Perhaps this has come up elsewhere but what's with the reggae obsession with soundboys? Taken on face value it looks like there's some kind of fatwa against them.

I'll give the Dubstepforum a look. Samdiamond: These days are flyers really representative of what's going on? I'll be in record shops regardless, so I'll be looking anyways, but would the really small-scale events bother with flyers? Those hidden gems are often the most interesting.

...and a couple more, from Bok Bok and Hissy Fit: Bok Bok - Citizens Dub Hissy Fit - Berry Enjoy! Matthew

Two new features up on the Make Some Bass production tips blog: Bok Bok - Citizens Dub Hissy Fit - Berry For those that are unfamiliar, on Make Some Bass producers talk about how they've made a track in about 300-500 words. Enjoy! Matthew

Hi all, Looks like I'll be in London from about 1st-9th of June. I used to live there in 2000-2002 and it was easy to find decent events - you just walked into a decent vinyl shop and started looking for flyers. I was back again in 2008 and noticed that there were hardly any flyers, certainly...

New on the Make Some Bass production blog: Dubbel Dutch! This week the awesome Dubbel Dutch, recently heard on an XLR8R mix and seen alongside Bok Bok and other purveyors of quality garage and funky, submits a short profile on his remix of Villalobos For Presidente...

Every time I see that name I think "Cowtown".

This one's like some kind of Basic Channel thing, but garagey: <object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fmatthewhiscock%2Fblimps-ep3"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>...

So the ketamine connection killed it? Lol. DANCE MUSIC IN DRUG USE SHOCK!

What's the deal with the word "wonky"? Did someone ruin the word for everybody? I mustn't have been reading any dance music journalism during its rise and fall.

Very possibly. Doesn't make it less annoying. You can use any number of tricks to keep people from ripping your tune that don't seem so ... crass. Shame, really, as it's a great mix aside from that. FYI, You can check it out on the BBC website until next Wednesday.

Just listening to the Roska MAH mix on the Beeb website. Anyone else annoyed with the amount of "Roska!"s that he throws in? Does he think his sound is so bland and generic that he has to constantly remind people who's playing, lest they forget? It's funny - the beginning of that mix even has...

I'm pretty sure that any legal grey area for live performance is cleared up when you play in venues that pay PRS (or ASCAP/BMI, SOCAN, etc) their yearly fee. Not sure how many venues comply, but that's why that's there. As for mixes... that's still pretty grey. If mixcloud doesn't pay...

Hi all, I've just started a production blog for that stuff that people are calling "bass music", be it dubstep, garage, uk funky or anything bass-centric at around that tempo. It's called Make Some Bass. In 300-500 words or so, producers talk about a track they've made. The first three...

I don't mind the 100meg limit, but then I'm a big fan of being concise. Strange that you can't download, though.

There's a fine line, though. It's true that it's better, as an artist, to put as much time as possible into actually making music, but at some point you've got to take a few minutes to create a Souncloud or whatever and upload your shit, then send it to at least someone. Anyone on the...

Hi all! I'm (obviously) new around here. [hand-wavey icon] Recently I started releasing music again, after a period of not giving a shit for a few years. Since I was last doing it I find technology has changed radically. In the "olden days" (2004-2007) my stuff (the Bodega record label, now...
