Fools Gold / Nightshifters / Acephale artist Kingdom aka Kkingdomm will be bringing the heavy bass to the Barbary tonight. Kingdom has been on a tear ever since I first heard OMG Michelle’s You Don’t Know Michelle produced by Kingdom in late 2007 or early 2008 and his first mixtape, posted here in May of 2008. February saw his debut single Mind Reader released by Fools Gold. In January he had a feature remix on L-Vis 1990’s United Groove. Needless to say his career is only going to take off with those 2 releases coming in the first quarter of 2010.
In February, Kingdom joined fellow Fools Gold artists, Spank Rock, Ninjasonik, Theophilus London and more at the famed Fabric Nightclub (the best club I’ve ever been to) and released a promo mix. If you haven’t, download it below. It’s a dubstep / bassline / bass heavy mix featuring plently of Kingdom’s own production and more.
Flufftronix and Dirty South Joe have teamed up to put out Luvstep, a mix showcasing the sensual side of dubstep. Get it from the Mad Decent Podcast on Valentines Day. Share it with someone you love…
This Friday it’s a UK invasion at Mad Division as Mad Decent and Subdivision team up to bring in Joker & Nomad, L-Vis 1990 and Bok-Bok alongside New York’s Kingdom and hometown heroes DJ Sega, Dirty South Joe, Flufftronix and Lady Prowl. This is going to be massive mate! Seriously if you’re at all into dubstep or grime then do not miss this. Cannot stress how big this party is, very possibly one of the most important of the year with the amount of talent in one venue. Tickets are only $12 presale or $15 at the door. I highly reccomend getting presale since the Mad Decent Mausoleum almost always sells out. This was originally scheduled for 941 Theater but was moved once that was shut down. Get tickets here.
To get you ready for the event, Flufftronix and Dirty South Joe have teamed up to release Luvstep aka <3step aka Love step, showing the softer and sensitive side of dubstep that has been bubbling up in the last year or so.
Flufftronix & DSJ - Luvstep
After the jump, download the luvstep mix and check out the track list
UPDATE: So apparently I jumped the gun, thought this had already been released but it won’t be out until December as a Mad Decent podcast along with an interview with Joker. Artwork and track list after the jump.
UPDATE2: Luvstep is coming this Valentines day, order now and get a handcrafted love note from Amberella gallery. Order it here
Tomorrow, Pure Gold Gallery in the Piazza welcomes Doctor Crab and FARO for HALLOWEEEEED.
Remember when your life went wrong? We do. HALLOWEEEEED is a steaming cauldron full of bad ideas brewed up by Doctor Crab and FARO. A celebration of when Halloween stopped being about fun size candy and superhero costumes, and started being about warm beers, awkward sex, and breaking windows.Doctor Crab and FARO will be taking over the Pure Gold gallery on October 31st to create a visual and interactive display of evil, toilet paper, and pregnancy scares. The work will include paintings and illustrations by the artists individually as well as collaborations with each other and a hand full others who truly understand what it means to be buried alive by the drunken ghosts of Halloweed. In addition to traditional works on presentable materials, the artists will be creating a number of installations inside the gallery, included are a giant ugly mural and an even uglier skateboard ramp. Bring your board, beer coozie and leave your church clothes at home, things are going to get messy.
The opening reception is from 6 - 10 on Halloween. Then the party heads to the RUBA club for Low B, DSJ, Gun$ Garcia, Copout and Johnny Ryall. It’s free til 2, then $5 after. Flyer after the jump. (more…)

Last ever I Can Has Bass at the Medusa Lounge went out with a big big bang. We got the bol Dj Sega to come in and just destroy the place. It was a sweet sweet good bye as everyone I know in Philly came out of the wood works to say what ups, wish me good luck, and bought me a shot. Philly you know I am gonna miss you. So many good times and we rocked them all. Through all the ups and the downs luv u. Will be back real soon, so don’t go and change on me.
Catch Sega tonight with Dirty South Joe, Low Budget aka Low Bee and Jhn Rdn at the Barbary for free! Dollar drinks til 12!!!
Ps. this photo was taken by Paul from Clear Booking out of Japan. The New Yorker reposted the Sega mix from the Buraka night That was such a fucking New York night. Next time you see me remind me to tell you the story about that. On some other other other shit.
UPDATE: There was confusion about photo credit and which photo was used here and on the New Yorker page. This has been cleared up. The above photo was taken by Paul from Clear Booking. The photo originally posted here came from the New Yorker and was taken by Ned Sublette.
So, what to do after block party day on Saturday? Why of course a warehouse party at 941 Theater aka the Red Warehouse aka the Green Warehouse. Its a packed night with Mad Decent signees Toadally Krossed Out headlining with Starkey, the Brick Bandits crew, including DJ Sega, Tim Dolla, Dirty South Joe, Gun$ Garcia, the Subdivision crew, Flufftronix, Stumble, RX and Lady Prowl, plus Jubilee, visuals by System D128 and of course surprise guests. Wow, thats a warehouse full of DJ’s right there. Doors open at 9 so you can go direct from the block party of your choosing. So surprise guests huh? I wonder, maybe from the Mad Decent Block Party, maybe a certian Hollertronix DJ at the 215 Mag Block Party at the Piazza?
Double Dutch is back with residents Gun$ Garcia and Lady Prowl and very special guest Miss Banks direct from Harlem. It’s an all girls night hosted by Jenny Boom Boom and Talea Bella. Gun$ just announced that she bought all of the jumpropes in South Philly, so get ready for some actual Double Dutch. It’s free all night with $1 well drinks & PBRs til 11.
The ladies hit me up with a Double Dutch mix too originally posted by Miss Omni. It’s a little bit of everything including Kid Sisters brand new track Right Hand Hi, Gang remixed by DJ Sega, Chelle remixed by Smarttech, La Roux, Wale & Lady Gaga and more.
