Freq Nasty: 1000 Buddhas of the Pureland of Bass [Mixtape]

From URB:

Missed Burning Man this year? Then you might not know which direction bass music is headed. For while the Skrillex’s of the world are currently reaping the rewards, UK/LA producer Freq Nasty has been at the forefront of all things 'step' for two decades. And with the SoCal yoga-raver scene as his incubator (check out Dub Kirtan Allstars) Freq continues to innovate, assuring that the mutant sound of wobbly low-end continues to move forward.

'1000 Buddhas Of The Pureland Of Bass' comes from FN’s latest release, 'Low Frequency Pureland EP', and gives an enlightened idea of where his sub-bass muse is headed. In his own words: 'My modus operandi has always been -’look which way the crowd is moving and run in the opposite direction.'

Live From The Control Room Beat Battle [Video]

From URB:

Live from the Control Room is a Bay Area based hip hop production platform created by Quality Control Marketing and pro audio school SAE. The Live from the Control Room series includes a 16 producer beat battle, concert series, a string of music videos, and a professionally produced EP featuring the Bay Area’s top MC’s paired up with the hottest up and coming producers.

The first phase of the series was the 'Live from the Control Room' Producer Battle and concert, which took place this past September. The battle was comprised of 16 up and coming producers from the Bay Area, with the judging panel comprised of four of the top MC’s – A-Plus (Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics), Lateef the Truthspeaker (Latyrx/Quannum), Moe Green (iM/Out Crowd), and DaVinci (SWTBRDS/Thorobred). The top 4 producers from the battle then were paired with the four MC’s to record and create an EP and video series.

Stay tuned for brand new videos chronicling the recording of the official 'Live from the Control Room' EP, filmed by the one and only Casual from Hieroglyphics and Roy Miles Jr.. Look out for the EP to be released early 2012, and the final video from the winning tandem of Lambo Gott Em and A-Plus.
