Held at the dope new venue <a href=\"http:\/\/publicsf.com\/\">Public Works<\/a>, it was a record release party for <em>Trigger<\/em> the latest out of the electronic\/hip hop\/dubstep\/desi beat making duo, <a href=\"http:\/\/subswara.com\/\">Sub Swara<\/a>. Originating from a NYC club night, Dhruva Ganesan and Dave Sharma have turned Sub Swara into an electronic dubstep music touring machine. Performing that night were also San Francisco&#8217;s own <a href=\"http:\/\/suryadub.ning.com\/\">Surya Dub<\/a> DJs <a href=\"http:\/\/kusharora.com\/\">Kush Arora<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/maneeshthetwister\">Maneesh the Twister<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/djjimmylove\">Jimmy Love<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/bansuri.net\/solunamar\/djamar.html\">DJ Amar<\/a>. Almost all of these folks are tied in with the sound barrier breaking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dhamaalsf.com\/\">Dhamaal Soundsystem<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>But enough about the party that you missed. Let me give you something to listen to on this Music Monday. Check out the <em>Triggers Mixtape Volume 2<\/em>, opening up with a track co-writ by Dead Prez. That&#8217;s right, it&#8217;s a Dead Prez meets Sub Swara &#8211; an unlikely combo but somehow it works. Also check out minute 9.00 for the Ceelo remix, my personal fave.<\/p>\n\n<p><object height=\"81\" width=\"100%\"> <param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/player.soundcloud.com\/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F8470603\"><\/param> <param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param> <embed allowscriptaccess=\"always\" height=\"81\" src=\"http:\/\/player.soundcloud.com\/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F8470603\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"100%\"><\/embed> <\/object>  <span><a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/sub-swara\/sub-swara-triggers-mixtape-vol-2\">Sub Swara &#8212; Triggers Mixtape Vol 2<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/sub-swara\">Sub Swara<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>The above Mixtape is the second in what I can only imagine to be a series &#8211; bookmark the <a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/sub-swara\">Sub Swara soundcloud page<\/a> to keep track of other mixes that may be coming from their crew.

There is more bass, more beats, amazing obscure dancehall and reggae finds that blend seamlessly with bhangra and deep bass beats. I&#8217;m a big fan of dubstep and love how this team of musicians can spin to take listeners on an audio adventure.<\/p>\n\n<p>I&#8217;m sure Sub Swara will be doing a show near you very soon <a href=\"http:\/\/subswara.com\/shows\/\">(looks like CT, NY and CO are in luck)<\/a>. Keep your eye on <a href=\"http:\/\/subswara.com\/\">their website<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/subswara\">their twitter<\/a> to keep posted on when the bass goes boom.<!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending one of the most bass booming dance frenzy inducing parties I&#8217;ve been to since moving to the Bay area.
