Ov Curse is our official SXSW showcase, but that doesn’t mean that’s where our involvement with this year’s festival ends. From the 18th through the 20th, our buds at Mad Decent and IHEARTCOMIX have organized a monumental Carnival event down in Austin during the festivities.

If so, just step right up!  Step right up and experience all the carny fun and mayhem over three days of free music and booze!  Full blown carny rides, games, as well as fun booths and food galore await all who attend this expansive event.

Set on the immense grounds of the Mexican American Cultural Center, CARNIVILLE Austin will be the event to attend March 18th, 19th, 20th. Catch live music or take a break by shopping at the American Apparel Factory Flea Market.

Musical acts set to perform include: Major Lazer, The Walkmen, Diplo, Glass Candy, The Very Best, Rusko,  Jack Beats, Kid Sister, Hudson Mohawke, Sleigh Bells, Yacht, GZA, Rye Rye, Japanther, The Death Set, plus many, many more.

Unscheduled appearances along with additional surprises await those that come join the fun.  The carnies may or may not be toothless wonders. So come one, come all! Experience the madness of CARNIVILLE Austin 2010!

CARNIVILLE Austin is free to attend, but concert goers must RSVP.  There will be booze, so attendees must be 21 years of age.  For RSVP and additional information go here!

Jokers of the Scene – Bombs Over Belleville (Click Here to Download)

Those of you heading to our SXSW showcase curious as what to expect from a “dark” Jokers of the Scene set, should look no further than their most current mix for Canadian electronic music blog Curbcrawlers.

Those of you who remember (and hopefully downloaded) their Since Our Last Report Many Things Have Changed mix for Seattle clothing label Actual Pain should know that this is not JOTS’s first foray into the darker side of dance. However for this go around, the duo take things even blacker with a trip to the dark side that marks the end and a new beginning for the people behind the Clubcrawlers blog.

Download Bombs Over Belleville and this is what you can expect this coming 18th of March at our Ov Curse, official SXSW showcase: smoke, mirrors, driving basslines pounding straight for your hearts! This is the darker and deeper side of JOTS’s psyche.

Harvey Levin of TMZ approaches serious topics with Lil Jon from Lil Wayne’s dental problems, Obama to the meaning of skeet skeet all peppered by a slew of chuckles and randomness and some classic Lil Jon moments… all while sportin’ our Bad Luck sweater!

BTW: there’s an awkward initial minute and a half of nothing in the video… hold tight!

Also heck out this recent cover shot for Skinnie magazine, BASS MOSH all the way!

This IS the night you all have been waiting for, at least i know i have been! Trouble & Bass are proud to host the Boss of the West coast 12 Planet and his illustrious partner Flinch. The Duo will definitely serve up a healthy portion of wobbles and heavy bass lines that will make your insides beg for mercy! If You were in LA recently for our Echo Park store opening party you witnessed the mayhem of a 12th Planet set and this one will be even harder as he has not been to the east coast for quite sometime…

12th planet is riding really strong on his new release with Datsik, Texx Mars out now on SMOG; and of course his and Flinch’s epic Little Jinder remixes still haunts us all!

Check out as well this mental Doctor P remix of 12th Planet’s Reasons! WOW BASS!

Just in case you need more ammo, check out another pounding remix by the duo of Dave Nada’s Apocalypse Theme (above) and a more chilled out Flinch remix of the XX’s Shelter (below).

DJ Khaled dropped his latest album Victory today, and the third single “All I Do Is Win” now has a video. This song is an anthemic hood banger and I won’t be the least bit surprised to start hearing it on the block once the weather warms up. Oh yeah, did I mention that Ricky Ross is reppin’ Mishka HARD in the video. Yeah. The guy who’s raps are so ridiculous that you can’t help but want to hear more (kind of  like that pathological liar you would smoke weed with in high school when your stash ran out.) Our oversized mop 59Fifty never looked so gangster as it does in this video. I guess there is something to be said about the visual impact of stuntin’ with a Rolls Royce and a bad bitch by your side. RAAAWWWWWWSSSSS!!!!

What up to DJ Craze, the guy behind our latest Keep Watch mix, who caught the Oversized Mop hat in the video and tweeted it. Not only should you download the mix if you haven’t already, but you should follow him on twitter.

Finally Congorock is back! I’m sure all of you had been impatiently awaiting his return to this side of the country and now he’s back on the More Fire Tour in support of his upcoming release Babylon! This one’s gonna be one to remember for sure! The Flashing Lights crew will be heating up the night as they only know how with a magical blend of driving basslines all boiling up to the main event… FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

When the smoke has cleared, one man will appear (who knows maybe two) and then… Chaos! We are proud to present Congorock’s More Fire Tour along side Fools Gold Records and Undocumented Management.

If you need an early start, check out Congorock’s Keep Watch Mix Vol. IX or the above Kill With Video episode Congo Hot Sauce. BASS QUAKE!
