Producer Convention debuted last year on Hostage Bass with their phenomenal release: P.A.R.T.Y & I Wanna Lay You On Your Back. A more than memorable entry into the world of bass with support from The Qemists, Zeds Dead, Monki & Mixmag and many more.

Leading their second charge is The Beat, a slighty trippy Bass meets Trap affair with thundering subs and an abundance of groove and hooks. There’s so many elements to this simple yet effecting tune it’s hard to pin down – just how we like it.

Technology takes us on a nostalgic journey back to where dance music began to the early Hip-House days.

The production is on point and the funk levels are high, there won’t be a still foot in the dance.

When you do some deep searching of tunes on Soundcloud you do find some gems out there. Most of these tunes in this mix can be downloaded for FREE from Soundcloud apart from a few promos that got sent my way.

This is my Bass Selection mix, a selection of Bass Music that stood out from the rest while searching the web. There’s some House Bass, bit of Garage and of course my favourite, Breakbeat. Hope you enjoy what i put together and don’t forget to spread the love !

This week in The Armory, we’re thrilled to welcome back one of our favorites, San Francisco’s DJ Icon. Happy 4th of July, Everyone!

Without doubt, DJ Icon has become an iconic figure in the U.S. dance music industry and beyond. With a career spanning almost two decades, she has captivated audiences the world over with her signature bass-heavy cross-genre Bass Music sound; magnetic stage presence, skillful DJ mixes and productions. It’s no wonder why she’s been dubbed one of the leading ladies of this domain.

Starting in 1996 at age 16, ICON diligently rose through the ranks of the San Francisco underground at a time when female DJs and promoters were few. In just a few years, her skills and growing reputation had already landed her numerous residencies in San Francisco, as well as a steady flow of stateside and international bookings. ICON has also gained success in radio and television in addition to rocking dancefloors. Among her accolades are releases on well-known labels, features in two TV series, a spot in Shejay’s “Top 100 Female DJs”, being voted one of San Francisco’s best in the Nitevibe “Top 10 DJ Dreamteam”, scoring a coveted sponsorship from Pioneer Pro DJ and building a huge fanbase on her social media pages and Soundcloud.

ICON has toured the world performing throughout the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe and Asia at world renowned clubs such as 1015 Folsom and Ruby Skye in San Francisco, Limelight in NYC, Fabric and Matter in London, and Avalon in LA; as well as world-class music festivals such as Coachella Music Festival, Ultra Music Festival, Burning Man and Fuel Festival in Singapore. ICON has shared stages with top tier artists such as Underworld, The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, Ladytron, Paul Oakenfold, Adam Freeland, Armand Van Helden, Deekline & Wizard, The Stanton Warriors, The Freestylers, Evil Nine, Elite Force, Uberzone, Bassbin Twins, DJ Icey, DJ Rap and many more.
