Dub-Step Anyone!?!

This past weekend was a prime example of Dub-Steps takeover of Kootenay culture.
Sat. night LIGHTA! Soundcrew put on an impressive display of hard-hitting, current beats 
@ Spiritbar. They then continued their audio-tirade @ the new after-hours club:

Then on Sunday, BASSFEST in Kaslo BC brought the younger emerging Dub-Step fans out in droves.
Jay  Wikid, Deeps and The Mongoose (of Glitchy & Scratchy) head-lined 
the party, with great local support. The forest setting was 
the perfect way to kick-off the outdoor party season.

Gift of Gab is AMAZING!

Just a glimpse.
