NYC's top Dubstep + Drum and Bass + Reggae DJs broadcast live from

hosted by LionDub and DJ Courage, featuring rotating guests, live
sets, interviews and superstar appearances
with the blessing of Breakbeat Science and Konkrete Jungle. TNL

This week celebrate the release of Sub Swara's Coup d'Yah! Remixes
Vol. 2 with special guests Sharmaji of Sub Swara and Dave Q from Dub
War.
About the all new "Thursday Night Live" : On the fifth day he created
bass. And so it was, that on Thursdays the high priests of low
frequency would gather at the record store in Brooklyn to perform the
ancient rites of the turntable... It is in this solemn spirit of
praise to all that rumbles the jungle that the cult we call halcyon
presents our latest, soon to be habitual ritual, Thursday Night Live -
Thursdays from 6-9pm at halcyon the shop and broadcast live via
dailysession.com. Funky monks take note, Thursday Night Live is three
hours of
anything-but-silent devotion to the woofer ripping trinity of Drum and
Bass, Dubstep and Dub Reggae. Our own pied pontiffs, Liondub and DJ
Courage, administer the wax sacraments alongside a rotating cast of
cardinals representing NYC's holiest DJ diocese. Visiting saints make
miraculous appearances and as always, there's no tithe at the door and
plenty of alms for the poor, so you can save while being saved.

About the new release, "Coup d'Yah Remixes Vol. 2" by Sub Swara:
Fresh from gigs around the country and an onslaught of remix work, Sub
Swara drops the second volume of remixes from their debut album, Coup
d'Yah. Once again, the crew has hand-picked their favorite, most
inspiring, and dance-floor rocking peers to re-lick tunes from Coup,
and while Vol. 1 was a genre-spanning affair with the likes of
Ghislain Poirier and Fort Knox 5, Vol. 2 is largely for the dubstep
massive.
Dave Q brings his intense and pensive low-end finesse to
DeConstructing the Absence, stripping the tune to its core and slowing
it down to make this an essential eyes-down, emotion-fueled skanker.
Surya Dub‚ Kush Arora made an appearance on the original Coup d'Yah
and is back in full form with his hyper-paranoid ‚ Industrial
Espionage remix of Alabaster Dub. Built in parallel to his new LP The
Dread Bass Chronicles, the warped tri-continental percussion,
breathless pressure, and unabashed head-nod rhythms in this remix
leave no doubt: this is Kush at his finest.
Sub Swara's Low Motion label mate, Secret Agent Gel has been making a
healthy amount of noise with his new Bass Tourist imprint, driving the
interstitial spaces of bass-heavy dance music to new heights. His
take on Backwater Dub, (re-titled Breakwater Dub) furthers his
journey. 10bpm slower, with chopped synth stabs and re-imagined
percussion, this is a great roller for a funky dancefloor.
Sound designer extraordinaire, torchbearer of the glitch-hop movement
ill.Gates aka the Phat Conductor put his swing on ‚ Hi Fidelity, In
doing so, he's created a tear-your-face off dubstep smasher out of the
original vocal dancehall tune. Not for the faint of heart!
Head of Muti Music and SF mainstay Dov offered to share his talents on
Koli Stance, and how could we resist? Dov uproots Koli from the South
Asian diaspora, strapping it with otherworldly synths to capture a
forgotten future.
As a preclude to his fantastic Hypercolor EP, Brendan Angelides, aka
Eskmo, offers his ethereal take on Constructing the Absence, While
Dave Q's is a lesson in the beauty of focus, Eskmo's is a master class
in movement, as bubbling bass pushes the organic elements into an
ecstatic realm. Peak hour never had it so good!
RAVES & REVIEWS:
"A sonically crystalline collection, with every drum hit sharp as a
knife and each bassline deep as a canyon. But the real appeal lies in
the way it melds its dancehall and dubstep inclinations with Middle
Eastern melodies, subcontinental percussion and ragga-style toasting
into a spare, dark stew, with its precise arrangements keeping the
focus on the funk." - Timeout New York
"The album sounds like nothing you've heard before as Jamaican
dancehall, dhol, tabla and dholak all collide while being driven by
some of the lowest and scariest B-lines available to mankind. Indian
classical melodies do a dirty dance with the sound of killer robots
out of control, and percussion is layered upon percussion till you get
a Zakir Hussain meets Phil Spector wall of sound." - Rolling Stone
"Sub Swara deals with the most fascinating melt of sound - beats and
bass laced with the elemental voice of Juakali...pure heaven...The Sub
Swara mix was devastating - contender for mix of the year on the BBC
Radio 1 show for real." - Maryanne Hobbs, BBC Radio 1
"100% fire. Sub Swara manages to transfer the eclectic sounds of their
New York club night to tape, bleeding and blending dubstep, ragga,
dub, global elements and straight up dance music in a flawless manner
that's always fresh, never stale." - XLR8R Magazine
"A lively and diverse set of deep bass productions, Sub Swara's album
makes for an interesting listen, giving insight into how the sounds of
ragga, breakcore and dubstep translate on the other side of the
Atlantic. Sick." -Boomkat
"I think it's a great record. Sub Swara has captured a unique sound
that encompasses world beats, ragga, breaks, dubstep, all into one
pot." - edIT (the Glitch Mob)
