Here’s a FREE DOWNLOAD of the Radio Edit of Starkey’s Remix of Stagga’s amazing new track – “Genik Riddim.”

Berlin/Cardiff producer and DJ, Stagga, has been making waves for years now. From his early hip hop days to his more recent international dubstep success, he’s been supported by Mary Anne Hobbs, N Type, Hatcha, Kid606 and Chef among others. Releases on Rag & Bone, Rudeez (Rossi B & Luca’s label) and Robox-Neotech have cemented his status as and underground heavyweight. He’s well known for his pummeling bassline antics, but his love of vocal oriented tracks is no surprise. Now Stagga is back with a grime track sure to get things hyperrrr!

MCs Skamma and Joe Blow (of the Squid Ninjaz crew) tear up this sick riddim with their frantic flows and clever word play.

The remixes are, well, fucking MAD! Starkey screws it down proper with thick n’ groovy synths to make ya shoulder lean. Atlanta’s Distal goes into hyper drive with an amazing juke remix that just might be the first footwork and grime crossover!

Not to sound too inarticulate, but OH FUCK YES!!

Our friends dear friends over at Big Dada just delivered a musical Red Rider BB Gun into our mailbox moments ago. Christmas came a bit early this year & just in time for the weekend!! Subdivision is overjoyed to share with you THREE FREE REMIXES OF BANG ON’s HANDS HIGH!!!!

Some of you may remember a post we did a few months back on Bang On! – a 20 year old kid from Toxteth, who released one of the better tracks of 2010 – Hands High. Now, we are proud to deliver FREE 320 REMIXES of that stand out track by the likes of Raffertie, Dixie, & Reklews.

For those new to Bang On!, lemme put it like this – young Elliott Egerton is the next wave of UK rap. Coming hard, fast and funny in a thick Scouse accent, he first popped up a few years back with his Scally Thugs freestyle on Rusko’s “Cockney Thugs”. Since then Bang On! has developed an enviable reputation in the North West as a blazing live performer who turns the cliches of both hip hop and grime on their heads. Hands High is a brutal jump-up dubstep monster produced by shadowy scouse wunderkind Dixie over which Bang On machine-guns stream-of-consciousness observations on Liverpool life: Toddla T put it best – “”So hot, I ain’t even got any of his tunes yet”

Hardcore, uncompromising, charming and with a fierce intelligence, Bang On! is set to not only change the landscape of British rap, he is damn near inventing it.

Many know him under his DJ DONNA SUMMER moniker and as the other label head of the fantastic Nightshifters. But years ago – at least 6 or 7 – Jason Forrest used to make and curate some of the weirdest left-field electronic music. To be honest, it wasn’t until I bought DJ Donna Summer’s Panther Tracks when it first came out & saw that it was on Forrest’s Cock Rock Disco that I made the connection. But enough of my inability to connect the dots.

Like I said, it has been years since Jason released any “Jason Forrest” music. And though it has been a while, Jason never stopped making the music that he “always considered closest to my interests and inspirations.”

That’s why we at Subdivision are proud to announce that Jason Forrest has a new Full-Length album due out in 2011!

When Brian Miller asked Jason to make 2 tracks for his Deathbomb Arc “Digital Singles Club” the proposition morphed into a legit 4-track EP – the Utopia E.P. – which both Jason and Subdivision are happy as hell to share FOR FREE!!!

And if that wasn’t enough to fill your Christmas stocking, Jason will be playing here in Baltimore THIS FRIDAY December 10, 2010 on the 3rd floor of the Bootleg Feline Warehouse with Baltimore’s RICK RA of FOOD FOR ANIMALS and Deep in the Game DJs (Cexman, Schwarz, and Mark Brown)!!! So those in the Baltimore area, get your ass to the Warehouse this FRIDAY. Here’s the event info via Facebook

Oh, and for good measure:

It’s rare that music can feel ‘new’ anymore. But sometimes an artist comes along with an unusual mix of sounds and something bigger happens. So of course, Nightshifters brings something deep, menacing – and yes – something new.

Talk is Daniel Lewis. His music is an intoxicating mixture of the mystical and guttural elements of strange late night lifestyles. Talk’s music is surprisingly cinematic yet, at heart, everything he produces is dark bass-filled club music. With an ear toward dubstep, gutter house, grime and tech-house, Talk is always moving forward. He’s constantly presenting audiences with his own atmosphere, constantly on the lookout for seductive new sounds.

The Holy Mountain EP is Talk’s debut release and it’s pretty challenging. The title track is an epic bass music anthem and an ode to the 1973 psychedelic film by Alejandro Jodorowsky of the same name. “Finland” finds haunting choirs melding together over a percussive backbone, while “Burning Alive” is a dark, artful tech house wasteland of delayed voices and synths. “Walking Disease” finds Talk at work with lazer sitars, cinematic strings and haunting synth stabs; it’s a dark journey through dark places.

And then we have the remixes. Hot as hell Distal brings even more heat with his tense organ driven Dubstep remix of Holy Mountain. UK mystery man Skinnz made a skittery garage inspired take on the title track while LA/Canada duo LOL Boys push up the 3Ball Club. Last but most assuredly not least, Deathface gives you a kidney punch with his screaming Dubstep version of Walking Disease to round out the release. ­­­
Talk is also the first of a next generation of producers we’re proud to be working with. Together with Canblaster (he’s next in Nov/Dec), Distal and Magnum, they are a new generation of producers that are pushing the limits in a big way.

Talk’s Burning Alive Video

We at Subdivision are massive fans of Tomb Crew, so it imagine our excitement when they sent us their remix of Alex Winston’s Choice Notes to share with all of our readers!! Definitely a standout remix from the Crew, who, by the way, are a MUST FOLLOW on Twitter. The daily madness from legendary wizard Illman brightens even the most gloomy days.

“They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshipped the creature rather than the Creator…” Romans 1:25

This Scripture captures the entire essence of what occultists have been doing for almost 5,000 years. Today’s New Age adherents, who pride themselves so greatly on their sophistication and “spiritual knowledge” worship all sorts of created objects rather than God.

Occultists place much faith in the inherent power of numbers. No plan of action can be carried out without first determining two things:

Is the timing of this plan of action in accordance with the astrological lineup of the stars, moons, and planets?

Is the timing of this plan of action in accordance with the numbers it will produce? This process is “Divination” and is specifically prohibited by God. (Deut 18:10-11)

Once you understand how occultists think and calculate, you will be able to see occultism in world events. This effort to determine the correct time for an action is carried out to precise days and times. A good example is the suicide of Adolf Hitler. Hitler chose the date, April 30, 1945, because it was the first day of the Pagan Spring Holy Days. He chose 3:30p.m. because, according to occult doctrine, this combination of three’s presented to him the most favorable time to depart this life and reenter the reincarnation cycle. Note the triple 3′s present here, April 30 as the first three, 3 o’clock in the afternoon as the second three, and 30 minutes past the hour is the final three. Hitler was engaging in typical occult behavior by arranging the timing of his death in a very precise, numeric manner. Hitler wanted to exit this life in such a proper time that he could come back quickly, as the real Anti-Christ.

THE SIX SACRED NUMBERS

1. Three (3) is the first sacred number, the first perfect number (Westcott, p. 41). Three represents the Pagan Trinity.” (Westcott, p. 37). It is represented geo-metrically in the triangle, and spiritually as the Third Eye Of Hinduism. Occultists will multiply and add three to other sacred numbers to create new numbers. However, they also group threes in two’s and threes, because they believe in the principle of “intensification”, i.e., that greater power is achieved when a sacred number is grouped. In the case of three, greater intensification is achieved when it is shown as 33, or 333. 333 + 333 equals 666. Occultists have used 333 as the hidden symbol by which they present the more offensive number 666. When the details of an event are so arranged as to contain certain sacred occult numbers or numeric combinations, this is literally an occult signature on the event. Mathematically, 666 can be created when three pairs of threes are added. Thus, (3+3) + (3+3) + (3+3) = 666. Now, eliminate the parentheses and the plus sign, and you have 33 space, 33 space, 33, representing the number 666.

2. Six (6) is the next sacred number, representing the number of the soul of man (Westcott, p. 66). This shows the omnipotent power of God, as this belief parallels Revelation 13:18, where God assigns 666 to man and to the beast. Six is also believed to be “all-sufficient”. This parallels

Biblical teaching, which states that man’s great sin is pride in himself.

3. Seven (7) is a sacred number. Van Buren calls 7 “one of the most sacred of all the numbers…the Invisible Centre, the Spirit of everything”. (p. 39) Since multiplication of seven creates an even more powerful sacred number, we should not be surprised that 3×7, or 21, is considered powerful .

Thus, when Adam Weishaupt formed the Masters of the Illuminati, he arranged the timing of the event by arranging the numbers in a manner which would add to powerful numbers. He chose May 1, because May, month #5, added to the first day, equals 6. Weishaupt chose 1776, because the four numbers of this year add up to 21 (1+7+7+6 = 21). Further, the number 6 + 21 = 27, another number of power, because it is formed by the multiplication of 3×9. This date was very carefully chosen by Weishaupt; he believed the greatest Plan is doomed to failure if it is not carried out in the most numerically advantageous time.

4. Nine (9) is sacred because it is the “first cube of an odd number (3)”, (Van Buren, p.40-41)

The triple nine (999) is utilized to represent 666, because it is simply the inversion of 666.

5. Eleven (11) is a sacred number. When eleven is multiplied by the perfect number 3, the number 33 is produced, a number of tremendous occult importance. In 1933, Adolf Hitler and President Franklin Roosevelt came to power. Both these men were committed to the establishment of the New World Order, and their actions impacted humanity greatly. It was also in 1933 that the First Humanist Manifesto was issued. Do you see how Satan manipulated world history to produce three New World Order events in 1933? Thus, a powerful 333 served as a framework for world events in that year.

6. Thirteen (13) is deemed sacred. It was also no accident that Hitler chose the year 1939 to begin World War II, because 39 is formed by the multiplication of 13×3. Thus, you can see how human history has been shaped by the occult belief in the power of numbers. We have provided much detail as to how history has been shaped by this belief in the power of numbers. You can get this information in our Cutting Edge Radio Program dated May 9, 1992, entitled, “33 33 33 = 666 New Age Numerology”.

After the critical success of his EP for the legendary Scottish label, Stuff, Ewan Robertson aka Offshore presents his first EP for new home Big Dada. Four tracks deep, the “Aneurysm EP” shows beyond any shadow of a doubt what a talented musician Robertson is.

“Aneurysm” itself is the bass tune of the package. Put it on any big speaker system and feel your breastplate buzz. But despite its links back to Robertson’s earlier work it also shows a reliance on melody and detailing which sets it apart from the work of some of his contemporaries. This isn’t just music to play in a club. Offshore develops this aesthetic throughout the rest of the EP. “Hiccup” is the melancholic soundtrack to an East European thriller. “UTG” builds from a series of slipping, sliding interludes to epic electrowob-orchestral climax. And last track “Round And Round” demonstrates that Robertson’s work perhaps owes as much to the moors, mountains and even folk tunes of his home country as it does to hip hop and inner city London, where he now lives.

Bass-heavy, packed with detail and an ear for melody, this is the next wave of Cale(donian)-funk. Roberston’s debut album is expected Spring 2011.

Over the past summer, I have gotten into this new(ish) artist, RxRy, not to be confused with Subdivision’s own, Rx. RxRy makes, what he calls, “dropstep” – somewhere between slow sonic shoegazer and Brainfeeder. It’s strange and chill. And makes for good listening on summer nights in a field.

In early August, he posted up a free E.P. called Memory Landscapes, which is a good introduction to his sound. I included it below for your listening/downloading pleasure.

Also, be sure to check his blog for other freebies, including the brilliantly epic Michael Jackson remix ‘Don’t Stop Til You Give Enough‘. With this recent interest in the electronically strange (a la Com Truise, Teen Daze, Baths, et al), I expect RxRy to be getting more attention in the coming months. In the mean time, enjoy Memory Landscapes.
