Dubstep Directive - Nebula

The Dubstep Directive is back! This time with a dark, rolling episode which is sure to make your day. Well, I hope it'll hake your day!

I have to give credit to Fable for inspiring this episode's cover. If you head over to his Facebook page, you'll see this lovely picture taken from a massive nebula and star cluster. I had been struggling to find a proper name for this mix and when I saw that, I had my theme. I went to flickr, looked up some creative commons photos, and found this one of the Eagle Nebula. Credit goes to Jim Keller and a copy of the license which goes along with the photo is here.

Jim informed me that the Digitized Sky Project took the initial plates and he then balanced and mapped the three channels. Anyway, it is cool looking!

Other shouts go to Devin at Sure Fire Agency, KurrYa Hurd, and to the great Hedmuk blog where I found a couple of the songs for the podcast! Also, record labels, if you're looking for a quality produce to add to your catalogue, look no further than Zillion. He has a load of lovely, unsigned tunes just waiting to be released.

Now, onto the tracklisting!

Artists and Sounds I've been digging lately

Okay, I've needed to do another top 10, top 20, top SOMETHING for a while now...

AstreauxWorld - you've supported me to get this out...

And now here it is!

Jeeze, I don't even know how to approach this. I'm just going to give you a list of songs that I've been rocking out to lately. Some of them new, some of them a bit old, and SCREW CONTINUITY!

THIS IS MY LIST!  

MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!

 And here it goes... My list of some of my top songs (not comprehensive to SAY the least) at the moment.

Number Q - Jman & Gravity - 2 sides of the River





GOOOOOOD FREAKING HEAVENS! This song is a BANGER! I want this tune ASAP! Outs to Jman, Gravity and Pulsar for making my nights go long with this tune's repeated plays on my computer.

Number Threeve - Elizabete Balčus  -- Wooden Horse



Emotion.... this song is beautiful emotions emoted through emotional music, emotionally. WOW! I love it tremendously.

Number Omicron - Champion - Crystal Meth


Conversation I had with my wife (kinda like this), "Why's this song called 'Crystal Meth'?"
Me: "Cause the tune is catchy like Crystal Meth."

This was an insta-download when I heard it! Massive tune

Number Nucleus Maximus Percentagus - Owsey - Places We Never Went Together


Owsey... Owsey... OWSEY!!! Just a swell guy, terrific producer, and a swell guy.   If you are looking for a tune to be your intro into his style - let number nucleus maximus percentagus be your intro into his wonderful world!


Number Indigo Five Niner - Hiatus & Shura - First



See Elizabete and Owsey - combine their powers and you get Hiatus & Shura with First. WOW! Nicety to the next level!


Nunber Eleventy - Sum - Drunken Gypsy

Sum - Drunken Gypsy by Ringe Raja Records

Triple R has a banger on its hands and it's waiting to let it go. When this bomb drops, you'd better get your self out of the contamination area... or do you want to get INTO it?

Number S.O.S. - Noah D, Antiserum, and Newham Generals - Gonna Get Dark


 This is a favorite of mine to play in the car and attempt to sing along to. Why do I say attempt... Lyrics are like Movie Quotes to me... I never quite get them right.

Still enjoy the music, just can't get them right.

Enjoy the SONG!

Number Delta Blue - Swindle - Do the Jazz


I recently learned of Swindle... and I have spent a bit of cash on Swindle's tunes. This is the song which has also occupied quite a bit of my musical time. Let the Jazz over take you!


Number Fiftifity - Shifty - Etched Perspective

Shifty - Etched Perspective by __Shifty__  

 FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!  This song is FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE! I am honored to have been able to play it in my past edition of the Chilldown Period and I hope you enjoy it as well!

Number Nandos - Kahn and Neek - Percy/ Kahn - Margeaux (parts 1 & 2)




Kahn is serious! Love these tunes! massive stuff and I wish I could have gotten one of the Percy plates.


Number Thursday - EshOne - Theme Pouch

ELK004: EshOne - "Theme Pouch" - Out Now on elkbeats.com by Elk Beats  

The Elk Herd have a GRAND selection of tunes to enjoy, and this one is... makes... OKAY I'M GONNA GO BUY A POUCH NOW!!

Happy?

Number Octavius Belmont the IVth - Wild Belle - Keep You


THIS TUNE! THIS TUNE!  WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW - throw in the Barry Sax and the vocals and ... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Number Argon Sodium Hexadexaphosphotophate - 

Razor Rekta - LokoMotive 


Proxima - Grunge 



SP:MC & LX One - Hunted



Matt-U - Uncontrolled



Oh, and like you need to ask why I like these songs?


Number Orion - Mr. Vandal - Jelly


 
This song, when I first heard it, almost made me go crossed eyed from how AWESOME it is! Now I want a Peanut Butter, Nutella and Jelly sandwich.

Number Solitaire High Score - Kid Kong - Harsh Frequency



Harsh Frequency (Mix 2) by Kid Kong (Edit Alliance)

DO NOT SLEEP ON THE KID! KID KONG SMASHES with his tunes! OH - wow, the bass on this tune is, well, MASSIVE! His Trap influx on this tune is  FANTASTIC!

There are so many more (see Ermin) that I can share for a top list. This is just an intro to what I'm listening to lately. I hope you enjoy!

(and please forgive my lame attempts at being funny)

Chilldown Period - Episode 40 Ichigo Ichie

B Tal (Brain Talbot) took the picture to your left and has it under a Creative Commons license. When I saw it, it was PERFECT for this episode of the Chilldown Period. I used a photo from Kanji Symbols' blogsite for the symbol for Ichigo Ichie (), and if you want to look more into what the phrase means, head over to Wikipedia for more information. The book where I found the phrase for this episode of the Chilldown Period is called "The Meaning of Tingo", and you can find it at Amazon.

Whew! That's just the side notes! Special Thanks to everyone for their help in making this podcast possible, and thanks to you for listening as well.

I did make a mistake in using the word amalgmation, when I should have said amalgamation. I also missaid Heather Findlay's name as Feather Hindlay. If there are any other mistakes, just leave their corrections in the comments or send me an email and I'll try to correct them ASAP.

Now - TO THE TRACKLISTING!
