Lock In Review #1: Gentleman's Club Collections Vol. 2
gentlemensclubuk

The Gentleman’s Club (GC) has returned to Lock In with their second collection of high energy, tear out dubstep. The GC crew, consisting of Soloman, Coffi and 50 Carrot invite Watson, P0gman, Tsuruda, and Bukez Finezt to create yet another hardcore journey through the gear-grinding sounds reminiscent of the 2008 influx of harsh wobbles, bit-crushers and mosh-pit inducing rhythms and bass-lines.

Check out the full mix of Gentleman's Club Collections Vol. 2 on Lock In:

With most of the tracks running between 140 and 145 BPM, they are sticking predominantly to their guns. There is however a track which spins at 87 BPM called New Presidents, a solid drumstep track from the GC crew. The last track is what appears to be a bonus song, Stay Hydrated, which sounds like it was stripped from an old video game, given the GameBoy was included with a sub-woofer.

A highlight track on the album is La Flame from Tsuruda and Coffi. In the mix it brings a refreshing, sub-heavy flavour to the otherwise mid-range chaos found throughout the collection. It stands as a good example for what can be found in some of the other songs, such as You, by 50 Carrot. You begins as a mellow garage track and then swipes the rug from under your feet, flipping into 50 Carrot’s trademark dubstep carnage. It then progresses into the same mellow vibe as before, with one more dark tantrum before finally settling down. This a tendency throughout the collection. The between-drop sections, introductions and ends stand out as melodic and sometimes soothing, mostly to be savagely interrupted by the carefully constructed, gut wrenching mid-range synths.

Not only is there a new wave of mellow strung throughout the songs, but trap music has definitely found its way into the Gentlemen’s Club voice as well. Almighty Dollar (Ft. Watson) is less of a dubstep/trap fusion and more of a song with trap sections, which later turn into destructive dubstep. The bridge is great and the combination works solidly. The rhythms of both genres are highly complementary, one asking for more drive and the other asking to slow down and create space.

Overall, the collection is solid for those of you looking to destroy the brains of your audience and deny them the privilege of knowing what is happening, where they are, or what they should be doing with their lives, apart from creating mosh pits and pretending to be a tank.

The Gentleman's Club Collections Vol. 2 is available on their Bandcamp.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
