Newest Import: Deadhead DJ's fresh from the UK

In case you missed the memo-Click at the legendary Paradox in Baltimore took place last night! Talk about some amazing party. Although most of the Baltimore crowd made it's way to Unity in North Carolina this past weekend, masses still managed to make it out for Click-headliner being the legendary Designer Drugs.

After a long friday night-and a late start to my Saturday afternoon, I finally made my way out round 11pm with my usual rave crew-King J4MES & Borticus included! Good vibes, open air, BB-Q's, ravetastic lights, graffiti, hoopers, and even some Avatars ;)

Opening for Designer Drugs-DJ group, Deadhead DJ's straight outta the UK. Having the opportunity to meet them, we had to ask how they were enjoying America, what they thoughtof the Baltimore rave scene and such. Intriguing really, they mentioned how in the UK dubstepis way past the norm, and they're challenge is to come up with new genres as opposed to justplain dubstep/dnb. Also mentioned, upon being flown into America and put up in a nice hotel, each was give $500 for spending money. Ah, the wonderful life of being a DJ. Check out their summer mix on the soundcloud link below and enjoy the photos!

Everybody's Starry-Eyed

Hello all, excuse my late arrival haha-me and my lovely roomate, Meira slept all day today. Pulling an all-nighter and then staying up late the next day, not exactly the smartest idea we've ever had. I was waiting on doing a daily dose of Ellie Goulding, but since Nick was on his A-game today, it would only be right to follow with a post about her, mainly because I am absolutely in love with her. Where to even begin?!

I first heard Ellie, when I was driving to Baltimore last month for FallMassive! Now for those of you who don't know(and shame on you for not-just kiddding), Steeze Promo plays host to some of the sickest dubstep raves around Baltimore/DC area. The first time I ever went to an event by Steeze Promo was with Olaf, and it completely blew my mind. The line up of music, the people, the lights, the freaking bass-everything is fit perfectly into a setting in which it makes it easy to rave out hard. And trust me when I say that I DO rave out hard. For those of you who don't mind driving an hour to enjoy a night of good music-then head to Baltimore, get to those concerts and it's the best place to discover new artists and remix's of shit we love. I am actually making a visit down to Baltimore this weekend to go to the somewhat year anniversary of DubNation! I highly recommend you go. It will be taking place at Bourbon Street, the same venue that played host to FallMassive. Bourbon has the perfect setting for concerts such as this. Anyway, I really should get back to my point-Ellie.

Ellie Goulding-hailing from England, she's new to the music world. She's got a pop voice with a touch of electropop and synthopop. What I love about her songs is that they are perfect for remixing and dubing up. So I back to what I was saying a while ago, fall massive, drive out-we got lost and we were all stressed, then just as we were getting back on point James decided that the best song to play for the moment was Starry-Eyed, but a Jakwob remix. Let me tell you, I was driving that highway to Baltimore as the happiest chick everrr. Her voice was so soothing and yet the dubstep drop beat was so overtaking! After falling in love with the remix i listened to the original, then other songs by her, and they're all amazing, but my favorites are the remix's such as what Nick blogged earlier, as well as this remix of Under the Sheets & Not Following You-the GOJ remix Although the rest of these don't compare to the Jakwob remixes, here are a few more remixes of Gouldings stuff, all dubstep/dnb:

For Starry Eyed:

1. Raider Remix

2. Starsmith Remix (this one's not REALLY dub but i like it alright)

3. Nooz Dubstep Remix (my personal favorite)

4. Dexcell Remix (this one's drumnbass)

5. The Original

Now my favorite part-here's the Jakwob remix :) Enjoy it and let the beats drop.

Down the Rabbit Hole

A year ago I was introduced to Dubstep and Drum and Bass. Now, a year later, I sit here, having been taught the ropes by Olaf and various other influences-ready to start my own little journey through the underground-and i'm gonna try to keep a blog.

My stilo has changed alot within the last year or so. Being a freshman in college, I have a sense of power, being on my own all the way up in Ithaca, NY. I came here, ready to work and party, and get out of D.C. Having just lost the love of my life, I thought I needed to escape DC/MD, thinking it had nothing to offer me, however, I traveling for these raves, I realized my home is DC and my life is underground world of dirty fucking Baltimore. And that's not to say that there hasn't been amazing music here in Ithaca-both in places such as Penn Street, and Thumpty Frat on Cornell Campus, have music that will make your face fall off.

So enjoy the music, the photos, the videos, learn a bit, GO to the concerts if you can. The undergrounds got me, i've always had it in me to be a rave girl, now i'm just ready to show it more =]

Dubstep/DnB respect-let's get started bitches xx
