Our city just keeps bubbling with talent all across the electronic/bass heavy spectrum.  This week we bring you this dope

Gremlinz, the head nod bass specialist, returns to Channel One with another journey into his side of 140 bpm territory. Deep moody soulful and rugged all at the same time, we know Gremlinz rolled out this mix in his scarf, sippin chinese milk tea while having a Facebook chat with some scandalous girl and ordering a pair of japanese sneakers off the internet all at the same time… effortless!

We’ve been patiently waiting for Freeza to come with an all Grime mix for Channel One for months. In addition to being one of the leading Funky DJ’s in this country, Freeza Chin has been the THE preeminent Grime DJ in North America for years.

We have a theory at Channel One: Anybody who takes the time to painstakingly build, maintain and invest in their own soundsystem designed to produce chest shattering bass automatically gets our respect. Spyne and his 40hz crew is one such person.

Brooklyn NY’s Liondub has been a lynchpin for all stops along the hardcore continuum for close to 20 years. his label, Lion Dub International which he runs with Marcus Visionary is a conduit for the colliding cultures of Jamaican, British and North American electronic street music, binding them together as one.

He is also a seasoned international DJ, always loaded with the latest Jungle/Dnb, Dubstep, Dancehall and Foundation dubs. Exclusive for Channel One he delivers us his take on the current state of modern 140 bpm bass music with this deep introspective dubstep and beyond mix which he entitled simply: “Secrets“
