Scumcast! 10: Basswave Zero

BAH BAH BAH BUUUUMMMMMMM.... 10th Scumcast, how about that?

Oh we've come so far (only not really though). Still struggling with effective anti-marketing and the circumventing of necessary evils. Not exactly delusional about it anymore though, so I should be taking some steps to rectify that shortly...in the meantime, if you are here, thanks for listening. And again, please feel free to talk shit or say hi or whatevers. Feedback is pretty crucial for improvement/motivation/knowing what other people think about what you do.

Anyhow, the last couple Scumcast's have been pretty damn focused whereas the first couple were kind of a free for all. I enjoy both approaches so with this one I was trying to manage a best of both worlds type thing.

So this one is a dubstep mix, if you didn't notice. I've been meaning to do one for a minute and now seems as good a time as any, seeing how the genre has finally gained considerable footing outside of the UK and into slightly wider demographics. I started simply enough, but things got a bit interesting while trying to cram all the different variations of the sound into one cohesive statement. I ended up with a pretty thorough survey though, charting the heavily dub influenced stuff, the heady hypnotic strains, the rowdy floor fillers (both wif and wiffout wobbles), and my personal fave, the straight up devastating shit.

Oh...and I added a bunch of vocal snippets detailing how easy it might be to destroy the world instantly once we progress a bit further with certain technologies. Sorry bout that, kinda got inspired cause I thought McCain was gonna win when I started putting this together. But I kept it because it's still far off/out enough and I think it works well with the sound and the pacing of the mix; creates a cool little story arc, so to speak. Just know that the main narrator is one of the world's leading architects in computing and information technology, and not some internet crackpot (cough). I'd name names but I'm not so sure dude would appreciate me sorta demonstrating his point, if if only for edutainment purposes. But outside of the "PSA" framing, it's basically my best of dubstep mix that steers clear of only the most obvious hits (No Burial, No 'Night' no 'midnight request line' etc). Oh and the flow of the mix is loosely based on From Dusk Till Dawn and Pirates of the Caribbean (the actual ride, not the movies). :|

Anyway, I put a good deal of time and thought into this one, despite it clashing with my recent spike in hope regarding human destiny...so maybe think of it as a psychological thriller of sorts, relating some distant but inevitable paranoia. In the meantime, let's say we get together and try and fix all this other shit that is presently falling apart at the seams, yeah?

PS the more bass you employ, the better this sounds. thats just kinda how this stuff works ya know...play it loud.
