Dubstep is making a come back, especially among older refugees from the drum-and-bass era. Like its forebear, dubstep creates big spaces in between big bass and works against the four-four rhythms of disco-inspired house. Jock/producer 12th Planet is a quality practitioner of the sound, and sometimes works on the Flying Lotus tip, welding hip-hop lyrics to his nimble but brutal productions. It’s not music for soul so much as it is for your heart: You feel it physically rather than spiritually. Anyway, 12th Planet will make for a good soundtrack for local arts collective (vis art and music) Artifakt’s third-anniversary soiree. Despite certain economic troubles, the band of electronic-music-and-hip-hop-loving promoters and curators continues to bring quality jocks and artists to its shows, and for th at, we salute you. Indeed, Artifakt’s three-year celebration features a force of other performers, including Antiserum and Whiskey Pete. KEVIN CAPP
