot David Guetta had got wind of their independently run record label, Hug Me I’m Homeless. This happened when the house music enthusiast received a promo from the label through its online distribution system. Mr Guetta was not happy about the branding and name Hug Me I’m Homeless as it had a similar appearance and name to his own F*** Me I’m Famous brand. Action was then taken against The Squatters and a solicitor’s letter was issued. Mr Guetta's solicitors pointed out that Mr & Mrs Guetta were very upset about this and that if no action was taken towards changing the name, or irradiating the label, matters would be taken further.



Mr Guetta’s solicitors outlined that the Squatters had broken copyright laws by committing the following:

• the logotype used shares lots of similarities with our clients’ one, such as the same calligraphy


• the same presentation of the denomination on two different lines and with the same proportions


• the presence of an exclamation mark at the end of your denomination


• the use of three stars in place of three letters


• the use of red, black and white

As well as being accused of this, Mr Guetta's solicitor also stated that:

“We think that you are clearly taking advantage of our clients’ reputation and private rights to make undue profit, to the detriment of our clients. In fact, these dealings are constitutive of infringement of our clients’ prior trademarks, injury to our clients’ reputation and public image, unfair competition and parasitism, unjustified prejudice for our clients”.

As a response to this they have had to make all possible efforts to delete any traces of the Hug Me Im Homeless brand and have renamed their label to something that has no relevance to Guetta Events and that could not be confused with the F*** Me Im Famous brand. They have also had to publish a statement requested by Mr Guetta’s solicitors to clear up confusion between the brands:

“In order to respect the IP rights of Guetta Events, representing Cathy and David Guetta, we have changed the name of our label to POOMF! Records. Our label does not have any link with Cathy and/or David Guetta. F*** ME I’M FAMOUS is a registered trademark belonging to GUETTA EVENTS”.

The Squatters have made all efforts possible to resolve problem and apologise for any inconveniences or sleepless nights caused by their actions. All they can say now is “POOMF!!... Hug Me I’m Homeless has gone!”

Blow Ya Mind (The Squatters Remix) - Lock & Load

Everybody In The Place (The Squatters Remix) – The Prodigy

There are many other tracks available on Beatport so go get em - this is their latest:

YOUR THE SHIT GIRL

Anyone been waiting for some Dubstep?!

We all know Doorly, he's producing some huge tunes at the moment and getting a lot of attention from all the right people, including Basement Jaxx! This tune is one of the heaviest yet! I dig the original and Foamo's but this has just taken it one step further and is fuckin' large! This tune is about to go off, and you know where it is first... HERE!

London Town (Doorly's Cockney Wideboy Remix) - Man Like Me



Next we have a brand spanking new, hot off the press, track from the quickly rising stars who go by the name Nero. This tune is a along the lines of that Streets remix, more gentle than their other tunes but still tightly produced, lovely drums and soothing warm bassline. Check it.

Dressed To Digress (Nero Remix) - Boy Crisis

This has been an exciting week on the tunes front and to finish it off, we have a huge night tomorrow night. Remember all, get down to Ipswich for a night full of lovely music. I think Coki is popping in for a minute as well. And I've been told Nero are playing in Norwich a week today so get down to that too.
