  • TMW021: I Only Dub to Fuckstep Mixtapes #4
    Sup gang? Look who's finally gotten his shit together and released a proper dubstep mixtape again.... I've been hard on the drum & bass bag lately as some might have noticed. The big difference this time around is that I've succumbed to peer pressure and made this available for download over at my Facebook-page (www.facebook.com/bassmisbruker). There's so much awesome going on in my life right now and I want to include you in it, but I feel that Soundcloud isn't the place. So come on over to Facebook, let's hook up and I'll tell you all about the awesomesauce. If you choose to like it, there's two freebie goodies up for download - this mix as well as my previous one "The Nocturnal Wondermix" finally made available.

    Stay safe, and go make some sweet dubstep lovin' !

    Your pal, Karl

  • TMW020: The Nocturnal Wondermix
    So, this was initially my submission for the Insomniac / Mixcloud-competition that just came and went. I didn't have enough time to make the deadline, but screw 'em. I'll play at Nocturnal Wonderland some other time. Cocky? Yes. True? Yes. Instead of wasting the mix on a competition that never worked out I felt that it was too sweet for euthanasia and instead deserved to have a go at your eardrums. So here ya go: A bite-sized chunk of awesome that will make your heart beat 174 times per minute. Per request of some of the producers this one's not available for download, but most of the tracks are available at your local smutpeddler.

    For the geeks out there - this was performed live on a Novation Launchpad with Ableton Live in three stitched parts. I've done some mastering after the fact, fixing fade envelopes and levels in general. There are no effects applied whatsoever to any transitions or tracks - the ones you hear are in the tunes. Global quantization is set to 1/8, and I've processed the whole shebang in PE before uploading.

  • TMW019: The Half-Step Happy Hour
    Happy-happy-joy-joy! Here's a new drumstep mix for y'all, stuffed full of grimey breakbeat action guaranteed to fuck your shit up proper. I've been working on it for a looong time so it feels good to finally share some of these insane tunes with you guys!! I've been holding out on you for the past two weeks waiting for new releases that I had to drop or die. I'm normally an impatient little fucker, so I'm proud of not being premature for once (da-dum-tsh) Big thanks go out to Kannamix and Gawa Recordings for the support. You rawk my bedroom sock.

    Don't know what to listen to after this mix has had it's way with you? Head on over to Beatport and pick up the latest release on Gawa: Kannamix' sick EP "Madness Descension". Do it now, you'll thank me later: http://tinyurl.com/madnessdescension

    UPDATE: About the whole "like-my-FB-to-download-this-mix" thing... I changed my mind after starting to feel like the fat and snotty kid that only shares his candy with others if they agree to pay him a compliment. You know, having to say shit like "Karl is my best friend. He's the coolest kid in the galaxy and does not look fat at all" in order to get a peanutbutter-cup. You get the idea. So I just enabled the download, since we all know that sharing is caring. Unless you're sharing HIV, because that wouldn't be very caring at all.

    Hugs & Drugs from your pal Karl!

  • TMW016: The Pants-Party Mashup
    You are hereby cordially invited to the Pants Party - a sweaty sleepover where drumstep and drum&bass get it on like Incest Kong. Most of the 28 tracks are brand spanking new (pun intended) and include fresh cuts from the likes of Reso / Evol Intent, Feint, Excision & Downlink, Figure, xKore, Syrebral, Dirty Talk / KPC, Dodge & Fuski, and Flux Pavilion. Tantrum Desire make an appearance in form of a mashup titled "Reach For The Smoker" where their latest hit "Reach (Push The Feeling)" gets freaky with Shimon & Sparfunk's "The Smoker". It's Drum&Bass that gets the most attention at this party, but Drumstep - being the evil bastard child - sneaks in for surprise attacks every now and then. Please note that The Pants Party is an ironic name, seeing as pants are neither encouraged nor welcome at this gangbang of bass. RSVP as soon as possible in order to get your 174 on.

About ThisMeansWAR!

From the publisher's feed

ThismeansWAR! is a thirty-something squarepusher and mashup-artist from Oslo that feels weird when having to write in third person. Growing up in a family of jazz musicians he got an early start fiddling with synthesizers and drum machines in his dads studio. When he got his sticky fingers on a Casio FZ-1 sampler at age eleven his fate as a music geek was sealed. After being introduced to the harder side of the drum&bass genre - "neurofunk" at the turn of the century there was no going back. He has spent the past eight years playing and promoting DNB-nights in Oslo as well as running the label "Dub Monkey Records" alongside Tony Anthem from "Future Prophecies".
