Completely tearing down the house in this weeks Essential Mix is London's bass monster, Dub producer, and runner of the highly regarded Sub Soldiers imprint (sister label to Dub Police), Caspa. When it comes to filthy greatness, this guys all over it. He shows off his unique style throughout this two hours as he flips through some roaring bass, catchy vocals, huge builds, and Badman Reggae. If your thinking about skipping this week due to a lack of Dub taste, don't! This mix might surprise you! With that being said, this mix is also not for the faint at heart, our more mild followers should listen with caution. If not, it's loudness button is on' as our good friend would say. Enjoy!

DJ $Jammie The Money, DJ Mike Mago, DJ Illvester, MC Atactic, and VJ's Ramkraak (Mark Assies and Roel Oude Nijhuis) are Boemsklatsch, the insane product of years of partnership and wild nights at the decks. The Netherlands based group has recently seen the free release of their 'Bonafied EP', which is nothing short of a fidget carnival with an open bar to say the least. The original version of the song is child-like and doesn't hesitate to get all Fisher-Price sounding, definitely some new sort of something going on. On remix duties is a full Netherlands based crew! Dem Slackers and Mightyfools hit you with wobbly original and eye opening takes on the track, while Eric De Man follows suit and brings you some B-More infused Dubstep action that wiggles subtely. Download the EP here, which also includes the free video of this insane bunch getting ultra colorful. Don't miss out on this Netherland gold, it surely pounds proper!
With so much buzz surrounding such a breakthrough sound mechanic, how could BBC Radio 1 and Pete Tong not offer 23 year old Christopher Mercer (AKA Rusko) a chance to show the world what he can mash together in a two hour period via Essential Mix. As we all know, no Average Joe gets an essential mix, and with that being said it's plain to see that Rusko has put in a solid amount of work to obtain the priviledges he has today. Born in Leeds in 1985 to a musical family, Rusko was constantly surrounded by a musical crowd, whether it was by his families pianos, guitars, banjo’s or saxophones, or in his later years when the heavy reggae and dub sound systems of Leeds took over. With support and a jump-start help from SupDub, Chris was introduced to the widespread style of Dub Step music, investing heaps of time in the connecting of himself and the music. The result: A production genius toting a Degree in Music Performance and an impressive array of original tracks and remixes that have been making people go off the walls. As a producer, Rusko has proven again and again that he's more than prepared to bring some heavy sound and to continue his reign of keeping it ruthless and absolutely insane. His sound continues to develop with different BPM’s that lean to Jungle, House, Hip-Hop & Electro, ensuring that you can immediately tell a Rusko track when you hear it. The Essential mix is an aural concussion to say the least, with rapturous winding bass wobbles that wiggle into your head with no intention of leaving. A ridiculous tracklisting boasting such collaborations as Crookers, Clipz, Caspa and Diplo is the icing 0n the cake, and at that the rest is up to you.
Longtime MildWild friend and Electro Einstein, Harrison Schaaf, has been tucked away on the East Coast in the studio for a little while only to (unsuprisingly) surface with more trembling, tearing, top-knotch workings. Schaaf, who recently released his debut, 'Zombie Schtyle EP', on Innerflight Music, has been crafting cutty compositions for many a day now, and is no new jack in the field of bringing crushing and clashing goodness to the ears of all. Previously remixing the likes of the, "Hungarian One Man Boyband" : Andro, the ever elusive, Fagget Fairys, and East Coast based girl duo, Blunt Force Trauma, you need not be worried about the quality of anything coming from this guy, Harrison's got it under control. With that, it is with much excitment that we exclusively bring to you two brand spankin' new Harrison Schaaf remixes, one completely reconstructing and electrifying Hip-Hop/R&B Superboy, Ne-Yo's, "Closer", and another crunchy version of British vocal majesty, Wiley's, "My Mistakes". Look out for future productions coming from the Schaaf man and be sure to pick up his tracks on Beatport.
