Rarely it is caught on camera when something comes into your life and changes it forever. That probably sounds a lot more serious than this event was for me. But still… how many times has the moment when you became a fan of something caught on camera. Or in this case, some what caught on camera.
Recently, Ive been come a fan of DubStep. If you dont know what it is… Im not going to explain. Lets just say its something like rave or house music. But a lot more listenable. Even though, Ill fuck with some rave music. But I wont bump it on my own, or even in my car. But DubStep. Yes. I love bass. DubStep is VERY bass heavy. Its great. Its some shit you just turn up and let it rattle your immediate surroundings.
The day and moment when I became a DubStep fan just happen to be caught on camera and thank GOD for that! Some friends an I were at the New Over (The Do Over on New Years day) at Janes house, this past New Years. We got there kind of late, but I wasnt really trippin about going. Lately The Do Over had been playing Gay Indian Porn Background Music. I only went once this last summer. But since there were going to be a buncha people that knew going, fuck it. Lets roll. We get there towards the end. Around 8, and it was jumpin! They where FINALLY playing reggae and hiphop again… which is how the Do Over USED to be. But for whatever reason, they had to close it down at 10pm. So at 10, they are about to kick people out.
They are playing this old executioners (i think thats what it was) but we are still posted waiting for people to leave. But it sounded like they were going to keep it going. The crowd was cheering for an encore. But we started the process of pushing through the crowd to slide out. Then….. some song comes on I dont recognize but all these weird hippy types got all excited, I was convinced I had a good time and that it was time to roll out at that moment. So did the people I was with. If this video wasnt so dark, you could see me right by the DJ booth about to head out with a train of my friends behind me. It sounded like it was about to get really Ravey in that bitch. But then that bass line dropped in. Shout Out to @Diplo, if it wasnt for him, I wouldnt know shit about DubStep. His whole set was live anyway, but this shit here? Yea, thanks sir.
Until this VERY MOMENT, I had never heard any Dubstep anything. This shit stopped me DEAD in my tracks! I damn near didnt want to leave. This shit was beating so hard. This camera phone or whatever this is, isnt picking up the bass at all. All this different kind of music started to play I had never heard before. I got kind of excited. But I was really worried that I’d never find out the name of these songs. And the people I asked didnt know.
Luckly for me, some body took this video that I was linked to about a week or so later. I posted it to my facebook page and my diverse group of friends knew what was playing and helped me out. Particularly my dearest internet play sister Megan. She was propley rewarded with 2 million cool points for knowing what this song was. Its called Hold On (feat. Amber Coffman) (Sub Focus Remix) by Rusko. Your speaker game has to be right to appreciate the bass with most Dubstep tracks. Since I found this song, Ive gone through a few of this dude Ruskos tracks and I can say that I am a fan. Digging through the tracks on youtube and going through some itunes radio stations, I am definitely diggin the whole genre. This is my new shit. You can expect to see me posting more Dubstep music to this here blog.
Your Welcome!
