The State Room in Albany NY is an awesome place to have a Wedding, with all the decor and columns. However, it is a tough place for a DJ to set up. Here is a video of what we did recently at a wedding there, minus an additional tripod for dance lights on the other side.
We went for a very low-key, simple, nice and clean set up without the boxy speaker club feel to it. The speakers are Bose L1-M2s; the symmetrical black towers on either side of the head table that look like black 2x4s. They are discrete and really get the job done to boot!
We moved the speakers to the center, away from the DJ set up.
Skrillex is Making Dubstep Crossover into The Mainstream
Official Top 100 Dubstep song list
Dubstep Defined– If you are not really familiar with Dubstep music, get ready, because it is starting to make an impact on the charts. Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music, best described as a robotic remix sound with overwhelming wobbley bass lines and reverberant drum patterns with clipped samples featuring occasional vocals in strategic places. Dubstep has become a very trending variety of music of late and is crossovering into movie soundtracks, as well as television commericals.
Making Mainsteam Waves – Dubstep and tracks with Dubstep influence are now significantly making their presence felt the Billboard hot 100 charts. This means this brand of music is a genre now making mainstream appeal, whether the undergroud fans like it or not. Back in 2008, another artist, deadmau5 saw three of his tracks (all collaborations as much of Dubstep songs are) “Move for Me” and “I Remember” with Kaskade; “Ghosts N Stuff” with Rob Swire, reach number-one on Billboard’s Hot Dance Airplay chart. This year, 2012, marked the first year we really saw Dubstep tracks holding ground and grabbing mainstream attention, with one of its biggest artists, Skrillex, being nominated for five different categories in the Grammies, and actually winning 3 of them.
We topped the list with the big Skrillex crossover track “Bangerang! feat. Sirah” which has topped the national charts for a number of weeks now in March 2012, finding its way onto top 40 pop playlists everywhere.
Here is the Top 100 Dubstep list that I have compiled of the top 100 Dubstep songs by 2012, by looking at multiple fan-favorite lists online. If you see something you really feel is missing, feel free to add below in the comment section.
