The Armory Podcast

Since many of you are headed to that thing in the desert, we’ve decided to post this week’s Armory Podcast a few days early. We owe our pal, Mancub, a special thanks for introducing us to this week’s talented guest, Heather M out of Brooklyn. This mix was recorded live at the renowned Electric Forest Festival in Michigan earlier this summer and we're loving it. Press play. Get down.

Heather M goes after "Feel Good" music! ​Native Texan turned Brooklynite, Heather M’s love affair with music started at an early age. She began playing the piano and the alto saxophone by the time she was 12, and her love of music blossomed through her teen years and into her early 20’s when she dove head first into the world of deejaying.

Heather M began her Career as a commercial House artist, making radio friendly songs and deejaying for high profile artists like opening for Justin Timberlake in LA for his Suit & Tie release etc. In 2014, She found the underground scene. This changed her entire persona and music style to strictly Tech House/House/Deep House genres. Now respected as one of NYC’s rising players, Heather M is Co founder of the new famed event "Risky Business”, a Tech House movement that combines an EDM festival vibe with an underground environment; attracting both commercial and underground club goers. She's becoming a staple in the underground scene and working with well-known promoters around the globe. She's been written up in Vice, Dancing Astronaut, Edm Sauce, Edm Network, Magnetic Mag, After Ellen, and she has releases on labels Armada, Cr2, Zulu, Big Alliance, Crowd and Solmatic.

Applying the same passion for Breaking into DJing was a natural progression, since 06 Bebe has been dropping serious basslines. He has rocked at events such as Burning Man, In Beat We Trust, Future Sound Of Breaks,Earth Dance, 9 Mile Music Festival, and has shared stages with the likes of DJ Icey, Stanton Warriors, FreQ Nasty, Baby Anne, Deekline, Freestylers, Lady Waks, Mutant Breakz, and many more.He has played in countries such as Puerto Rico, Russia, Brazil, and Japan.

In addition to spinning on his head and on the decks , Bebe has become a super promoter producing several of his own independent brand of events all over the World.His popular events series Breaks Yo! happen monthly in Miami.

Months of blood, sweat, tears and fears over this DJ mix but music is about freedom of expression so this is my personal tribute to all the talented blessed souls that have influenced me and that are sadly no longer with us. Keep enjoying and spreading the word on the originals but if bass and beats float your boat then maybe this mix is a way of enjoying these heroes of ours in a different way.

R.I.P to all the amazing talented artists on here, missed but never ever forgotten. xx

Love, light and bass,

Jason Laidback

They are Ryan Sinatra & Jake Broffman. Together they form Dusty Bits and they’re this week’s special guests on The Armory Podcast. Big thanks to our pal, Eddie Light, for lining them up for us.

When Notixx’s heavy bass aesthetic collided with Brother Bear’s booty music, something beautiful happened. Dusty Bits emerged as a healthy hybrid of bass house and breaks with eclectic influences varying from Baltimore club to dubstep, breaking down the barriers of bass music as we know it. Though they formed less than a year ago, the Buffalo-based DJ/production duo comprised of Ryan Sinatra and Jake Broffman have already proven they’re a force to be reckoned with. They’ve got an EDM.comrelease and a performance at Webster Hall in NYC under their belt and have already garnered the support of Destructo, Griz, Henry Fong, Wuki and the Chainsmokers, to name a few. Expect Dusty Bits to continue pushing the envelope in dance music and amping up your squad in the nights to come.
