The Rumney brothers are ALWAYS super busy making so super awesome beats… I stalled on posting a new bootleg of theirs earlier this week and by today there is a whole lot more!

You ready?

First up… the bootleg… A slow burning dubstep mashup of Nirvana’s “Something in the Way“. It’s probably the first nirvana song I like! Something chilled to wake up to.

Something In The Way (Biscope Boot) by biscope

Then we have some “Lovestep” from the brothers for you… a track called Dragonfly featuring the beautiful vocals of Zaki Ibrahim. This is sexy dubstep at its best. Listen to it below!

Biscope – Dragonfly featuring Zaki Ibrahim by biscope

And then we have a bumper mix filled with loads of original stuff from Biscope. 47 minutes long and only 87MB… it’s a steal! Download via Soundcloud here or stream below!

Biscope – Let Your Love Grow Mix by biscope

Download, stream, listen… I just spent my morning doing it and I feel great!

The boys of Biscope add their own special touch to the track ‘Rockit’ by Sub Focus. In their own words it is a

proper distorted wobble remix of arguably the biggest D&B tune of 2009.

Grab the bass-heavy, bitchin’, boot below!

The Sound (artist page) is a remixer, producer and DJ from Cape Town who has been remixed the likes of kidofdoom and Haezer and worked along side other 021 artists, such as CoDeC. With a possible EP to be released in 2010 and more remixes to follow The Sound is definitely one to watch.

Access Violation is an instrumental track which features heavy distortion along side sweeping synths. It is never overpowering or ‘too heavy’, but instead is great to listen to and it might even get a few bodies moving!

The Sound - Access Violation

The Sound does it again on this remix, combining distortion and synths in a way that is dirty, but never too much. Very rad remix!

Haezer feat. Jax Panik - Sirens In The Night (The Sound Remix)

And why don’t you give a listen to the latest bootleg to come out of the Biscope beat shed. It’s smooth and sexy and I like it!

So the first remix of Tonight by Popskarr that I’ve come across is this awesome dubstep remake courtesy of the Rumney Bros. aka Biscope. The first 2:16 of the track lull you into a false sense of calmness that is completely destroyed as soon as that dirty bassline comes in (is that a Virus?). If this is the standard of remixes that we can expect I’m def. looking forward to hearing more! Grab it below.

Visit Juno to buy their track Down. Go on, do it! It’s cheap and gives the boys some much need synth-money

After the jump check out two more Biscope tracks: Fire and their remix of of Ben E. King’s Stand by Me!

True to Biscope form, Fire is a deep and dirty dubsteppin’ track.

Stereotypical Dubstep basslines and beats meet up with cut up rap samples, video game sounds and falsetto funk to make a mixture of dance-floor magic.

Biscope - Fire

Biscope – Fire by biscope

A really cool remix of the classic with a Biscope twist. Niiiice!

An epic remix of the all time feel-good classic that subtly builds from minimal organic textures into a stomping bass driven banger.

Our favourite urban dubsteppin, beats producing brotherly duo the Rumney brothers aka Biscope took advantage of some sick gear and the happy coincidence of both being down south to lay down 2 brand new tracks at the Red Bull Studio in Cape Town. As always Biscope bring us some bass heavy dubstep along with nod inducing beats.

Biscope - Down

This slow burner, as the name suggests, features a deep grinding bass that just keeps dropping, well, down… The twittering synths in the background are a nice touch too!

Biscope - It's Going

Slightly more uptempo, It’s going as the sample in it suggests goes crazy, with squelchy bass that seems to have been wrung out of the synths using sharp tools.

From the Red Bull Studio Blog:

Biscope describe their sound as Dubsteppin urban beats through the twin-tunnel vision of the Rumney brothers. The Rumney brothers refer to myself, Richard the Third and my brother Twelv. After playing a gargantuan set at Step Up, Cape Towns premiere Dubstep night, last month we quickly took the opportunity of getting into the Red Bull Studio’s to make some noise!

Rather than posting a picture of us, I’ve posted a picture of the two synths from the studio which we abused to come up with the sounds for the tracks I’ve posted here.

All in all we like monsters. And these two synths are nothing short of hideous, violent beasts of sonic mayhem capable of the most terrifyingly ill sounds. The said synths are the Moog Little Fatty and the Access Virus TI.

Got a new track in from the brothers Rumney… Biscope seems to be growing from strength to strength. This new one is called “Raging Fire”… in Richards own words, this is what it’s about: “Cut up funk-soul samples, head-banging hard-as-nails basslines and video game samples sent from the 80’s through a nightmarish time-warp machine.”

Let us know what you think!

I’m going to have to speak to Richard the Third because i’m a little confused. Do you pronounce the ‘Bi’ in Biscope like the ‘Bi’ in Biscuit or the ‘Bi’ in Bisexual? Erm… ya. So anyway, this track was unleashed towards the end of April and we’ve been meaning to put it up, but if any of you are in varisty you’ll understand that this is a busy time of the year. But enough with the excuses…

Biscope, in case you didn’t already know, consist of the Rumney Brothers aka Richard the Third and Twelv and in their own words produce ”Dub Stepping Urban Beats and Pieces”. This track is a “filthy dubstep bootleg” of Shimmy Shimmy Ya by ODB. Download it in its full 320kbps glory and prepare to get your headnod on… Oh Yeah!

Biscope - Ol Dirty (Shimmy Shimmy Ya Dubstep Remix) (320kbps & 16Mb totally worth it!)

Always keep it real, and remember I’m watching you!

We mentioned Richard The Third’s latest music endeavour a short while ago (here) and now we have more from this project called “Biscope”. Biscope is made up of Richard and his brother who goes by the name of Twelv and they describe the music as “Dub Stepping Urban Beats and Pieces”. Personally I love it… let us know if you do too in the comments section at the bottom of the post!

They sent us a sample track as well…

Richard The Third is a really busy dude when it comes to making awesome music. He dropped me a mail with the details of a mix he did for a project of his under the name of “Biscope”! So now we have even more proof that Cape Town is definitely taking the lead when it comes to dubstep in South Africa!
