Cassette NYC throws down in the month of June with two dope parties to remember. If you didn't know, Cassette's Natalie Weiss and Machinedrum have collaborated on a musical called Camp Wanatachi. Its a quirky affair boasting an entire score by Mr. Drum himself. After this Friday, June 4th's showing of the musical, Cassette and Bridget Regan present an after party of theatrical proportions featuring Machinedrum, Lando Kal of Lazersword & Numbers fame and Fishcerspooner's Casey Spooner. Check the facebook invite here!

Later this month, on June 26th, Percussion Lab & Cassette NYC team up to bring you Hyperdub's own dub police don LD alongside FaltyDL, Alex Incyde & the ever revolving resident Cassette tag team crew. This night, Lando kal, Eliot Lipp & Sepalcure will be holding it down from 11 - 12:30 so get there early.

We're extremely excited to host LD, one of dubstep's most elusive yet influential bass technicians. LD's sound is his own. Drawing on his roots, you can hear the drum pan sounds of Jamaica resonating throughout, flashes of Soca drums, subtle tribal nuances, and the ghost of Jungle reverberating in the warm, pulsating sub bass. Don't sleep - if you haven't heard this man work his magic on the decks yet, be sure to check his exclusive podcast for Big Up Magazine!

So basically folks, your month should go like this. Cassette. Dubwar 5 Year Anniversary (Featuring DMZ's Mala & Pokez). Cassette. We'll be the bookends to your summertime month of bass.

Enjoy this little slice of Cassette...

The one like Liondub presents the next installment of his legendary Two Sounds Clash Party this Friday at Southpaw. It's the record release party for Marcus Visionary's 'CARIB' LP on Liondub International Recordings, featuring a lineup of heavy hitting producers and DJ's from New York and beyond; this lineup is not to be missed.

On the dubstep side of things, Tectonic label boss and all around bass pressure badman Pinch will be joining Marcus Visionary and locals Iron Myke from Enkryption Projekt and Human? from, well, everywhere basically. If you go out in New York City, you've partied with Human? at some point.

Repping the roots/reggae/dancehall side of the spectrum will be Liondub and Jahdan Blackamoore, Livity Movements, Brooklyn's Silvacat Sounds, and Amadeus.

On Thursday, Sepalcure and Percussion Lab's own Praveen will be at Halcyon for the weekly Bless Up sessions, dropping heat for the online massive. Come through or check it out online at Halcyon Online.

YO! We just got that video from VICE Magazine! Percussion Lab made it! We're a legit press outlet, eligible for press releases and alla that. Nice.

So the deal is, VICE is working with Intel (bump bump bah BUM!) on a project that brings '...together the world’s leading and most relevant innovators in music, art, film, design and architecture through a common passion for creativity and technology.' What that means is, Vice is going to coopt our subculture on behalf of Intel and make a ton of money and I bet we'll get to go to a few free shows.

Yup! 'The event series kicks-off in New York City June 26th with installations and exhibits by Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Takeshi Murata, Karl Sadler, Mark Essen and Radical Friend, and performances by Mark Ronson, Interpol, Die Antwoord (first NYC show), Gang Gang Dance, N.A.S.A, during Sleigh Bells and Salem.'

Actually, that sounds pretty cool. Everyone loves Die Antwoord, right? I do. And I love free music and art, and I even love when they come together. No harm no foul. The series kicks off with the video of Richie Hawtin I've embedded above.

Thanks Vice! More info here.

Sepalcure joins Headhunter, Spatial, and the Dub War family at Love on Friday. Tix available now. Don't sleep on this one!

We'll be doing Seplacure-related updates all week, stay TUUUUUUNED!
