Tomorrow the Trouble and Bass Crew celebrates their five year anniversary in epic style.
First, Trouble & Bas and Mishka put together an art show to commemorate the occasion. The show will feature original interpretations of the Trouble & Bass aesthetic by some of the globe’s most-cutting edge artists, including The Zonders, Aerosyn-Lex, L’Amour Supreme, Overthrow, Healeymade, and Droon. The show runs from 7-10PM at the Mishka store, 350 Broadway in Brooklyn. More info HERE.
Afterwards, be sure and head over to Webster Hall, where Plastician will be joining the T&B crew for what’s sure to be a night of mayhem. A few advanced tickets are left for $15 HERE.
Finally be sure to check out THIS Trouble & Bass all time classics mix from their early days to now.

As we walked down Bleecker towards Le Poisson Rouge Saturday night, there was no doubt that the event we were approaching was something epic, as torrents of fans itching to get high on bass music poured towards the doors and waited for their chance to gain access to the mecca of heavy bass awaiting below. A wall of heat and heavy sub-bass slammed into our senses as we walked down the stairs and into the darkened cave that Le Poisson Rouge had morphed into. Sweat dipped down every back as heaving bodies quite literally slammed into each other in a fit of Trouble & Bass ecstasy, with the whole crew reunited after their respective touring this summer.
The Trouble & Bass gang (Drop the Lime, AC Slater, Star Eyes, and The Captain) brought their usual stellar sets with an array of bass music, kicking it up to an even higher degree of excellence for the festive occassion. A plethora of classic dupstep tunes that we’re used to anticipating from a Trouble & Bass set, with the crowd completely losing their minds such tracks as Little Jinder’s “Youth Blood”. Even the now infamous saxephone player from Drop the Lime’s “Sex Sax” video made an appearance, trenchcoat, hat and all.
Special guests Bart B More and Plastician respectively took the reigns during the peak hours of the party, dropping massive sets brimming with some seriously wobbly basslines dropped at the precisely perfect moment. But then, we’ve some to expect nothing less than awesome from the incredible roster of talent that the Trouble & Bass crew always manages to bring to our fair city. We can’t wait to see what dubstep chaos they’ll surprise us with in the colder months to come, as there’s nothing like a little sub-bass to ward off the winter chill.
Check out the full gallery from the night of sweaty bass driven madness HERE.

The British rave band is the latest example of electro’s pollination to different styles of music. The dynamics of Hadouken! combines the genre-hopping tactics of dance music in a catacomb fit for the mainstream with appeal to the underground. Their second album, For The Masses, is already being compared to the innovative breakthrough scales of the Prodigy and Chemical Brothers. (If you can, imagine the metamorphic fragmented doors that were opened by the mainstream releases of Fat Of The Land and Dig Your Own Hole.)
Established in late 2006, the talents of Hadouken! took hold by word-of-mouth and internet fandom, ultimately leading to the success of their 2008 debut album Music For An Accelerated Culture (an appropriate title given the musical style of the band). The album debuted at number twelve on the UK charts and number four in Japan with little to no media attention or press. While we await the release of their widely anticipated album and the announcement of their North American tour, the group has released a bass-heavy EP of the track “M.A.D.” (Mutually Assured Destruction), with reworks by Detboi, Plastician (known for producing “Snoop Dogg Millionaire”) and Phace. Click here to check out the EP, where four of the six tracks are available for free download.
The band will make the cross-over to the US markets in 2010 with For The Masses, slated for a February release. In the meantime, check out two tracks from the EP below and the video for “Turn The Lights Out” after the jump.
UPDATE: Hadouken! will make their first stop in the us at the Mercury Lounge on February 8th 2010.
