Traptastic! Hungarian, twin brothers Dublic have done it again. DJs and producers from the underground scene of Budapest and not tying themselves to a particular genre, here we have 2 very different mashups. ‘Knas Cannon’ is a rude hair raiser to get the floor jumping, while ‘Gravel Pit’ Intro is a euphoric piece of ambient bass.
As if that wasn’t enough, they have unleashed their ‘Spring Shot’ mixtape which included a mammoth 70 tracks in 53mins. Proper, grimy, trap, sunshine music! This has got to be heard.

Here at LSM HQ we are very excited to see the return of the Rogue Element! On the verge of sending out a search warrant, we catch up with the duo to see what they’ve been up to. Yes, there are now 2 rogues – Ben Medcalf and James Tomlinson.
So Ben…where have you been? What have you been doing?
I relocated to Madrid in 2011 to live with my girlfriend who is Spanish. Prior to that in London I’d been moving more into composing broadcast music and engineering and production – essentially away from DJing, as although i love playing out I was getting tired of not being around at weekends and all the traveling about. I was also working on Disco of Doom for a while as a club project but we’ve since disbanded that.
So the Rogue Element is now a duo – how did you two crazy cats get together?
I was having a chat with Mark at Lot49 records about doing a sample pack and the idea of doing some tracks for his label came up. I wondered how much point there was as most of the revenue these days is generated by DJing – which I didn’t really want to do – and as I make music for a job I don’t really have the time to do it just for fun. I had thought about getting someone in to DJ for a while and suggested it to Mark who said he knew James and said that he can smash the club to bits – I said lets go and there you have it.
How would you describe your new sound?
I’d say it’s a little more held down than when I was an angry young man – but not much to be honest. Perhaps a little more techy but still fairly rocking.
How do you describe what you do when meeting new people?
Hmm, depends where I am. If I’m anywhere except a club, I shake hands and start a conversation like anyone else. If I’m in a club, I shake hands, and pretend to be able to hear what they’re saying by doing the ‘club nod’ – that is, time my gestures of agreement to coincide with when their lips stop moving. Come on, you know you do it as well.
Who is your all time hero and why?
Musically it would have to be The Chemical Brothers, simply because out of all those nineties supergroups they are the only ones still standing. I know the Prodigy have made a comeback but they are essentially doing the same thing they’ve always done – nothing wrong with that – the CBs have consistently changed and developed their sound and taken risks creatively and remained relevant the whole time, plus they’ve got massive commercial appeal but are still highly credible. An unparalleled achievement in electronic music really.
What’s your most prized possession?
Hmm I don’t really have many to choose from. I don’t have alot of gadgets, I don’t drive a car here or anything. If I had to choose one it would have to be my studio computer (a top of the range iMac) as it allows me to do my work.
What’s the coolest thing you own?
Same thing. Or maybe my red Y-3 ‘Boxing’ trainers.
And the geekiest thing?
Er… probably the computer still. Actually if I’m honest it’s probably the Xbox my girlfriend bought me for Christmas. Yes you read that right, my GF bought me an xbox. How cool is she?
What is your most embarrassing claim to fame?
Not exactly a claim to fame outside of Horndean Middle School, but when i was about 12 we had to watch a very graphic video in sex education of a woman giving birth. When the video finished at the end of the class everyone got up to leave and I fainted. Just fucking stacked it right there on the table. Obviously that wasn’t something I was allowed to forget about easily.
Thanks for your time Ben, we look forward to seeing what you have in store for us in 2013.
As rare as hen’s teeth! Deekline, Ed Solo and Philly Blunt open up the ‘Countdown Latch’ which until recently was a hidden treasure. Sampling the massive ‘Latch feat. Sam Smith’ from Disclosure in 2012, it’s focal vocal and big bassline make for perfect ruckus material.
Buy the brand new album Bounce ‘n’ Shake from Beatport NOW:
Seriously classy broken melter in the form of a re-edit of Cassius’ loop swooping tactics from Donna Summer’s “If it hurts just a little”. A1 beat slicer A Skillz raises the production bar with elegant pans, smart sweeps and a hot bubbling groove loaded with funkystrutt that will set your floor alight.
Were you an indie kid of the nineties? If you were an indie boy, you would probably tend to be skinny, with messy hair and a fringe. The hair must not be confused with emo hair, which is styled using disturbing quantaties of gel, wax, mousse and hairspray. Indie boys just can’t be arsed to brush. Indie boys prefer fairly loose fitting denim as opposed to the tight, skinny jeans of the emo. A plain t-shirt would be very popular, along with ancient battered converse. Indie Girls look not a million miles away from indie boys, having bedraggled often homecut hair and not caring so much about their appearance but scrub up well when they try. Dress code is jeans, comfy and casual t-shirts and similar footwear as the boys.
If you fall into either of those categories you may like this mix from our very own closet indie kid and blog editor Fifties. Expect rock and dance anthems from the nighties, noughties and beyond! We have a limited number of CDs (good for long drives!) to give away, so if you want one please email your postal address to louise.juicebox@gmail.com
