Tonight we’re throwing our “Blogwars” party featuring Classixx, Harvard Bass, Drop the Lime. The first of our interview series with the “Blogwars” headliners is featuring none other than Drop the Lime.

One of my first introductions to bass driven music was through one of the early Trouble and Bass EPs in 2007. I’ve been a big supporter of Trouble and Bass ever since, and was thrilled at the chance to chat with their fearless leader Luca Venezia aka Drop the Lime. Drop the Lime recently put out the massive “Devils Eyes” and “Set Me Free” releases, featuring amazing remixes from just about every big name DJ in the business. Check out the interview after the jump!

When our good friend Yo-Ev of Torro Torro asked if I wanted to interview DJ Sega, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. Admittedly I’m no expert on the Baltimore and Philly Club scenes, but I’ve always been a huge fan of the sound and energy that they bring. DJ Sega, is at the forefront of the Philly club scene, with his incredibly creative production style. I’ve heard Sega masterfully sample everything from Papa Roach and Nirvana to Taylor Swift and Family Guy. I’ve heard amazing things about his DJ sets, which apparently match the intensity and originality of his production. Everyone in Toronto should make sure to check him out alongside our good friends Torro Torro this Friday, February 19th at Eddie’s 860 B College St. West. Check out the Facebook event for more info, now here’s the interview.

In preparation for our big 4th year Anniversary party, we decided to have a quick chat with our headliner for the night, Foamo. I had the pleasure of meeting Foamo last year when he came to play at CODA here in Montreal. Since then Foamo has had a meteoric rise to the top, on the back of his flawless production and remixes. 2009 also saw him hold a residencies at Space in Ibiza, as well as the monthly Chew the Fat night in London. We talked about everything from his Drum and Bass roots, and upcoming production, to his not-so secret love for Dubstep.

A few weeks ago I posted ‘Bangkok’ by Boris Dlugosch. ‘Bangkok’ is without a doubt one of the biggest tracks out right now and is being played by absolutely everyone in the electro world. The hype surrounding this song before its release was crazy! Although Boris has been producing music for years, he was almost unknown in the blogosphere. Luckily, we were able to get him to answer some questions for us and give us a better understanding of who Boris Dlugosch is and how his production has evolved over the past 20 years. He certainly hasn’t shied away from any questions and has given us some detailed insight into his djing style and the process of releasing a track like ‘Bangkok.’ Enjoy!

The Cobrasnake is an international phenomenon. (Real name) Mark Hunter has captured hearts and minds across the world ever since he started his photoblog, www.thecobrasnake.com, originally named the Polaroid Scene. He is, to put it bluntly, the quintessential hipster; not exactly forthcoming in appearance, his wild hair, differing facial hair designs, (all various forms of scruffy) and vintage attire doesn’t exactly scream accomplished in any field other than smoking weed and channel surfing. But that’s the point.

A Montreal O.G. and Canadian legend, DJ Grandtheft (one half of the infamous Team Canada duo) has been doing this thing for almost a decade now: starting out DJing at the Bluedog Motel with partner D.R.
