Most weeks at TRAMP! I’d put pressure on Will & James to play tunes that I could see they didn’t really want to play, but I wanted to hear on a big system. It’s also quite funny seeing people try and dance to ‘half-time’ music which most people usually just nod their heads to.

Dubstep is primarily a male, London-based genre DJd by guys using turntables. However; It’s not just a male affair and there are mini-scenes flourishing all over the globe, including a healthy one is North America. I discovered a lot of new music through DJ Shiva’s mixes on dubstep.fm , a female Ableton-using DJ from Indianapolis.

Here’s a track by Calgary-based producers Lurk & Gully which I re-edited in an attempt to make a bit more banging and club-friendly. It got fairly regular airplay at TRAMP! (without pressure from me!) and is featured in a couple of mixes which I’m sure will get posted here at some point.
