As some of you may know, I’m a hiphop engineer by day. I know this is a chiptune / video game blog, but i gotta shout out this new kind of hip-hop thats evolving in the wake of the dubstep explosion. Artists are calling it “Dub-Hop” and I agree. this music is tough sounding, upbeat, and most importantly, new. I can’t wait for five years from now when we’re sick of music that sounds like this. right now tho, it’s fire.

A DJ’s tracklist is a closely guarded secret by most. The common criticism of the DJ simply “playing other people’s songs” is as persistent as it is frustrating for the hard working performer. Most DJs avoid this critique by playing newly released or underground remixes of popular songs. The average club goer can recognize the song’s melody, but these tracks different enough that most of the audience assumes the DJ is manipulating the track in some way. Most aren’t. The technical job of a DJ is playing pre-recorded songs in order to create a desired atmosphere, be it a club, lounge, wedding, or rave. The Art of DJing is in the techniques, media, style, and equipment used.
Dj CUTMAN shocked the DJ World today when he released his complete tracklist, for his upcoming performance at KATSUCON. The performance, a Dubstep and Video Game rave, will be held on Saturday. The convention held annually in National Harbor, Maryland. For more information, visit katsucon’s website.

When asked why he was doing this, Dj CUTMAN responded,
“People like hearing songs they know, right? Well why not let them hear the music before the show. All these tracks were downloaded for free from the internet anyway, might as well share the wealth.”
