(Far) East Step

Hey all, yet again trawling through Soundcloud and another gem appears :) Today it's the turn of East-Stepper Abhishek 'D1vine' Jha, a music producer who can boast of production skills at par with a lot of International and Indian artists. Complimented on his production skills by the likes of Robert Babbicz,, DJ Nihal (BBC Radio 1 UK), Bobby Friction (BBC Asian Network) and also many local talents.

His productions have been claimed to be amongst the only few Indian Dubstep/D&B productions which are taking the Indian dubstep and drum and bass music to the global level. Thanks to his widely acclaimed productions, he is now a regular feature on BBC Radio 1 and has also been featured and interviewed on BBC Asian Network representing the bass heavy music scene of the country. He also doubles up as a percussionist playing the drum kit while bringing his own style to instruments like the djembe, doumbek and conga infusing any dance music with the percussive magic.

Check out how this guy runs tings here:

Moombahton!

Hey y'all! Just in case few of you haven't heard of the music gene pool's latest creation: Moombahton. We are here to educate you!

According to Wikipedia:

Moombahton (pronounced "Moom-bah-TONE") is a genre of EDM that was created by American Dave Nada at a homecoming party for his younger cousin in Washington in the fall of 2009. The specific event that stimulated NADA's development of the Moombahton genre was his slowing the Afrojack remix of the Silvio Ecomo & DJ Chuckie song "Moombah" to 108 beats per minute. Because that tempo nears that of reggaeton, Nada created "Moombahton" by combining the title of the track "Moombah" and the "ton" ending of the word "reggaeton" and applied it to his new genre.

Also: a couple more artists to look out for at the moment in Moombahton;

Munchi: Datsik - Firepower (Munchi Moombahcore Remix)

The Kurly Hype!

This week we bring you an interview with a Lesta MC: Kurly Hypa. He has been killing the dance all over the country recently, and has even supported Caspa in Bournemouth! We asked him about how he got into MCing, what his influences are and what his plans are for 2011.

I'm kurly hypa, a 21 year old MC from Braunstone, Leicester.

I first got into mcing and writing lyrics in school, just because it was a thing that everyone did. I ran with it because I was getting better and better. My main influences would be a lot of uk hip hop people initially, Mystro, Jehst and Taskforce. Since i started taking writing grime seriously, I really admire Skepta's wit and simplicity but probably my biggest influence is Kano.

I consider myself a recording artist, and enjoy the process of writing and recording the most. I have had 4 solo mixtapes to date, I really enjoy the simplicity of recording what I want when I want. I work closely with dubstep producer Boy Kid Cloud a lot of the time and have featured on a few of his mixtapes and e.p releases. He is my tag team partner, I host a lot of his shows, and record a lot of work with him. We have had a number of bookings to date, from a residency at superfly in leicester to supporting Caspa at the O2 arena in Bournmouth. I've also worked with Subtactix from London and the Kutting Beatz crew from Loughborough.

I've got a few things coming up over the next few months, more stuff with boy kid cloud, and I'm working on a couple of different mixtapes. I'm going to try and shoot my first ever music video too for a track from my new mixtape "don dilla 3". To keep an eye on progress, add me HERE!

Kurly Hypa's new Mixtape "Don Dilla 3" can be found on his Soundcloud

Also we've got some GuGu official tings for you right here!
