Hop in the bathtub with Dewey Decibel – Vancouver Glitch-Hop master and the man behind Glitch Hop Forum and Dubstep.ca. A genre-spanning DJ and producer, he is the best type of nerd, possessed of a quickly computing brain, a voracious appetite for beats and a complex, unique style that is at once delicate, thoughtful and hard as nails.
For the last decade, Dewey dB has been at the forefront of new music and technology. Inspired initially by the early hip hop/turntablism scene, Dewey found IDM while pursuing his electrical engineering degree and continues to be inspired by bass-heavy, glitchy sounds. He is one of the original founders of Toronto’s Dubslingers crew, a prolific force in Canadian dubstep for the last 4 years.
Presented for your amazement is his incredible studio mix, I Can Has Louder? Yes, you can! It smoothly blends melodic strings and synths with wicked bass, incorporating the catchy and the unpredictable, mashing downtempo ambiance with dancefloor beats and hip hop samples. He chops and glitches tracks into new forms, weaving in a bunch of his originals and remixes with the usual suspects – there is rarely only one track playing at a time. Multiple tracks from Opiuo, Pretty Lights and Vibesquad make it a West Coast womper, with recognizable cuts like PantyRaid‘s “Get The Money” and a bunch of underground heat from artists we’ll be hearing about next year. The weather’s gettin nice, here’s some cruisin’ music!
