Gylph Bassfuckers. Lol. But seriously they are just another prime example of why the Belgium dubstep scene is so cutting edge.
I am going to contact this producer to do an interview with him asap.

Guten Morgen!
So I feel as though some event of epic proportions is bound to happen within the next few days. I have been pondering about the "Peaceful Gathering of Hands" and I feel that that event is extremely significant for the local progression of society. It puts forth the value premises of a resource based economy and furthermore promotes collaborative thought, communal living, and peaceful function in society. I am actively participating with this event and am even volunteering to set it up. It is another big step in making the changes necessary to bring about a world of peace, love, unity, and respect.
The website www.lsdex.ru is a Russian contemporary art website. Here is a Rusko video I found on it yesterday.
Even though Rusko isn't really any bit similar to most of the dubstep I promote, I think its a really cool video.
The website realitysandwich.com is something I have been exploring a lot lately. Here is a video of an interview with Ralph Metzner.

Today is an Interesting DAY! Interview with Bit Glitch!
Today I am doing an interview with Bit Glitch, if you aren't already familiar with him here is his sound cloud.

http://www.facebook.com/bitglitch
Ok, HERE WE GO!
Q: How would you describe your music? How would you descibe both your method and and attitude towards producing electronic music?
A:The music I make is mostly dubstep and drumstep, mixed with some 8bit video games synths. I like my bass lines heavy and filthy, but I can't have them without some old school video game melodies. I try to give my songs some sort of flow, something that you could dance to if you wanted to. For the majority of my music I use Ableton and Fruity Loops, but am not limited to those 2 programs.
Q: How long have you been producing?
A: I've been working on learning how to produce music for roughly 8 months now. The past 3 months though, I've been working on overdrive
Q: What inspired you to make electronic music?
A: Well, I've been making music my whole life. Started playing drums when I was just a little kid, but I never got the idea to make EDM until I went to a rave with my buddy out in the middle of a forest. I sort of had an epiphany while I was there, that I could be doing what the DJ's there were doing, that it didn't look too hard.
Q: How is the electronic music scene in your area?
A: There wasn't one at all! That is until my buddy Jynx and I (with help from lots of people!) set up our cities first Dubstep event back in April. It did extremely well though. We will at least be having 1 or 2 events a month now.
Q: What would you say is the most popular sub genre in your area?
A: Well, since there's never really been an EDM scene here, a lot of the people here have only got to listen to dubstep and a little bit of electro house. I'd say dubstep is the most popular genre here.
Q: Are you strongly connected within your local community of producers and djs? Nationally? Internationally?
A: I'd say I'm pretty connected with my local community. I talk to almost every artist that's anywhere from around here. I have DJ/Producer friends spread all across the country, whether it be Jersey, North Carolina, Florida, or New York. Internationally, I've made friends with a lot of helpful people, mostly from the UK.
Q: Do you feel that the uprising of technology via the internet via sound cloud could spark a possible cultural revolution being sound cloud is a growing community of producers that produce their music out of shear ambition and not for the purpose of monetary gain?
A: Hasn't it already? I made my start on Soundcloud and find it to be amazing ! Soundcloud motivates many great artist to make music, and seem to be growing every day. If you aren't using it, I don't know what you're doing haha.
Q: How many shows have you played? Any festivals?
A: Well, seeing as I started to learn how to DJ at the same time I started to produce, it hasn't been too long. I've held off from doing any gigs in the beginning, because I wanted to focus solely on getting better at making music, and actually getting my music out there. I want to be able to play my own music, not someone else's. I just did my first event in April, and currently have 3 booked in the next 2 months.
Q: What other producers do you admire in the current electronic music scene?
A: I'd have to say my favorites right now are, J. Rabbit, Helicopter Showdown, Getter, NiT GriT, Doctor P, Roksonix, Funtcase, and Figure. and KhemehK!
Q: Do you agree with me that dubstep really is a special genre because it has become so versatile and is increasingly so?
A:I think Dubstep is a special genre, it's also a new genre that's trying to find it's place. I think it will keep evolving until it finds that perfect spot.
Q: Would you say your strengths lie in mixing or producing?
A: I'd say producing. It's been my main focus the past few months, but now that I'm almost done with my album that's dropping next month (hopefully) I will be starting to mix more and do more shows.
Q: Have you collaborated with any other producers? If not, do you plan to?
A: I haven't yet, but on my upcoming album there are 5 producers doing remixes for me. I'm currently working with KhemehK on a track that's being released on a separate EP, and it's coming along great! I have plans to work with MANY artists in the near future.
Q: What are you working on currently that is not released yet to sound cloud?
A: Well, I'm working on all the songs dropping on my album: "I Don't Give A Fuck", "I Shoot Lazers", "Glitch It", "Beast", and another that I just started. I'm also working on remastering my Androidz tracks and releasing a VIP for those. Working on a new Donnie Darko themed song, and another one themed around the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness movies. I'm also doing a collab with KhemehK that we just started, and already it's amazing !
Q: What equipment do you use to DJ?
A: To DJ, I do most of my work on my APC and Ableton. I also used my Axiom 49 keyboard, but I will be replacing that in future shows with some new equipment.

So, I wanna share an event that I got invited to via facebook.
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=167739843281457
It's called a peaceful gathering of hands. The premise is to bring a wide variety of people together so they can therefore share there thoughts, ideas, art, music, and food. It really is taking a whole new step in our world becoming peaceful, resourceful, and communal.
I myself plan to bring my art that is photographic collages to show there. I as well will bring forth my ideas and writing to find people I can network and collaborate with.

That is another link that goes a bit deeper into what it is.

Interview With Beazt
1. How would you describe your music? How would you descibe both your method and and attitude towards producing electronic music?
1. My music is mostly Dub Step and Drum and Bass, but I like all types of electronic music and plan on producing Dub Step, DNB, House, and even some chill wave stuff. I tend to make some grimy sounds but love the chill melodies and the softer side. My music is Heavy, Fun, and entertaining, something to bob your head to, it keeps you’re attention through out the song and I really try to make sounds that I have never heard before. When I make a song I rarely have a idea of what its going to be, I try not to plan it out and just let the inspiration flow and free myself to the universe and the song writes it self. I love making music, it’s its like a painting or a giant puzzle and when all the pieces are together you have a huge accomplishment, it doesn’t matter if anyone else like it its art however you look at it.
2. What program(s) do you use for production?
2. I use Logic 9, and Komplete ( fm8, massive, reaktor, Kontakt , Kore ) But my favorite synth is by far RAZOR from native instruments its where the BEAZT sound comes from.
3. How long have you been producing?
3. I have been producing electronic music for almost three months. One of my best friends “The Plague” and I split Komplete and Logic and have been working hard since February of 2011.
4. What inspired you to make electronic music?
4. I love electronic music , even as a child I was running the outs from my TV to a tape deck and would record video game songs, like space harrier and Tetris. So the music inspired me to write music the sounds the beats. I also have my best buds to thank for inspiration, The Plague, Teeel, and the infamous Com Truise. I have also been a dj for years and thought it was time to play my own tunes.
5. How is the electronic music scene in your area?
5. It’s a solid scene in the NJ Philly area with multiple parties a month going off. I try to get out and support as much as I can but lately I have been staying and focusing on production.
6. I would say house music is the most popular music in my area, though dub step has been catching allot of ears. The house djs play dub step and the drum and bass djs play dub step so its been crossing some serious barriers. I would like to mention that Philly is known for its DNB scene, it’s not as strong as it was but parties still go off on the regular and that’s where you will find me.
7, Are you strongly connected within your local community of producers and djs? Nationally? Internationally?
7. I wouldn’t say that I am very connected with local artist, or international artists only those I talk to through soundcloud.
8. Do you feel that the uprising of technology via the internet via sound cloud could spark a possible cultural revolution being sound cloud is a growing community of producers that produce their music out of shear ambition and not for the purpose of monetary gain?
8. I sure hope that with technology and music we can change the world, but to many people only listen to what the radio and the TV plays, “the mass’s” need to get off their asses and search for quality music and truth. I feel there will be a revolution in the coming years and the only thing we have to rely on is technology and the genius of the human mind to recreate our future with technology and resources as the focus not money and profit.
9. How many shows have you played? Any festivals?
9. I have been DJing for many years and have played countless shows, clubs, and venues with some of the biggest artist in the world such as John B, Evol Intent Dylan, and Tech Itch just to name a few.
10. What other producers do you admire in the current electronic music scene?
10. I admire The Plague Helicopter Showdown, Sluggo, Reso, John B, Evol Intent, Audio, TEEEL, Com Truise.
11. Do you agree with me that dubstep really is a special genre because it has become so versatile and is increasingly so?
11. I think Dub Step is special because many people can relate to it and many people who might not normally enjoy electronic music can get down to the groovy beats. I do feel that it is like DNB was ten years ago it’s going through its transformation and evolving and it’s an amazing thing to watch it happen and be a part of it!
12. What producers inspired you to producer the music you produce?
12. I would say I started making music because I love the music not because any particular producers inspired me.
13. Would you say your strengths lie in mixing or producing?
13. I would say my strengths are in Mixing for sure because I have been spinning for over ten years, but I am quickly getting stronger at production and working hard at increasing the quality of my music.
14. Have you collaborated with any other producers? If not, do you plan to?
14. Right now I am working with The Plague and we have started GRINDHOUSE (BEAZT & The Plague) there are other producers we would like to work with in the future and hopefully those project will start to materialize soon.
15. What are you working on currently that is not released yet to sound cloud?
15. GRINDHOUSE is working on a six song EP for Foul Play Records.
16. What are your thoughts on your preference program for producing music?
16. I use Logic 9 and I love it, it gives a great sound out of the box. I have tried Reason and Abelton and Logic seems fit my style of writing the best.
17. What equipment do you use to dj?
17. I have two Pioneer 800 MK2’s and a Behringer pro 4000 digital mixer two KRK Rockit 6 two KRK rockit 5 and a KRK rockit 10 sub for studio monitors.
18. How socially accepted/popular is electronic music in your area?
18. Electronic Music is very accepted since I live next to NY City Philly and Trenton, it is very common to hear electronic music at the bars and clubs in the area. Often you will hear dub step or house being blasted from someone’s vehicle.
19. How do you feel about the status quo of planet earth?
19. Planet earth has been on a cycle for millions of years and I feel that we are entering a new period where we will see many changes. The people on this planet need to break free from the slavery called the monetary system and do what is right for humanity and the planet. We have the technology and resources to be a great species but we let money and profit blind us from what is truly important.

Wake up America!
So Osama Bin Laden is dead and many peoples reaction to this event implicates that they actually are indoctrinated to believe that Osama Bin Laden and terrorists in the middle east actually have relevance to our lives and somehow the downfall of them symbolizes the long fought war. Our gov't and social systems are the real terrorists, they are the ones who suppress us, exploit us, jail us, and ultimately abuse and demean our true human aspect. It is an outrage that people do not see our situation for really what it is, we are fooled by the media that we have to worry about some terrorists in the middle east and some guy in a cave that is now dead when in reality, the things the government is doing to so many people, not to mention our beautiful mother earth and it's many features, is so horrific and exploitative that they need something like terrorists or Osama Bin Laden to distract from what is really going on.
To submit to an exploitative power is disrespectful to our race. It is time where everyone realizes this and takes a collective effort to stand up to the one's in power and ultimately stand up for the human aspect of all of us.
No more will we be submissive to a government that controls us, demeans our true human value, dictates our freedom, suppresses our economic health, destroys our home (the earth), abuses our animals for the sake of profit and free market, suppress the use of mind expanding substances, perpetually pushes hard drugs by means of bringing them into the country and then busting the people who do them, and really lies to us in all aspects and brutally tortures those whom try to bring truth to the public. FUCK YOU AMERICAN GOVERNMENT!!
