The wobbles returned to The Studio at Webster Hall last Wednesday when Trouble & Bass took over for their monthly staple. Mumdance showed us what he meant by “Kerplunk” with a diverse set that included dubstep, grime, and a drum n bass version of the theme from “Love Story”. Deathface (sans blood) brought us pure, unadulterated dubstep that had the crowd in The Studio getting down and dirty until the late hours. As usual, the Trouble & Bass crew – Drop the Lime, The Captain, Star Eyes and AC Slater – delivered a solid tag team set to open and close the night.
It’s that time of the month, which means that tomorrow night, Trouble & Bass will once again take over The Studio at Webster Hall with No Escape From New York. This month’s installment will be celebrating the release of The Horror, the new EP from special guest Deathface. The Horror, which is out today, is the first release from Deathface, newly signed to Trouble & Bass. The EP will feature five original tracks – all produced in 2010 – that Trouble & Bass describes as a “darker, dirtier and almost demonic dubstep sound”. More info and links to purchase the EP HERE. Check out “Theme to Deathface” below, and head over to the Mad Decent blog for additional tracks and remixes.

Coming at us from London, this month’s other featured guest, Mumdance, has upcoming releases on both Mad Decent and Trouble & Bass. He calls his new sound “Kerplunk” (also the title of his upcoming Mad Decent EP): “I named the sound Kerplunk! because it sounds like the old school kids game when all the marbles fall out. With Kerplunk! Part One I decided to strip everything right down & and do a golden era 8 Bar Grime track with a Kerplunk! breakdown.” Check it out for yourself below.
