Native Instruments - MASSIVE THREAT

Check out this new collection of MASSIVE sounds brought to you by the great innovative minds at NI. Massive Threat is a KORE powered group of flexible sounds taken (and slightly adjusted) from the MASSIVE softsynth. NI knows where our hearts lie, so they provided some examples of the sounds from established artists Digital Mystikz (Mala & Coki), and also commissioned a more electro-acoustic approach by mimicking an old Iannis Xenakis piece!

Artist of the Day: RAMADANMAN

Ramadanman will be in Boston in 2 days! Bassic booked him at Good Life down in da Chinatownz, and it couldn't be better timing. Not only is it FINALLY a weekend night show for some excellent dubstep, but Good Life has just recently renovated their space. I can't wait to see the new layout - I'm sure it will be magical.

Ramadanman comes from North London, and has just finished up university in Leeds. After seeing Mala (of Digital Mystikz fame) at London's #1 Dubstep night FWD>> (at Plastic People) in April 2006, he whipped up a few tracks, got them mastered at Transition and released them himself online.

Since then a slew of labels have smartly released his always proper tunes, including legendary SoulJazz, Tempa, Fabric, 2ndDrop, BareDubs, ApplePips and his own label started in 2007 with college buddies Pangaea & BenUFO, Hessle Audio.


Here's a vid from his April 2009 release of Humber (Apple Pips #5):




Here's some promo mixes that you should snag as well. Chock full of amazing tunes - most of them unreleased - these mixes will definitely stand the test of time.
