Australian blog, Discontent wrote up this nice little review of our recent release, ThisTroy by Cardopusher & Pacheko:
DJ C’s Mashit label has been going hard and not even considering going home throughout 2008 with releases from the label boss himself, alongside DJ Flack, Zulu, Bong Ra and Murderbot. Coming on like a bottom end Santa Claus, DJ C dropped some yultide cheer at the tail end of the year with a split release that went some way towards representing the new sound of Caracas - four tracks from the prolific producer Cardopusher (who recently dropped his Hyperdub debut), and three from new kid on the Venezuelan block, Pacheko. It’s not a particular surprise to find this pairing back to back - both seem entwined in each other’s back catalogue, with various remixes and mixtapes ricocheting between them. Pacheko also counts Starkey amongst his cohorts - with another recent split single (on Lo Dubs) and a remix from the Philadelphia producer.
The original version of the track below, ‘Green Bull’, features on the Mashit single, ‘This Troy’, however this sprightly bleep’n’bass version is released as a non-EP teaser. It’s a fair reflection of Pacheko’s output thus far - a producer with a cheeky spring in his dubstep, unafraid to rub electro melodies and pop-skank rhythms with his heavy bass treatments. Buy the release at mashit.com.
You can download a version of Pacheko’s track Green Bull over at the Dicontent post ->
Aight, folks! Starkey’s comin’ in to make his Chicago debut on Friday and we thought you might like a taste of what to expect at this sure-to-be-blazin’ party.
Video: Starkey Live Mix on Mary Anne Hobbs’ BBC Radio 1 “Generation Bass”:
…cranking out a steady stream of his own remixes, bootlegs, and 12″ tracks. This past year saw the release of his full-length debut Ephemeral Exhibits (Planet Mu), as well as the appearance of [Starkey’s] more club-bumpin’ tracks under his Moves!!! alias… [He] tops the roster at Lava on Friday, taking the headlining slot for what marks his Chicago debut. The opening sets belong to Timid and DJ C — the latter of whom will be performing with Chicago dancehall mic-masher MC Zulu.

Buy “ThisTroy” @ the Mashit MP3 Shop ->We’re honored to announce the Mashit release of “ThisTroy,” a split EP from Cardopusher and Pacheko. It’s 7 tracks of pure boom-step! The riddims are tight and the bass is HUGE!
Tracklist with Previews:
Cardopusher emerged out of Caracas, Venezuela a couple years ago and has since exploded onto the international dubcore and breakstep scenes. He now lives in Barcelona, Spain but isn’t home much due to his busy touring secueule. He’s released a wrath of speaker devistation on labels like Peace Off in France, Germany’s Ad Noiseam, Philly’s Flamin’ Hotz, Berlin’s Cock Rock Disco, Portland’s Lodubs, and many more. A Quarta 330 remix of the track “Homeless” (featured on this EP) was recently released on Kode9’s London-based Hyperdub label.
Pacheko is another rising star out of Caracas who’s currently got a split single out on Lo Dubs with street-bass-bot, Starkey. He’s got a couple other releases out too, but what’s more important is his huge, bassy, electro-melodic sound. We’re excited to be in the good graces of this artist who’s gonna be big! In addition to recording gigantic tracks he’s been running the Wob This parties in Caracas and has got lots more in the pipe!
Cardopusher and Pacheko were both featured on Bruno Belluomini’s mix for the XLR8R Podcast called “Dubstep Goes South” of which XLR8R said:
This selection of tracks, many of [them] unreleased, showcases how producers… …in the Southern hemisphere are interpreting the dubstep sound.
But that doesn’t begin to explain the extreme melodies within the forward-sonic rhythms encapsulated in these tracks. Just give a listen to the previews above.
More Quotes:
…two amazing producers from the streets of Caracas, Venezuela [join] forces on a split seven track EP out on Mashit. The bassheavy sound (dubcore and breakstep) has everything from melodic synthlines, woobly bass and hard hitting dubstep drums. It found its way into my heart [as well] as my Serato instantly.
- Discobelle.net
…check the track “Twins” — particularly the way Cardopusher lays down the requisite bass pulsations and smoked-out sonics sculpting, and then gradually builds the track up by layering on some dizzying polyrhythms and snatches of… classic reggae horn riffs. Leave it to a couple of artists from the tropic regions to know how to take the music back to its Caribbean roots.
— Graham Sanford, Gapers Block
Tight! is the word. Cardopusher brings an instant floor filler with ‘homeless’. …serious south american jump.
- Chris Widman (Abstract Science Raido)

DJ C
(Ohm, 31 NW 1st) DJ C got a couple of big breaks a few years ago. First, legendary BBC radio host John Peel named C’s Mashit Records label of the month, citing the ability of the first few releases to burn up just about any dance floor while mixing any and all genres. Shortly after that Diplo asked C to remix a track he was working on for M.I.A., which proceeded to completely explode, giving a boost to everyone involved. Aside from running and producing music for his own label, C has released tracks on Shockout, Ninja Tune, and Community Library. He appears in Portland for a special “Ragganaught” edition of Reactionary Tuesdays, a new breakcore and dubstep weekly at Ohm. Although DJ C makes it a point to represent a very wide variety of styles, expect a focus on jungle and ragga sounds this time around. - AVA
Over the past year DJ C has produced and released a whole slew of mashups and remixes, many of which have been available as part of our Free Tunes series. For this release we present those mashups all together as a free download album entitled “Mas Hits.”

London low-end wrecker the Bug + Montreal bounce maestro Ghislain Poirier = one hell of a sick combo.
Add to that Kingston Jamaica born, london bread dancehall vocalist Warrior Queen; Panamanian born, Chicago bread electro-reggae vocalist MC Zulu; Boston-bounced, bass-heavy genre destroyer DJ C, and it goes without saying that this party’s gonna be off the hook!
“The term rogue producer applies to Kevin Martin, who’s worked with the likes of John Zorn and Sonic Boom as well as curating some of the weirdest comps of the ’90s. Now, he’s latched onto the dubstep boom and basically conquered it with a fine album as the Bug. Tonight, he headlines with Montreal’s Ghislain Poirier—an intercontinental bass mechanic whom we quite like. Chicago’s DJ C makes us feel lazy with his productivity. We’re dying to hear what he digs up tonight. The ace MC Zulu is on hand, putting a Panamanian twist on the whole shebang.”

Our boy DJ Flack has been organizing a set of 2/dub/bass-step slammers for to rock the house at The Good Life in Boston on Wed:
In the past year and a half, there’s been a small explosion of club nights in Boston devoted to bass-centric genres first spawned in the clubs of London: bassline, 2-step, and (most famously) dubstep…
…This Wednesday, Operation Underground kicks off its ‘Home Grown Sessions,’ a series of parties spotlighting DJs and producers from the thriving local scene. The first of these features DJ FLACK (Tony Flackett), who runs the Beat Research weekly at Enormous Room.
