Heavy stuff on Saturday at Reconstrvct, Dave Q dropping Rashad's finest. Too many people dropping out these days. He was connected to so many different people in this huge "bass music scene" and that's a testament to the person and artist he was.

RIP

I never really got into gorgon sound and what Kahn put out. But drat. Kahn is probably the most top notch artist in the dubstep scene these days. His grime influences show as well. He kills it.

He's my favorite artist by a decent margin. With Gorgon Sound, with Neek, and his own solo productions, he's been putting out the best in bass music for awhile. Plus his vocals I've heard are pretty loving incredible.

Commodo dropped this tune last weekend that I had been waiting to hear on a system.

Reconstrvct is back and comes out swinging with a huge lineup. The FB event also includes Acre, OH91, and recently, T-Man. Not going to miss this one:
http://reconstrvct.com

Massive lineup, one that Joe Nice essentially saying he has "quit" the event over. That entire situation is really ridiculous; I'll keep on enjoying incredible artists like this latest lineup who bring their own influences and unique take on this 'bass music' thing we all love, not just simply the "dub" sound (which I love to hear first and foremost, more than others) that is always represented no matter what bullshit Joe was spewing.

I started ordering vinyl and my first three purchases were all Kahn; Deep Medi 083 release as since I ID'd 'Abattoir'/heard them both on a system I knew it was absolutely essential to grab the vinyl, Bandulu 005 & the Gorgon Sound EP.

The next two purchases were SYSTEM007 (LAS - Backyard/Tic), and Peng Sound 006 with Ishan Sound's massssssive release (https://soundcloud.com/pengsound/ishan-sound-2-x-12-pengsound006-clips).

I also picked up SYSTEM007, Tic is massive. I was feeling Ishan Sound's release but it just isn't doing it enough for me to pickup the records right now. Maybe on the repress or if they stay in stock for a bit. Try checking out this sister label of WhoDemSound, you may dig it.

Also I think Joe was more keen in that interview about supporting artists based in the states compared to european artists than the whole techno thing. Well that's what I took out of it. Like why isn't EshOne on the line up?

EshOne has played Reconstrvct before, Prism has been on the billing before, other US artists I'm not remembering have played before; I mean I think that argument is bullshit too. Has Joe Nice ever given a poo poo where his dubplates are coming from? No, the music dictates what he cuts to vinyl and what he plays. It's not like he's strictly promoted US artists or any kind of poo poo like that, and Reconstrvct hasn't shied away from booking Americans. Really it comes down to Joe's ego and him having to put the event on blast through a VICE Media wing, announcing to the world he's no longer playing. Didn't even given Luke a heads up or speak about the issue, which speaks to me like some personal ego-hurt or whatever. And I disagreed with all his points/think they can be just seen as bullshit.

And yeeh always dig whatever J.Robinson is involved in.

That's the thing though; people love Reconstrvct, and Joe is Joe. Always been a super cool person to talk to whenever I've been in the same place, so the entire thing kind of just annoyed me that he pulled some weird poo poo like that.

Favorite producers right now gotta be Ago, Causa, Kahn, Sorrow, Ishan Sound.
Obviously I dig the dubbed out vibes more than anything, past like 3 years anyway.
