I only started the <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/tag\/get-it\/\">Get It<\/a> series last November with <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2018\/11\/pearsall-presents-get-it-001-get-rugged-house-techno-mix\/\">Get Rugged<\/a>, my selection of rugged house tracks, and eight months later I have already recorded eight editions, covering styles such as electro, jungle, breakbeat hardcore, grime, and breaks.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Quick note: the next mix will be jungle, with a special theme, and then the 10th mix will be a very special anniversary edition) <\/em><\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s happening in Get It 008? This mix is the first episode in the series devoted to dubstep; in fact it&#8217;s my first<a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/mixes-gallery\/dubstep-gallery\/\"> dubstep<\/a> mix since 2016&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2016\/03\/pearsall-presents-10-steps-a-sarantis-tribute-dubstep-the-780-project-part-11\/\">10 Steps: A Sarantis Tribute<\/a>. Three years is quite a while! I&#8217;ve had various ideas for dubstep mixes in the time since (another <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2015\/03\/pearsall-in-berlin-my-tribute-to-mala-dubstep-legend\/\">Mala tribute<\/a>, or a third <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2016\/01\/pearsall-presents-drop-10-a-matty-g-tribute-part-2-dubstep\/\">Matty G tribute<\/a>, for example), but have just not got around to it yet, so really this one is quite overdue.<\/p>\n<p>So my relationship with dubstep is kind of an interesting thing;  there was a period of a couple years from probably around 2007 to about 2012 where dubstep was the genre that I listened to most often, both my own mixes and those of other people, where I was buying vinyl regularly. I wasn&#8217;t actually going out to listen to it in clubs that often, because I had sort of lost the taste for clubbing, but on my headphones or at home? All the time.<\/p>\n<p>However, that passion just sort of &#8230; dissolved, not in the way that I started hating the music or anything like that, but more that just slowly it shifted away from being my go-to music. Ever since then I&#8217;ve sort of dipped my toes in and out of the music &#8211; I still listen to the mixes I did in the past fairly regularly, I check out new tunes and mixes on Soundcloud, and I still buy the odd vinyl release &#8211; but to be honest I kind of lost track of the minutiae of the scene. Who&#8217;s doing what, what are the big releases, what&#8217;s changing, what&#8217;s staying the same &#8211; that kind of stuff. Honestly, no clue about any of that. <\/p>\n<p>Which, if I think about it, is probably an advantage when it came to doing this mix &#8211; I&#8217;m not bound by needing to play the most upfront stuff or avoid playing things that are quote-unquote &#8216;rinsed&#8217;, so I could just put together a selection of tunes that I&#8217;ve enjoyed enough to buy over the last four or so years.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing that has happened over time is that my taste in dubstep has become more specific; or you could even say more refined. I really don&#8217;t listen to the kind of music I featured on the <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/tag\/wobble-city\/\">Wobble City mixes<\/a> &#8211; that mid-range blaring, super heavy aggressive stuff just doesn&#8217;t do it for me now in the same way it used to.<\/p>\n<p>The dubstep that I still <em>do<\/em> like is the music that lives up to the promise of the genre&#8217;s name &#8211; bass-heavy, deep and mysterious, like being wrapped in a low-end cocoon. That was pretty much what I wanted to achieve with this mix; to me the deeper side of dubstep has always been excellent music for summer walks; headphones on, bass up, eyes alert.<\/p>\n<p>40 minutes is not much time for a mix, but what I wanted to achieve in this time frame was to show off the musical diversity of real dubstep &#8211; so this mix starts with Om Unit&#8217;s spaced-out &#8216;Dark Vistas&#8217; before moving through several tracks of crunchy bass before veering off into the cosmic storm of Kromestar&#8217;s &#8216;Davinchi Kode&#8217; which leads immediately into the dubstep \/ jungle \/ acid crossover from King Kutlass on Bristol&#8217;s excellent Western Lore label. From there it&#8217;s into a section of bass-heavy Jamaican-influenced steppas from V.I.V.E.K, J:Kenzo, Moresounds, and Compa, climaxing with TMSV&#8217;s murderous Mad Cobra sampling &#8216;Funeral Bill&#8217;; then it&#8217;s off in another direction entirely with the explosive synths of Joker&#8217;s &#8216;Mad Night&#8217;, before settling down again with the powerfully melancholic sounds of Eva808 and Headland.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pearsall presents Get It 008: Get Below right-click, save as to download this free mp3 mix Mixed in Berlin, June 2019100% Vinyl(40:00, 96.3 MB, 320 KBPS MP3) Cue fileLarger Cover Direct link to the mix:https:\/\/mixes-upload.pearsall.workers.dev\/mixes\/getit8\/Pearsall-GetIt008-GetBelow.mp3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[32,221],"class_list":["post-4699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mixes","tag-dubstep","tag-get-it"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4699"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4699\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5984,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4699\/revisions\/5984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
