Hey Filth Fiends! I recently had the pleasure of speaking with and interviewing the Southbound Hangers! Let me tell you, these guys are some of the most down to earth dudes I’ve gotten to chop it up with. Their base camp is in Brighton, UK (Originally the Isle Of Wight) and SBH have let us into their world of dub, giving us their take on the genre, their gear, plans for the future, and even some words of wisdom for you up and comers! They put together the mix below EXCLUSIVELY for DUBliminal.COM! You won’t find this unique line up of filthy LFO’s and Sub-bass anywhere else on the net! Most of the tracks are unreleased from SBH so I encourage you to start/download this mix, and let the bass consume you while you get to know the bad boys from Brighton…
Southbound Hangers- DUBliminal.COM EXCLUSIVE MIX by DUBliminalCOM
*Track List Below
>Names/Age?
Shaun 23
Max 24
> Where did you guys first hear Dubstep, what track was it, and what was
your reaction?
EEERRR The truth is we cant remember its been that long, although we would love to come up with a great answer, probably DMZ, Hatcha?
> How long have you been making Dubstep and what did you produce before
Dubstep came along?
As SBH about a year and a half
Shaun: About 4 years. I made DNB, Grime and Hip hop.
Max: Not long before we started working as SBH, I pissed about making sound installations??
> Were you guys producers or DJ’s first?
DJs. We’ve both been DJing “VINYL BABY” about seven years in the early days mixing Garage, Jungle and DNB..
> What is your current set-up?
I Mac, Logic 9, midi keyboard, Edirol Audio Interface, Adam A7 monitors, SE Electronics condenser mic, USB tea warmer and various other usefull contraptions like chairs, a desk, sometimes we even use a pen and paper…
> What’s process do you undergo when you guys work together to make a track?
All depends on the style of the track, but we normally work together from start to finish, although Shaun tends do alot of the mix-downs, EQ’s etc…
> What do you think makes Dubstep stand out from all the other genres?
There aren’t many constraints, it draws from so many good styles of music and Dubstep is already developing its own sub-genres. A lot of electronic music is quite stagnent at the moment….. plus the people who listen/make it are all nuts!!! Its been around for a while but its still in the early stages and theres a lot to come from Dubstep.
> How would you describe your sound?
To be honest it’s quiet hard for us to describe our sound,we always try to give our tracks some comedy value but a lot of people are saying its a kind of industrial and some our describing it as future dub with a big DNB influence, but the best way to describe it would be to say Its like when someone follows through… Nasty but quite funny. (if its not you!)
> Where do you see Dubstep going in 2010?
To the bank!! Hopefully… LoL! But seriously, we can see Dubstep really progressing, it already has and its absolutely taking over this year. There’s so many huge artists jumping on it now its starting to become very popular, a lot of pop music is sneaking Dubstep beats in now so and we think its gonna make a big impact to the music scene as we know it.
> What are your plans for the future?
We’ve got a collab with Funtcase called “Wizard sleeve” coming out on Prime Audio. We also have a Southbound Hangers Vs Funtcase EP coming coming out on Shift and another track called “Heavy like Metal” coming out on Perk records. We’re also in talks with Marlow about signing to his label “no comply”.
As for future projects were working on collab’s with Riskotheque, Marchmellow, Funtcase and a sick American artist called Druley. Were continuing to do a lot of work with our MC “Raff” but were linking up with some other amazing vocalists and artists this year too so there should be some great new sounds coming out of it all hopefully.
> What has been your favorite experience so far as the Southbound Hangers?
Just hearing our tunes being played out by people we look up to on radio and at club nights is pretty cool. We do have a good time when we play out, but definitely some of our best experiences have been playing for Dubnium In Bournemouth (UK). Its such an amazing atmosphere there and they put so much effort into the nights its an experience not to be missed! The free beer and food is good, too!!
> What artists are you currently listening to?
Listening to a lot of 2nd 2 None’s stuff, Zinc’s Rinse FM podcast is on repeat, Redlight, Riskotheque, Marlow, Marchmellow, Funtcase, Noisia, Joy Orbison, The Bees, Zion Train and loads of other stuff. Too much to mention.
> Who are SBH influenced by?
Benga, Mala, 16bit, Funtcase,Bar 9 (too many more to mention). Also a lot of other things in life, friends and family. We have new influences every day.
> What advice would you give for up and coming Dubstep producers?
Put the hours in, be open minded, try and make music that you want to hear yourself, and have fun.
> Anything you’d like to add?
Thanks to everyone thats listening and all the people that are supporting us. We’d also like to add a bit more reverb to the flux capasitor.
Thanks guys! Big Ups to the Southbound Hangers for putting together this FILTHY mix for our DUBliminal.COM readers! Show some respect and HIT THEM UP over at their MYSPACE and their TWITTER

Hey dub headz, I was recently introduced to Tekka after I posted the interview from his boy Sticky Feet. Tekka sent over a very unique mix that I just had to post. He explains how this mix came about along with where he’s been and where he plans on going. So start the mix below, and take a time out to get to know this 21 year old hailing from the Netherlands, Tekka….
Tekka-Cheesestep Vol. 1 by DUBliminalCOM
Tracklist listed below:
> How did you get started in making dubstep?
I had been producing Hip-hop for about 6 months when I first heard Dubstep. It instantly hooked me because it sounded like a perfect blend between my 3 favorite genres: Hip-hop, DnB and IDM. I tried making a dubstep track, and after that I’ve been doing nothing else but making dubstep for the last year.
> What was the first dubstep song you heard?
I think it’s Vex’d – Thunder, still one of my favorite tunes. I’m not 100% sure about that though.
> What gear/software are you using?
Back in the day when I switched from hip-hop to dubstep and I used an Akai MPC2000xl and Clavia Nord Rack, but since it’s really hard to make good Dubstep with just hardware. I’ve switched to Fruity Loops and I have been working with Cubase a few weeks ago for a new project, and I must say I’m very impressed with that program, so I’ll probably start working with that more in the future.
> Why does dubstep stand out from all the other genres, in your opinion?
In my opinion Dubstep combines the flow of hip-hop, the energy of DnB and the creativity of IDM and turns it into one great genre. It’s also a genre you can do a lot with. Basically you can call anything with a heavy bass and a BPM around 140 Dubstep. I’ve made tracks influenced by Funk, Metal, Hardcore and Pop, and I still have a lot more ideas for directions I can take tunes in.
> How did the idea for Cheesestep come about?
Well I’ve been mixing an internet radioshow weekly at AfterDarkRadio.Info (Friday’s from 2200-2400 GMT) and one time for fun, I put in “cheesy time”. I had just gotten a bunch of dubstep remixes of pop songs from some producers I share tunes with, and I wanted to test them out. While I thought people in the chatbox would hate it (to be honest I was a bit drunk and wanted to mess with the listeners a bit) they actually really liked what I played. So I decided to make a mixtape with only dubstep remixes of popsongs. As you can see in the name and the artwork of the mix, it’s all for fun, because in my opinion there’s a lot of people who take dubstep way too serious.
> How would you describe your sound?
That’s a really hard question, I don’t think anyone can really put the finger on their own sound, and besides that, I’m constantly evolving my sound. Flow is very important in my songs though, and I like my songs to have a different angle then what people normally expect in a dubstep song.
> What dubstep artists are you currently listening to?
I’m really impressed with the sounds that are currently coming from Israel. I went to Jerusalem a few weeks ago to play 2 gigs and work on some tunes with Sticky Feet, and it is bursting with talent over there. Everyone should know Borgore by now, but other really good producers from Israel include Tomba, Sticky Feet, WhiskerTwister and Bunny On Acid.
Other artists I’m currently feeling a lot are Bukez Finezt, fellow dutchman Devnik, and Claw (also Hulk). Also showing some great potential for the future are Davr and Oddsokz.
> Plans for the future?
Plenty! I’ve got a lot of releases planned for this year, including an 4-track EP on Dub Frequency, an 4-track EP on Dubline, and an 4-track EP together with Sticky Feet. Also my first Vinyl release should be out in the summer on Dub Frequency. With DJ’ing I hope to go to more countries in Europe to play, there’s nothing I like more then to DJ, and seeing a crowd go nuts on a track you just finished is amazing.

Excision- Rottun Recordings
Taking influence from Drum and Bass, Metal, and Hip Hop, Excision is a Dubstep artist who must be heard to fully believe. Combining the morphing bass lines of Drum and Bass, the aggressive energy of Metal, and the laid back vibes of hip hop, Excision’s style is incomparable.
At only 22, this young Canadian’s passion for music has already driven him to become one of the biggest Dubstep acts of North America. Anyone who has heard a set by this bad boy has walked away feeling energized and refreshed. If your lucky enough to catch a live set, expect an assault of bass-heavy tracks, mixed quickly and seamlessly.
Upon the selling out and repressing of his first release, “No Escape” on his own label Rottun Recordings, it became apparent that there was a large demand for the dark side of Dubstep. This was proven to be true when Excision was asked by Electronic Music Superstars Pendulum to remix their latest single “Showdown.”
Look out for collaborations with North American Bass Guru Bassnectar, Pendulum, and many others ranging from Drum and Bass heavy-weight SPL, to Dubstep womp master DZ. With an upcoming U.S. tour alongside Pendulum, and a set at the fabled Shambhala Music Festival among many other Canadian and U.S. dates throughout the year, Excision is one to watch.
