There was a rumble beneath the city streets as the subway raced from station to station underground. Down in the tunnels below there was a whole other world, hidden out of sight from the glitz and glamour of the skyscrapers and towerblocks. People lived rough, danced rough and gathered together as a dusty cult with mythical ideologies and unusual identities. They were wild and free, not rule bound in the same way as those were by the daylight. They lived amidst a twisted kingdom of darkness and thick air but they were sure as hell better than what was up top. 

Blâme is set to release a new EP on [re]sources - a heady EP with elements of dancehall, dub, idm, breakbeat and beyond. It's rounded off by a wicked collection of remixes featuring contributions from Mr Mitch, Piezo and more.

With love until the grave.

This bad gyal has been a long-time staple in Vancouver's underground bass scene for more than two decades. She started out by spending countless hours digging elbow-deep in crates of 45s in Canada, the US and Jamaica. Her finely curated sets landed her behind the decks continuously and firmly solidified her as a member of Vancouver's notorious LIGHTA! crew. She is well-known for her legendary mixes, some being all-vinyl releases, her true love. Blending reggae/dancehall with dembow/bass/rap/RnB/grime, her musical repertoire is expansive and fresh. A regular at Bass Coast, she also graced stages at Shambhala, Diversity and her family-run festival The Field. She rocked the Thunder Stage at LIB and made ripples at the Moon Stage at the Oregon Eclipse. She has opened for well-known artists in both the reggae/dancehall and international underground music scenes and graces underground parties spanning the west coast and other major musical hubs. In 2012 she gave birth to Lighta's youngest little member. bup!bup!
