If you like WOBBLY BASS BANGERS...

He is a legend in his own country, and now Rico Tubbs is definitely gathering a following in New England. The Finnish producer and DJ really started getting played here last summer/fall through the likes of Boston fave B.Rich and other acts from the Northeast (AC Slater, Udachi and crew). His work reflects his taste, with lots of 80's claps and break beat breaks. Most intriguing, though, are the NASTY bass lines that highlight nearly all of his tracks. Take a listen for yourselves:

Rico Tubbs - Boom Riddim


Rico Tubbs - Hip Rave Anthem (Original Mix)


Rico Tubbs - I Like It Raw


Tubbs, aka DJ Infekto, was voted Best Electronic Music DJ in Finland in 2006 and again in 2007, and has had a long history of music production going back to the early 90's on devices like the Amiga. His production skills continued to progress as he collaborated to create Finland's first hiphop record with the Skillsters, and was a part of the internationally reknowned Bomfunk MCs. In case you don't remember:


Bomfunk MCs - Freestyler

He continued producing under DJ Infekto (and still plans to release some more downtempo tracks under that Moniker), however his newest alias, Rico Tubbs, is beginning to take over. Keeping in constant production-contact with sweet popular acts like Hervé, Heavyfeet, the Trouble & Bass crew, Party Like Us, Tubbs is sure to keep killing the club floors and providing inspiration to other like-minded dance-floor-shaker-beat-makers!

Rico Tubbs - Born To Bounce (Supra1 Remix)

Artist of the Day: B.Rich

As far as I know, B.Rich is the most successful electro-house/dubstep DJ on the Boston scene at the moment. He's got credible artists like HeavyFeet, 2 Bit Thugs, SLUTTT and AC Slater remixing his originals, while he's also providing some pretty worthy remixes himself for Knowlton Walsh, Raffertie, Aniki and Bryan Cox - taaaaaa name a few. And his live sets are certainly not lacking. Last time I saw him was opening up for The Bloody Beetroots here in Bostonia.

Aside: Check out this promo video for The Bloody Beetroots' track 'Warp' on Dim Mak - the footage is from the Boston show


Sadly, just as I was getting into B.Rich's original tracks and remixes, he is packing up and moving out of town, probably to much bigger and better things. I take this as a sign that he is going to settle down and produce produce produce.

So I want to share a few tracks witcha, just in case he happens to be swinging through your taint of the woods anytime soon.

B.Rich - Ain't Here To Party [feat. Whiskey Pete]

This track is from the new Ain't Here to Party EP released last month on Palms Out Sounds - definitely grab this fine specimen on beatport.

B.Rich - Everyday Hustle

This lil doozy hit the public in March I believe on the self-titled release with A New Hope Records.

B.Rich - Everyday Hustle [AC Slater remix]

Here's a remix of Everyday Hustle, which is nearing beatport's #1 spot for overall downloads this year. Probably just an easy ticket to a World Tour, that's all. This track is absolutely ill.

AC Slater - BanGer [B.Rich remix]

And this is one of B.Rich's first official stabs at dubstep, returning the favor for AC Slater on his BanGer release with Party Like Us Records.


Keep an eye out for more B.Rich, hear you me.
