DATSIK
If you don’t know Datsik by now, you best be learning. Datsik has been taking the dubstep scene by storm, blowing up dance floors around the globe with his original style of hip-hop future-tech bangers. In 2009 alone, Datsik had over 7 number one releases on Beatport, and vinyl sales through the roof on many other sites such as Chemical Records, Red-Eye and Juno. Aside from that, he has also done remixes for some of the biggest names in the scene such as the Crystal Method, Freestylers, Bassnectar, Noisia, Diplo, the Wu-tang Clan, and Apex from the critically acclaimed Lifted Music label; not to mention countless collaborations with some of the hottest producers in the scene. With multiple anthems under his belt, countless plays from some of the biggest DJ’s, and an endless perseverance to reach that next step, Datsik has proven himself to be one of the best dubstep producers around.

VASKI
When DJ/Producer Vaski sent his demo to rottun manager Excision, he had no idea of the journey that he was beginning. With his first two tracks storming the beatport top ten charts, Vaski hit the studio, returning to his Electro House production roots for the massive Terror Dome EP, featuring the self-titled track as well as the hit single “You Wouldn’t Understand,” Peaking again in the top ten of dubstep on beatport. Vaski’s productions and local DJ sets began to gain attention of international promoters and DJ’st. Vaski spent the next season DJing at many Twin Cities venues, playing at the famed First Ave, Dinkytowner, and The Loft all the while working on his next work. World on Fire EP shook not only the beatport charts but the entire dubstep community. All five tracks peaked in the top 25 in dubstep on beatport, two tracks in the top ten, and the famous “Get Down” claiming its rightful place as a number one hit. This massive release rocketed Vaski to where he is today: smashing through his international tour, gaining rapid popularity for his unconventional stage presence, and continuously producing ridiculous and catchy bass lines. On the horizon for Vaski is the continuation of his tour, and his biggest production to date.

SMASH GORDAN
It’s pretty amazing that Baltimore Native Steven “SMASH” Gordon is able to find time to DJ- After all, his days are already spent running one of the most successful promotional companies in electronic music- Steez Promo, as well as being a partner in the ever-expanding worldwide bass handler, Circle Management. If that wasn’t enough, Steve also recently joined with long-time friend Damian Higgins, (Also known as Drum n’ Bass Legend Dieselboy) to form subHUMAN, a bass driven label repping bass masters such as Dieselboy, Muffler, Numbernin6, Bare, and the man himself, Mr. Smash Gordon. This label will certainly be one to watch over the next coming months and years- but you won’t have to look very hard to find subHUMAN- just check the top of the dubstep charts.

Yet even after all of this rapid activity, Mr. Gordon still finds time to step into his alter ego, Smash Gordon, to wreck the decks and clubs nationwide- and with his new “SMASH YOUR FUCKING FACE” mix, he’s done just that. You’ll hear the best Dubstep, Electro, Drum n’ Bass, and even Baltimore Club Music this side of the UK during these 78 absolutely filthy minutes- bringing true meaning to the term “multi-genre”. Filled with club bangers, classics, and the tunes you wish you’d already heard and shared with everyone you know, check out this links below to see his blog and get his mix.
