Rob Sparx – free promo mix

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

trooper sml

Rob Sparx is a pretty chill dude. We ran into him at Dub City a few months back, and had quick little chat about his upcoming album, Amsterdam, and such. Not long, but enough to realize the guy was level headed and serious about his music. He’s been in the game for a while, and is now finally getting around to releasing his album : Trooper. We reviewed it in our last issue – so go read that if you haven’t already. In order to promote it a bit, Sparx has just put out a cool little mix with mainly his tunes & remixes. Check it out for taste of whats on the album.

Incubate Festival – big dubstep names!

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

This looks siiick! Tilburg is doing a lot lately, and next up on their party agenda is this Generation Bass event (part of the Incubate Festival). The programming is tight, with plenty of Dubstep, UK Funky, and Bassline acts in the lineup. On Friday, the acts include Joker, Reso (him and Joker alone is enough to bring down the house, but of course there’s more), Filastine, & A1 Bassline. Saturday has our fave UK Funky chick Cooly G showing up, along with Mad Professer, Shackleton, & Schlachtofbronx. Sunday is probably the tamest day of all, with Mark Ernestus from Rhythm & Sound showing up with MC cohort Tikiman.

But thats just Generation Bass – Incubate has a ton of more stuff going on too. Noteworthy for us is our Rotterdam homies the Noiz Boiz are taking the stage on Thursday @ v39 along with Tilburg residents (and fellow NL Grime posse) Boef & de Gelogeerde Aap.  So all in all, this festival will expose you to a wide range of talented bass handlers and artisans – check it out or miss out.

On top of that: we from Brrrap! are able to save you E 27,50 on a weekend ticket and thus able to put you on the guestlist. That is.. if you are able to tell us why we should do that. Tell us on info@brrrap.com, winners will be picked and informed by friday.
