So, since there was no post yesterday, both these ones are short, and I'm low on time, I'll be making this double-up post today. First off! You remember Zomboy right? He made that Bass Cannon remix that rivaled the original big time, and he recently released one of the tunes from his new EP on UKF. That one's called Organ Donor, search for it! Anyway, I like how it's never really distinct whether it's drumstep or dubstep, and the sound is kinda like, the Tomba Raindrops remix or something Skrillex might cook up.
Nostalgia released this lil' thing like, yesterday? 2 days ago? Not sure, is sounding reeeal promising tho. We're always fans of some Nostalgia action amirite? Ye.
Gotta scoot, stay tuned!
/Lekroth thats right, stay tuned for the upcoming terravita interview!!1 /end secret

BASSPOLICE is proud to announce it's first interview!
We got a chance to ask some (pretty retarded) questions to Nostalgia, to promote his new 3k mix! He released this when he reached 3,000 likes on facebook, a well earned feat. The interview takes up a lot of post space so let me just say that we love this mix and look forward to future tunes from Nostalgia!
(Tracklist now in comments section)
B - First off, we'll start with the obligatory, weak question, what got
you into electronic music production?
N - Sub woofers. Well, Limewire. Like 6 years ago I went to a “Black Friday” sale at Best Buy with my bro and dad to pick up 2x 12” subs and an amp. The night before that I had downloaded any song with the word “Bass” in it so I could test ‘em out when they were installed. So we got there at 4am, got in at 5 or 6 (I don’t remember) and my EDM music career started at 7am with “Drumsound and Simon Bassline Smith - Jungleist (Twisted Individual remix).” First drum and bass song I had ever heard, still my favorite.
B - You've made a pretty dope mix here, with a whole lotta tracks we
haven't heard and great classics alike. What, if any, inspiration did
you use for this mix?
N - The mix is kind of reactionary to close-minded dubstep fans. I’m not angry at anyone, but I treat my mixes often as “what can I get away with in a dubstep set” lol. I am IN LOVE with the 100-110 stuff that’s in there, that’s not moombaton. It doesn’t have a name I guess but its so funky and still heavy, gets me movin’ like nothin’ else.
B - I'll let the likes of Borgore influence a question here. What would
you do if you was like, filthy rich?
N - Ha, I think we’ve all seen the Buygore interviews... Um, trick out my 98’ Saturn SC2 (Pearl). Buy a Burberry jacket for my girlfriend. And get a house so I don’t have to make tunes on headphones most of the time :/ Oh, and get Jonathan Gering some more V’s.
B - As a follow-up, which live show has been your wildest one to date?
N - Well, at the show I just played in DC there was a patio with 2 foam guns haha. But I think the craziest show so far was in St. Louis booked with the Wolf Pack. I had a great opener, DJ Belly, who brought the vibes up perfectly for my set. Then I played, and I’ve never jumped around so much haha, had to take a min or two breather against the wall after my set. And Antiserum went on after me so that night rocked :]
B - What current projects are you working on? And, you got anything
lined up with any other artists at the moment?
N - Lots of tunes to finish (about 7). One of them is a collab with Halo Nova called “Code Name Polar Bear” haha, big tune. I’m also working on some stuff for school since I goto school for production.
B - For the enthusiasts (me included), what gear/DAW's do you enforce
while creating bangers?
N - FL Studio 10 DONT HATE! haha, but yea, I know all the tricks with FL so it works really well. I got KRK Rokit 8’s for monitors, Ion Desk Rocker lil monitors for a different speaker environment, a Rain recording desktop computer (its big), Akai MPK 25 keyboard, Native Instruments Audio Kontrol 1 interface. NI Massive, Sytrus, Zeta +, smamples n such.
B - I know The Hero has gotten a lot of recognition (featured in one of
our posts as well!) and for good reasons. Of your own songs, which
would you feel is the one you prefer the most?
N - Prefer the most eh? Probably the most recent creation, I get sick of songs quick because I play ‘em so much. Though, I always enjoy listning to “Stop Killing Them” (google that shiz).
B - Out of every musician in the game right now, which one('s) would
you want to tour with the most?
N - Vaski and/or Dirty Talk ‘cause I know um so I know it’d be fun. All my DJ idols are from my DnB days so I can’t think of anyone else.
B - If you had to bring three goats with you into space, what would
you name them?
N - I feel like this assumes I’m already going into space (RE: Betamorph recordings) but Terry, Phil, and Tuesday. A goat named Tuesday could bring about so many hilarious situations.
B - If you're still here, and haven't left the keyboard to spite our
stupid questions, got any thing to say to the fans before you go?
N - Appreciate the most music you can. There’s good music in every genre and “bad” tunes may just need a better setting. Shouts to Jonathan Gering, Dirty Talk, Vaski, Oblivion, Bass Violator, Xpresive, Devnik, Sub Antix, Cottonmouth, Total Recal, Widelows, Pete Flex, Stu, Arron O., TC Dubstep, the Twin Cities scene, my mom, JC, and everyone I forgot. Thnx and support your local Nostalgia :]
And big thanks to you for taking some time to answer our questions!
/Lekroth it's probably obvious that we could work a bit more on our interview skills lol

Hell, it's about time! As promised earlier, this is a post with a theme! The theme is Zelda. So here's what's going to go down, I'll post the two best Zelda dubstep remixes that I know of, and I'll be damned if anyone manages to go hater-mode on 'em
Ephixa - Lost Woods Dubstep Remix. The guys familiar with Zelda know this song by heart, I'm sure. This remix just takes it to another level, it manages to keep the epic aura and the originality while still delivering a crisp dubstep sound to it. The production quality just seals the deal and makes the song amazing, eye-watering and banging!
I found the preview to this back in late 2010, it almost made me fall of my chair in surprise, and I eagerly awaited the full release for what felt like an eternity. The song is called The Hero and is made by Nostalgia, a producer who deserves a lot more attention in the dubstep scene. The description is pretty much the same as for the song above, i.e - an absolutely crispy bass bomb!
