THE XXXL BASS SHOW - Muthafm.com

Mutha FM is an online radio station which doesn't use commercial methods like big corporate guys in suits deciding what we should listen to by pushing certain tracks in order to sell them. I call it brainwashing.

Rubadub 11 December

Last night I decided to go to Rubadub in search of some bass and that’s what I found!

Small problem though… I got pretty f*cked so I don’t remember much at all… luckily I’m smart and made some notes on my Sony Ericsson.

So this is what I took down, I will explain along the way.

I got to Mercury at 12:30, paid my 40 bucks and went straight upstairs to the main floor. Somewhere around then is where I got intoxicated.

Here are the notes I took down and what my best description of it:

1:21 lost my mind.

-         I guess that was the first thought that I managed to write down, the music was mind blowing!

1:23 nothing like live dubstep.

-         Well that’s a given, but I remember the DJs throwing down some quality stuff and I

1:31 half life mc?

-         I didn’t know who was playing as I came so late, I found out by a friend (Kyle) that it was Half-Life, he was killing us on the dance floor, could definitely hear some outboard hardware, that’s when you know the shits quality! I have no idea who the MC’s were but they were awesome, not too much and not too little.

1:34 Skism – Power

-         At one stage Half-Life dropped this familiar sounding tune which obviously was very popular amongst the crowd as they went absolutely mad for it, Kyle told me it was Skism – Power. The track didn’t really affect me the same as the others but it’s still a very good track!

1:34 shaky shit

-         For some reason I typed that during Skism – Power… So I must have been feeling that shit lol

1:38 cool easy crowd/evil music – nice air con

-         I noticed that everyone on the dance floor and surroundings were all very happy and on good terms with each other, no bad vibes at all even though the music is a mash-up of pure filth and evilness.

-         The air conditioning at mercury is perfect… I could dance all night without breaking a sweat.

1:48 Sub bass hit me hard

-         This one song had huge sub bass! {wikinote: Sub-bass is a term used to describe audible sounds below 90 Hz and extending downward to include the lowest frequency humans can hear, typically 20 Hz. Sound systems often feature one or more subwoofer loudspeakers that are dedicated solely to amplifying sounds in the sub-bass range. Sound below sub-bass is called infrasound.} I thought my organs where going to explode!!!

1:58 mc Cape Town shout-out

-         I enjoyed the “Cape Town” shout-out from one of the MC’s – they know Cape Towns the shit!! Big ups to the MC’s!

2:01 PsydStep

-         PsydStep was on next.

-         The duo Strobe1 & Storm has amazing talent and had me jumping around like a maniac!

-         Very good mixing!

2:17 and then I got more f*cked

-         Unfortunately I didn’t manage to jot down any notes after this… my bad!

I’m very disappointed at myself for missing Mix n Blend and Binary! I must have missed out on two huge sets, I will catch them on the dance floor soon though.

A video I took with my Sony Ericsson Vivas Pro

Rubadub Facebook

Mercury - Club

I was first introduced to this amazing club in late 2008 by my friend and former band member (The Manic Mischiefs - strangely enough named after Manic Mondays at Merc). Found in De Villiers Street in Zonnebloem (next to The Shack), there are a few things that make this club awesome: It’s pretty big, drinks are cheap, the vibe is cool and the sound is perfect (big ups to the sound engineers).

Homegrown – My first time at Merc and my first club DnB experience was at Homegrown. First Saturday of every month, hands down the biggest dedicated DnB party in South Africa. The hosts Animal Chin & 500 Mills have been running Homegrown since 2000 making it the longest running DnB party in SA.

RubADub – A monthly Dubstep event held at Mercury. If I remember correctly I attended one of the first Rubadubs when it was still very small and not that well supported. A couple months later I started hearing very good things about Rubadub and I decided that I should have a second go at it. IT WAS CRAZY! The DJs were ripping the place apart! I hope to see big things from them in 2011.
