Some of the first tunes I heard out of this dubstep phenomenon came from one original dubstep don, Caspa (London) and West Coast bass delegate, Matty G, back in the summer of 2007 where the Bassline Pressure night was going down at Jilly's on Broadway here...

With more artists in KC doing experimental, beat music derivatives this year, I thought this separate chart would only be right. I don’t think I had near as many favorite local beats to refer to when the Demencha writers put together their 2010 music picks last year. But in...

I have to clear the air and note that it's quite rare that we jack content from other official sites, much less podcasts specific to other sites, but this new hour long mix from the one man, London-based bass tastemaker, Om Unit, is something else. XLR8R has been doing an...

Platinum recording r&b singer, Joe, recently had what we hope is another smooth hit dropped in his lap by Kansas City-native and gifted crooner/writer/producer in his own right, Anthony Saunders. Specifically, we're really looking forward to another Michael Jackson...

Star Slinger's relentless remix reign of 2010/2011 just won't quit. Seven-piece American jazz/funk group, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue are the latest to digest the remix elixir from Dr. Slinger. Both the original of "Do To Me" and Slinger's remix have "potential car...
