After realizing both the overwhelming commitment of a print magazine and the lack of original content that is inherent with a blog, we decided to combine the two into one website.

Although the online magazine is still under construction, we plan to use this aspect as a means of building on interviews and showcasing original content within a magazine layout. This online magazine venture will also grant us a bit more of a license to reblog more time sensitive events / releases on the blog half, since we will have another outlet for bigger, more timeless features in the magazine.

The blog will be updated on a more frequent basis and will feature both our posts and the best posts from other blogs we have relationships with. Although the content /themes will be similar to our old website (Jerk Slow / Move Fast), the speed and frequency of posts will be cranked to 11. Another new feature to make note of is the categories listed on the top of the website, this allows you to group posts within a specific theme (such as art, music, fashion, design, etc.).

Another novel feature of the site is "Bonus Video and Pictures", although the link for the page is small it's volume will be anything but. The page will be used as a Tumblr account within the site and as a folder for unused photos and videos from previous blog posts / magazine articles. So be sure to check out this page periodically for some great, rapid fire, content that wasn't substantial enough to write about.

For now the site can by accessed from dropmagazine.ca/blog , but stay tuned for developments on a dropmagazine.ca splash page that will have direct links for the blog, the magazine and the bonus videos and pictures page. Also be sure to check us out on Facebook!

AFTERLIFE OUT NOW 

bitly.ws/CMZ9

Since launching the Datsik brand, Troy Beetles continues to evolve as a solo artist all the while pushing his beloved bass music world to new lengths, both on a personal artistry level and as a genre as a whole. From bedroom producer to chart-topping artist, internationally touring act, and owner and founder of the enterprising Firepower Records, Datsik is poised to make bass music the sound of the future with his recent Down 4 My Ninjas EP (Nov. 2014 / Firepower Records) and upcoming release Smoke Bomb ft. Snoop Dogg (Nov. 2015 / Ultra Records). 

Datsik took his initial steps into global dominance in 2009 with his first official release, the Nuke ‘Em EP, which set the new precedence of the future of dubstep and bass music. Immediately following that was the Boom EP featuring Excision and the legendary Flux Pavilion as collaborators. In that same year, Datsik claimed 10 Beatport #1 releases. Additionally, he has also released massive remixes for dance music icons Skrillex, Diplo, Kaskade, and Zedd, as well as two collaborations with Bassnectar and two more with Diplo on his Express Yourself EP. He has also remixed artists from the mainstream pop world and hip-hop spheres such as Coldplay, Lil Wayne, MGMT, Linkin Park, Wu-Tang Clan, one of the biggest influences on his sound, and, most recently, Lana Del Rey.

Nonetheless, Vitamin D, his debut artist album released on Dim Mak Records in 2012, remains his gleaming trophy of work. Rightfully so, as Vitamin D was the first project to illustrate the full spectrum of Datsik’s production cannon and to give glimpses of the artist’s potential as a producer and songwriter. Vitamin D was the first major milestone of many to come in the Datsik storyline. The next chapter came in 2013 in the form of a two-part release, the Cold Blooded EP and the corresponding Let It Burn full-length album, both released on Firepower. While shorter in length, Cold Blooded packs as much a punch as big brother Let It Burn. Hand in hand, Cold Blooded and Let It Burn comprise the knockout one-two punch in Datsik’s artillery.

Datsik stands at a point of transition with his recent EP Down 4 My Ninjas. It exemplifies a more mature Datsik, both in sound and in vision, as it sees the producer taking vast steps outside of dubstep and deeper into his ever-burning fondness for hip-hop. In essence, it is his love letter to the hip-hop and bass music genres and sees a full circle for Datsik as it combines the best of both worlds. Featuring collaborations with DJ Paul of renowned Southern rap group Three 6 Mafia and the legendary KRS-One, Down 4 My Ninjas sees Datsik keeping one foot in bass and one foot in hip-hop and, for the first time ever, sees the artist pairing his original productions with bona fide, universally celebrated members of the rap world. 

With Down 4 My Ninjas in tow and a hefty supporting tour scheduled for 2015, expectations are higher than they’ve ever been for Datsik. Beetles welcomes the challenge, though. It’s what’s kept him developing since those bedroom producer days, and it’s what verifies Datsik as one of the leading figures in the bass music scene of today and tomorrow.
