Dubliminal

Check it out guys, episode #102, our first official live stream with Richie August!

What if you could eat one meal that satisfied your hunger, satisfied your pleasure center, nourished and energized you for the whole year? Wouldn’t that meal be infinitely more valuable than any other? Wouldn’t you like, for once, to get way more than you paid for? This is how we at Betamorph Recordings feel about the Dubsteppers for Haiti project. We believe the satisfaction gained from every dollar spent on these tracks exceeds that of that of any other album on the market. Here’s why. We know the tracks on the release are bangers. We’ve worked tirelessly with the artists refining some tunes, re-mastering and re-working others, and also securing brand new tunes, so that every track is a unique version just for this release. Some of our favorites include Tim Ismag’s “X-Men”, D-Jahsta’s “Slug Bass”, Fonik’s “Pain Game”, and “London Riots” from Rednek. All in all we’ve included 31 top-notch pieces so we know there will be something for everyone, and plenty of it. We’ve made it available through all quality digital download avenues including our own website, so we know that it’s accessible to every human being that can get to a computer.

Finally, and of the utmost importance, every dollar or two that you would pay for each track goes toward our account with the Haitian Health Foundation . In the past, we have made our contributions through Americares, but this time we wanted to use a group that was more specifically oriented in Haiti, so that we will be able to track our contribution and know exactly who it goes to and how it benefits them. With this particular foundation we are able to finance 3 things that will literally make and entire family live better for years to come. We will contribute a goat, an out-house style enclosed bathroom, and an entire house built from concrete with a tin roof and a finished floor. These items will significantly improve a families quality of life almost immediately. Disease, famine, and poverty, decimate the population each year. For a Haitian family, a goat means income from selling milk, and meat; not to mention the pride and emotional satisfaction that comes from raising living things. Living in the U.S.A., many of us are unaware that more people in the world live without any form of proper waste removal facility, than do. Giving a family a real toilet will dramatically decrease their susceptibility to disease and bacterial infection, added to that, is the protection of the enclosed home which will keep out rodents, insects, predators, and the elements, which are all killers to a family that sleeps on the ground in ramshackle huts.

We do this in the spirit of oneness, brotherhood, and duty. In 2012 we pledge to make internal changes that will increase our outward flow of energy to the coffers of humanity’s well-being. We will grow as a company and as individuals, because of our efforts, to contribute to that which saves us all.

Hulk is a collaboration of the minds of two creative minds sharing a similar enthusiasm for heavy driven bass music, Claw & Richie August. After meeting at the 2009 Winter Music Conference in Miami, they began to send files back and forth to collaborate on projects in Dubstep, Hip Hop and Electro. Since the inception, Hulk has been catching the eyes and ears of artists such as Reid Speed, Reso, Mark Instinct, Ultrablack, TrillBass, High Rankin and DJ Lord of Public Enemy, just to name a few.

Their first official release dropped on Reid Speeds’ Play Me Records as a Beatport exclusive in January of 2010, containing the tracks, “See You” and “Angeldust” with official remixes by King from Las Vegas. Hulk has also recently launched their own record label, “BroTown Records” with the help of Symphonic Distribution. This new venture already has the scene begging for the slated releases to drop, with songs by Claw and Richie August along BroTown artists Vaski, Druley, Mark Instinct, Symbl and their own moniker Hulk. Get ready for the biggest bass in the game, as Hulk is here to SMASH!

Claw emerged in Houston, Texas in 1999, at the age of 15. He was well-received from the start, making contacts with the local rave DJ’s of the time. By the time he was 16, he was playing at some of Houston’s bigger underground parties and weekly events. After graduating high school, he moved to Florida to pursue music as a profession and began playing at weekly events. After finishing his music engineering studies at Fullsail in Orlando, Claw made his way across New York working at numerous studios with various engineers and producers. He then moved to Las Vegas to pursue his record label with Trillbass, which he co-founded. Claw also just did an official Dubstep remix for Wu-Tang that debuted at # 7 on the ITunes Hip Hop chart, and is currently back living in NY to run his art gallery and record label ventures.

Richie August started out mixing Drum & Bass and Hip Hop in the south-side of Chicago in 1998. He began producing his own tracks in 2000, alongside Chicago Hip Hop artist, “Skope The Lyrical MC”. In early 2008, Richie got his first taste of dubstep and It didn’t take him long before he was refining his sound and signing his first EP of tracks to Betamorph Recordings. The Death Proof EP came out and solidified Richie and his unique blend of teeth rattling bass and Hip Hop edge in the Dubstep community. As soon as you hear a new Richie August tune, you know it’s his. Since then, he’s been making dancefloor smashing hits, remixing, collaborating, and is up to over 15 releases on various labels, with no slowing down in sight.

I am pleased to announce that this Sunday we are debuting “Wolf Pack LIve” from 6-9 CST! For those of you guys that don’t know, The Wolf Pack is a dj collective based here out of Chicago. Twice a month we will be bringing you some of the best DJ’s from around the world live from our studio. This week we are kicking things off proper with Richie August (of Hulk), Jeekoos, and WSK.
