Taste, Wot Iz It?
I’ve had many conversations with friends about what we call “yeahrhh rock.” You know, the stuff that was sparked by the love-child of Eddie Vedder‘s and James Hetfield‘s vocal stylings?

Many of them seem to be legit/official (or semi-official) versions featuring prominent rappers like 50 Cent, Jim Jones,…

Our boy DJ Flack has been organizing a set of 2/dub/bass-step slammers for to rock the house at The Good Life in Boston on Wed: In the past year and a half, there’s been a small explosion of club nights in Boston devoted to bass-centric genres first spawned in the clubs of London: bassline, 2-step, and (most famously) dub step”…
