Dubstep Directive - Get Me A Squeezebox


This is a special edition of the Dubstep Directive called "Get Me A Sqeezebox" in which we will feature dubstep with polka influences, Balkan beats, Gypsy Brass and Grooves and accordion samples.

This has been an intensive episode of the Dubstep Directive with a lot or work, a lot of me pestering people (my apologies) and moving and mixing to get this episode just right.

The original picture was taken by Andy Friedl and is under Creative Commons license.

Thanks to all who were involved!

Let's get past this part and move right into the....

Delay in getting the podcast out

Dear Everyone,

Letting you know that the next edition of the Chilldown Period is on delay for a couple of days. Life sometimes isn't a fair maiden and so the podcast has not been a top priority as of late. My goal is to have it out by Tuesday barring anything crazy happening.

My sincerest apologies to everyone.
