The Dolomites project has belted out an amalgamation of styles extracted from Europe, Japan, America, South America and other parts of the globe at intervals since 1998. Founded by Stevhen Koji Iancu aka Stefanko Selecta (Half-Japanese and Half-Romanian British-American National) in 1998, the Dolomites had their beginnings in an art punk house in Portland, Oregon.

Their first album “A Hogshead of Whiskey” was released in the year 2000 on Walking Records. Originally consisting mainly of drinking songs in Pogues styles with a Tom Waitsian accent, they later incorporated Gipsy, Jazz and Evil Disney sounds on the “Medicine Show E.P.”, released in 2002.

The Dolomite´s second album “Darumanian Chophouse” (2005), recorded and produced in Brooklyn, New York, brought out more Gipsy elements scrambled together with Japanese Pop and Enka style melodies. Stevhen Koji later went on hiatus from the Dolomites and started working with diverse musical projects, such as Gogol Bordello, Reverend Glasseye, Yerba Buena, Romashka, Mad Juana, as well as with OPVC, a gamelan theatre from San Francisco.

After being re-acquainted with his motherland (Japan), Stevhen Koji spent some time touring and recording in Japan and independently released 3 EPs on Monster Muzik : “Gaijin Gadjokai” (2007), “Nanjya Korya?-(What the F@%k is this?)” (2008) and “No End” (2009).

Following the Japan years the Dolomites sound steadily morphed into something nomadically fresh, as of today bringing crunked out beats and bass to the Gipsy melodies, fusing 8Bit, chiptunes, glitch hop and wonkyness to an unmistakeable Dolomites “8Bit Balkan” (2011) sound released on If the Kids Records (Berlin).

This awesome and totally unique Remixes EP of the ultra-gorgeous “Queen of the Game” track by the Anglo-Japanese, The Dolomites, will be out soon on Generation Bass Digital.

Grab a great freebie from Noms:

Future Jungle
A long-time friend of mine Palmeto aka Arnold Acosta first enlightened to me the name of this sub-genre of 140bpm bass music that I’ve been diggin/playing out in the past year: Future Jungle. Coming from a Jungle/DnB producer,DJ, Live P.A. background under the alias of Rotfly / Cirkular Square in the early-to-mid 2000′s…it immediately intrigued me to find out more. The sub-genre has mostly the same organic feel and overall tonality of deeply subby, ragga-influenced Jungle with a tempo-transplant that gives it a greater strategic appeal to the currently widespread 70/140bpm era.

So we’re gonna be trawling through our archives to find what we consider to be some of our classic posts, which should highlight just how influential we might have been in the past 4 years without actually gaining critical recognition for it.  Critical recognition doesn’t really bother us because some of the best things in the world go largely unnoticed.

The first of such posts is this one that we did back in March 2010.  The classic aspect of this post is not the music but what we had the foresight/observation to predict that would happen to Dubstep/Brostep in the future!  No mean feat but nobody else was saying this at around that time!

Dubstep/Brostep in America has kinda become what we were observing back then and so it’s pretty pertinent and important.

Dubstep has become a ROCK CONCERT, it’s far removed from the traditional image of a sweaty dancefloor in a club where people go for a great workout, dancing till they drop.

Instead, you have a sea of people throwing their fists in the air, swaying back & forth and headbanging as if they were at a Rock gig.

We predicted these similarities and that Dubstep would go on to echo many features of a traditional Rock or Metal gig.

This was also latterly picked up 1 and half years later by esteemed music journalist Simon Reynolds who is mentioned in the following as quoted in Wiki:

Brostep and American developments

In 2011, dubstep gained significant traction in the US market by way of a post-dubstep style known as brostep with the American producer Skrillex becoming something of a figurehead for the scene. In September 2011 a Spin Magazine EDM special referred to brostep as a “lurching and aggressive” variant of dubstep that has proven commercially successful in the United States.^[97] Unlike traditional dubstep production styles, that emphasize sub-bass content, brostep accentuates the middle register and features “robotic fluctuations and metal-esque aggression”. According to Simon Reynolds, as dubstep gained larger audiences and moved from smaller club-based venues to larger outdoor events, sub-sonic content was gradually replaced by distorted bass riffs that function roughly in the same register as the electric guitar in heavy metal.^[98]

You even have rock musicians from bands like Pendulum forming Dubstep acts like Knife Party and leaving their established bands and legends like Ray Manzarek from the Doors working with dudes like Skrillex.  Even we’re working with some rock legends that we have to keep under wraps for now.  Dudes like Bassnectar are selling out 10,000 capacity arena’s in a matter of hours, just like the Metal  bands!

So there you have it, Dubstep is the New Heavy Metal!

And here below is what we said back in March 2010 and if you want to go to the original post too, CLICK HERE:

CLASSIC POST – 15th MARCH 2010

DUBSTEP MONDAY @ GENERATION BASS

Don’t know about you lot but for me, Dubstep takes me back to my teens.  There is a correlation between it and Heavy Metal music in more ways than one such as these:

It has a mainly hardcore male following.

Gurrls are also involved, an analogy could be drawn between Dubstep gurrls and Rock chicks.

The Bass Wobble is like the new Guitar Solo, some if it is really self-indulgent too.  It has inspired a whole swathe of youngsters to get in on it.

There’s lots of headbanging at Dubstep gigs!

The xcitement of seeing one of your Dubstep heroes and looking forward to a show is for me very reminscent of some of the early rock gigs I use to go to..Sabbath, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Dio etc etc etc.

It’s BASSSS HEAVVVY and LOUUUUD!

Many of you will not view the same similarities but that’s what it is to me.

Anyway, today we have:

1.FLeCK

2. Dstruct.O

3. B Riddim

4. NoduZ

5. Freddy Todd

6. Thierry Le DJ

7. Esquire

8. Grawlix

9. StylustBeats

10. Dannravv

11. Xxxclusive Jeuce Mixtape for Generation Bass

Another serioussss track from one of our favourite Dubstep masters whose sound still remains “timeless”.

Also check out the mix he did for Outlook 2012 competition!!!

Man they should be booking this dude without the need for him to enter competitions!!!!

Another AMAZING freebie from one of our favourite Dubstep son’s!

But this one’s more of a jungle/DnB ditty!

For the project ‘Generation Bass presents Global Mashups vol.1′ we at brought together vocalists and producers from non-Western countries and had them work with upcoming stars from Western dance genres like dubstep, skweee and tropical house whom they never met. They rehearsed together during the day, before entering the stage at night. We got some really AMAZING results. Banging live sets from these people!

Participants in these explorations were:
STEVE RUTTA / X PLASTAZ (Tanzania) vs RANDY BARRACUDA (Finland)
FELLOW (Aruba) vs ELGATO (uk)
MENEO (Guatemala) vs BERTONBEATS (est)
MUTHONI (Kenya) vs SILKIE (uk)
HOPE MASIKE (Zimbabwe) vs PROCESS REBEL (usa)
and
DJ QUIEN (Bolivia) vs FLECK (Greece)
who are both featured in this little video teaser!

All performances were recorded on video and will be shown on generationbass.com

This project was supported by Incubate and Hivos.

Our good friend from Bolivia was a part of the Generation Bass Global Mash ups project, which took place recently at Incubate in Holland.

He was collaborating & playing alongside the brilliant FLeCK and man, it was a performance to behold. We’ll bring the Live recording to their performance soon but in the meantime, soak up some free Global Bass/Transnational Dubstep/Bassline & Andestep loveliness courtesy of a free EP.

FLeCK sent me this track over a year ago for the Transnational Dubstep compilation but we didn’t end up using it for that compilation. So a year later, he now lets it loose for free download and it still sounds as fresh as it did when I listened to it over a year ago.

The thing about FLeCK though, is that I just know that I’ll be listening to his music for quite some time to come and I can’t say the same for your Datsik’s, Rusko’s, Skrillex and many of the other so called Dubstep Gods of this time!
