The Bloody Beetroots are back, fashin out some meaty electro with their latest release, Rock Steady.
Fast passed, energetic and 100% Trashy, Rock Steady brings The Beetroots back to doing what they do best, (before they got all lost sometime around when Warp was released).
After a disappointing list of releases over the last year or two, this latest release is sure to throw the group back into the spotlight for all the right reasons.
The video feels like the trailer for some teen roadtrip/action film; Deathproof meets Sons Of Anarchy. Cars, Booze, Guns and a few stray tits flying around. I can honestly say i wish i was there for shooting this, it just looks fucking fun!
No album is set to be released, no EP either. For the moment Rock Steady is all there is. But that’s okay, If this is the way The Beetroots are heading, waiting another few months before a new release is fine, it will be worth it.

6blocc, Bel Air, Benga, Caspa, Dub Police, Dubstep, Fat Boy Ep, Filth Collins
Sydney hardman Filth Collins is set to release his latest outing, the Fat Boy EP through Caspa’s lable Dub Police.
With a strong grounding in the now waning sydney drum and bass scene and non stop touring as a dj has led to Filth Collins becoming one of the most revered and we talked about dubstep producers in Australia.
After sensational success with his previous release, the Levels Ep, Filth Collins has almost reinvented his sound, producing much heavier and darker tracks.
Relying less on uplifting melodies and more on moody ambient synths backed by slow bass-heavy drops reminiscent of Benga, 6blocc or Caspa.
As a whole, the ep is tight, superbly produced and behoves you to get up and move.
The Fat Boy EP launch party will be held on the 4th of July at Bel Air with Support coming from locals Crysist and Everto as well as a host of local talent.

Axwell, Dutch House, Electro, Madison Square Garden, Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello, Swedish House Mafia
The monumental dance electro house artists who brought us hits like One and Save The World have finally called it a day.
After the final leg of the 2012 which will announced in August, Angelo, Ingrosso and Axwell will part ways as Swedish House Mafia.
No announcement was made from the group as to why the break up, just a simple thank you to fans.
“We want to thank every single one of you who came on this journey. We came, we raved, we loved.”
With numerous accolades under their belt, most importantly selling out Madison Square Garden in under 11 Minutes, Swedish House Mafia have undoubtedly made one of the most important impacts on dance music today, influencing producers from all genres and brining Electro/Dutch house to the masses.
This may mark a sad day for fans of Electro/Dutch house but the closure of a group this size does not mean the end of the individual artists who stood as three of the most important and influential artists in today’s house music scene, a position which is sure to be held long after the breakup of Swedish House Mafia.
It will be interesting to see where each of these three titans goes and who will the next super group of the electro world be.

Drum & Bass, Electro, Knife Party, Pendulum, Rob Swire, Slam, Triple J
Recently Rob Swire of Knife Party informed Tripple J that he and band mate Gareth McGrillen are saying goodbye to Pendulum for good.
For those of you who were unaware, Knife Party formed in mid 2011 as a duo between Pendulum members Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen. after their debute performance in August 2011 in Ibiza, Knife Party have shot to unparalled success within the dance scene.
Swire commented on the success of Knife Party and not wishing to continue Pendulum, saying “The Knife Party thing is going so well we don’t really feel like going back to junior school anytime soon” (http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/musicnews/s3526471.htm)
In one respect, this is sad news for Pendulum fans who will no longer have the chance to see Pendulum perform again. But All good things msut come to an end and considering the drum and bass scene is not as strong as it was 10 years ago when Pendulum rose to international fame, it is only natural that Rob and Gareth move with the times and continue producing music relevant to the current market needs.
Swire commented on this market change, stating that “it was time for something new and the music scene itself had changed”
In closing, lets have a moments silence and appreciate one of the greatest tracks Pendulum ever produced, Slam.

Amon Tobin, Dance, Download, Drum n Bass, Dubstep, Electro, Festival, Glitch, ISAM, Sydney Opera House, Two Fingers, Vivid 2012
Following sold out tours across Europe and North America, Amon Tobin’s audiovisual spectacle ISAM came to Sydney Opera House last saturday and unfortunately, like many i missed out on his performance as part of Vivid 2012.
Thankfully, the nice folks at vivid provided us with a live stream of the entire show via youtube.
In collaboration V Squared Labs and Leviathan, the Brazilian born producer has constructed a custom-built 25ft, 3 ton cubic installation, acting as a morphing multidimensional screen creating a visual performance that is second to none. Even viewing this performance on youtube can only be described as awesome.
Sadly no video rip of the performance has surfaced but a two part audio stream is available which i strongly suggest you all check out while we cross our fingers and hope a video rip will be released.
Even if you are not a fan of Glitch, Dubstep, Breaks or Drum N Bass, it is nearly impossible to not appreciate the skill and genius that has gone into both the music and visual performance that was ISAM.
If you want a hd rip of Amon Tobin performing ISAM:

What So Not, a collaboration between Sydney boys Flume and Emoh Instead have been pumping out some Grade A remixes of late, none better than their remix of Van She’s latest single The Idea Of Happiness.
What So Not’s début ep was well received, earning a good workout from both Tripple J and FBI radio.
With support from some of the biggest names in dance music today, What So Not are surely set for bigger and better things.
