Never coming down. That was the message, the ethos of this ramshackle club of gloriously demented cerebral astropilots; Don't ever come back down to earth. Leave the fog and grime of reality behind and stay up here, up here where the air is clear and the last thing anybody has the time, or inclination, to do is talk about the mundane. Leave that for the unenlightened. Let them pay their taxes and press their shirts ready for the monday morning rat-race, we have far more important things on our radar. Life, love and music have no forms to fill in or regulatory bodies to appease. No, my friends, up here above the clouds is where we must stay for, as we know, time waits for no man and no time is all we have to fit it all in. This was an ethos held by a people whose only possessions were belief, and a dogged determination to realise their crazy and wonderful dreams.
This was the secret society for the vibrantly unhinged. A very special place where the visionary few would conveine to lock horns about the super-stellar issues that the greyfolk could never, or possibly would never, dare to take on. A place where ideological happiness is of paramount importance and where orderliness and regulation are treated with a disdain and a vitriol usually reserved only for the most vile and unpleasant of beasts. This was a place where the good, the great, the chic and the scruffy could all drink, sing and tell stories right through until their shaded glasses met the first pioneering rays of silver morning sunshine. This, my friends, is home...
Review: "Don Goliath's "Bagstep EP" (DDR030) is one of those innovative EPs showcasing how versatile Dubstep can get. The unique idea of creating Dubstep versions of celctic (Irish as well as Scottish) folk classics for all you drunkards longing to sing along was Don Goliath's motto when producing this madness. The concept is as simple as effective: he picked 4 of your grandpa's favourites such as "Old Skibbereen", "Scotland the Brave", "Drunken Sailor" and "Amazing Grace" having the melody played by a definitly non-sober Bagpipe section and then layering it with lofi mid range wobbleism - we therefor call it Bagstep. Overall production quality is high grade with that intense sub focus so you can blow-dry your hair right in front of the bass bins. Now let's get into the tunes: "Skibbereen Bagstep" is one of the melancolic minor tunes expressing Irish history as it is. It is an unmixable 3/4 waltz beat at unusual 154bpm, well dancebal though when one moves to the triplets. "Bagstep the brave" should be one of the sickest rebuilds of the Scottish national anthem making it Mel Gibson's signature tune if he had one. "Drunken Bagstep" is a Glitchfest version of the sailors anthem capable of getting you uberdrunk by listening alone, Arrrr! "Amazing Bagstep" is as religious as it gets making it a tune that'll certainly safe xamounts of lost souls. Enjoying the dancefloor got even easier now: drink out the bar, make your skirt fly and sing along to these (future) classics! Some will hate this release and some will love it, there barely is anything in between. All Dubstep Division crew salutes the latter as our fellow beerheadz! cheeeeeerz!"
